Great space for a young family or a couple. The carriage house has 2 rollaway beds suitable for younger children- these are available upon request. We can sleep 2 adults and 2 children.
Greetings and welcome to our tranquil and secluded oasis, "Beach Therapy 30A." Our charming Carriage House is situated in the lovely enclave between the breathtaking beaches of Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach. As our esteemed guest, you will have access to our stunning gated beach entrance, reserved exclusively for homeowners and guests, nestled in the idyllic community of The Preserve. Our distinguished community boasts a total of 125 lots, ensuring a serene and peaceful experience for our treasured guests. Our delightful amenities will captivate and enthrall you throughout your stay. Take a refreshing dip in our two magnificent pools. During peak weeks in the fall and winter, our west pool is heated to ensure optimal comfort and relaxation. The east pool is located in close proximity to our private beach entrance, so feel free to cool off before heading back to your charming abode. Relish the luxurious comforts of our King-size bed, adorned with opulent cotton linens and stunning duvets. Sink into the four soft and cozy king pillows that welcome you each night. If you desire additional pillows, do not hesitate to make a request. Towels and washcloths will be abundantly supplied during your stay, and we have furnished our elegant dispensers with sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your convenience. Our Carriage House kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, including a gas range and oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A commercial ice machine is conveniently located in the main house, with unlimited bagged ice provided for your use. There is no need to purchase ice during your stay. For our returning guests, please note that we always value your feedback and suggestions, which is why we have taken them to heart. We are grateful for our repeat guests and continually strive to improve their experience. Our newest addition is a complimentary beach service for two. Beach towels are also available for your convenience, so leave yours at home. If you desire to explore beyond the immediate area, we have added two Aventon cruisers, allowing you to experience the allure of Rosemary and Alys Beach. The Farmers' Market in Rosemary Beach takes place on Sundays, and the cruisers offer a practical way to carry your purchases. The E-Bikes are perfect for visiting Red Bar and Chiringo, especially as parking is limited in those areas. Moreover, they provide a fun and enjoyable means of exploring the various areas of 30A that you have only seen in pictures. Food enthusiasts will appreciate our extensive knowledge of local restaurants. We are delighted to offer recommendations ranging from Shunk Gulley, Hurricanes Oyster Bar, Borrago, Great Southern, Blue Mabel, and more. If you enjoy cooking, our fully stocked kitchen includes a Kitchen Aid mixer, perfect for those who love to bake. Additionally, cooking classes are offered throughout 30A, and we can provide information about these local events. We take pride in our stringent cleaning procedures, which are meticulously implemented between guest stays. All linens, rugs, and soft items are removed, cleaned, and replaced, while all mattresses and pillows are encased. Our owner-managed home is maintained by the owner, ensuring impeccable attention to detail and a thoroughly sanitized space. For our esteemed guests traveling with pets, we are delighted to offer pet-friendly accommodations. Please note that a fee of $200 per dog is required, and dogs must be crated when you are not present in the carriage house with them. We have Golden Retrievers ourselves and appreciate that some guests may not prefer crating their pets. Unfortunately, one of our previous guests did not crate their dog, leading to the animal escaping the carriage house and getting lost for 90 minutes. This incident was distressing for the dog and could have been prevented if the pet was crated. During the season (March 1 - October 31), we offer beach service to ensure our guests' optimal enjoyment of the beach. Our extensive amenities include beach bikes, a child bike trailer (available upon request, free of charge), children's size bikes (available upon request, free of charge), beach towels, backpack chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys (skim boards, boogie boards, night-time crabbing equipment), coolers (available free of charge), a commercial ice machine, infant and toddler items (pack and play, high chair, baby gate), Black Rifle coffee, tea, sugar/Splenda, salt/pepper, local honey, shrimp boil pot, gas grill, hairdryer, washer/dryer (with detergent provided), and paper goods (napkins, toilet paper, paper towels). As an additional benefit, a GOLF CART is included with your stay (drivers' license and insurance information must be submitted to the homeowner). Our golf cart allows you to effortlessly explore and enjoy the charming 30A area.

Awesome carriage house. Exceptionally clean with all amenities included. The owners are super friendly and help you navigate the property upon arrival. Loved that everything was included with rental including beach service. Beach was roomy and not over crowded as some are on 30 A.

The location is PERFECT. The gated community is so very nice. A relatively short (and beautiful) walk to the beach and a quick ride to Seaside for shopping, meals, and ice cream. We drove the golf cart into Seaside almost daily. Eileen and Shawn were friendly and helpful. The carriage house was extremely clean and very well-appointed. We truly enjoyed our stay!

My wife & I got to stay for a few days and totally enjoyed our time here. The place was immaculate & utterly enjoyable. I was a little uncertain about the distance to the beach, but it was great. There is a walk, but it was easy, and beautiful and actually added to the experience.
The host was fantastic....checking in often and offering any information or help that she could give. I can’t recommend this location more, and look forward to visiting again.

