Great space for a young family or a couple. The carriage house has 2 rollaway beds suitable for younger children- these are available upon request. We can sleep 2 adults and 2 children.
Greetings and welcome to our tranquil and secluded oasis, "Beach Therapy 30A." Our charming Carriage House is situated in the lovely enclave between the breathtaking beaches of Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach. As our esteemed guest, you will have access to our stunning gated beach entrance, reserved exclusively for homeowners and guests, nestled in the idyllic community of The Preserve. Our distinguished community boasts a total of 125 lots, ensuring a serene and peaceful experience for our treasured guests. Our delightful amenities will captivate and enthrall you throughout your stay. Take a refreshing dip in our two magnificent pools. During peak weeks in the fall and winter, our west pool is heated to ensure optimal comfort and relaxation. The east pool is located in close proximity to our private beach entrance, so feel free to cool off before heading back to your charming abode. Relish the luxurious comforts of our King-size bed, adorned with opulent cotton linens and stunning duvets. Sink into the four soft and cozy king pillows that welcome you each night. If you desire additional pillows, do not hesitate to make a request. Towels and washcloths will be abundantly supplied during your stay, and we have furnished our elegant dispensers with sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your convenience. Our Carriage House kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, including a gas range and oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A commercial ice machine is conveniently located in the main house, with unlimited bagged ice provided for your use. There is no need to purchase ice during your stay. For our returning guests, please note that we always value your feedback and suggestions, which is why we have taken them to heart. We are grateful for our repeat guests and continually strive to improve their experience. Our newest addition is a complimentary beach service for two. Beach towels are also available for your convenience, so leave yours at home. If you desire to explore beyond the immediate area, we have added two Aventon cruisers, allowing you to experience the allure of Rosemary and Alys Beach. The Farmers' Market in Rosemary Beach takes place on Sundays, and the cruisers offer a practical way to carry your purchases. The E-Bikes are perfect for visiting Red Bar and Chiringo, especially as parking is limited in those areas. Moreover, they provide a fun and enjoyable means of exploring the various areas of 30A that you have only seen in pictures. Food enthusiasts will appreciate our extensive knowledge of local restaurants. We are delighted to offer recommendations ranging from Shunk Gulley, Hurricanes Oyster Bar, Borrago, Great Southern, Blue Mabel, and more. If you enjoy cooking, our fully stocked kitchen includes a Kitchen Aid mixer, perfect for those who love to bake. Additionally, cooking classes are offered throughout 30A, and we can provide information about these local events. We take pride in our stringent cleaning procedures, which are meticulously implemented between guest stays. All linens, rugs, and soft items are removed, cleaned, and replaced, while all mattresses and pillows are encased. Our owner-managed home is maintained by the owner, ensuring impeccable attention to detail and a thoroughly sanitized space. For our esteemed guests traveling with pets, we are delighted to offer pet-friendly accommodations. Please note that a fee of $200 per dog is required, and dogs must be crated when you are not present in the carriage house with them. We have Golden Retrievers ourselves and appreciate that some guests may not prefer crating their pets. Unfortunately, one of our previous guests did not crate their dog, leading to the animal escaping the carriage house and getting lost for 90 minutes. This incident was distressing for the dog and could have been prevented if the pet was crated. During the season (March 1 - October 31), we offer beach service to ensure our guests' optimal enjoyment of the beach. Our extensive amenities include beach bikes, a child bike trailer (available upon request, free of charge), children's size bikes (available upon request, free of charge), beach towels, backpack chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys (skim boards, boogie boards, night-time crabbing equipment), coolers (available free of charge), a commercial ice machine, infant and toddler items (pack and play, high chair, baby gate), Black Rifle coffee, tea, sugar/Splenda, salt/pepper, local honey, shrimp boil pot, gas grill, hairdryer, washer/dryer (with detergent provided), and paper goods (napkins, toilet paper, paper towels). As an additional benefit, a GOLF CART is included with your stay (drivers' license and insurance information must be submitted to the homeowner). Our golf cart allows you to effortlessly explore and enjoy the charming 30A area.

Perfect choice to celebrate our anniversary. Exactly as shown and more! Communication between the owners and us was immediate
Thank you for sharing your get-away cottage
This was our most favorite VRBO place we have ever stayed. From the amazing welcome to the beautiful and clean space to the bikes and other amenities, everything was perfect! We will be back!

Wonderful spot to get away to the beach. The carriage house is very clean, the owner's are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they provide everything you need.
You can't beat the walkability to dining locations, the beach, and a local bakery. Plus, the golf cart let's you access even more locations and dining spots!

Awesome carriage house. Exceptionally clean with all amenities included. The owners are super friendly and help you navigate the property upon arrival. Loved that everything was included with rental including beach service. Beach was roomy and not over crowded as some are on 30 A.

Thank you so much for choosing our carriage house for your stay.
We had a fantastic trip and loved this carriage house. Every thing you can imagine is there. We enjoyed the beach set up and pickleball courts. Having a golf cart is super handy too. The mattress and linens were so nice and the house was spotless. The only thing to note is if you are not an early riser or sensitive to light in your bedroom, the sun rises in those 3 East facing windows you see pictured above the bed. Overall, a great value for such nice space and location. Sean and Eileen are great communicators and easy to work with.

