Rolling Waves Beach Cottages

If you want a slice of ‘old Florida’, this is the place. I almost hate to review because it’s a little jewel that I like to keep to myself…

I've been coming to Rolling Waves since I was 26 years old in 2004; it's 2023, I'm 46, and I'm still in love with the laid back, "old Florida" feel. The cottages are nothing fancy, but that's exactly the point. With the amazing views and the beach only steps away (I mean that literally, unlike most beach places where that translates to "3 blocks away") it's an amazing place to truly unwind.

Shelley, the property manager is Great!! Very responsive and very nice! The cottages are so perfect! Everything you need, besides food! The bed was SUPER comfy! And our guests enjoyed the sofa bed! Who ever says they enjoy a sofa bed, right?? I can attest, it was comfy! Laundry facility on-site! Outdoor shower which is awesome after a day at the beach. The beach access and private beach are PHENOMENAL!!!! It was hardly busy and there is so much wildlife to enjoy! An excellent place to kick back and relax!!! I will say, time of year makes a huge difference. I went in June and it was clear skies and calm waters, and just Heaven. September was different, lots of sea weed in the water, it rained alot. This was all Mother Nature, nothing against RWC. If you want a dreamy stay, I'd go in the summer months. But if chillin in the cottage, enjoying a book and rain suits you, this may be your Heaven! Everyone has their dream vaca right!? Thank you so much Shelley for such a memorable Honeymoon we hadn't had til now!!! Your awesome! And we can't wait to come back!💜

We've stayed a week at Rolling waves now for about the last 5 or 6 years. It's quiet and very relaxing. The cabins give a little bit of feel of Old Florida, and the beach is wonderful! Not far from grocery and restaurants. St. Armand's Circle is just down the road about 15 minutes. Shelley is the onsite manager and deals with any problems that may come up. She's great!

What a precious, quaint and private setting! We loved our stay and look forward to booking for next year as well. Shelly, who runs the place was so friendly and helpful. The cottages were clean, comfortable and supplied with almost all your needs. You only need a bag as beach chairs are available for you. The beds and sheets were so comfortable. I can't wait to return! Thank you ,Shelly and Rolling Waves for an amazing stay!!
