Testimonials

Mellow Yellow is a fantastic house! Our kids absolutely loved it and we did as well. Location is perfect, walk to gulf easy, and there are restaurants within walking distance too. And our doggie came with us! We plan to go again as soon as we can. BM, MI, 2020.

Mellow Yellow is a great location. Owner easy to work with and helpful. We’ll be back.  MD, KY, 2020.

  • "Fabulous Location"

    You’re not going to find a better location. Close to the beach and the biking trail. Close to great restaurants too. How great it was to have your own community pool, and what a cute community! Pat was so helpful during our stay, answered so many questions (and even helped us find an extra parking spot when our son came to visit). We hope to be back next year!

  • "Great winter break from Ohio"

    My wife and I very much enjoyed this cottage. Great location and neighborhood, comfortable and cute as can be, couldn’t be more convenient, and simply made our two week vacation great!

  • "Amazing home for a nice getaway with the fur babies ❤️"

    The pictures just did not do this home justice. It is beautiful, very well kept, and close to the beach. We rented bikes for a couple days and used those to go back and forth to the beach and shops. The fenced in backyard was perfect for the fur kids and it was nice to be able to sit outside with them after a long day at the beach and shopping. Pat was wonderful and her communication was quick. She was gracious enough to let us check in an hour early as we drove from Pennsylvania. She checked on us the night of checking in to make sure everything was as we expected. I will be staying here again when we come back to 30A 🙂

  • "Close to the Beach"

    Great dog friendly bungalow close to the action on 30A.

    – March - April 2023

  • "Cozy & Quaint"

    This place was the perfect fit for our family. It was close to the beach and shopping but then you could go home and relax away from the hustle and bustle. The fenced in backyard made it nice for our dog and he settled right in. The host made it easy to stay here and the neighborhood was friendly. Right down the street is a place to rent bikes and get ice cream so that was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again if we visit this area.

  • "30APaws – We loved it!"

    My husband, two daughters, and I recently stayed at 30A Paws while visiting family in the area and absolutely loved it. We brought our sweet little pup and the backyard was just perfect for him. The house had everything we wanted and/or needed. 30A Paws has a great feel and we were so very comfortable there. The kitchen area has a large table that easily seats six. The family room furniture offers plenty of seating, even when family members dropped by for a visit. The bathrooms have plenty of large bath towels, hand towels and washcloths, which we greatly appreciated. The laundry and storage room off the kitchen is huge, the washer and dry were fantastic and we so appreciated having a small supply of detergent pods provided for use. We greatly enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and to the beach and back each day.

    Pat was a great communicator. She answered every question quickly and concisely. It was a great experience and we would definitely stay there again.

  • "Amazing home! 5 minute walk to beach. Very nice and clean. Spacious. Elegant decor. Pat is amazing! Responds to all questions usually immediately. Very friendly and understanding. Would definitely rent again from her."

  • "Awesome place, Location, Pet Friendly place – Couldn’t ask for more"

    From the time we walked in, the place felt like home. The house was warm and welcoming. The location was great, short walk to beach, ice cream, restaurant, or fresh seafood market. Pool was just outside. Our dog, Shyloh felt right at home. There wasn’t a thing we needed, kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil my chef husband wanted. Plenty of space for our family of four for hanging out. The girls loved the hammocks. We enjoyed being so close to shopping and the many dining options. The owner Pat is wonderful, can’t wait until we can return.

  • "Great pet friendly vacation home."

    Good location, well stocked, clean & Pat is WONDERFUL to work with. She responded IMMEDIATELY to any concerns we had. I loved the hammocks & dolphin mural. Our furry child, miss Sophie, felt right at home in Mellow Yellow. Pat went above and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable. Will definitely rent from Pat in the future.

