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.

This was our most favorite VRBO place we have ever stayed. From the amazing welcome to the beautiful and clean space to the bikes and other amenities, everything was perfect! We will be back!
Eileen and Shawn are wonderful hosts, and so friendly. We enjoyed the golf cart rides around town and to the beach. The house was very clean and perfect for a little get away!
Eileen and Shawn were the perfect hosts for our mother-daughter (and pup) fall break getaway! The beach was perfect and the carriage house had everything we could possibly need. We would love to come back!
Wonderful spot to get away to the beach. The carriage house is very clean, the owner's are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they provide everything you need.
You can't beat the walkability to dining locations, the beach, and a local bakery. Plus, the golf cart let's you access even more locations and dining spots!
Everything was perfect! The place was very clean and everything you needed was there! It was so nice having beach chairs set up for us everyday! Didn't need to think about anything! Would live to go back!
We had a fantastic trip and loved this carriage house. Every thing you can imagine is there. We enjoyed the beach set up and pickleball courts. Having a golf cart is super handy too. The mattress and linens were so nice and the house was spotless. The only thing to note is if you are not an early riser or sensitive to light in your bedroom, the sun rises in those 3 East facing windows you see pictured above the bed. Overall, a great value for such nice space and location. Sean and Eileen are great communicators and easy to work with.
The hosts, Shawn and Eileen are very approachable and knowledgeable about the area. The carriage house has every single thing you need for a day at the beach and well stocked for staying in, cooking and watching movies! You don’t have to over pack at all when you stay here. This property is on a beautiful street in a quiet gated neighborhood. It is IMMACULATE! We have been coming to 30a for 12 years and this is the cleanest place we have ever stayed- thank you!! Don’t hesitate on booking this beautiful rental- we will definitely be back!
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!
Perfect choice to celebrate our anniversary. Exactly as shown and more! Communication between the owners and us was immediate
Thank you for sharing your get-away cottage
This place was so great! Clean, convenient and perfect for our family! Everything was provided and that was amazing for this momma! We enjoyed our time here! The host were great!!
Property was well equipped and very clean! Eileen was amazing to work with! Probably the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed at! The property had everything we needed! We enjoyed our stay!
Eileen and Shawn are great hosts!!
Even that we had couple day with rain and cold, we were able to relax and rest
Carriage house ans super clean and with everything you need!
Seaside was very close and beach was amazing!
Perfect for a couple!
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.
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.
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!
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!
