The Good Life - 85+ Top Ratings, Big Pool, Porch, 5 Min Walk to Beach, 4 Bikes
Welcome to your happy place - The Good Life Cottage in Seacrest Beach! Our goal is to help families and friends relax and make memories to last a lifetime - all at an affordable price.
Why Guests Love The Good Life Cottage
Location, Location, Location! The Good Life is located at The Cottages at Camp Creek, a charming and peaceful coastal community filled with classic metal roofs and wide front porches surrounded by shady sand oaks and palmetto along Scenic 30A, We're pleased that Travel + Leisure Magazine announced that VRBO named scenic 30A the “Best U.S. Beach Town” for 2025, "thanks to its turquoise waters, sugar-white sand, and charming coastal communities." Just cross the street from the community, you’ll find the Timpoochee Trail—a 17-mile paved path perfect for biking, walking, or jogging. You'll find plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and the iconic communities of Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach (both have play yards) conveniently located within walking distance. To help you explore the local area, we provide four professionally maintained bikes with your cottage rental.
Steps to fun: Less than a 1-minute walk to the big (7500 square feet) community pool and just a 5-minute stroll to our private deeded beach access that leads to a Blue Wave Certified Beach (which means it is recognized for its cleanliness, responsible management, and commitment to protecting human health and the environment), known for dunes, white sand, and emerald water where you can relax and set up your beach gear (we provide beach chairs, beach toys, a wheeled cooler, and a large beach wagon for toting your beach stuff). No need to worry about waiting for shuttles or looking for (or paying for) parking spaces when you're heading to the beach. Watch Mother Nature's unique sunset shows in the evenings, and keep a look out for dolphins swimming by in the mornings and sunset.
Family-friendly comfort: Spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath, single-level freshly renovated cottage with coastal charm and modern conveniences. Because the Good Life is one of the larger one-story 3-bedroom cottages, it comfortably fits up to 7 people. Our guests appreciate that our small gem of a community, as well as the deeded beach access, stay peaceful even during peak seasons. Bonus: The Good Life cottage is one of the closest to the beach when you want to slip away for your sunrise walks and sunset strolls.
Relax & Recharge
Unwind on the large covered porch surrounded by shady native sea oak trees and palmettos. Furnished like an outdoor room with a glider love seat, matching wicker chairs, and dining table, the porch is perfect for dining al fresco, sipping morning coffee, or playing games on a rainy afternoon - rain or shine. The new quiet and breezy ceiling fans will keep you comfortable on the hottest days.
Inside, enjoy the freshly renovated living space with plenty of windows and natural light (as well as blinds when you want privacy), hardwood floors, comfy seating, and a large smart TV for streaming.
The newly renovated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with modern natural wood cabinets, plenty of storage, and quartz countertops. Fully stocked with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, plenty of dishware, glassware, and cookware, and everything from a crockpot to a waffle maker, so you’ll have everything you need for cooking for two to twelve people.
Each bedroom is designed for comfort with fresh linens, blackout curtains for a good night's sleep or afternoon nap, and TVs set up for streaming. For your peace of mind, we use a professional laundry service to ensure that linens are laundered according to professional-grade, CDC-approved standards. The bed linen program aims to provide guests with a consistently clean and sanitary bedding experience.
The three bedrooms and bathrooms are laid out as follows:
Bedroom with king bed and private full bath Bedroom with queen bed + twin bed Bedroom with two twin beds (that you can put together to convert to king) Second full bath next to the queen and twin bedrooms
Thoughtful Touches
We’ve added details that make your vacation easier—ceiling fans and TVs in living room and all bedrooms, plenty of wall hooks and renovated closets with ample storage space for keeping everything organized and stress-free, hampers, full-size washer and dryer, puzzles, books, games, and even a private gas grill.

“The pressing order of each day was whether to go to the pool or beach before lunch. We tossed our laptops in the closet the moment we unpacked and never looked back! Much more fun to do puzzles and relax on the porch. We’ll definitely return and tell our friends.”
"This was the perfect location for our family! It was so easy to hop between the house, beach and pool. House had great beach toys, lots of books and puzzles. Would definitely recommend this spot to families with young children. Owner and property management company were super responsive and communicative."
"Perfect cottage. Our group of 7, including two seniors & three children, loved this cottage. It is a charming cottage with the perfect layout and had everything we needed. We loved the location - it is steps away from a very nice pool. We also loved sitting on the porch with coffee every morning and returning from the beach to the porch to hose off our things and unwind there. The kids loved the trees out back and watching squirrels and “exploring”. The walk to the beach was literally a few easy minutes walk, and we loved that we could easily bike or walk to Alys and Rosemary! Honestly, we can’t find a negative thing to say about our experience and we are so glad to have found this place for future trips."

This was the perfect location for our family! It was so easy to hop between the house, beach and pool. House had great beach toys, lots of books and puzzles. Would definitely recommend this spot to families with young children. Owner and property management company were super responsive and communicative.
We had an amazing stay at The Good Life! A short walk to the beach. Right down the street from Alys and Rosemary. The weather was perfect! We would highly recommend this spot to anyone and everyone.
Property was exactly as described with great amenities and easy access to the beach. Community pool was a great plus. Couldn't have asked for better location.
