About this cottage rental
Some time in the late twenties, early thirties a sea captain built a one-room beach house two and a half blocks from the ocean. It resembled the inside of a ship’s cabin with a pull down bed, built-in shelves and cabinets to maximize space. The exterior structure still stands and is the main living space of this original Florida beach cottage, now expanded to include a kitchen and dining room and large master bedroom with spacious bath. 900 square feet in all and creatively renovated, The Beach House as we call it, lies only two and a half blocks from the beach and sports a comfortable back patio, brick wood grill and portable gas grill, and bike shed. The impression is one of ease and efficiency. Everything has its place and there is a place for everything. Even better, all utilities, subscription television channels and high speed streaming quality internet are all included in the price.
The interior walls are shiplap boards and in the bedroom, the boards run up the wall and along the ceiling, accentuating the cottage feel. Exterior hardy board give the cottage an old-world feel, especially with the white-railed porch in front. Tastefully decorated and landscaped, this house calls to your simpler nature when you might shower outside after the beach and dry in a lawn chair. In the mornings when the day is still cool and the birds are singing, I sit in the Adirondack chair on the front porch and work on my laptop. Life is too good.
Fully up to date with modern necessities like WiFi, Amazon firestick (just say "Alexa"), flat screen wall mounted TV, brand new microwave, dishwasher, dual fuel range and refrigerator, front loading washer/dryer, it has all that you need to feel comfortable with none of the stresses of busy streets and noisy neighbors. Take a bike ride (bikes provided) to Jax Beach Pier, walk into the Beaches Town Center (only seven blocks away) for dinner or frozen yogurt, or buzz over the Intercoastal Waterway and pick up a gourmet dinner from Fresh Market. Walk to the beach, have wine in the back yard, grill out burgers and roast vegetables, all this and more and yet life stays simple. We hope you will enjoy the Salt Life as much as we do.
Atlantic beach ordinance requires a THREE MONTH MINIMUM RENTAL and have personally contacted me about this. Also, it is important to know that PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED and this is non-negotiable. My family vacations in this house during the open months and we have extreme allergies. I am thrilled to share my home and invite you to consider it your own, treating as such.
Housekeeping at the end of your stay, all of the utilities, and yard service is included in the rent.

I felt instantly at home in this cozy cottage, where "old" means historic and one-of-a-kind. Small and snug and well-appointed. Solitude when I wanted to write (my profession), plus wide lovely beach and lively town w/in walking distance with varied restaurant/shopping choices for
meeting friends and socializing.
My time there went too fast! I would definitely go back to this gem of a home-away-from-home.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2015
This sweet little cottage is well maintained and loved. Cozy bedroom, great bathroom and storage, wonderful kitchen space. The yard is lush and relaxing. Nestled in the heart of charming Old Atlantic Beach, the area is peaceful and relaxing. But also close enough to bike to restaurants, grocery store, boutiques, and more. Wonderful neighborhood to walk/run/bike around. In walking distance to a quiet part of the beach. This place is heavenly! We stayed here for 9 months and were so sad to leave! We miss it very often and have so many fond memories. Dorothy is such a gem of a lady. She was always very kind, accommodating, and quick to help. This cottage is truely the best of all worlds.
