Shawn and I have been together since age 16 & 18- Im now 53 and Shawn is 55- How time flies. We have 2 children. Our daughter Kelly is a Navy Physician and recently was married to her husband Joseph. My son Christopher is a Math teacher in a NYC high school. Our family is growing and now have our first grandson Kilian.
We also have 2 golden retrievers- Reagan and Murphy- they keep us pretty busy as they are littermates.
We look forward to hosting you in our new home. If you need anything while you are staying please reach out. I will be on site in a separate property.
Why this property? We chose specifically the preserve because of the beach access. It is the only community on 30A that has gated/deeded beach access. We have "private access" to a public area that has no access.

Sydney B.Fave place to stay on 30A!
Our family was so happy to return to Eileen and Sean’s carriage house. Eileen and Sean truly make it so easy and stress free. We love the location on 30A and the convenient access to the {private} beach. It is also a quick drive to some of our favorite restaurants on 30A. We are so appreciative of the pride of ownership that continues to show--the carriage house was spotless with new and easy-to-use appliances. Everything was set-up for us, and the only thing we needed to do was get groceries. They provide beach toys, chairs, and towels. Having two pools to come back to after a day at the beach was such a bonus for our kids. We can't say enough great things about staying at this location. And we're already looking forward to our next visit.

B. C.Great Vacay
Carriage house was clean and cute. All the amenities were provide, bikes, beach toys, a beach wagon, and even a golf cart! There were shops and restaurants close by. Eileen and Shawn were very welcoming and concerned that we were comfortable for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Lauren Z.Just book it!!
My family has been coming down to 30A annually or semiannually since 2016. This was one of our best stays! My 12 year-old daughter and I stayed here to celebrate her birthday. The carriage house was stocked with everything we needed - we flew in from Atlanta and didn’t have to bring anything else except our carryon bags! Eileen and Shawn were gracious hosts and have thought of everything. We used the provided bikes to go to Grayton Beach for lunch. We used their beach wagon, chairs and towels to spend the afternoon at the beach (was not crowded and accessed through gated boardwalk). We used the included golf cart multiple times a day to go to Bad Ass Coffee, Grayton Seafood for a birthday dinner, and Seaside for shopping and lunch. We also went to the neighborhood pools two afternoons. The carriage house was absolutely spotless! Eileen’s communication was perfect, and we are so grateful that we found this gem. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend booking - you won’t be disappointed!

Lori T.Great Beach Trip
We had a great time at Beach Therapy 30A. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Everything you need is provided. Eileen provides all the beach toys, bikes, chairs, boogey boards, umbrella, ice, toiletries, kitchen needs and I could go on and on. -And the golf cart was great, we only drove 2 times. We really didn’t need our car. There is food and fun within walking distance. We hope to be back. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Vange S.The perfect place to stay
As someone who visits 30A several times a year, I cannot even begin to describe how immaculately clean, cute, and well stocked the carriage house was. Shawn gave us a warm welcome and showed us around and Eileen was so helpful with the booking process and has thought of her guests every need. We had a great relaxing trip. We will be back .

Brandace H.Wonderful stay!!
Eileen and Shawn were amazing hosts. We felt so welcomed. Everything about our stay was exceptional and easy. The carriage house was extremely clean and well stocked with anything you may need. We loved using the beach gear, golf cart and bikes. This was the perfect inclusion and our toddler loved it all. We can't wait to visit again- we could not have asked for a better vacation stay for our little family and our dogs as well.

Jennifer R.Best Place EVER!!!
We had the opportunity to stay in Sean and Eileen’s carriage house during our recent family vacation and it was the perfect piece of paradise! Not to mention that Sean and Eileen were the perfect hosts!!! The house was not only beautiful it was stocked with all of the things one may easily forget while packing. AND we had a little happy waiting on us, an insulated beverage cup and can cooler. WOW! We have vacationed in different parts of 30A for the last several years and this has by far been our favorite. We hope to get back in October if it works out! Thanks y’all for sharing your paradise!!!~The Walter Family Benton, KY

Caroline Q.Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay at beach therapy 30a! It was a quiet area with tennis courts, pools. The golf cart was a hit with our kids who loved the nightly ride to the ice cream shop that was very close! Shawn and Eileen were very gracious hosts with a tremendous attention to detail. The carriage house was meticulously clean and included everything that we needed. We were lucky to have stumbled upon this little gem and can’t wait to return

Nancy H.Perfect getaway!
Beach Therapy 30A is just that … therapy for your soul! After a two-year hiatus from 30-A, this was a great welcome back to our favorite beaches! Eileen and Shawn are wonderful hosts and the space was perfect for my husband, myself and our pup! They even have dog treats! They have thought of everything! Beautiful furnishings, comfy bed, nice screened porch and even a little fenced area for the dog. We didn’t cook but there’s everything there if you wanted to. The golf cart is great for getting to the beach and around 30A quickly and without having to use your car. We had a perfect week, thanks to our great hosts and wonderful accommodations! We will be back!