We had an absolute wonderful stay at BeachTherapy30A! We actually got engaged during our stay here. The carriage house is stunning and exquisitely clean. We brought our goldendoodle with us, too. It is the perfect size with easy access to everything in 30A. The golf cart was amazing! We never even used our car while there. Thank you for a dreamy vacation!

I am so glad I found this carriage house for our trip to 30A. This is the first smaller place I have come across with so many amenities. You have access to a golf cart, beach chairs, beach toys including skim and boogie boards, and all the gadgets you would ever need in the kitchen. The flat walk to the private beach is super easy with the cart provided and the owner Eileen is super accommodating. Great find!

The epitome of a dog friendly rental hosted by dog people with exquisite taste. Better yet, they are amazing communicators and representatives of the community they call home. We loved the seclusion of the private beach and pool options. Yet you are close enough to a myriad of restaurants and more touristy stops if you are so inclined. This is the best VRBO experience we have ever had. Kudos!

My husband, 17 year old daughter, and 55lb dog stayed at Shawn and Eileen’s carriage house for 7 days at the start of Spring Break. The attention and care was evident from check in to check out. Spotlessly clean and excellent location to bike, walk and drive to explore 30A. Beach access was lovely, and although a chair service was arranged by the hosts, we did not use it as it was a bit chilly for us on the beach - however I can picture how lovely and convenient it would be on hot days. 10/10 stay. Thank you Eileen and Shawn!

Big things do come in small packages. From the coffee in the pantry on the first morning to the full range of beach gear, the fat tire wagon to pull it on the sand, and the golf cart to get from A to B, everything was perfect. Eileen is a wonderful host and even had a brand new roasting pan in the kitchen in anticipation of Thanksgiving cooking. Can't recommend highly enough!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the carriage house! We had unexpected cold weather while we were there so we didn’t make use of the golf cart or bikes, but the house had so many amenities to offer. We loved the location on 30A as we were close to everything we wanted to do and had a great walking trail to walk our pup. The carriage house is perfectly located near the beach and many restaurants! The private beach access was wonderful and we really enjoyed the walks down there. Eileen and her husband were great hosts! Very clean and everything we needed.

It was a beautiful Carriage House. Very very clean! Great location. Short distance from the beach, restaurants, shopping and fun activities. We like to eat out and Eileen was very helpful in suggesting places to eat, all of them had great food. The golf cart that came with the house was fun to ride around on. The bicycles that were provided were fun to ride. We couldn't ask for a better place to spend our 50th anniversary at. Thank you so much Eileen and Shawn.

We had a great week vacation at Beach Therapy! Eileen and Shawn were fantastic hosts and gave so many suggestions for restaurants, activities, etc. They had literally everything that we needed for a beach vacation! The beach cart and golf cart were an added bonus! The space size was just the right amount for our family of 4 (girls age 8 & 5). The beach was a short distance away and the two pools were great, clean, and never too busy. The carriage house was so clean and we loved having a washer/dryer throughout the week. We will definitely be back! Thank you Eileen and Shawn!

Beach Therapy is a lovely property with everything you need for the perfect beach vacation. We loved the golf cart, bikes, beach toys, and especially the chairs and umbrella that were set up for us every day at the water’s edge. The house is equipped with high-end appliances, kitchen gadgets, utensils, etc. and the location provides for an easy walk to the beach and a short golf cart ride to Seaside.
Eileen and Shawn are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed talking with them about the area and their journey to 30A.
My only recommendations would be perhaps an extra chair in the living area and a small table and chair set to be able to eat on the beautiful screened porch.
If you’re looking for a cozy spot to call home during your 30A stay, Beach Therapy is just what the doctor ordered!

What's not to love about this rental? The location is impeccable with access to a private beach (never felt crowded on the beach). The house is cleaner than any rental we have ever experienced. The pride in home ownership is evident. Everything you need is at the location for you - just bring your suitcase. With two younger children, we love having access to two pools, tennis courts and workout equipment. Communication with the owners was so simple. Always made themselves available for whatever questions we had. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

This place is truly a gem! Everything about our vacation was perfect. Shawn and Eileen are amazing hosts and great resources for everything you could possibly need! The carriage house was immaculate and came equipped for everything we could possibly need while we were there. It was so convenient to have access to beach toys, floats, pickle ball rackets and balls, and that’s just naming a few of the things. The golf cart was such a fun addition. We enjoyed taking it out every day for lunches, dinners, and shopping. It was also awesome to come in from the beach and pool to a house with such great air conditioning. It was so cool and refreshing. This was our first time staying on 30A and we are hooked! Cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we vacation to the Destin/surrounding areas again! One of our best vacations and accommodations ever, and we come once or twice a year to the Destin area. Cannot say enough great things!