  • "Great Pet Friendly House"

    This house was perfect for our spring break vacation. It is beautifully and comfortably decorated and has everything we needed. The beach is a very short walk and there are plenty of places nearby to exercise our dogs. The pool is just steps away and the community is quiet and nicely landscaped. The house has great porches for relaxing, reading, or just napping. Shopping and restaurants are close, as are biking and hiking trails. Pat and her team are fantastic to work with. Storms from the previous week had affected the wifi operation, but I made one call and it was quickly fixed the same morning we arrived. We would definitely stay here again!

  • "Great Property in a Quiet, Friendly, Convenient Location"

    Just completed a 2 month winter stay at Mellow Yellow with our 2 mid-sized rescue doggies. The cottage is exactly as described in this listing. The stunningly beautiful beach is close by, and the Old Florida Cottages community is very quiet, intimate, and friendly to pets and people alike. There is a great selection of restaurants ranging from elegant to local charm within walking distance and and a huge selection within a short drive. The 30A area is absent the hustle and bustle of the more built up areas in the region — just the way we like it. All the services you will need are a 5-10 minute drive away. Mellow Yellow met our needs perfectly and we would recommend it for a family vacation or seasonal snowbirds, especially those with pets.

  • "Wonderful Stay!"

    We just returned from a wonderful 7 days in beautiful Santa Rosa Beach! Mellow Yellow was the perfect accomodations! The location was wonderful – a quick walk to the beach or 30A, footsteps from the pool, and shopping and dining within minutes are just few things that make this the perfect rental. The house was all that it was advertised to be. Our 7 year old loved the hammocks and our mini labradoodle loved going on walks around the neighborhood and was so happy to meet so many new puppy friends. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in Santa Rosa Beach!!

    Icing on the cake was working with Mrs. Pat. She was so sweet on the phone, easy to work with and very efficient with her correspondence!

  • "Great location"

    Pat,

    Thank you for Mellow Yellow, Europa now and 30APaws. We’ve stayed at all of them and there are features for each house that we love. That you welcome our dogs so openly is such a highlight! We love being “Beach Family”!

  • "Great Stay!!"

    My fiance’s family was coming down to the beach for the week… We wanted to join, therefore we needed more room and a place where we could take his dog. Mellow Yellow was PERFECT!! Great little house with a short walk to the beach, view of the community pool and right in the back door of Goatfeathers. Everything we needed was right there, along with toys with which to play in the water. If you’re looking for a relaxing, smaller house for a week of beach fun, this is a GREAT choice!!

  • "No Kids :)"

    We love our children, but sometimes you need a break, and this was the first one we had in years!

    Wow! What an amazing home. Which is where we felt like we were. Except we don’t have a private pool or live anywhere near the beach. Marble floors were perfectly cool for the dogs even in the heat of June. Private master suite was gorgeous. The whole place felt a bit like a suite at the Bellagio.

    Owner Pat was easy to work with even as she was traveling the world.

    Thanks again Pat. We will be checking out your other rentals too. Let us know when the Bahamas house is finished. Thanksgiving?

    – Tom, GA

  • "Amazing!"

    Wow! The pictures do not do justice to this most amazing place! It was perfect. The bedrooms are spacious and immaculate. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to make a gourmet meal. The porches with hammocks are a nice touch. We rented bikes and rode the entire area. Beautiful! The beach is literally a few steps from the subdivision entrance. We walked and rode our bikes down – but it’s really a very short walk. The beach access has clean public bathrooms right where you need them. We rented umbrellas and chairs easily for our lazy beach days. They come with full set-up.

    The only minus – and it was minor – you must have a dog permit. We took our chances and received a verbal warning. Other than that, it’s perfect. Plenty of linens. Plenty of everything you need. Oh, yes, and the pool is right outside the back door.

  • "Perfect place for us!"

    We decided to needed a beach week but had no one to keep our dogs. Wondered if there was a nice condo or house that actually accepted dogs and wasn’t flea ridden! Googled “dog friendly properties” and the website came up.

    Bottom line: this two bedroom townhouse is so cute and perfectly fitted out. Spotless!! The place was pretty, beds so comfortable, kitchen completely fitted out, flat screens in every room.