Sydney B.Fantastic Stay on 30A
You will not be disappointed when you book your getaway at Beach Therapy 30A. The owners take such pride in the property and it shows in their attention to detail with everything from a comfortable bed & sofabed, top of the line appliances, soaps/shampoos, linens, etc. This was BY FAR, the cleanest property we've ever stayed at.They have thought of EVERYTHING, so all you have to do is pack your beach apparel and enjoy your time.And we were also made to feel so welcome by the owners. The access to the beach was extremely easy and literally across the street from the complex. Having a heated pool available is also key, especially if you travel in March like we did. Our boys enjoyed swimming for hours in the warm pool after being at the beach. We are excited to stay again at Beach Therapy 30A on our next trip to 30A!

Jocelynn W.A Dream Vacay in a Quiet Neighborhood
FIVE STARS - wish I could give it six!! My husband and I had a very relaxing and cozy time in this sparkling clean carriage house! Eileen thought of every comfort and amenity we could possible need for a beach vacay - all we needed to do was show up and relax! Golf cart, bikes, beach gear, restaurant recommendations, you name it! The beach is not only a short walk, but it’s flat (ideal and unique to this area I feel). The bed was very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood with a sunny view of 30A! We are definitely going to be repeat visitors!

The Carriage House is a delightful and perfect home to visit. The owners are most gracious with their hospitality cleanliness and numerous amenities. All the bases are covered and you won’t be disappointed. Santa Rosa and Grayton Beach are heavenly with just the right amount of offerings. We have already booked next years visit and look forward to another year of memories.

Terri L.30A Getaway
Loved the location and the privacy of the carriage house. The Owners were available via text if needed. Beach was private and beautiful. The golf cart, beach chairs and umbrella and bikes were a plus to have available for our use during our stay. The carriage home was clean and tastefully decorated. Plenty of linens, towels and a washer dryer when needed.

Jordan D.Great Place
First thing is WOW! The owners go out of their way to make sure everything is cleaned and a easy, enjoyable stay. Even with a inconvenience (wifi went out - beach wide) the owners went out of their way to make up for it. The house is extremely clean and in amazing shape. The beach buggy that attaches to the golf cart is such a blessing. The house is in a very convenient place and a lot of places to eat and visit. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend anyone to stay.

Kelly Van M.Amazing location and amenities
Eileen and Sean are wonderful hosts and their Carriage House is perfect for a couple or small family. They are right there if you need something (like another bag of ice!) but completely unobtrusive otherwise. Their place is spotless and items from the dishes to the bikes to the beach toys are top notch. We especially loved the beach wagon that they provide! The wheels make it so much easier than our own wagon to pull across the sand. It is a bit of a hike to get to open spots on the beach-many right at the end of the boardwalk are taken up by rental chairs before the sun even comes up. But once you get there-it’s totally worth it!

Douglas G.July 4 week
These guys were wonderful to stay with! Cleanliness and being in a safe area if you're unfamiliar with the area is not an issue here. Helpful anytime you needed anything and we hit a homerun on a local restuarant recommendation. The end of stay rules before leaving was simple and I'm glad they use a high standard in between guests for bed sheets etc. Use of the golf cart was a nice added feature. We could have stayed 2 weeks in a row. Hope see you guys again in the future. Definitely reccomend!

Megumi R.Five stars!
We’ve stayed in a lot of short-term rentals around the country and this was by far our favorite and best experience! Eileen went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. She is communicative and quick to respond, and has thought of every detail. The carriage house is immaculately clean and very dog friendly. The location was within close walking distance to the beach and there are bikes and a golf cart to easily get around. We will definitely be back!

Robbie D.Blessing at the Beach
I loved staying at Beach Therapy 30a. The host Eileen thought of everything to make our stay superb. We loved the home with high ceilings, lots of light flowing in, the beautiful bedroom and kitchen. The porch was so nice to sit and watch the fireworks on New Years Eve. The golf cart was a great plus so we did not have to drive in our car. I loved the location and the local restaurants. Eileen is a fantastic host who made us feel at home and was very friendly and communicated with us every step of the way. We would love to comeback again and bring our dogs to enjoy the backyard and the bike/walk path. The carriage house has everything you need to have a great getaway place that is relaxing and peaceful. Thanks Eileen for a great stay for the New Years holiday.

Diana L.Clean, cozy, and convenient!
Super clean, very cozy, and extremely convenient, this dog-friendly place more than deserves all of its five-star ratings. The gated neighborhood is quiet, with tennis courts and a pool; you can also get around using the bikes and the golf cart provided. The beach is just across 30A and features two amazing dune lakes, perfect for wading. And Borago, our favorite place to eat at the beach, is right around the corner! Last but not least, Eileen is a gracious and generous host, along with her husband and their two pups. We felt very welcome and are looking forward to a return visit asap!

Joe D.Thanksgiving was perfect
Big things do come in small packages. From the coffee in the pantry on the first morning to the full range of beach gear, the fat tire wagon to pull it on the sand, and the golf cart to get from A to B, everything was perfect. Eileen is a wonderful host and even had a brand new roasting pan in the kitchen in anticipation of Thanksgiving cooking. Can't recommend highly enough!

My husband and our dog Flint are seasoned road trippers. We wanted to end our vacation at the beach. Eileen's carriage house checked all the boxes and beyond. Clean and furnished lovely. Dog friendly. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Bed was so comfortable. Thoughtful and attentive host. Loved the use of bikes and beach gear. Access to the Gulf is a easy and a lovely nature filled walk. Four blissful days.
