Lovely Beach Getaway ~ Steps To The Beach ~ The Perfect Family Escape!

This quaint summer cottage is located across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. We prefer to rent weekly, from either Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday but will consider shorter stays. The interior is casual Mediterranean style. The cottage is two stories above pilings with an enclosed garage below.

The first floor is a spacious living room with an adjoining dining area and convenient kitchen. The master bedroom and bath is tucked away on the first floor. Take the spiral staircase up to the wrought iron railed cat walk where two additional bedrooms are
located. The bedrooms upstairs have a bathroom in between them. Both bathrooms have large, tiled walk-in showers. One full-sized air mattress is also available. All counter tops (kitchen & bath) are granite.

The upstairs bedrooms have large balconies and the master bedroom steps out onto the main deck that surrounds the house. The large back deck(40'x20')has a seating area. There is also a large outdoor shower with hot/cold water and a dressing bench located downstairs between the garage and back stairs.

If your group is larger and you need more space, you can also rent my adjacent vacation rental at Vrbo # 4087419. Bring the whole family and rent both houses!

Recently updated beach house was perfect for our family

We really enjoyed our stay here. Proximity to the beach was close enough for our 3 year old to walk each day with us. The owner keeps a lot of beach toys in the garage that we had fun playing with.

We had a great time! Not a bad walk to the beach, close enough to the shops and restaurants to drive but not right in the middle of it all. There were not enough beach chairs so Richard went and bought brand new ones for us. Great host!

Perfect Fit

We absolutely loved our stay at Richard’s Beach House. It had everything we needed and accommodated for five guests perfectly. One of my favorite parts about this beach house was the outdoor shower, I never took a shower inside! Richard was a wonderful host and we cannot wait to be back!

Wonderful Location

This house was perfect. The owner, Richard, met us on arrival and gave us a tour. He was readily available if we needed anything throughout our stay. The property was very clean and in a perfect location. Access to the beach was about a 2 minute walk, and we were close to attractions and restaurants. The house was fully stocked with kitchen equipment. We will definitely want to stay here on our next visit!