    It is about a block and a half from the beach so easily walkable. There are balconies upstairs off both bedrooms plus front and back porches. The back faces a pool shared by 10-12 similar homes which surround it.

    We took our dogs to the beach after 6 each evening and let them run around. Were never stopped by anyone or received no complaints for this. Before 9 in the am we walked with them on a leash. Saw other dogs at these times as well.

    We will be back!

    – Ellen, GA

  • "What a wonderful week at the beach!"

    Mellow yellow was a delightful accommodation for our week at the beach. Pat and Lee, thank you for sharing your very comfortable home. The beach was a short 5 minute walk and the pool was steps from the back door. We enjoyed our evening walk to the artists kiosks and found several treasures to remind us of the time we spent at Mellow Yellow. Santa Rosa beach is quiet yet Destin and PC are just a short drive away. Pat is so easy to work with and responsive to any question I had. I look forward to spending more time here soon!

  • "Great house and location!"

    We had a wonderful 9 days at Mellow Yellow. The house is nicely decorated, well-furnished and clean with a spacious dining and living room area. It is conveniently located with the community pool practically rights outside the back door (no need to cross any streets) and the beach is a short few minutes walk, without needing to cross any busy streets. I would definitely stay at Mellow Yellow again.

    – Steve, MD

  • "Quiet yet close, pet friendly yet clean, whimsical yet peaceful! GREAT PLACE!"

    So grateful to have found Mellow Yellow, the owner is hospitable and the home is very comfortable. We looked forward to this trip all summer, and the place did not disappoint. We were able to comfortably cook a full dinner one evening. There were plenty of pillows and towels. The hammocks were the perfect place to nap, if we weren’t napping poolside. We brought a cable to secure outside, since she isn’t a “barker”, the neighbors just pat her on the head or spoke to her on their way to the pool.

    I felt comfortable contacting the owner with any concerns, and highly recommend Mellow Yellow.

    Thank you again,

    woof woof.

    ps. If you aren’t traveling with a pet, and might be wary of a “pet friendly” place… I’d say this home is kept as well as “no-pets” places.

  • "Awesome place!"

    Mellow Yellow was a fabulous place to stay! The home had a wonderful beachy feel and is beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed and the owner is fabulous to work with! She is so pleasant and nice! The location was great since it was so close to the beach and restaurants/shops. There were treats waiting for our dogs and water/food bowls provided. The description of the location/cottage was accurate and the photos really did not do justice to the actual home. The neighborhood was beautiful and everyone was so friendly. The home/property is well kept. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone and we will definitely rent this place again in the future! Our whole family was very impressed!

  • "Fabulous Mellow Yellow"

    This is the fourth time we have stayed at Mellow Yellow. Absolutely superb. We love coming here. We rest relax and our little Yorkie Shelby Loves it. Pat is wonderful to work with and it is an absolute pleasure to do business with her. The house is adorable the pool is awesome and our days at the beach which is just a walk away are wonderful. I think we will be coming here forever we love it so much.

    – Suzie, AL

  • "Everything was perfect!"

    The house was just as it was described. The owner was very helpful during the booking process and answered questions we had prior to arrival quickly. The location is quiet but close to shopping and restaurants. The beach a short walk away and the community pool is well maintained. The other guests were friendly but everyone kept to themselves. We had our 2 teen daughters and our dog along. Everyone loved the house and location.

    – Maggie

  • "Perfect Vacation Spot"

    The listing was accurate and Mellow Yellow is one of the most charming places that we have rented so far from VRBO. The photos reflect some but not all of the charm of this most pleasant townhome. The access to the beach was convenient, we had our granddaughter with us as well as the dog and we had a most marvelous time. Mellow Yellow is close to 30 A and a lot of wonderful restaurants.

    The owner was extremely helpful with all our questions. Not only would I recommend this beautiful townhome we plan to go again!

