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.

    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! Thank you for a wonderful visit!

    We really enjoyed our stay here! 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.

    Best of both worlds with lakefront property and quick access to the beach! The pirate ship and treehouse were amazing and a hit with the kids. We loved kayaking the lake and canoeing to the beach. Quick walk to an ice cream shop and a great outdoor restaurant too.

    This property was beautiful and quiet! We are a family of four and we had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. This area was quiet, which we loved! It was also an easy walk to the beach but be prepared to cross a thigh high inlet to get there! My son fished off the dock the entire time we were there! Overall, a great family vacation!

    Really cool house. 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. Great kayaks, a canoe and beach gear available to use. This is a really great place to stay.

    Always a great stay in this Eastern Lakefront property. 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!

    This house was perfect for our family of four (kids aged 2 and 8). 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!

    We had a great time at this house! It was since and shaded and offered a beautiful view of the inlet lake. Our boys loved the pirate ship and tree house! It was easy and fun to kayak to the beach. We were walking distance from a great ice cream shop and a couple of awesome restaurants. Thank you Garrett and Nina for a great place to stay!
