Easy access to the Gulf! Pirate Ship & Treehouse! Unlimited access to the beach. This spacious, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage is nestled in a grove of scrub oaks, on a bluff overlooking Eastern Lake. The Gulf of Mexico is about a 200 yard walk, due south. When you use the county access walkway, it leads you to over 350' of county owned public beach, surrounding the Eastern Lake Inlet, a gorgeous place for kids to play. You will have to wade across the Inlet, which is sometimes ankle deep, or sometimes thigh deep water, or you can use a completely "dry" public access about 75 yard west of there. We think the most enjoyable way to get to the beach is to paddle in one of the canoes and kayaks that we provide. The cottage is the bottom half of our home, and it features a Pirate Ship and a Treehouse for fun and amusement. Deer Lake State Park is less than 1 mile to the east. All of Scenic Highway 30-A is connected by a pedestrian bicycle and walking path. WaterSound, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach are within about 6 miles to the east. The Big Chill is a restaurant/ shopping hub about 2 miles east, and the town of Seaside is about 3 miles west. This house is located in a quiet, nice old Florida neighborhood south of 30-A on Eastern Lake, with restaurants, shops, golfing, and bike rentals nearby. There is limited parking. We must stress to you that we have a 7 PERSON MAXIMUM CAPACITY and have PARKING available for only ONE CAR. If you need additional bedrooms and parking spaces, we also offer a separate 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom rental home with a swimming pool, located right next door.

Right on Eastern Lake. Perfect location. Close to beach. House was perfect for our family of 4\. Kids loved the pirate ship (truly an awesome creation!). Hosts were on site but we never felt like our privacy was compromised. The dock on the lake was awesome. And all of the included equipment was a huge bonus.

The kids loved the pirate ship and treehouse! We loaded up the canoe to take our stuff to the beach each day. The beach area was ideal for small children where Eastern Lake meets the ocean. Our toddler loved playing in the shallow water there. The house itself was very relaxing and we enjoyed drinking coffee on the shady patio with views of the lake. It was like having a beach house and a lake house in one. Our kids are already asking when we can go back! ##### Natalie H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Austin J.

As said by other guests, the upstairs is occupied by the owner but that was never a problem. We used the numerous human propelled watercraft to get to the beach daily, but a short walk would’ve done the same. It’s a quaint little neighborhood and the property manager was very receptive to communication and outlined the stay perfectly. If you’re looking for seclusion and a good place to sit on a dock and have a cocktail or coffee this is your place. ##### Austin J. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michaela C.

Even though it was just the lower level, it was still very spacious and you didn’t feel cramped at all. The place was very clean and it offered everything we needed and more. Not having to bring boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas was nice. We really loved having the kayaks. It was nice to come up in the middle of the day or the evenings and use them. The kayaks and fishing off the dock kept my 13 year old very entertained when we just needed some downtime. I will say that the owners were on site. They were staying upstairs so there were some times when you could hear them walking around or talking. We never felt like our privacy was compromised. They answered questions when we had them, but didn’t impede on our space otherwise. We were really pleased with our stay! We really enjoyed bringing food back to the house and having breakfast and supper on the dock too. Sunrises were beautiful on the dock. ##### Michaela C.

Owners are always great host, unit is very clean and accommodating for all near by beach towns and activities. Paddle around the lake, paddle to the beach, walk or bike - take your pick or do all three! The beach is a short walk two public access. You can rent beach chair at Ramsgate access or this unit has great chairs that where easy to carrry with a great umbrella. All the beach town you would need too! Great places to eat near by....already miss the morning coffee sitting on the deck over looking the lake watching the sun rise - and the sun sets....Can't wait for a return trip very soon! ##### Patrick N.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how lovely our stay was at Garrett's place.The home has been improved even more since the pictures so it's even better than what is pictured, believe it or not! Our 3, 8 and 10 year old kiddos loved playing on the pirate ship and we loved the convenience of being able to load everyone on canoes and paddle ourselves to the beach each day. The home felt very private and comfortable - we had all we needed for a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to our next visit to this wonderful home!

The beds are comfortable and the roomy kitchen is well equipped. The updated master bath is beautiful! We enjoyed our stay. ##### Vickie D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristian T. Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was an excellent trip! We loved everything about the property. It was beautiful, serene, and VERY relaxing. The house was perfect for our family of 4\. We loved the lake view from the dock, kayaking back and forth to the beach, and playing board games around the table at night. We would have loved to stay another week!