  • "PERFECT BEACH GETAWAY FOR MY HUSBAND, MYSELF, AND OUR GERMAN SHEPHERD PUP"

    We were provided with everything one could need prior to our arrival, from maps, directions, restaurant suggestions, etc. Upon arrival we were stunned, everything was perfect. The Mellow Yellow was spotless, so clean and cozy. There was plenty of space to set up our gigantic dog crate, which was very important for us! There was everything you could need; new washer/dryer, dishwasher, rocking chairs on the front porch, and hammocks on the two upstairs porches! It was well represented, everything you expected is what you got plus some. Pat went out of her way to accommodate us, make us feel at home, and make us part of her beach family! It was very relaxing, I cannot wait to go back down!! We had a huge grill that was ours and shared pooled in the community, but we never actually used the pool The BEACH was too BEAUTIFUL! About a block down the road is your beach access, there is a shower and a bathroom there for your beach departure. There is also a really great guy who sets up your chairs and umbrella if you choose to rent them. I suggest YOU DO! It made everything easier having it all right there, not too mention we rented a KAYAK, best decision we made!!! The pup (a 100lb German Shepherd) went to the beach and had a ball. (dogs are allowed before 9 and after 6) We went for runs on the beach, played in the water, swam, chased birds, played fetch, dug in the sand, and socialized with some other pups. If you have a dog you can definitely appreciate this. The mornings and the evenings were my favorite part of each day. The whole family got to play together….it was awesome. It is such a privilege to have your dog allowed on the beach….SO REMEMBER TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG!!! EVERYONE DOES! The beaches are so clean and gorgeous. Santa Rosa beach was just voted #3 most beautiful beach in the nation!

    A short walk from the house is a business area that houses a coffee shop, restaurants, shops, bars, a pharmacy, etc… But we did drive the extra few miles every day to go to SeaSide Village. Our best dinners were down there, I got a fresh juice every morning from RAW N JUICY, my husband enjoyed many hotdogs from an airstream van, and we shopped at Modica Market which had everything from toilet paper to fine wines…their prepared foods were delicious.

    WE LOVE THE MELLOW YELLOW … WE WILL BE RETURNING SOONER THAN LATER!!

  • "Amazing!!!"

    We came across this property while frantically searching for a place to stay while we attended our daughter’s wedding – not hard by itself but when you add in three dogs it becomes more difficult. Pat was wonderful, the back yard was fabulous, great for the dogs and it was such a nice touch to leave dog biscuits for the pups. The entire property was beautiful inside and out, lots of room, great kitchen – well stocked. Perfect location, close to the beach, shopping, restaurants….

    So grateful to Pat for working with us on the dates and allowing us to bring our entire brood..

    – Sal, Tn

  • "This cottage was perfect for the three adults and our small pet yorkie."

    This cottage was perfect for the three adults and our small pet yorkie. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was easy to locate. Beaches, pool, restaurants, shops. The only thing that didn’t work was our Lap-top. Very enjoyable and would definitely rent this place again without a doubt.

    – Suzie, AL

  • "We can’t wait to go back!"

    We truly enjoyed our stay at Mellow Yellow. The property is roomy, comfortable and very clean. The back decks overlook the swimming pool and our perfect for early morning coffee or evening drinks. Also, you can’t beat the location. The house is on the beachside of 30A and a short walk to the beach–no need to worry about parking. We can’t wait to go back!

  • "Best Ever Rental!"

    We loved this house and pool! It is beautiful and lots of room. The dining room chandelier and the 1/2 bath door were my favorite things in the house! We and our pups will definitely be back! Thanks for being such kind property owners, Pat is a joy to work with!😊😊

    – Lori B., GA

  • "Best two weeks I have ever spent…"

    Best two weeks I have ever spent – hardest decision was whether to go to beach or go to pool. Great house, wonderful location and perfect weather. Will be back and that is a promise. Thanks Pat.

  • "We feel like it is our home away from home."

    Our family vacation for the 2009 year will be at Mellow Yellow for the 4th year. It is such a nice place and very clean. We feel like it is our home away from home. Our family looks forward every year to spend time at the beach house.

    Thanks Pat!!!
