DESCRIPTION
Mer Sea is a true ocean-front three bedroom/three bath luxury penthouse villa at fabulous High Pointe Resort, perfectly located right next to all the dining, shopping, and activities in Rosemary Beach. No expense has been spared in creating the area's premier luxury condominium. Occupying the entire west end of the top (fourth) floor of the gulf front building, the views are totally private from every room, offering sweeping ocean panoramas and year-round sunsets over the gulf. Sophisticated and chic, Mer Sea is at the same time casual, very children-friendly, and certain to delight everyone in your party.
With nearly 2000 square feet of interior living area and a spacious, 750 square foot wrap-around terrace encircling the villa, there is ample room for up to a maximum of 8-12 guests. There are two ocean view master suites, each with king bed, 32" LCD TV, and direct terrace access. Each also has an ensuite all-travertine full bath with oversize showers, 8' twin vanities with granite countertops, separate water closets, dressing areas, and either a Synchrony garden tub or exercise area with fitness bike. The third bedroom has two full-size beds and two twins (bunks) for a total of 4 beds in this room, as well as an ensuite full bath, which is conveniently also hallway accessible. There is a comfortable queen sofabed in a semi-private living area alcove, yielding total sleeping accommodations for up to twelve.
Because of its spaciousness, intelligent floorplan, and quiet top floor location, Mer Sea truly has more the feel of a "home in the sky" than an ordinary condominium. The airy ambiance of a European coastal villa is enhanced by carefree design elements such as travertine and Italian tile flooring throughout, all with stunning blue ocean vistas as the perfect backdrop.
AMENITIES
A long list of amenities includes a fantastic contemporary kitchen with 10' curved bar, 6 LCD TVs (in each of the 3 bedrooms, both master baths, and a 55" Samsung in the living room), Blu-Ray DVD players and movie library with selections for all ages, free wireless high speed internet, high end furnishings, Synchrony garden tub, exercise area with stationary bicycle, large bedrooms and bathrooms, and ensuite laundry room. Four folding beach chairs (inside the condo) are also provided for your use. A separate closet contains a crib and a highchair. Access to the condo is via a modern roomy elevator; for the disabled, there are absolutely no steps either to the condo or to the pool and gulf-front restaurant (although a wide exterior staircase is available for those wishing to walk). Parking for three cars. Free daily beach service: set-up of 2 chairs and umbrella on the beach right in front of Mer Sea included, March 1-Nov 1. Four additional beach chairs for guests' use are located inside Mer Sea.
HIGH POINTE RESORT
The only true full-service gulf front resort in the area, High Pointe features a fantastic 7000 square foot tropical lagoon pool with islands and waterfalls, separate kiddie pool, large (20 ft) heated spa, lighted clay tennis courts, shuffleboard, outdoor grilling area, children's playground, a fabulous gulf front bar and grill, and of course 600 feet of private, pristine beach. Uniformed, professional, CPR-trained attendents service our beach March 1-October 31. Rosemary Beach, renowned for all its dining, shopping, biking, and entertainment opportunities, is only a very short stroll (500 feet) to the east, as is blossoming Alys Beach to the west. High Pointe is a tropically landscaped, very low density resort with a gated entrance from Florida Scenic 30A, and its facilities are for the exclusive private use of the guests.
EASY RESREVATIONS
Making a reservation is very easy, with most credit cards accepted and an excellent and very professional management service who leave your key right at the property (no need to "check in"), and who can also assist you during your stay. Just contact us any time if you have questions. (Contact information is near bottom of page.)

Thank you for all the wonderful accommodations to complement this fabulous view and beautiful penthouse! The hair dryers, baby crib, high chair and well-stocked pots, pans, dishes, blender, etc. were all much appreciated to enhance our visit. We wished for nothing and enjoyed everything! Enjoy!

The view from the terrace is specacular! We saw sea turtles, dolphins, and even a manatee! I've already filled out the form to reserve a week next year and we are already looking forward to it!

What a wonderful vacation we had here. This is our 7th year at High Pointe, and Mer Sea is our favorite by far. At least three meals were savored on the terrace, which is the best. Beautiiful sunsets and regular fly-bys by the pelicans, which took our breath away! This home away from home has been both peaceful and fun for our whole family. The Plantingas - Brentwood, CA

We always enjoy coming to the beach for a week. Mer Sea is beautiful. What a great condo! Not just a place to sleep but a place to truly relax and enjoy. Everything in the condo is inviting. What beautiful renovations you have made. Four adults and five kids with plenty of room! This area has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We had a great time.

Mer Sea is wonderful!! So tastefully decorated, so comfortable, and such amazing views. This was our first trip to this area and we definitely plan to return. We loved exploring Rosemary Beach and all the other charming and unique towns. But our favorite part was the gorgeous beach and the lagoon pool here, both of which our children loved! Mer Sea was the best choice we could have made for a home base - the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. We can't wait to come back and will definitely stay at Mer Sea again!

I want to write and thank you for sharing your beautiful "Mer Sea" with us. We spent the week lounging on the beach or hanging out on the terrace watching dolphins frolicking in the gulf...it was perfect! My husband and our 10 year old son took the kayak out and got up close and personal with some dolphins which was totally cool. Another highlight was snorkeling and seeing all kinds of different species of fish while being able to hear the dolphins communicating with each other...it was, as our son put it with a huge smile on his face, "AWESOME!" The steakhouse "Chops" was the only restaurant we dined out at and it was outstanding food and we highly recommend. We got lots of great pictures of the sunsets. Everyone at Sunburst was a pleasure to work with, as were you. We appreciate all that was done to make our trip so enjoyable. We will definitely be back and will recommend "Mer Sea" to all our friends and family. Take care! Many thanks, The McQuaids -Dallas, Texas

We enjoyed our stay at "Mer Sea". The sea & beach views were fantastic. This is a great base for walking tours of the area. "George's" restaurant is excellent. We hope to come back in the future. Thank you! the Stephensons -Yorkshire, England
