Description

This charming Caribbean styled townhome in Seacrest Beach has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. It's located on Scenic 30A in South Walton, directly across from convenient access to the beach (only 50-yards away) and just steps from the Arcadia community pool.  A stately white-columned veranda overlooks a lush lawn bordered by tropical palms, live oaks, and magnolias inviting you to come out to relish the serene gulf breeze.

This gracious gulf view vacation home can accommodate up to eight happy beach-going guests. Sea Turtle Cottage has been wonderfully updated and comfortably furnished.  The natural light and décor completed with coastal accents put you in beach-vacation-mode as soon as you enter. The Master Bedroom with an en-suite bath and a kid's Bunk Room with two twin bunks are on the first floor. The Master Suite has double access to the lovely veranda, a smart TV, and a king-sized bed. It sits below a large seahorse wall sculpture while a decorative floating mermaid flies by on the wall, providing a whimsical touch. The nautically attired private bath includes a black marble topped vanity sink, tub, and shower. The Bunk Room has access to a full hall bath, double white bunks and a TV beside a fun wall painting of a Sea Turtle!

The second floor welcomes you with a charming open living area, decorated with tropical flair. Glowing honey-toned hardwood floors flow throughout. French doors provide light and open onto the railed front porch balcony inviting you to come out to relax while sipping upon your favorite fruity drinks. A sand-color couch that converts to a queen sleeper sofa faces a  Smart TV for entertainment and is flanked by two richly woven armchairs near the balcony. Tropical flourishes include woven baskets, a rustic antique side table, and a woven trunk. A reclaimed teak hardwood dining table has eight honey wicker chairs with comfortable cushions beside an open chef's kitchen. This features a lightly mottled creamy tan granite counter topped island with three saddle bar seats and stainless steel appliances. You may be inspired to get everyone together to create a fun family feast. Another Guest Bedroom on this level has a king sized bed with a tropical headboard and direct access to a hall bath that doubles as a powder room.

Beautiful place!
We loved our stay at Sea Turtle Cottage! It is such a beautiful place. The area is perfect! We enjoyed the short drive to The Hub, Seaside, Rosemary and Alys beach to eat while we were there. The kitchen is open to the living room which was perfect for our stay. There’s a large table for everyone to eat and play games at. The bedroom and bathroom set up was perfect for our family. This place was very clean and it’s clear the owners take great pride in their place. Beach access is right across the street. The view of the ocean as you walk down to the beach is absolutely stunning. We cannot wait to go back!

Great stay!
Took a girls trip in February, Sea Turtle Cottage was perfect. Nicely decorated, very clean and close to the beach. Beach was maybe a minute walk, easy to head back for snacks or bathroom breaks. Also loved that the townhome was well equipped, had everything we needed. All the linens were crisp, white and clean. It's a smaller community which is fantastic. The pool was quiet and right out your back door. Parking was convenient as well. Had a great trip! We will definitely go back.

FAQs

We welcome all of your questions! Most property-specific details can be answered in the AMENITIES tab, for example, "Is beach service included?", "Is there a community pool?" and "How far is the beach?". Additional answers may be found in our Rental Policies.

Still have unanswered questions? We invite you to ask below. Our vacation specialists look forward to providing you with a detailed response to help you find the best place by the beach!

How far is this house from beach access?
Melodie O - Posted: 02/07/2022

Answer:

Sea Turtle Cottage is located in the Arcadia neighborhood, which utilizes a private beach access across from Patina Blvd. The access is only one minute away on foot. For a change of scenery, you may also use the public beach access to the west across from Seabreeze Trail. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Does Sea Turtle Cottage provide any bikes?
Todd C - Posted: 03/23/2022

Answer:

Sea Turtle Cottage does not include complimentary bikes, but not to worry! As an Ocean Reef guest, you have exclusive access to discounted bike rentals through our Reef Rewards program!

Is the beach private or public? Can you rent beach chairs?
Beth G - Posted: 04/26/2022

Answer:

Sea Turtle Cottage utilizes a private neighborhood beach access less than a one-minute walk away. Beach chair and umbrella rentals are most certainly available. Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. You can reserve chairs and umbrellas over the phone, or directly on the sand. See you soon!

Is the pool heated?
Caitlin G - Posted: 10/09/2022

Answer:

The Arcadia neighborhood in Seacrest Beach offers residents a refreshing community pool, but it is not heated. Please call us if a heated pool is a must for your 30A vacation. We'd love to help!

Are pets allowed?
Nelly D - Posted: 04/20/2023

Answer:

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Sea Turtle Cottage is not a pet-friendly property.  If you are unable to board your pup, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.
