Best house!

Every this about this house was high end. We have a group of 22 and we never ran out of dishes, cups or anything. Every bed was so comfortable. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this house was. I only have one thing that would make this house even better and they need to provide beach towels.

House is roomy, comfortable, and well appointed. Kitchen is stocked with ample dishes, cutlery, and cookware. Property is located on beautiful beach in a quiet, safe, relatively uncrowded area. As with most beach rentals, there were a few maintenance issues, the most annoying being the frequently out-of-commission hot tub controls. Property management was responsive but not always competent to solve the problems. The beach service was an especially welcome amenity.

Manta Ray

The house was amazing! The kitchen was well stocked. The floor plan was very well thought out and accommodated 8 adults and 8 children (10 and under). We loved the proximity to the beach and the fact that 8 chairs and 4 umbrellas were included and set up each day was a real plus.

Amazing!

We had 4 families stay for a week as a kind of family reunion with kids from 1 through 17. The house is huge and beautiful, plenty of room (and room configurations) for everyone to have their own space but large areas to gather for eating and games. The house is right on the beach and having the chair service provide beach chairs and umbrellas waiting for you each day is a game changer! Between the beach, pool and house, I think we only left to run to Publix for groceries (2 min drive). But restaurants or downtown Rosemary Beach is only a short drive away. We stayed on Rosemary beach before but found it very busy and prefer this beach. On our last night we had a bonfire/smores set up and it was a great way to end our trip:)
