A Hidden Oasis!

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. We were looking for a property close to the beach but we also wanted a “private” pool. The photos on the advertisement were spot-on. The pool is beautiful and we had to pry ourselves away to go to the beach. Everything we needed was there. The pre-check-in information was very detailed and provided easy access for our entry. The A/C worked great and the bed was very comfortable. The whole property is super clean and the furnishings and decorations were beautifully done. When we finally decided to leave the pool and go to the beach everything we needed was available from bicycles to chairs and beach towels. The house is nestled in a beautifully manicured yard and the area is quiet and private. It was truly a great experience, and the few questions we had during our stay were immediately responded to by our host. We highly recommend this property for anyone that values privacy, peace, and quiet. It is a hidden oasis!

Perfection in Every Way!

I don’t have enough space to say how amazing this property is. My top 10 favorite things… 1. The home is spotless and perfectly furnished. 2. I absolutely love the outdoor shower! So beautifully crafted, and all the amenities too. 3. Having the cart to attach to one of the bikes was so perfect. We used it to bring home carry-out breakfast and pizza, to grab groceries, to take all our chairs to the beach. 4. I love really cute coffee mugs with some thing special printed on the inside. The kitchen has everything you need including really sweet coffee mugs. 5. From dinner recommendations to the perfect spot for a Mani/Peti (I❤️”Polished”) the owner’s ideas were fantastic. 6. Everything was conveniently located to this house. The beach, the shopping, restaurants, Publix, everything easy to get to. 7. All of the knobs on the doors and cabinets are perfectly chosen Seaglass colors. 8. The beds were very comfortable! This is important to us. 9. I love the swing on the front porch. Very clean. Very sturdy. So relaxing. 10. We never watch TV on vacation. I have to say that the couch and TV area are so inviting, we did watch a great show on Netflix and also played cards in this area. I have sent so many great pictures to my friends and family. We will definitely be back.

Cute house

This is the perfect little house. The backyard and front porch are incredible! Short walk or bike ride to the beach. They have everything you could possibly need. It’s also SUPER clean. Heather texted on check-in day to make sure we got in okay and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Peaceful, near beach bungalow.

Received a text as soon as checkin was available. The place looked spotless and smelled very clean. Have to admit the the wife was initially disappointed with the location being approximately .5 mile from the beach. However, while having a drink on the porch the first night she appreciated the privacy and atmosphere offered by the location. The bicycles were a nice touch, along with provided beach amenities. This was our first VRBO experience and will not be our last. Heather is an excellent host. The panhandle is now our favorite Florida destination. We will return.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Woodward

Hi! We are Chris, Heather, and Luke, your hosts. As a Southern native, I (Heather) hold cherished memories of these beaches from my early years. These very coastlines were where we introduced our son to the sun, sand, and gulf coast when he was merely a small itty bitty baby! And yes, all he seemed to want to do was eat the sand! Nowadays, keeping him away from the water is nearly impossible. I am employed at a thriving real estate firm in Crested Butte, CO. My husband, Chris, serves as my invaluable partner, working alongside my team of skilled assistants. Chris prefers working behind the scenes and oversees all general property upkeep at our properties. Alongside these two properties, we are proud owners of an 1880s historic schoolhouse in Crested Butte that we delicately remodeled in 2019 and 2020.
My passion lies in providing our guests with exceptional care to guarantee a wonderful vacation experience. We understand the significance of taking time off and are thrilled to share these two remarkable properties with you.

Why they chose this property

It was love at first site when we laid eyes on this original 1980's cinder block beach cottage. We prefer well loved and cared for homes that tell a story of how things used to be and honor the history of the area. We aren't fancy people and don't need a big home to enjoy the simplicity of the beach. We also like to lay low and prefer the private aspect of this property. We like how easily we can be "in it", with all the restaurants and so many fun activities close by, but also be on the very quiet side of 30A. This property checked that box for us.

What makes this property unique

The screened in front porch is one of our favorite spots of the house especially enjoying it in one of the teak rocking chairs. Granted this 1000 square foot home isn't that big. It is sweet, compact and just what we wanted in a beach home. You can kick back and enjoy the beach without things being too fussy. Sort of like how it was when I was growing up visiting the beach. We hope you will enjoy it too!
