Why rent a house when you can rent a home?
Welcome to COTTAGE BY THE SEA, a thoughtfully designed Gulf-front retreat that feels less like a rental and more like the cozy, welcoming embrace of home. Nestled right on the beach in St. Joe Beach, this charming getaway offers stunning views of the Gulf and the soft, white sands just steps from your door. Without tall dunes blocking the view, you can sit on one of the breezy decks, a cup of coffee in hand, and watch the kids build sandcastles below.
This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has been lovingly crafted to ensure your family can relax, connect, and create memories to last a lifetime. The owners poured their hearts into every detail, blending modern amenities with personal touches that make this space truly one of a kind. The state-of-the-art Sonos ARC Sound System invites you to fill the house with your favorite music, while the curated shell garden, lovingly arranged, serves as a reflection of the beauty just outside your door.
Inside, the open concept living space is both functional and beautiful, designed to bring people together. The kitchen, with its granite countertops and white stainless appliances, feels like the heart of the home—a place where meals are prepared with love and laughter is shared around the unique dining table with its cozy bench seating. We know the little things matter, so each bedroom has been equipped with a flat-screen TV, so everyone can settle in at the end of the day and feel right at home.
For the worker bee in your family, the new AT&T 5G cell tower ensures blazing-fast connectivity, and the home is equipped with both Starlink and T-Mobile 5G as backup for the home -- so you can answer emails or join a video call with ease, all while looking out at the stunning Gulf views. And for those looking for a little friendly competition, the nearby park’s pickleball courts are just steps from your door.
Outside, the magic continues with a private pool (19 x 9, heat optional), perfect for a refreshing morning dip or an afternoon of laughter with the kids. The outdoor bar, complete with a fridge, sink, and a 65-inch TV, makes it easy to linger poolside long after the sun sets. The outdoor seating for 12 offers plenty of space for meals al fresco, under the soft glow of beachfront sunsets.
Adventure seekers will love the $300 gear rental credit that comes with your stay. Whether you dream of paddleboarding along the shore, kayaking in the bay, biking the area, or simply relaxing under an umbrella, your gear will be delivered right to your door. It’s seamless, just like everything else here.
