Cottage holiday rentals in Santa Rosa Island

Returning to our favorite Airbnb beach cottage was just as magical as our first visit. The cozy interior, the yard feel, and easy access to the beach make it a perfect getaway. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail is just right. We love the serene atmosphere and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

Couldn’t recommend booking at Lisa’s place more. 10/10. Lisa was so friendly and hospitable. She went above and beyond for our family to ensure we were comfortable and well informed of all the resort amenities and entertainment/ dining around the surrounding area. Lisa was very prompt with n answering my questions and she was very accommodating. Everything about our stay was wonderful and we look forward to booking with Lisa again!

Daddio’s Cottage was a great place for our family to vacation. The location was amazing, and the porch was perfect! The proximity to the pool and beach was incredible, and it was so peaceful in the community. We were so appreciative of the amenities, including beach chairs on site and a very well stocked kitchen. There were a few minor cleanliness issues that we discussed with the concierge, including stained sheets and someone else’s mouth retainers on the living room floor, as well as large amounts of dust and sand throughout, but overall this was not a deterrent and we’d recommend this cottage in the future. Sydnee was incredibly responsive and helpful during our planning, and we are also so appreciative of that. We have great memories from our week on 30a!

Courtney's place was just perfect for my daughter's Senior Trip! The house was so cute and plenty big for all of us to spread out and relax. The bikes were perfect for the girls to go to and from the beach. It was also very walkable to the beach if you prefer to walk instead. Courtney was very responsive and so helpful, we would stay here again in a heart!

This has been my favorite place to stay so far. It was so clean and very beautiful. The walk to the beach is short and easy. We had an amazing time. The path to the pool and back patio is a vibe!

The cottage was perfect. It was spotless clean when we arrived. Jason was super fast in responding. The location couldn’t have been better. The private access white powder beach was beautiful. The bicycles were a nice touch as we rode them to Aly’s Beach. We didn’t leave without enjoying the pool also. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Loved the place! It was peaceful and quiet literally across the street from the beautiful Bay. Was very homey, able to cook, wash clothes, had smart tv, and internet and all the appliances you would have at home. Marianne is very responsive and was always available. Even saw the neighbors gorgeous peacock 🦚 Cool little spot!

Perfect place for an extended stay. Literally everything you could need within a 3-5 min drive. Kids had a blast at pool and the adults took full advantage of the $4 beer and $6 daiquiris at the Purple Parrot bar adjacent to the pool(which also has fantastic live music in the evening). The location is so close to the beach it's easy to go multiple times a day. There are lots of restaurants and beach shops to pass the time... all just a fun drive down road that runs along the beach. It did rain one of the days of our stay and we found tons of games in the living room cabinet to play. The house is very well stocked and has super comfortable beds. Plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Plenty of extra towels. Everything is very clean and the are appliances are nice. This property really is a fantastic place to stay.

Cyndi was so thoughtful with a note and snack as soon as we got there. Her place is so clean and well thought out. Everything was perfect! It was a great stay and will recommend over and over

Carol was a phenomenal host- super kind and responsive - she took care of an issue with a charge from AirBnB super fast! The house was amazing- even cool (great ac! Many places we stay are never cool!)). Everything was super clean and looked great which I’m sure can be challenging when pet friendly! Obviously it’s not super close to the beach so be prepared to rent a golf cart or extra bikes if needed. Bc parking is so difficult at the beach, one person would drop everyone off and then go back to the house and ride one of the bikes back to the beach. It was so nice to have two bikes included as well!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage, everything that is posted is accurate to include images. We have been coming to Pensacola Florida for years and usually stayed at the hotels so this was the first experience we had using Airbnb and due to Ella’s hospitality we will continue to use Airbnb when we travel. Ella was very responsive when I had questions. As new empty nesters our 2 dogs are like our children and it was amazing to bring them with us to share this experience. This couldn’t have happened without the opportunity Ella provided us to bring our pets. All in all this was an amazing experience, I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage and Ella if you are looking for the opportunity to enjoy Pensacola Beach.

Overall this was one of the best places we’ve stayed at. So much provided you only needed food. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

The house is wonderful! The beds are very nice, kitchen is well stocked with appliances, a nice office area, and the location is close to many things in the city!

Amy was such a hospitable and responsive host. This place felt like home. It was in a perfect location; within walking distance to restaurants, shops, the pool, the beach, while also feeling private and very safe. A drive away you can find Destin and Panama City beach which are full of any activity you can think of; but rosemary keeps you nestled in a private elegant little town. We will 100% be back!

My husband and I enjoyed our month long stay at Maravilla (March 2025). We had a condo (building 1) last year and chose the cottage this year….more privacy, less noise. We had several guests throughout the month and there was plenty of room/space for all. Beautiful kitchen for cooking our meals. Large table to accommodate our guests. Enjoyed time on the back patio as well. Easy walk to pool, pickleball courts and beach. Beach umbrellas and chairs, which are included, are great. Bernadette was quick to respond if we had any concerns or questions throughout our stay. Thank you Bernadette for renting your cottage to us. We’ll be back because we love this area of Florida.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay here! It was perfect and super equipped with everything you need for a long weekend at the beach. I loved that beach chairs and beach umbrellas were provided. The best part was the covered patio and nice sized back yard for my dog. She also loved it! The place is super cozy and makes you feel right at home. Will definitely book again if I am in the area!

Elise was super friendly and nice! It was very kept and clean. Very welcoming and had everything we needed. We really liked the enclosed driveway/parking area and the patio area.

We are really happy we found Chrys and Jimmy, their neighborhood, the guesthouse, and Niceville. We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more comfortable place. They wanted us to have a great experience and we sure did. Thank you!

John and Paty’s beach home was snuggled in a little forest off a main road leading straight to the beach! My husband and I walked from this adorable beach house to many delicious restaurants in the area as well as to the beach during our stay. I additionally loved how cozy and clean they kept their home. We would definitely rent from them again!

This was a great AirBNB experience. The unit was very nice, had designated parking, and the host and co-hosts were very communicative. There was a little hiccup with parking at onset, but was quickly resolved - a small confusion due to some changes occurring at the property, but as soon as we messaged about it, we got a quick response and resolution. The space was petite, but more than adequate for a quick getaway, and we even had space to set up a fenced playpen for the dogs in the living area so that they didn’t have to be crated when we were away. The parking is very close to the door for easy packing and unpacking. The yard is fenced and separated from other renters, and has a little green space so the dogs had space of their own. Also, Dan was incredibly friendly, gave lots of recommendations, and even gave us some treats for our dogs. Beautiful Florida beaches are a short 15 minute (or less) drive and downtown is about a mile. Great experience.

This is our second time staying in the cottage, and we LOVED it again! My dogs and I walked in, and we felt right at home again this time. Everything was pristine, and it looks like I literally just shut down my own vacation home for a couple months and then came back. It has become my home away from home in Pensacola! In fact, I will reschedule a trip if Susan’s place is not available. That’s how much I love it! This cottage is SO well taken care of, and everything is extremely clean. Susan is incredibly helpful and friendly, and she is always responsive if needed. I’ll be staying again at least two more times this year with my dogs, and we truly can’t wait! Thank you, Susan, for another amazing experience! You really are the best!

Place was nice and clean and comfortable

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was comfortable, clean, and cute. Navarre was beautiful. Mike and Shari’s place was convenient to the beach and restaurants. Mike and Shari were fantastic hosts. They were responsive and so friendly. All in all I would recommend their home any day of the week.

This place was amazing! They had so many amenities to make trips more enjoyable. They accommodated a last minute booking and even turned the heat on so it would be nice and toasty when we arrived.