Thank you so much for the review- We installed black out shades on all of the carriage house windows :)
My wife & I got to stay for a few days and totally enjoyed our time here. The place was immaculate & utterly enjoyable. I was a little uncertain about the distance to the beach, but it was great. There is a walk, but it was easy, and beautiful and actually added to the experience.
The host was fantastic....checking in often and offering any information or help that she could give. I can’t recommend this location more, and look forward to visiting again.

Hello Bill-
Thank you for choosing our place to stay as I know you did have beach front options and cjose us. I love the beachwalk as well- I do not think you guys got to do it at night but I love all the noises that the forest supplies and being able to see so many stars. Again, Thank you as a fellow Floridian for coming to stay - We hope when you are up this way you feel free to reach out again.
Shawn & Eileen :)
The location is PERFECT. The gated community is so very nice. A relatively short (and beautiful) walk to the beach and a quick ride to Seaside for shopping, meals, and ice cream. We drove the golf cart into Seaside almost daily. Eileen and Shawn were friendly and helpful. The carriage house was extremely clean and very well-appointed. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Brianna,
Thank you so much for staying with us- we look forward to you returning.
We had an absolute wonderful stay at BeachTherapy30A! We actually got engaged during our stay here. The carriage house is stunning and exquisitely clean. We brought our goldendoodle with us, too. It is the perfect size with easy access to everything in 30A. The golf cart was amazing! We never even used our car while there. Thank you for a dreamy vacation!

CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement!!!!!!- So glad you were able to squeeze that in- now off to planning the wedding- Congrats again
I am so glad I found this carriage house for our trip to 30A. This is the first smaller place I have come across with so many amenities. You have access to a golf cart, beach chairs, beach toys including skim and boogie boards, and all the gadgets you would ever need in the kitchen. The flat walk to the private beach is super easy with the cart provided and the owner Eileen is super accommodating. Great find!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to host you. We know that there are other choices on 30A- Just glad you chose our home.
The epitome of a dog friendly rental hosted by dog people with exquisite taste. Better yet, they are amazing communicators and representatives of the community they call home. We loved the seclusion of the private beach and pool options. Yet you are close enough to a myriad of restaurants and more touristy stops if you are so inclined. This is the best VRBO experience we have ever had. Kudos!

John- it was great having you guys- Come back again!!!!
Big things do come in small packages. From the coffee in the pantry on the first morning to the full range of beach gear, the fat tire wagon to pull it on the sand, and the golf cart to get from A to B, everything was perfect. Eileen is a wonderful host and even had a brand new roasting pan in the kitchen in anticipation of Thanksgiving cooking. Can't recommend highly enough!

Thank you guys so much for staying- Loved how you and your friends do a "beachgiving" Thank you so much for the gumbo. It was delicious!!!!!
My husband, 17 year old daughter, and 55lb dog stayed at Shawn and Eileen’s carriage house for 7 days at the start of Spring Break. The attention and care was evident from check in to check out. Spotlessly clean and excellent location to bike, walk and drive to explore 30A. Beach access was lovely, and although a chair service was arranged by the hosts, we did not use it as it was a bit chilly for us on the beach - however I can picture how lovely and convenient it would be on hot days. 10/10 stay. Thank you Eileen and Shawn!

Thank you so much for that wonderful review- we are so glad you enjoyed your time and look forward to hosting you again and who knows- possibly becoming beach neighbors!!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the carriage house! We had unexpected cold weather while we were there so we didn’t make use of the golf cart or bikes, but the house had so many amenities to offer. We loved the location on 30A as we were close to everything we wanted to do and had a great walking trail to walk our pup. The carriage house is perfectly located near the beach and many restaurants! The private beach access was wonderful and we really enjoyed the walks down there. Eileen and her husband were great hosts! Very clean and everything we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Eileen OSullivan 631-946-1189
Welcome! We are Shawn and Eileen O’Sullivan and we are the owners of Beach Therapy 30A, located in Grayton Beach, FL.
Originally, we are from Long Island, NY where we spent the beginning of our lives. We are high school sweet hearts – Shawn went on to become and police officer and paramedic for almost 30 years and Eileen worked as a emergency room nurse before becoming a stay at home mother.
We also have 2 amazing children – Kelly and Chris. Kelly is a doctor and Christopher is a math teacher!
We spent many years deciding on where to build our retirement home, and we believe we truly found a gem in the 30A community.
Some of Eileen’s favorite hobbies include going to the beach and laying in the sun. Beach Therapy 30A is walking distance to a beach! Meanwhile, Shawn enjoys grilling, spending time with the dogs (his other children), and photography!
The Grayton Beach area is picturesque and the perfect place to enjoy all of your hobbies and maybe try some new ones! We love it so much – that we want to share it with all of you!
Why they chose this property
I love this property because of its proximity to everything 30A has to offer. But if you want some down time that is available as well. We are a short walk to a deeded gated beach access to areas of public beach that have minimal access points- You will be sitting on the beautiful white sand and relaxing in no time.
What makes this property unique
Our proximity to Grayton proper and all the restaurants- Seaside and gulf place a quick bike ride or drive away.
