Lovely house!

Everything about this house was perfect for our family of 6 adults. Short walk to the beach, with a canopy, chairs, and beach wagon all available for our use. The house is beautifully decorated, and only 2 stories, so not so many stairs! The hosts responded quickly to my questions, and were very nice to communicate with. Will definitely return to this rental again!

Our family of 5 and our friends loved this home. It came with all the amenities described, but most importantly it was only a few minute walk to the beach! Great spot for young families who need to be able to get back to the house for anything if needed.

Return to 30A

We have stayed in Santa Rosa Beach area twice before this visit but Victoria and Atef’s home in the Old Florida Cottages neighborhood was by far our best accommodations. The 3 bedroom , 3 bathroom home was recently beautifully remodeled! The location was great , directly across the street from the heated pool which we enjoyed often , and a 4-5 minute walk to the beach, short walk to several restaurant and shop options. Victoria and Atef treated us extremely well , dropping off beach toys for our grandkids visits , supplying chairs and a beach wagon , stopping by promptly to take down a wasp nest , supplying restaurant options . They also allowed us to extend our 5 week stay by an additional 2 days , charging us for only 1 extra day , giving us 1 day free. We had a wonderful visit and plan to return and are Already looking into rebooking this same home in 2025!

Perfect!

We stayed Thurs - Mon with 4 adults and 4 kids. The house had the perfect space for everyone to sleep, relax and eat together. Kitchen was stocked with basics, bathrooms had plenty of towels. King bed is firm, queen bed is softer and the pillows were plentiful and dreamy. The pool is across the community drive way a few steps from the house, although we could hear the kids we could not see them due to trees. We rented a golf cart from the place on the corner and had no problems finding a spot on the beach for the day as long as we set up early.

Upset by disrespectful communication after check out

We are a family of seven adults and have stayed in the Old Florida Cottages a total of 4 times over the years. We love this area! We have never had a problem with the property manager or received a complaint from VRBO or any other vacation rental. About 2 hrs after checking out today we received a rude text communication from Victoria the property manager. When I asked her to please explain the problem I was only answered with more rude and inconsiderate communication. I called to speak with her in person since we sincerely tried to meet the expectations outlined in the checkout instructions. We took out the kitchen trash, cleaned some of our used towels, filled and started the dishwasher and checked out on time. We left the place ready for a basic cleaning as we do all of our vacation rentals. I was hoping to get some specific information so that we might understand the problem. So far Victoria’s claims have not been substantiated by any constructive communication or evidence. We saw the cleaning folks arrive at 10 and the scathing text messages began at noon. We are offended by the lack of respectful communication and truly hope you will find a well suited property manager for this beautiful home.

Excellent Stay - some helpful info to add

Great location with 5 minute walk to Santa Rosa Beach and half mile walk to shops or restaurants. Had everything we could need for a family stay including a Keurig and drop coffee pots! Beds/linens were comfortable. Very nicely decorated. Some potentially useful tips for travelers: 1) depending on how many people in your party and length of stay you may want to bring/get more TP and paper towels. 2) beach towels were included on property along with bathing towels - nice! 3) Kitchenware lacked skillet lids that fit properly, making it somewhat challenging to cook specific meals 4) Kitchen had no spices, no oil, no cooking spray. Little things that would've helped but there's a Walmart 5 miles away. 5) There may or may not be laundry detergent (we left a bottle but who knows?) so you may need your own. 6) Host was very attentive to texts and messages - thank you!
