Adults and children alike will enjoy "Knot in Kansas", a private cottage with a sprawling yard and minutes from the beach. Zip through the quaint towns of 30A by bicycle before indulging your taste buds at the many award-winning restaurants that dot the landscape. Steps away, enjoy Camp Helen State Park, affording access to the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Powell, one of the largest coastal dune lakes in FL. Wildlife viewing is popular with a diverse habitat including rare shorebirds and bald eagles.
"Knot in Kansas" Cottage is a hidden gem, located on a quiet, secluded dead end street, affording plenty of privacy, yet still close to the beach, Camp Helen State Park and all the action on 30A. You will be a 6-minute walk to the Inlet Beach public beach access where you can experience saltwater activities on the Gulf and freshwater activities on Lake Powell (when crossing the boardwalk over the dunes there are several sets of stairs). If you prefer to avoid stairs you can easily walk to another Inlet Beach beach access close to the home within 8 minutes. As you cruise the area youâll see beach cottages mixed with modern homes in this old-meets-new beach neighborhood.
This home is a charming 3 bedroom (one king bed, one queen bed, one twin over full bunkbed), 1 bath (with a large zero-entry shower), single story cottage nestled on Park Place Avenue East on the south side of Inlet Beach. Affording ample space for guests to roam, this lovely vacation rental also features smart televisions in the living area, all bedrooms and the outddor screened porch, free Wi-Fi, full size washer and dryer and central HVAC. The kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel appliances and everything needed to whip up a quick snack or meal (including a pot filler over the stove). There is both a Keurig pod coffee maker and a 4-cup drip coffee maker to suit any kind of coffee lover. The screened porch houses a plush seating group, a table for four for alfresco dining and a gas fireplace to cozy up on a brisk night. Off the screened porch is a large open-air deck with an outdoor shower that has both hot and cold running water. Here, youâll also find the propane gas grill for barbecues with family and friends. The large grassy yard that surrounds the home is perfect for playing outdoor games. There is even a basketball net for those that enjoy a game of hoops. Two adult cruiser bikes are available for guest use. This home does not have pool access.
You canât beat the proximity to numerous local shopping and dining options at 30 Avenues (1.1 miles), Rosemary Beach (1.3 miles), Seacrest (1.4 miles) and Alys Beaches (2 miles)! Camp Helen State Park, a favorite of locals and guests (0.8 mile from the home), is bordered on 3 sides by the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Powell, one of the largest coastal dune lakes in Florida. Coastal dune lakes are very rare worldwide â in the US they occur only along the Gulf Coast. Wildlife viewing is extremely popular, as the different water bodies have created a diverse habitat for wildlife that includes rare shorebirds and Bald Eagles. Camp Helen is a great fishing spot for both fresh and saltwater species (a FL fishing license is required). The park also provides numerous nature trails for hiking. Visit the lodge and relax in the rocking chairs overlooking Lake Powell, or head to the beach for swimming, beachcombing, tanning or boating. There is a $4 entrance fee per vehicle, $2 per pedestrian, collected using the honor system. The camp is open from 8am to sundown.
You cannot go wrong with this house â its comfort, amenities, and location are second to none. Book your stay at âKnot in Kansasâ cottage and watch your worries melt away.
