About this house rental
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. You can view it at VRBO #721289

We had such a nice, quiet week at Of Days Gone By. We've stayed at several other places along 30A, but this one was unique, with lots of great personal touches, including a great outdoor area. We were there the week after Christmas and enjoyed the holiday decor and lighting that was still up. We loved using the kayaks on Eastern Lake and when the weather was warm enough, I sat on top of the pirate ship to enjoy the view and read a book. We would have loved to stay on through the winter!

I added lots of photos that show parts of this awesome VRBO! This was our second time to stay here and won’t be our last! We really love being on the lake but still just a hundred yards or so to the beach! Owners are very friendly and you never even know they are there!

We absolutely loved our stay, the property is so uniquely decorated and truly keeps the old Florida style alive. We loved the natural feel of the back yard and the preservation of the original landscape. The our 8 year old loved the pirate ship and the whole family enjoyed the kayaks/canoes on the lake and swimming in the lake. it was perfect for post beach relaxing and floating. the interior is very well decorated and the perfect size for a family of 5-7. We will definitely be looking to bring our family back to Days Gone By.

Lovely cottage with amazing view and use of Eastern Lake with very brief walk to beach access. The beds are comfortable and the roomy kitchen is well equipped. The updated master bath is beautiful! We enjoyed our stay.
