We just came back from a week in Ross's amazing house. One of the criteria I have for a five-star review is the memories we come back with; and my that standard, this place is off the charts.

It is very well-appointed and offers multi-family guests the opportunity for intimate gatherings but also privacy for downtime. The kitchen is spectacular and comfortable for many cooks to prepare several dishes at the same time. High end appliances such as a Viking stove and Dacor microwave spoke to the tastefulness of the house. We loved being able to fit 15 people around the massive table-- something I really appreciate and value. The two dishwashers came in very handy for cleanup. The french doors from the kitchen lead to a beautiful porch with comfortable seating. Early risers could sip on coffee while being serenaded by the ocean. Perfection.

The location is fabulous. Close enough to walk to Rosemary Beach for food and treats, but quiet enough to be away from the crowds. A Publix is a few miles away for last minute grocery needs.

The beds were all comfortable as were the quality linens. Ample space in the three king-size bedrooms made the adults very happy. The bunk room made a lot of cousins very very happy. By far, the heated pool area is one of the best we've seen on 30a. Completely private and surrounded by lush vegetation, the lighting at night adds to the serenity. The grill and prep area is a nice touch even though we did not have an opportunity to use those features.

Most of all, Ross is a consummate host-- responsive and gracious. Christmas 2015 will live in our hearts for a long time, much thanks to Sea Zen! Thank you, Ross!
