Discounts Oct-Dec*Designers Cottage*Private Beach*

BRAND NEW ON OUR RENTAL PROGRAM WITH A OPEN CALENDAR BOOK NOW!!

Professionally managed by Frangista Beach Properties. All reservations will be required to sign a Rental Agreement directly with Frangista Beach Properties within 48 hours of receipt.

Luxury High End total Renovation-200 yds to beach- Pet Friendly

“As Good As It Gets" A perfect '10' includes a new high end luxury kitchen and new master bathroom. Everything is freshly painted and beautiful new driftwood tile floors. This is a luxury stay! The property features a front covered porch, rear screened porch, and a lushly landscaped yard with a picket fence with lavish pool right out back. Very clean! Beach service (Chairs and umbrella) for 2 included!

NO GOLF CART REQUIRED - 2 min walk to beach! Restaurants nearby for short walk!

A VERY short walk to private uncrowded Frangista beach (4 minutes and your toes are in the famous Emerald Waters) with the uncrowded neighborhood pool directly behind home. You can sit on screened porch and watch the kids swim in the luxurious large pool. This charming cottage has 11 ft ceilings and all driftwood tile floors (no carpet). The owner is an interior/kitchen and bath designer and has left nothing unattended - you will be pleasantly surprised by the tasteful vintage decor. Colors are soft and relaxing and no detail has been overlooked including high quality bedding. You will be charmed by the iron beds, cotton quilts and vintage linen fabrics. There is a large LCD TV with surround sound in the gathering room and 3 flat screens in bedrooms as well as DVD in living room. There is a luxury king bed in the master (guests rave), a king in bedroom 2 and queen in the other bedroom. There is also a queen sleeper sofa (new in 2019) and a queen air mattress with integrated air inflation.

You will feel as if you are staying at a Five Star Luxury Bed and Breakfast. The master suite, named La Jardin Suite (the garden suite) has soft pistachio green walls, hydrangea wreath, garden statuary, wrought iron accents, and beautiful art and accessories. It is refreshing and relaxing and perfect in every detail. The secondary suite, named La Petite Suite, is decorated with a Country French cotton quilt and bedding, black iron bed and black distressed furnishings. Beautiful original oils and limited edition prints complete the pleasing ambience of this room.

The kitchen is fully equipped so if you prefer to donning your apron instead of waiting in line at a restaurant, everything you need is there including stainless appliances, a new LG induction range, a new Bosch dishwasher, Bosch side by side fridge with ice and water in the door and and refrigerated filtered water at the sink.

The gathering room is something out of a magazine with it's slip-covered furniture, original oils and vintage touches. The large oval table in a distressed red finish will seat 3-4 plus 5 at the kitchen island.

The walk to the beach is about 200 yards (very very short). Your toes will touch the beautiful white sands of the Gulf in minutes. You cross Scenic 98 which is not busy. It also has speed bumps all along the road and at the private beach access. We are confident if you stay once, you will return, making 'As Good As It Gets' your Florida beach tradition.

Complimentary beach service (two beach chairs and one umbrella) is provided March 1st through November 30th. Guests can bring their own chairs/umbrellas or use the additional beach chairs & umbrellas that are provided in the home. No tents or canopies allowed per HOA.

Spring break trip

My family and I stayed here for our Spring Break trip and had the best time. The house was perfect for 4 of us - being right behind the pool was extremely convenient because my kids love to swim. Pool was heated which was great for March. Super close to the beach, which was also beautiful. House was fully stocked with everything we needed

This was the most favorite place we have ever rented in Florida. The location and house was absolutely beautiful. A safe place to have our pets and so close to the beach and pool. Can't wait to return. Felt so much like home.

Totally Fabulous Luxury Stay!

This is my favorite beach place I have ever stayed. Wow! Beautiful decor, comfortable beds, very clean, kitchen is fully equipped and has top of the line appliances. Very close walk to beach and the pool is almost in the back yard. I will definitely be coming back often! Beach Luxury Vacations provided great service. This is a luxury stay.

We loved this place!

From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. The cottage is very clean and provides all you need for your beach vacation. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk to the beautiful private beach. Barbara named her beach home perfectly, "As Good as it Gets" offers a great home away from home vacation!

It Really IS As Good As It Gets!!!

This cozy and beautifully decorated beach house has everything you need for a perfect beach vacation! We slept great in the cozy beds and enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen. The owner seriously thought of EVERYTHING to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Just a quick walk and you’re at the beach or the community pool is right behind the house. This is the best VRBO property we have ever stayed in! We will definitely be back!

Holiday Getaway

Me, husband, newborn, and our two small pups wanted a nice quiet getaway after Christmas. House was perfect space for dogs to be able to go out safely and enjoy. The screened in porch was also nice! Clean and welcoming house! Great location for nice walks for coffee and checking out the beach. Short walk to beach access, too! Would love to come back!

The home is beautiful and...

The home is beautiful and very welcoming. We enjoyed staying here more than any other place we have stayed, bar none. It is very well situated, close to everything and steps from the beach. The only problem was we didn't get to stay long enough. We definitely plan to stay here again. It very much lives up to its' name; "As Good As It Gets".

Super Cute Cottage

This cottage is super cute and we very much enjoyed our stay! Very nicely decorated and comfortable. Quick walk to the beach. My friend and I enjoyed sitting on the screened porch in the event with a glass of wine. So pleased to be able to bring our pup. She really enjoyed the yard. Highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!

The home was well maintained and the inside was decorated so cute. We enjoyed having the community pool in our backyard and the beach so close by. There was a coffee shop, store and eating places within walking distance. Barbara was very helpful when we had questions. We enjoyed our week very much and hope to go back. We highly recommend this precious cottage.

This place is more beautiful in person than in the pictures! It's very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished with anything you may need.

Great house and location!

We loved our stay! Beautiful house and a great location. Beach service was such a great addition. Everyday our chairs were right near the Hollywood beach access point. Suggest bringing some of your own pillows/blankets and communicating with the owner about your specific needs in the kitchen. Just a few items we wish we had brought with us.
