OUTDOOR LIVING
The pool deck is where the vacation actually lands. The pool is large enough that 16 people never crowd it, and the deck has enough space that nobody has to move chairs to make room. Evenings organize themselves where the grill goes on, while someone chills in the water, and the 2nd-floor shared balcony catches the last of the Gulf light for a nightcap.
- Heated saltwater pool - Pool heating available for $45/day + tax - Propane grill - Outdoor shower - Gulf glimpses from the 3rd-floor balcony
LIVING AREA
Three floors across 3145 sq. ft. of living space means no one is ever on top of each other - the teenagers can claim a level, the little ones or remote working bees have their corner, and the adults actually get to finish a conversation. The layout is open and airy, the A/C is reliable even in August, and every bedroom has its own fan for guests who run warm.
- Open-plan living across 3 floors - Shared balcony access on the 2nd & 3rd floors - Central A/C throughout; ceiling fans in every bedroom - Dedicated work space with desk, ergonomic chair and double monitors in the 3rd floor nook
KITCHEN & DINING
The kitchen is well stocked, organized, and built for the kind of trip where someone's planning a Gulf seafood boil for the full group. Bring the groceries - everything else is here.
- Full kitchen with all major appliances, including a gas range and a separate wine fridge - Dining - dining table for 10, island seating for 3, additional bar seating for 3 - Coffee - dripping and Keurig combo for everyone to get caffeinated - Wet Bar - whip up some holiday drinks to share at the pool deck
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
Six bedrooms across 3 floors - configured so families or multiple couples each get their own space, and the sleeping math actually works out.

30A LIFESTYLE & LOCATION
Walk east and Alys Beach takes a few minutes — the white Mediterranean architecture, the Green where the evening crowd gathers without needing a reason. Walk west, and Rosemary Beach gives you Barrett Square for dinner or a morning coffee, and the kind of village energy that makes people add a night to their trip.
The Timpoochee Trail runs the length of 30A and connects straight through — Seaside is west, the Saturday Farmers Market is reason enough to be on a bike by 9am, and Grayton is a longer ride for when the group wants to go further. The 6 included bikes are not a nice-to-have. They're the point.
- Pool heating is available for $45/day + tax, please arrange at least 24 hours before arrival so the water is ready when you are - The door from the living area to the pool deck has an audible safety alarm — it's an intentional, legally required safety feature, and worth knowing about before the first morning, so it doesn't catch the group off guard - Beach chair setup is seasonal: March 1 through October 31. Outside this window, chairs are not set up - Gulf views are glimpses — visible from the 3rd-floor balcony looking south; the pool deck and lower floors face the neighborhood - WiFi & Connectivity - Like much of coastal 30A, Rosemary Beach sits in a low-signal corridor where connection speeds can be inconsistent — regardless of how upgraded the equipment is. This home is set up with the best available, but if reliable connectivity matters for your stay (remote work, video calls), pack a personal hotspot as a backup - The bunk room has two twin-over-full bunks (twin on top, full on the bottom) with ladder access — a consistent hit with kids; comfortable for adults who don't mind a cozy climb - Parking for 5 vehicles within the gated community; no trailers or additional street parking

This was a family trip for us. Our son and daughter and their spouses plus another son and my wife’s sister. The sleeping accommodations were perfect with multiple beds left over. The pool was larger than most this close to the gulf. The private beach was fantastic and not crowded at all in our section. The beach setups worked perfectly for us. The location between Alys Beach and Rosemary make it a very easy walk to both. We will certainly look for Sandy Shores on future trips.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love hearing about families making memories together, and it sounds like Sandy Shores was a great fit for your group. We're so glad everyone had plenty of room to relax and that you enjoyed the pool, private beach access, and beach setup service.
The location really is hard to beat, with both Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach just a short walk away. We're thrilled to hear that Sandy Shores checked so many boxes for your family vacation.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another beach trip in the future!
Wonderful family vacation. House was within short walking distance to the beach, had plenty space for our group of 11 people, loved having bikes included.

Location of this house is perfect! Just a short walk from restaurants and shops at both Alys and Rosemary beach. House has a well stocked kitchen for cooking and food prep, bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms also nice. With a group of 11 ladies, we never had an issue with hot water but would have benefitted from more mirrors around the house for getting ready. Beach access was so convenient and the pool was very enjoyable! Would absolutely stay here again.

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
We loved the house! Had everything we needed and more. The best part is the private beach and chair set up. Everyone had a wonderful time with plenty of space!

We really enjoyed our stay in this rental. The check in process was very simple, and the place was nice and clean. We had 3 family and the rooms and bathrooms are all a nice size and it was very comfortable. We typically like to stay on the beach, but this was as good as it gets not being right on the beach. The beach walk was very close, and the chair setup was so convenient.

This was our second time staying at this property. However I would not stay here again. The home is very run down and in need of paint both inside and outside. The furniture and rugs felt dirty even though I know it was cleaned and vacuumed. The location is great but the home has not been maintained.

Thank you for returning to stay with us and for sharing your honest feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your most recent experience at As Good as it Gets didn’t meet expectations. Your comments about the paint, furniture, and overall condition of the home are important, and we’re addressing them with our property care team. While we’re glad you enjoyed the location, we regret that the home’s condition affected your stay—and we appreciate the opportunity to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.
We had the best time and felt the name of the house was spot on! Great location and house was spacious, clean, and we really enjoyed the pool! The beach set up was awesome and we loved using the bikes provided to explore the gorgeous area. Heads up on the alarm on the door that goes out to the pool. It was really loud and annoying but I understand it’s purpose. We would definitely book it again!

Overall, a positive experience. The house was clean; the check-in and out process seamless. The internet, however, was exceptionally spotty. As, unfortunately, my husband and I both worked for a significant part of the trip, this was frustrating. But I would still highly recommend the property.

Overall, the stay was amazing. The place was spotless and perfect for 4 couples all celebrating anniversaries. The convenience of having bikes at the property and chairs set up each day was perfect for us, coming from out-of-state. Having a code to e get the community, the property, and the beach area was so much better than having a key. Any small “hiccups” we had (ice maker, trouble navigating cable networks, and dirty pool) were addressed and either handled or noted.
The beach was beautiful, and access to shopping was easy. After each hot day, it was nice to come back to a house with a great a/c unit. Having fans in each room was a definite plus.
We left with great memories, and we will definitely return!

We had such a great time staying at the house. There were 9 of us and it had plenty of space. The extra fridge in the kitchen was a little weird…looked like it came from the owner’s garage but we used it well. Location is perfect. Walk to the beach was easy. Only strange thing that happened this week was when another renter on the street crashed their SUV through the front gate…destroying it. Apparently there was either a famous person or politician with private security staying in a house at the end of street. Not sure how or why they crashed through the gate but would have been good to have a security officer in vehicle parked up front because with no operating gate had random people driving through the street.
