Santa Rosa Beach Cottage: Walk to Beaches!

Reviews

• Old Florida Fun

  5/5

  This is our first time staying in Santa Rosa Beach but it will not be our last. The location is great, and the neighborhood is very nice.

  Got a great deal, it’s an awesome location and we will try and book here again!

  We experienced trouble getting into the house the day we got there, but after that, everything went smoothly. Nice place and great location. Quick walk to the beach.

• 30a gem

  5/5

  We loved the location of this property and proximity to beach, restaurants and 30a fun! The rooms were nice, beds comfortable, and bathrooms great. Kitchen had almost everything you would want in your own kitchen, and nice pantry space. WiFi was great, which isn’t always the case on 30a! There were a few items broken, including a Kitchen cabinet door, but it did not affect our stay, and we reported to Evolve for fixing! Overall would definitely recommend this location and property!

• Bare bones rental - needs some help

  3/5

  We were quite disappointed in our stay, from beginning - our check in directions we’re incorrect so we were hunting around for a lock box that apparently didn’t exist- we had to contact property manager for help.

  Ground floor had living room and kitchen. Would have liked more seating in the living room beside just one small couch and chair. Also from the first night we noticed the television did not work and the property manager also did not know how to assist so we were whole stay without TV- not the biggest deal because we were at beach but you would expect everything to work for price you are paying. The kitchen has almost no cooking supplies so be prepared to bring everything from home- coffee filters, coffee, seasonings, oils, plastic wrap tin foil etc. kitchen also had quite a few dishes in the cabinets that were quite dirty which was not great to see.

  The bedrooms upstairs were a bit small but alright, the bathroom towels were literally the thinnest smallest towels we have seen though, I compare them to trying to use a paper towel as a bath towel.

  Overall houses style was just outdated in general, this has potential to be good rental but need to upgrade a lot of things to make it worth the cost.

  The only saving grace was that it’s walking distance from beach so the location and neighborhood were great, but there are many other houses in 30 A we have stayed in that are much more updated and better quality

• Good Space and Location

  4/5

  We love this area of Santa Rosa Beach and the quick access the Old Florida Cottages have to beach. If parking is crowded, it's an easy walk or bike ride. We also love the easy access to Goatfeathers, bike rentals, and breakfast at the corner of 30A just up the street!

  The house is a great space for a small group or family and tucked into the corner of the neighborhood.
