About this property
Hideaway Cottage - Renovated Private Retreat, just steps to the beach!
Welcome to Hideaway Cottage - an adorably renovated beach bungalow just steps from the beach! This lovely cottage has been lovingly restored to include SubZero and JennAir appliances in a modern take on a 1950's beach cottage. Tucked away out of site and well off the street, Hideaway Cottage is nestled at the back of a large private yard. A mere 380' (5 houses) away from having your toes in the sand, you can see the beautiful beach and Gulf of Mexico from the street out front.
The cottage features a screened in front porch with a small table and chairs to enjoy your breakfast while taking in the beautiful landscaping, or snuggle up with a book on the porch swing. Inside the cottage you will find a living room with seating for four and a wall mounted TV. The kitchen offers a SubZero refrigerator and freezer, a JennAir cooktop and microwave, as well as a dishwasher. At the back of the cottage, you will find the bedroom and bathroom. The spacious bedroom offers a plush queen size bed, two bright and stylish chests to put away all of your clothes, and a desk - perfect for working remotely. The bathroom features Toto fixtures and a walk in shower.
Just outside the rear door lies the wooden patio. Rinse off after your beach time in the outdoor shower and then relax in the rocking chairs will you dry off in the sun. The outdoor dining table seats 4, with an umbrella to provide shade during the summer season. A charcoal grill is perfect for grilling up your favorite meal after a long day on the beach.
After the sun sets, fire up the fire pit and relax under a star filled sky. We provide complimentary firewood, and the fire pit is always a favorite feature of our guests!
*There is another cottage at the front of the property on the street. This cottage is not rented, and is only used by the homeowner a handful of times during the year. The entire yard and rear cottage are exclusively yours to use throughout your stay!

We loved staying at the cottage for our 10th wedding anniversary! Easy access to the beach, secluded and private, screened in porch, new appliances—everything we needed for a relaxing and fun week away from the rest of the world. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again!

Loved our stay here, bed was comfy, place was super clean. Loved the short stroll to the beach. Owners were not home in the front house so it was very private. Best suited for a couple, not a place for a family.

What a great little property. Very close to the beach. Super clean and quiet. The property owners were there at the front house, they're very nice and stay to themselves. The wife and I will definitely book another trip here.
In quiet neighborhood easy 2 minute walk to the beach.
Great setting just off the street behind owners house. Enjoyed meeting and chatting with the owners Denise and David. Chelsey was easy to communicate with promptly answered all questions prior to arrival. When we arrived everything was exactly per descriptions. Looking forward to visiting again.

Thank you so much for the kind words, David. We are so glad that you and your wife enjoyed your stay!
Stop thinking about it and just do it! Hands down best place we’ve ever stayed in this area. Clean, private, and a short walk to the beach. You can see the ocean from your parking spot! The backyard was wonderful. Blueberry bushes, orange trees, roses and a fire pit ta boot. It did not disappoint. I’d stay here again and again!

The cottage was perfect for 2. Cottage was clean, decorated nicely, and had everything we needed. Short and easy walk to the beach. We loved this location because it was away from the craziness/crowds. We would love to come back and stay.
Amazing property super clean and homey walking distance to the beach couldn't be any perfect than that 😁 just don't go around spring break too much chaos. But over all the experience was perfect will definitely stay again 👍
We loved the hideaway cottage. Very cozy comfortable cottage with top quality appliances and thoughtful details. It was a very short walk to the beach so we could carry our gear with us.
30A Ocean Blue manages a select handful of properties from Gulf Place down to Laguna Beach. We maintain an intentionally small selection of impeccably maintained properties that offer you a wonderful home away from home experience. We would love to accommodate you on your next getaway to the 30-A area!
Why they chose this property
Hideaway is a refreshing retreat, just 5 houses back from the beach. Walk to Thomas' Donut Shack for some of the best donuts in the area, or venture just down the street to Carousel Market for your grocery needs! Laguna Beach is a quiet area nestled between the busy neighbors of 30-A and Panama City Beach. Come see why our guests come back year after year!
