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.
