We stayed at Bella Cottage in 2020 and it looks as good as it did 5 years ago! Loved the upgraded Samsung Frame tv’s in almost every room. The location is perfect, walking distance to Rosemary and Peddlers. Our kids love the bunk room! Having access to a garage is great, and love the pool/hot tub.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Bella Cottage is a wonderful oasis at the beach. Beautifully appointed and close to everything. Bunk room on 3rd floor sleeps 6 and was perfect for the kids. Even had its own living room and TV! Kitchen had everything you’d need and the gas grill off the dining room worked well. Private pool and spa was a definite bonus. The 30A management team was responsive and communicated well. We will certainly return.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear Bella Cottage was the perfect oasis for your beach getaway. It’s great that the third-floor bunk room worked so well for the kids, and that the separate living space gave everyone room to spread out and relax. We're also happy to hear the kitchen, gas grill, and private pool with spa added to the experience—and that our team’s communication helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable.

Great House at on Beach side of 30A in Rosemary Beach

My family of six and I stayed here in late September 2020. We loved the house. The pool was great. I loved the open floor plan on the 2nd level where we all hung out, did puzzles, watched movies. We enjoyed all the outdoor spaces and ate dinner every night on the porch. Great location near one of Rosemary's pools. Also the communication and responsiveness from the management company was excellent.

Great location. Pictures and description need to be updated.

Overall, I’d give the property a three – 3 1/2 star rating. The pictures provided online looked great, but once in the property did not match. Furniture was missing, stove three burners weren’t working. Multiple shower doors didn’t close. But did have plenty of towels and toilet trees provided. Walk-in showers were missing tile grout, drain cover was unscrewed, calcium buildup in the corners. Would not pay a premium to be that close again if the pictures of the actual property had been uploaded online. But overall location was great. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen overall was missing half of the pots and pans utensils. No shades on upper windows on third floor or the door providing sunlight at 5:45 in the morning blazing heat in the afternoon. Ended up having to buy a sheet and additional pillows to cover the windows as best we could.

Wonderful location and very professional management company

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful long weekend in Bella cottage. The house was exactly as described. Upon request, the management company responded immediately to repairs. Bella cottage is clean and maintained, but is in need of some TLC. The exterior steps and areas around the pool could use some pressure washing and landscaping could use some tidying up, considering the price of this unit. The master bedroom, though the thermostat is set on 68 stays warmer than the rest of the rooms and both my husband and I were very warm during the night. We had teenagers with us, and there is zero soundproofing in this house. They were upstairs on the third floor and we could hear everything on the first floor in the master bedroom. Outside of that, the home is lovely, the cleaning crew does a beautiful job of making sure things are nice and neat when you arrive and the location is exceptional!

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your long weekend at Bella Cottage and appreciated the cleanliness, prompt service, and unbeatable location. Your feedback about the outdoor areas, landscaping, and temperature control in the master bedroom is very helpful—we’ll be sure to pass it along to our team for review. We also understand how important sound insulation can be and appreciate you sharing that insight. We’re grateful for your kind words and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay in the future.

Perfect location and beautiful house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this home is perfect, a few minutes walk to the beach and steps from the shops at Seacrest Beach and ‘downtown’ Rosemary. Our favorite part of the beach has always been Walkover I because it is less crowded. The balconies and pool are great, one of the only heated pools we’ve had in Rosemary that we didn’t have to have someone come out to turn on. The kids floor’ on the 3rd floor is perfect with 4 beds, 2 trundles, and a tv room and bathroom. It is a bit noisy at night on the street right outside of the master bedroom and this is a fairly expensive property to not have a dedicated parking spot, but hoping this is resolved when the garage construction is completed. Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We can’t say enough wonderful things about the house! Great location, loved all the balconies. We had a wonderful stay. My only complaint is that the kids room doesn’t have any blinds so they were up literally as the sun was coming up 😂. The only other thing is I wish we could control the temperature in the spa. It’s connected to the pool and so by the time we got in it the entire pool was way too hot to swim. If we could have turned it down or off until we got in it it would have been perfect. Sadly we couldn’t even use it!That being said, we already booked our stay for next year! Just two notes I wanted to give!

Great family vacation

It is a thgreat home close to shops and restaurants, pool, and beach. The only issues I have to say are minor but you need to consider these things when spending your money and if these things matter or not. I would rather have stayed in Aly's Beach in a brand new home without the minor issues from this home. So here are the issues: The pool heater did not work until the day we were leaving (on the 5th day), the kitchen pots/pans/etc are old, the door handles are also old and can easily come off when someone tries to shut the doors to the patios, my husband had to fix the master bed because when I laid down the bed went down (thank goodness my husband is strong and knows how to fix everything). I want to be honest and let you know before renting. All depends what you really want in a rental vacation home....if you want a new property I would reconsider, if you like older homes this is perfect for your stay and it's great location to everything.

Bella Cottage Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the property was okay to fine. The house definitely needs some tending to. Walls beat up, couch and living room rug seemed very used, decorations/art not great. The general interior furniture and items in the house are not what we usually see and expect in Rosemary especially for this price point (we have rented houses for the last 10 years). No Tupperware for fridge storage. Blender had a strange plug that could not be utilized. When we arrived we found the garage door broke which we were not advised about in advance. I own a rental home in Park City which is why I am providing this feedback as I would want to know as the owner. Also, the minimal kitchen paper towels and toilet paper were annoying as there should be enough basic supplies provided for the # of people and length of stay. would only recommend to a friend with these caveats at this price point.

Nice Stay in Rosemary

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My overall review of the property is positive. The house was clean and in a great location. It was perfect for a trip for my daughter’s birthday. We had 3 adults and 7 teenagers. The loft was perfect for the girls. With the other bedrooms on the bottom floor we could not hear them. The management company was very responsive and helped with our requests immediately. The house was stocked really well except for no wine glasses. We also requested a cork screw which the management company provided. The pool and hot tub area was nice. Bonus that there are gates to the pool so no pool alarm in the house!Know before you go- The house does not appear to have been updated. It’s definitely showing some wear and tear. There is no icemaker which was surprising at that price point. The furniture in the living room is not up to Rosemary par. However, for our purposes the property worked great.
