About this property

Great Rate/Reviews, Renovated, 3br2/bh, Pool/Porch/5Mn Walk to Relax on Beach

Note that someone at least 25 years old must be staying at this property throughout the entire booking and, although we personally enjoy pets, no pets are allowed in the cottage because we have family and guests with severe pet allergies.


Imagine settling into a lovely cottage with a large covered porch, less than a minute walk from a big community pool, and an easy 5 minute walk to a deeded beach access where you can relax and set up your beach gear - all at a reasonable rate. You may be wondering why we can offer great rates even though our cottages are beautifully, recently renovated (We also own the Good Life Cottage next door - VRBO Listing 25160). There is no catch or downside - that's why we get such reviews. We can offer great rates because our cottages have been paid off for quite a while and we simply take pride in sharing our cottages and making high-quality vacations available to guests so that they can make memories with the people they love - and love makes the world go 'round, right? We want our guests to walk into the cottages and immediately think "Wow, we sure are lucky we found this place!" Not surprisingly, we have many happy return guests. A word to the wise - Note that VRBO's algorithm for calculating the "average nightly rate" is often significantly inaccurate so you'll need to plug in your exact dates when you want to compare the actual average nightly rates at different properties. When you do so, you'll see that our rates are among the best you'll find.


LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage and its equally charming twin cottage next door, The Good Life, are located at the Cottages at Camp Creek, a small, quiet, peaceful-even-during-peak-seasons, family-friendly coastal community of charming Old Florida style cottages with tin roofs and large covered front porches - perfect for relaxing any time of year. Nestled in the sand lush native dune environment with sand oaks and palmettos and far from fast food, high-rises, and highways, this cottage is only 200 yards (4-5 minute walk) from a Blue Wave certified beach known for high dunes, white sand, and emerald water. Key Lime Cottage is so close to the beach, there is no need for shuttles, golf carts, or parking (which is quite limited during peak seasons). In addition to our deeded beach access where you can set up and relax on the beach, the cottage is only 1/3 mile (15 minute walk) from a public beach access as well. The cottage has two private parking spaces next to the cottage (which makes it easy when carrying items between your car and the cottage).


Located along Scenic 30A (a 15-mile winding beach road), this spacious and sunny one-story cottage is in a prime location, just steps from the pristine 7500 square foot pool yet not right on top of the pool so you can enjoy quiet and privacy on your large fully-furnished front porch that looks over a peaceful little yard surrounded by pretty native plants and trees. The large porch is particularly handy on rainy days when you want to be outside and enjoy the rain from the comfort of the porch, and it's great to have the pool closeby, especiallly on days when the ocean is too rough for swimming. As you can see from the location map, Key Lime is also one of the larger one-story cottages and is one of the closest cottages to the beach, with the Timpoochee Trail - a 17-mile paved walking, running and biking trail - across the street.


As you can see from our guests' reviews, we take very good care of our guests and cottages, and we furnish and equip our cottage to feel like a comfortable and very well equipped beach home rather than a vacation rental. A travel writer who stayed at our cottages for a wedding wrote a newspaper article saying that our cottages are "tastefully decorated with many personal touches and immaculate." Furnished in a casual and modern beach cottage style, the dining and living area opens to a large porch furnished as an outdoor room with a dining area, as well as a comfortable seating area by a small private yard with a private gas grill. The living room (with large flat screen smart TV for watching your own Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc., as well as TV channels), dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen have hardwood floors, and plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing, reading or watching movies, playing games, and doing puzzles together. We also provide free wireless Internet.


The newly renovated kitchen features natural warm wood cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage. The cabinets and drawers are filled with plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware, cookware, and more (including a crockpot, waffle maker, electric grill, toaster, blender) and fun plastic beachy plates, bowls, and glasses. You'll have everything you need to feed 2 or 12 people! There is a full-size dishwasher, washer, and dryer at the cottage. Just so you know that we keep our cottages up-to-date, in addition, the air conditioner/furnace and water heaters are new as well. Although you can't see these types of upgrades, you can certainly feel them!


