A fabulous almost gulf-front home in an exclusive private gated community, Starburst 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 is a spectacular Caribbean-style beach home that sits atop a 30-foot bluff overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This luxurious beachfront home is designed and furnished for ultimate relaxation. It is ideal for those who appreciate the finer things of life, including an unobstructed view of the Gulf's emerald green waters. With its own private pool and convenient access to the community's beach walkover, you will feel revitalized both during and after your stay in this magnificent beach home. Starburst is located in the private gated community of Water's Edge adjoining Rosemary Beach.
With five over-sized bedrooms, and four and one-half lavish bathrooms, this innovative 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 and a shared bath; 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 deluxe, 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. This kid-friendly space has a unique triple-decker built-in bunk and a separate built-in, twin bed (a total of four 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 your own 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 large flat panel TV with built-in DVD player, 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, in both space and functionality. A huge, custom, two-tiered, granite island seats four comfortably. Equipped with the best cookware, stainless-steel appliances, a built-in wine rack, granite countertops, stone slate backsplashes, and custom glass cabinetry - this ultimate kitchen will please both the eye and the palate.
The second-floor master bedroom suite offers a plush king-size bed 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 separate small 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-front deck, which overlooks the beach and the amazing Gulf of Mexico, a terrific adult retreat for sunrise and sunset views. The third floor master suite boasts a large bedroom with a king bed and it's own spacious bathroom with large soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower.
Each of the five bedrooms in Starburst has its own quiet ceiling fan, perfect for those lazy evenings that you want to welcome the ocean air into your private sleeping spaces.
Starburst sleeps 12 guests comfortably: two kings, two queens, and four twin beds. Parking for three cars (one covered). Saturday to Saturday rental during high season. Non-smoking. No pets.

Why the Owner Chose Rosemary Beach
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 Luxury Beachfront Home
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.
