Beautifully situated in a shady grove of coastal greenery, this cozy cottage in Santa Rosa Beach is the perfect place to get away from it all. This comfortable home offers plenty of privacy, a full kitchen, and a shaded patio where you can put your feet up after a day spent on the beach. The expansive outdoor space offers ample seating, a private grill, and even an outdoor shower to cool you off from the Florida sunshine.

What's nearby:
This home sits just north of Scenic Highway 30A, only half a mile from the nearest beach access point. You can walk down to the incredible white sand each morning to play volleyball, sunbathe, or spend the day shore fishing. You'll also be three miles west of Grayton Beach State Park, a beautiful setting for hiking, picnicking, fishing, and wildlife viewing, and three miles east of Gulf Place Town Center, which is home to such area favorites as Pizza By The Sea and YOLO Board + Bike.

Private escape-near everything!
I loved staying in this home. Walkable to many great restaurants and the beach! I didn’t realize the home was behind a house, but it actually made this house feel more secluded. Enjoyed the patio and outdoor shower, would absolutely stay here again!

Sunshine Cottage Review
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunshine Cottage! Everything was clean and well maintained. A very close walk to the beach. Close to Blue Mountain Creamery as well! We especially loved the outdoor shower. It was used once or twice daily by one of us!! I would definitely stay again at Sunshine Cottage!!

Very nice
Very nice cottage in a pretty neighborhood. The cottage is tucked back behind another house so it took a minute longer to find it. The only issue we experienced was there were several beetle looking bugs in the house during our stay. Just needs a good pest spraying. Would stay there again.

Close to beach and ice cream. Horrible wifi (did not work and server did not show up most of the time). place needs a deep clean and major updating. queen bedroom bed was uncomfortable (king bed was good). this place is only good for a small family that does not mind being extremely close. outside shower was nice!

Honeymoon
There was major construction that started every day around 7:00a.m., nextdoor on both sides. The listing said small walk to the beach. It's literally half a mile away and NOT close to the public beach which is only about 25 yards wide between the private resort beaches. The A/C was great in the house. King bed was comfy, but the Queen bed was like a hammock and not comfy. Best to have a rental car to get around too.

Location is close to everything, the beach or Blue Mountain Creamery were a short walk. Although we stayed at this house years ago, it was just as quaint as we remembered. Perfect for 2 couples and 2 teenagers!

Charming cottage and perfect location
We enjoyed our stay at Sunshine Cottage. The cottage is set in a relaxing area off the street. Everything was as described and Mr Mason (the owner) was very nice and helpful. It was perfect for our girl's trip weekend. You can't beat the location. A short walk to 30a restaurants/shops and the beach. Would definitely recommend and look to stay when we are in the area again.

House has everything you need!
This is our second year booking this charming cottage! The house stays cool, we love the outdoor shower, my kids slept well, and it has everything you need to make you feel at home. We brought freezer meals and shopped for groceries when we got there to make the food costs a little lower. The grill worked great, as well as the appliances in the home. The cottage is within walking distance from the beach. Love the outdoor patio, and the owners are delightful. We love this little home!!

Quirky and cute
Property clean, beautiful yard, great location and short walk to the beach. Had trouble with air conditioning units too warm in the house and awkward bedroom arrangements. Kitchen could use a modern toaster, hand mixer and updated pans/more baking dishes. Overall very pleased and would stay again.

The adorable little cottage, hidden in the lavish garden. It has a lot of character and personal touch. Thank you, Brick and Sunshine! You are wonderful hosts!🙏. The cottage is close to everything: gorgeous white sand beach, good restaurants, grocery store, amazing biking trail along 30A. We took a few bike trips to the beautiful little town of Seaside, which we highly recommend to visit. Overall, great sea vacation, and we hope to come back for more.

Adorable little place! Well cared for and great location!
Just as the listing describes- it's a charming cottage in a great location in Blue Mountain Beach! Precious little old house! We weren't looking for luxury- just a nice place to stay near our favorite 30a spots, and this cottage fits that bill. The outdoor shower was an excellent plus that we used each day, and the full size washer and dryer came in handy! Rooms were cozy and the yard is adorable; it reminded us of grandma's house with similar touches in terms of decor and the gardening. The owners have a little binder they leave for guests with important tips, and the kitchen is well stocked with all the basic silverware, utensils, and cooking items one might need, plus a bunch of really thoughtful extras! We just loved the precious little place and would definitely recommend it to friends. Unfortunately there were some wet used towels that hadn't been picked up when we checked in, and they must not have cleaned out the shower and a few other things after the tenants before us, so we couldn't give the cleaning service 5 stars. I think it's also important to note because we definitely couldn't tell this from the listing, that this property is like an add on in the backyard of another larger building, with a shared driveway and a walk to the cottage behind the larger house. This didn't bother us at all- just wasn't something that was made clear until we arrived, so if that's important to folks we wanted to mention it. Also, in terms of the beach- anyone who has stayed on 30a knows about the beautiful sand and water here. It was incredible! I have to say that we are typically spoiled by the nice space you get on the beach in Grayton and Seaside; this was our first time at the Blue Mountain entrance (Oct. fall break) and wow- tents and umbrellas were shoulder to shoulder 4 rows deep. It felt more like the crowds of Destin in the summer!
