Bikini Bottom on 30A - Gulf Place Cabanas Unit 208 - 3 Min Walk to Beach

Ever dreamt of just packing the car, throwing in your luggage and just driving until you reach clear waters and white sands? Not having to feel like you need to pack your entire house with you, with everything from cooking supplies, to spices and tin foil, to beach towels, chairs and umbrellas? Do you hate it when you walk into a beach property and realize you forgot your much-needed salt & pepper, tomorrow morning's coffee and paper towels at home?

You start to look a little closer and realize someone sight-impaired might have cleaned the place and those sad seashells sitting in there look like they've been gathering dust since the millennium. Scrap the outdated, unloved, IKEA-style vacation spots and look no further than "Bikini Bottom."

“Bikini Bottom” is a charming & impeccably clean coastal escape, equipped with everything you need (except your belongings and food of course -- which we can have delivered and stocked for you though)! You'll find everything from kitchen supplies, to cooking essentials, champagne for the evening and coffee for the morning, beach chairs & towels, umbrellas, beach toys, pickleball equipment, board games & cards, shampoo, conditioner, soap... you name it - we either have it or we can't fit it. No more lugging your entire home with you for a beach vacay.

Book your stay with us today, so you can kick back & relax under the rays of 30A!
