Starburst's main living area has a 55 inch 1080p flat panel TV with DVR (for recording your favorite shows), access to hi-def channels, a Roku player (for free Netflix movies on demand) and also a DVD player and mini stero system. The 3rd floor master suite offers a 46 inch flat panel TV with access to hi-def channels and DVD player, the 2nd floor master suite offers a 40 inch flat panel TV and DVD player, and the two queen bedrooms each offer a 32 inch flat panel TV and DVD player. The house also offers super hi-speed wireless internet access (advertised by Mediacom as up to 15 Mpbs).

Starburst is located in the exclusive private, gated community of Waters Edge, which adjoins Rosemary Beach on the west side. The house is only one lot off the beach, and that lot is vacant so the views are excellent. You get the advantage of beach-front views for the lower beach-view prices.

Starburst sits atop a 30-foot bluff overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This beautiful home offers an unobstructed view of the Gulf's emerald green waters, has its own small private pool (which can be heated for a fee) and is conveniently located immediately adjacent to the community's path to the beach.

With five large bedrooms, four and one-half bathrooms and 10-foot ceilings, this luxurious beach home is perfect for 12 guests to sleep and unwind comfortably.

Here is a brief summary of Starburst's layout:

1st floor - entry foyer; 2 queen bedrooms with a shared bathroom; bunk room with its own bathroom

2nd floor - main living area; kitchen; dining area; powder room (half bath); gulf-side balcony; king master suite; small street-side balcony off king bedroom

3rd floor - a second king master suite; separate sitting room with wet bar and small refrigerator; gulf-side balcony

And now for a more complete description:

First floor: As you enter Starburst, you are welcomed into a beautiful slate quartzite foyer and hallway with 10 foot ceilings. There are two large queen-size guest rooms that share a large bathroom with tall, built-in bath cabinetry. Also on the first floor is a unique bunkroom for the kids, with a triple-decker built-in bunk and a separate built-in twin bed (a total of four full-length twin beds). The bunkroom boasts its own full bathroom with shower.

On the ground level exterior beachside of Starburst, you can enjoy the outdoors in the well-designed pool and sunbathing area, which is completely enclosed by a stucco privacy fence. The pool area has a gate opening directly onto the path to the beach walkover. Just step out of the gate onto the path, go about a hundred feet, and you are at the steps down to the Emerald Coast beach.

Second floor: The second floor of Starburst houses the main living area, kithen, dining area, half bath and one of the two king master suites. With lofty ten-foot ceilings, much of your vacation will be spent enjoying the main living area that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. The living area offers a 55' flat-panel TV with DVR, access to hi-def channels, a Roku player (for viewing free Netflix movies on demand), a DVD player, mini CD/stereo sound system, and comfortable furnishings to entertain or just kick-back. The main living area opens onto a private balcony, where you can enjoy those fabulous sunsets or become mesmerized by the Gulf's emerald green waters.

Starburst's gourmet kitchen is a culinary delight. You'll enjoy a free-standing kitchen work table and a custom, two-tiered, granite kitchen bar. Equipped with the best cookware, appliances, a built-in wine rack, granite countertops, stone slate backsplashes, and custom glass cabinetry, this large kitchen is spacious, visually pleasing and functional.

The second-floor master bedroom suite offers a king-size bed, 40' flat-panel TV and large private bathroom with walk-in double shower. Open the double French doors from the bedroom and step out to your own small private balcony.

Third floor: On the third floor of Starburst, you will find the second king master suite, along with a small separate sitting room equipped with a stone/slate wet bar, stainless-steel bar sink, and mini-refrigerator. Follow this room out to your own private third-story Gulf-side balcony, a terrific adult retreat for sunrise and sunset views. The third floor master suite boasts a large bedroom with a king bed and a 46' flat panel TV, hi-def channels and DVD player. The 3rd floor suite has it's own spacious bathroom with large garden tub and a separate walk-in shower.

Starburst sleeps 12 guests comfortably: two kings, two queens, and four full-length twin beds. Parking for three cars (one covered). Saturday to Saturday rental during high season. Non-smoking. No pets.

