Description

Tucked within the charming Old Florida Cottages community of Santa Rosa Beach, this welcoming coastal retreat offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and comfortable accommodations for up to 6 guests and a small dog—ideal for a relaxed beach escape with just the right balance of convenience and calm. Shaded by mature palm trees and framed by an inviting front porch, the home immediately sets a peaceful tone, with a quiet, low-traffic setting that feels removed from the bustle while still close to everything. Comfortable beds and a thoughtfully maintained interior ensure restful nights after sun-filled days.

A major highlight of this charming cottage is its exceptional location on the south side of Scenic Highway 30A, meaning there’s no need to cross 30A to access the beach. The shoreline is just an easy 4–5 minute walk away, leading you to sugar-white sand, lifeguard-monitored access, and nearby parking for added convenience. Scenic 30A is right at your doorstep, with the much-loved Goatfeathers Seafood Market & Oyster Bar just around the corner—perfect for picking up fresh Gulf seafood or enjoying a casual local favorite. The shops, restaurants, and lively events of Gulf Place Town Center are only half a mile away, ideal for biking or a relaxed evening stroll, while nearby bike rentals make it easy to explore miles of scenic paths and fully embrace the laid-back rhythm of 30A living.

Inside Redfish Cottage, the main living space feels bright, clean, and effortlessly coastal, anchored by a beautifully renovated kitchen that’s as functional as it is inviting. Soft blue cabinetry, updated appliances, and a generous island make meal prep a pleasure, whether you’re fixing a quick breakfast or lingering over dinner with family. The living room offers a relaxed gathering space with a queen sleeper sofa, while the upstairs layout provides welcome privacy—featuring a King Primary bedroom with its own balcony access and en-suite bath, along with a queen room with a full bath and balcony access. New flooring throughout the main living area and a well-stocked kitchen add to the home’s easy, comfortable feel.

Guests also enjoy access to the well-maintained Old Florida Cottages community pool, shaded lanai, and grilling area—ideal for relaxed afternoons, casual cookouts, or unwinding after a day outdoors. The friendly, low-traffic neighborhood adds to the peaceful atmosphere, making it easy to enjoy quiet mornings beneath the palms or easy evenings back at the cottage. With free WiFi and in-home laundry, the experience feels thoughtfully rounded and refreshingly effortless.

Great beach access for sunsets
Great location to the beach, short 4 minute walk to see the amazing sunsets. Having the pool right out behind the house was great as well. We walked to town in 10-12 minutes. Everything we wanted was within walking distance. The house was very comfortable for the 4 adults. We will definitly be coming back.

We LOVED the place!
We absolutely LOVED this place! The location was close enough to the beach for an easy walk there! We loved having our own place rather than staying in a condo. It was so nice to park in the driveway next to the house - made packing/unpacking a breeze! The home was cozy and our favorite place we’ve ever stayed!
Lacie Z from Indianapolis, IN - Stayed August 2026
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled that Redfish Cottage was your favorite place you’ve ever stayed!

Perfect stay!
Absolutely blown away by Red Fish Cottage. The proximity to the beach was so much closer than I expected but the neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet. This was my third time staying in 30A and my favorite yet. Even though it was my shortest 30A trip, Red Fish cottage made this such a special stay. Aside from the charming design, convenient location, and all the amenities, when I accidentally locked the bathroom door, Ocean Reef hand someone over in less than 10 minutes to help me. 11/10 stay and I will be coming back!
Simon S from Clarksville, TN - Stayed May 2026

You can't beat the location of the house
Just a short 3-4 mins walk to the beach and 12-15 mins walk to the restaurants. As a family of 5 3 adults and 2 kids, we enjoyed our vacation. Will definitely book in the future.
