About this house rental

High Cotton Beach Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home for up to 8 guests on Scenic Highway 30A between Alys Beach and Camp Creek Lake, facing the Gulf of Mexico. It sits between two public beach accesses, each about 200 yards away (roughly a 4-minute walk), and has a 12 x 24 private pool.

Relax in the rocking chairs on the covered front porch and take in the Gulf view, or step out to the deck off the kitchen, which overlooks the pool. The top floor has a roomy den with a large TV, a dining area with a TV and a game table, a kitchen with a breakfast nook and a half bath. The kitchen is compact but fully equipped for cooking at home.

Stairs lead down from the kitchen deck to the pool. The pool area is fully fenced and has an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, and there's an enclosed play area under the deck with a sandbox and a swing.

All three bedrooms are on the lower floor. The Primary Bedroom has a king bed and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two queen bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Each bedroom has a TV, and the laundry area has a full-size front-loading stackable washer and dryer. A sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping space.

BEACH ACCESS
Public beach accesses are about 200 yards to the east and west of the cottage. The west access is the easiest to spot; look for the Beaches of South Walton signs at each boardwalk. A beach cart is provided for your gear.

LOCATION
Rosemary Beach is about 3 miles east, and Seagrove and Seaside are about 6 miles west. The 30A bike path runs right in front of the cottage, and there are several bike rental shops nearby. Lake Powell has a public boat ramp for waterskiing, jet skiing and fishing, and the area offers golf, tennis, fishing, windsurfing and paddleboarding.

This place is 10/10 for character, convenience, and coziness. I highly recommend this house if you like the old Florida beach house charm and don’t mind a quick walk to the beach. The private pool was perfect size for the entire family and a real game changer for our vacation. Loved, loved, loved our vacation at High Cotton.

Very convenient, close to the beach & having the private pool was great

The house itself was fine. The outside of the property needs work. Railing on back porch needs fixed. It is coming loose. We was afraid it would fall. Some of the boards on deck around the pool were loose and sticking up. This caused a trip hazard for some of us. The cleaning crew or the last renters did not sweep or clean the floors good. We found food crumbs and a lot of sand on arrival. Other than that it was a really nice place. We all enjoyed it. Made some happy memories.

Overall a cool property as far as flow, but was pretty run down and not very clean. The grounds around the house did not appear to have had any maintenance done to them in quite a while. A pressure washing and some coats of paint can go a long way. The stairs coming down from the back deck to the pool area had nail heads popping up in a quite a few places which is never fun when walking around barefoot. The outdoor shower really needs to be condemned, unless you like rotten wood and mold with your shower. Under the front decking by the main entry doors there are wasp nests. Unfortunately one of our guests was attacked by them and stung multiple times. The beach chairs provided were rusted out and defective. The supplied BBQ grill is on its last leg and was pretty nasty. On the inside, there are soft spots in the second level flooring which did not seem safe at all. For as much they charge to rent this place, I had higher hopes.
