Santa Rosa Beach Cottage: Walk to Beaches!

Reviews

• Great stay at Old Florida Cottages house in Santa Rosa Beach

  5/5

  This is a lovely 2 bedroom home that 4 of us stayed in recently during our trip to Santa Rosa Beach. Even though we were here during the rain and storms from Hurricane Francine (that made landfall in Louisiana but impacted weather here most of the week) we managed to have a good time. The home is located very close to the beach (5 minute walk down) and it's a great beach there also. Restrooms and showers and bike racks as well as public parking available at beach entrance.

  Home was furnished very nicely, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, recently remodeled and nice bathrooms also.

  Location is perfect as well for shopping, restaurants, bike rentals, and near the wonderful Blue Mountain Creamery for ice cream and the Blue Mountain Bakery, which has delicious breakfast and lunch food.

  Gulf Place is a close walk or short bike ride away with shopping and places to eat also (Pizza by the Sea - great place!) Our family enjoyed every minute and we would love to come back!

• Good Location but...

  3/5

  I recently stayed at this vacation rental with my family and was thrilled with the location—it was incredibly convenient and close to everything we wanted to explore. Unfortunately, the overall experience was marred by the presence of roaches and other insects. Despite the ideal location and the rental's potential, the pest issue made our stay uncomfortable and less enjoyable than we had hoped especially considering my small children were there. I did notify the property manager who offered to have pest control come out but then realized that had just treated tye property prior to our arrival. The property could also use a deep cleaning and new paint job on the interior. I hope the property management addresses this concern promptly, as the location truly deserves a better rating.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Andrea, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The property is routinely serviced by a professional pest control company, and there have been no prior issues with insects. We understand that encountering pests during your stay is unacceptable, and we take this matter very seriously.
  - Maintaining cleanliness during your stay can help mitigate any potential issues. Nevertheless, we will promptly have the pest control team revisit the property to ensure it remains pest-free
  - We would also like to note that damages to the property, including the broken sofa frame, were found after your stay. While we expect all guests to maintain the property during their visit, we will take additional steps to ensure the home is in top condition for future guests.
  
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

• Perfect Paradise Hidden

  Wow. This little cottage home was perfect place to have the experience of the beach while having the loving neighbor family houses we are used to in Texas. Close to the beach and lots of other places to visit.

• Great Vacation.

  5/5

  Property was clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Location was great and the HOA had a reserved area on the beach for lounging. The pool was just cross the street as well. As a bonus there was a closet on the back porch filled with beach toys and a few chairs to use. Will definately stay here again.