When you want time alone, retreat to the privacy of your bedroom decorated in a charming seaside style. All are comfortably furnished with high-quality fresh cotton quilts that are changed after every guest, smart TVs, and full length room-darkening drapes for our guests who like to sleep in or take a sweet nap in the afternoon. One bedroom has a king bed and a private travertine-tiled full bathroom. The two other bedrooms (one has a queen bed and the other has a bunk bed). There is a second bathroom with a travertine shower and travertine floors.


We have many repeat guests because our guests appreciate the 'extra touches' and attention to detail that we provide in our cottages, We include beach chairs and plenty of puzzles, games, books and more for the youngest to oldest guests. We make it easy for our guests to stay organized by providing plenty of hooks on the walls in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallway; renovated closets with hanging spaces as well as cubbies for easy storage, and hampers in the bedrooms. We know these types of details matter, especially when travelling with families.


As you can see from the top ratings from 70+ guests, we really, really care about our guests and do what we can to help make your vacation a happy and relaxing one. We have over 20 years of experience taking care of our guests, and we are sincerely committed to our goal of helping you make memories to last a life time. Although our cottages are beautifully designed, equally important to us is that our guests feel relaxed, comfortable, and happy when at the cottage.

Available year-round. Large enough for multigenerational families, yet cozy enough for couples to enjoy special time alone together. Perfect for friends travelling together as well.


Important Details: As noted above, we cannot have pets in the cottage beause we have family members and guests with serious pet allergies. At least one guest booking and staying at the cottage must be at least 25 years old because this is a family-friendly community. No smoking. Parking of RVs, motor boats, and jet skis are not allowed in this community. These rules are enforced by our association, as well as by the rental agency, to ensure that all guests have a safe and relaxing vacation.

Great stay
Very responsive and helpful owner. Private beach is close (public beach is not too far either). Short bike ride to Alys and Rosemary beach shops area. Cottage is clean and I would say maybe even larger than appears on website. Back covered deck was lovely for breakfast as well as meals. Pool is very close although not heated for spring break. There is a small hot tub. Loved it - would definitely stay again!

Perfect Fall Break Trip!
Key Lime Cottage had everything that my family of four needed to have an amazing Fall Break Getaway! The cottage was well appointed, very clean, and the location was perfect. The beach was gorgeous and not overly crowded. The property’s pool and hot tub a few steps away from the cottage were a huge hit with our kids. My husband and I enjoyed the setting of the cottage’s back deck among the landscaping. The owner made sure that we felt welcome, and we are already planning our next trip back! This place is a gem!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Caproni

Host profile image
We live in the cold snowy Midwest and love coming to our Florida cottages. We are big believers in vacations! We come to the cottages with family, friends (including my girlfriends from college). Sometimes, we use both cottages together, and we stay in one cottage and our friends stay in the other cottage (we also own Key Lime next door VRBO 33828). Unfortunately, we can't be there all the time, so we're happy that our guests can enjoy them when we're not there!

Why they chose this property

We decided to buy Key Lime Cottage after we bought Ahhh The Good Life (VRBO 25160 next door) because we enjoyed Ahhh The Good Life and the Cottages at Camp Creek so much. The Cottages at Camp Creek is a small gem of a community which is quiet even during the busiest seasons. We also liked the idea of having two side by side cottages for when we (and our guests) travel with friends and family who want to spend time together and have some privacy as well. We love the location (off the beaten track yet close to everything we need - restaurants, coffee shop, parks, bike trail), lovely quiet beach with stunning sunsets, very big pool (I love to swim laps in the mornings when I'm there and lay on a float in the pool in the evening and watch the stars come out), big porch (which is great for when it rains, too), and the design of the cottage which is so nicely laid out. We also thought it would be great to have the side-by-side cottages for when we travel with family and friends (and for when our guests travel with family and friends). Having the side-by-side cottages is more flexible than having one big house because our guests get to spend a lot of time with the family/friends they travel with and at the same time have privacy for when they want it, especially if the family/friends have different daily routines/schedules.

What makes this property unique

Everything. The cottage itself (books, games, movies, puzzles and more for all ages, which is great to have on sunny days or rainy days - no one is ever bored), the porch (we pretty much live on the porch when we're not at the pool or beach), the beautiful beach with gorgeous sunsets, the short walk to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach that have restauraunts, shops and more, as well as proximity to the Hub (2 miles), Seagrove (4 miles), and Seaside (6 miles).