My family enjoyed our stay. It was a nice quiet location with close proximity to the beach and the pool and hot tub were always quiet too. Close to the grocery so we mostly cooked in the well supplied kitchen in between walks to the beach and back to the pool.
Awesome getaway. Great house with plenty of space in a perfect location. Looks even better in person. And the beach access is super close and easy to find! No complaints at all.
We loved this house. Great location, near beach but away from crowds. Loved biking in all directions. House is in great shape, with nice updates and furniture. My family thoroughly enjoyed the property.
The cottage was the perfect place to stay for a few days if you can't find something on the beach or don't want to be on the beach. You are close to all things on 30A by a short car ride or bike ride. It accommodated our 6 guests nicely for the short time. It was a close walk to the beach. The beach was also very quiet and not crowded which was very nice. It would have been nice to have bikes included but the owner gave us all the info on how to rent. The owner is super responsive and gives you all the info you need to enjoy your stay.
We had such a great experience at this property! The house was clean and had everything we could think of needing for our trip. The back porch was a dreamy spot to relax, especially on rainy days. The pool was within steps of our back porch, but still felt secluded. Plenty of beach toys, beach chairs, kids activities, and books. A short 5 minute walk to the beach put the icing on the cake. Private beach was beautiful and there was plenty of room for everyone. If we come back to the area, this will definitely be a repeat stay for my family. Thanks for caring about all of the details and making our stay a memorable one.
We went to this cottage at Camp Creek for a three day girls weekend and we had a fabulous time! The cottage is so cute and had everything we needed. It was just a short walk to the beach and the beach was not too crowded. Paula was wonderful communicating about all the details. I would definitely go back!
We loved staying at Paula’s “The Good Life” Cottage!
Paula’s place was perfect for our family vacation! Super convenient to the beach and surrounding areas. Very clean place, and comfortable beds! It is noted in the listing that they will provide a 24-hour worth of necessities, but might be worth packing an extra roll of toilet paper or two, a couple more dishwasher tablets, & some laundry detergent if you plan on doing laundry while there. Paula happened to be staying next door in their other cottage, Key Lime, while we were there and was very gracious to drop off some hand and dish soap that had been suggested to have by their last guest. Overall a wonderful stay - we’ll be back!
The community has a nice feel. The cottage is well stocked and nicely furnished, but could use a bottle of hand soap at the kitchen sink. The 9:00 check out is earlier than most places where we have stayed while traveling over the years. Access to the beach was across the street and down a few houses. It was pretty easy to have a good time.
There's nothing NOT to love about Good Life. It's in a great location for the many great neighborhoods and activities along 30A and the private beach is the icing on the cake. Do yourself a favor and rent bikes so that you can explore all that this area has to offer. Why rent one of the massive houses when Good Life has everything you need right here? Should you encounter some Florida rain, the owner has plenty of games for you to play while you wait for the sunshine to return. You'll enjoy this place just like our family did.
We loved our stay! The cottage is SO cute, comfortable, and functional—the pictures don’t do it enough justice! We had plenty of room for our family. The home was clean on arrival and everything was in good working order. Pride in ownership is apparent. Paula has thoughtfully outfitted the property with everything a vacationing family could need, from kitchenware to beach essentials. My kiddos loved the selection of books and games, and as the mom I especially appreciated the abundance of wall hooks throughout for wet towels and bathing suits.
The location is super convenient. The walk to the beach was easy, and it was short bike ride to an abundance of restaurants and shops along 30A.
We thoroughly enjoyed having a sizable shaded outdoor space with a grill and furniture. Even on a scorching week, we spent much time on the covered porch enjoying morning coffee, evening cookouts, and listening to the soothing white noise of sun showers hitting the tin roof.
The property is ideally situated close to the community’s pool complex. It’s a very short walk, yet far enough away that you wouldn’t hear any noise from other guests. The pool is much larger than it appears in photos and was never crowded even though we were here during a busy July 4 week.
Paula and the management company were very helpful and always quick to respond to any questions. We had a wonderful experience, made many great memories for a lifetime, and would absolutely book again. Thank you for everything!
Never having been to 30A, finding the perfect place to stay was a little overwhelming. I spent a lot of time researching and waiting to find the perfect place that combined location, amenities, and price point, and I eventually found this house within the Cottages at Camp Creek. I have never been so happy to wait for something in my life. This house had it all. It’s close to the beach (and really all the places on 30A), has an excellent pool, and is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place, and when we visit 30A in the future, we’d probably stay here again.
I also want to highlight the owner, Paula. Paula was always extremely quick to answer my questions leading up to our stay. She was very thorough and thoughtful with the responses providing great recommendations and information every time. She was so accommodating and friendly. I really can’t say enough about her. I wish all Vrbo owners could be like Paula.
My only complaint is this - one of the big reasons I had booked the house was for the hot tub. The hot tub was not in service when we were there (it happens), but there was no information about this. I called the property management company (Southern Vacation Rentals runs it). They had no answer, but the nice lady who I spoke with said she’d call me back after contacting the HOA. I never heard back and the hot tub was never fixed. Disappointed that the hot tub didn’t work but more disappointed that I was left hanging.
What a wonderful place to stay and get away! We needed some R & R and that's what we got! Loved the pool and we were close enough to the beach. Everything was comfy & cozy and just perfect! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. We loved every minute of our vaca! Will definitely be back!