                        We have just returned from a great stay at the Starburst. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us and the living and sleeping areas were very comfortable. The kitchen and linens were well stocked. The location is perfect. Oceanfront with just a short walk to shops and restaurants in Rosemary and Alys. The kids loved the heated swimming pool and being able to run back and forth from the house to the beach on their own. Because the house is in a private neighborhood, the beach was less crowded than neighboring beaches. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. When the microwave broke while we were there, the owner arranged to have a new one delivered the next day. They even allowed us to stay past the checkout time to get one more day of sun in. We would definitely stay again and the kids are asking about next year's spring break!

                        We had a great family time at Starburst and our kids are looking forward to going back some time in the future. In the mean time we have mentioned the vacation to several of our friends and recommended it highly. The house was immaculate when we stayed there. I can't believe that you're making so many upgrades! Have a great holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

                        This house is breathtaking with the ocean views simply amazing! The house was very clean and well maintained. The photos were perfect! It was great to walk to the beach every day in 4 minutes ! We loved being able to walk to Rosemary Beach to all the activities. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!!

                        EXCEPTIONALl!.....if I had to choose one word to describe our stay at Sunburst it would be exceptional! The house was just as described in the listing.....a beautiful house with a beautiful view and all the amenities you would want for a comfortable, relaxing vacation! There was plenty of room for the 8 of us; wonderful kitchen for cooking with a view; great balcony for sunset dinner (or coffee in the morning!). The beach is the most beautiful beach in the world and the short walk to it is right out the back gate. The guys enjoyed watching pro football on the large screen tv in the living room....the girl's loved getting exercise by walking around Rosemary and shopping. It's close to a grocery store and to other areas like Seaside and Watercolor. But those areas are too commercialized to want to vacation there! We found Starburst to be THE perfect place for our vacation and will definitely come back next year.

                        Wow! Awesome views! Super close to the beach! It's an easy walk next door to Rosemary for restaurants (or shopping!). This is the cutest house with plenty of room for my big family. We loved the big TV and all the DVDs to watch the afternoon it rained. Since we were so close to the beach, we could easily pop back and forth to the house for lunch. So convenient! Can't wait to come back!

                        We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home-- perfect rooms to enjoy the beach and each other. There were four couples in our group and we had an amazing set up-- a fabulous kitchen to cook gourmet meals, huge TVs to watch football games, indoor or balcony dining space, a heated pool, ample room for relaxing after a day at the beach. The owners even provided sunscreen-- they thought of everything! The perfect location for a beach getaway!

                        I loved your home - the view from the kitchen is incredible. Would love to come next year - perhaps in June or July. I had never been to that area and we fell in love with the cute town and ability to walk everywhere.

                        The view was great and the location was wonderful! That said, the living area was very small, we had 6 adults and 3 small kids. The outside areas were also too small for our family to gather.

All of our other guests have been very comfortable in the home. We try very hard to make our home as comfortable and as nice as possible, and we continue to make improvements every year. The Owners

                        This home was even better than what we expected! The view was amazing. The home owner was very helpful in providing us with information regarding where to eat, what to see, ect, while in the area. The home was very clean and stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. Although the pool looks very small in the photo, it worked fine for all of our children ( ranging in ages from 3-10) at once. We always had all six of them in the pool, and at least an adult or two and it was large enough. We have stayed in the area for many years, and this is just about one of the nicest areas that you can rent in. It is a very secure neighborhood right next to Rosemary, where there is lots of great shopping, eating, ect. I would highly reccommend staying at Starburst. My family and I cannot wait to visit again. It was everything that we hoped it would be and more!

                      Year Purchased: 2004

                      About the owner: We love the beach and have been vacationing in this area for over 25 years.

                      Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
                      This area is so beautiful and so much less crowded than Destin and other over-built areas. And the restaurant, shopping and golfing choices are outstanding.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      The small private gated community of Waters Edge provides exclusive access to a beautiful wide white sand beach. Because the Waters Edge community is small, the density of people on the beach is low. Two of the best golf courses in Florida are practically next door. Camp Creek (a Tom Fazio course) is about 2 miles away and Shark's Tooth (a Greg Norman course) is about 5 miles away.
