Parking:
All vehicles must be parked in one of two designated parking areas. Guests may park up to 2 vehicles in the home’s driveway. Guests may park a third vehicle in the guest community parking area (across from the driveway), but only with a valid parking pass. There is a $100 fine, which will be passed on to the guest responsible for attempting to park more than one vehicle in this area. Note that parking is limited, and parking spots are first come, first served. Paid parking is available at various local businesses in the surrounding area. No street parking is permitted. Parking vehicles in any other location in the community will likely result in the vehicle being towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.
About the Community/Property:
Conveniently located near newly opened attractions such as the 48,000 square foot Publix Grocery Store and Watersound Farmers Market, Cottages at Camp Creek ensures guests have everything they need within a short drive. Dining options like Ambrosia Prime Seafood and Steaks, 30A Burger Bar, and Shades are just minutes away, while walking and biking trails along 30A lead to shopping and restaurants at Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and beyond. Enjoy the spacious 75-foot-long community pool, hot tub, and palm-tree-lined beach access just steps away.
Private beach access is a very short walk away. From the front entrance, turn left onto 30A and walk along the path. The gate is located between the homes at 8858 and 8870 East Highway 30A. The beach is owned by the waterfront homeowners, and we are their guests. Please respect their property and privacy by placing your chairs close to the waterline, keeping the stairs and walkway free of all items (bikes, strollers, shoes, etc.), and do not park in front of the nearby houses. Bring any trash back to the cottage.
Dillon’s Beach Service is the only vendor who has permission from the property owners to place chairs and umbrellas on the beach. They also offer paddleboards, kayaks, cabanas, and bonfires at public beach accesses. Chairs include delivery and set up, and they will take a credit card payment on the phone.
At the beach, you can’t smoke or have tents or pets in the dry area of the beach. There are no lifeguard stations at this part of the beach, but you can still find out what the water conditions are by visiting the South Walton Fire Department’s Beach Safety Division. Take time to learn about the flags and what they mean. Also, please know that for liability reasons, the SWFD rarely flies the green flag, as they always want beach visitors to be cautious. Please keep in mind that it is illegal to enter the water under some conditions, so please take the time to understand what the conditions are. You can also get text updates on the conditions.
Other details to note:
Bookings can be no longer than 2 weeks in duration.
Please note that staying at this home requires stairs (it is not handicapped-accessible).
In addition to the full-sized crib, the owners provide a baby gate, Pack N Play/travel crib, and a child’s highchair for families with little ones. An air mattress can be made available.
Beach towels in the first-floor cubbies in the entry area are available for guests’ convenience. If using the beach towels, guests must wash and dry them and return them to the cubbies prior to departure.
Garbage pickup takes place at 6am on Tuesdays and Fridays. Accordingly, garbage must be bagged and put in the 4 bins next to the driveway on Monday and Thursday evenings. The community charges fees for excess garbage placed outside of the cans, so ensure all garbage is in bags inside the cans with closed lids to avoid these fees. Thank you in advance for being thoughtful by ensuring the next guests (and current neighbors) won’t be greeted with full trash cans.
When cooking, do not drain grease into the sink or garbage. Allow grease to cool and harden before placing grease in the garbage. Please do not flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper. If you use the grill, turn it off immediately and close the valve on the propane tank. There are often detergent pods and dryer sheets in the laundry area for your use during your stay. Please use only what you need. Dishwasher tablets are available under the sink for your use during your stay. Again, please use only what you need. Do not place pots and pans in the dishwasher.
If you call Dillon’s for beach service, make sure to give the home’s address and ask them to set up the chairs at the private access between Walton Gulf View Drive and A Street (next to the big white house).
Upon booking, you’ll receive timely communications about your trip. Access to your professionally cleaned and sanitized home is also convenient with our custom keyless locks. And, if you need anything before, during or after your stay, our local team is ready to help!
Please be aware that there will be NO refunds for Wi-Fi issues as it’s not guaranteed. If reliable Wi-Fi is a must, you are welcome to bring your own internet hotspot.
