About this property

Huge Rooftop Deck, Private Pool, DEEDED Beach Access and Bch Chair Svc INCL!

Please be aware that there will be construction on the property next door, currently estimated to take place from mid-August 2025 through late 2026.
During this time, construction vehicles may be parked in front of the property. However, there will still be space for up to 5 mid-sized vehicles to park at the property—3 spaces in the back and 2 in the front.
We appreciate your understanding and want to ensure you’re aware of this in advance. If you have any questions regarding parking or your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

You’ll never want to leave Above It All, our Gulf-Front Home with Pool & Roof Deck!

*New for 2025, Above It All has private deeded beach access to 130 feet of our crystal white sandy beaches. This was a sporadic issue in 2024 as reflected in one of our reviews. This has now been resolved as the same owner now owns both properties. This provides our guests access to a large, private, dedicated beachfront space. The home directly in front of us, named A Winterpast by the Sea, is directly beachfront and can be booked in addition to this home for large groups. Both homes share the same 130 feet of beach usage (which is PLENTY of space to stretch out and enjoy the water) and stairs down to the beach. If you are interested in Above it All's sister listing, you can find it by searching the map (subject to availability, of course).

** Beach Chair Service Included For The 2025 Season (Mar-Oct)! 2 Chairs & An Umbrella!
** Beach towels included with every rental!

A beautifully stylish living room is a great place to hang out together, planning adventures and reliving magical vacation moments!
This elegant space offers abundant natural light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a huge comfy wrap around couch and furnishings and decor in the soothing colors of the sand and sea. The gas fireplace provides a cozy ambiance for that rare cool evening, while the wall-mounted HDTV w/WiFi is perfect for streaming your favorite shows on a relaxing night in.

A second complete living room in the first floor suite is ideal for a large crowd, with plenty of comfy seating, coffee and end tables for drinks and snacks, and another wall-mounted TV.

Each of the two kitchen offer pristine white cabinets and counters, trendy white subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The family chefs can team up to prepare delicious meals for the whole group!
Those culinary creations can be savored together at either the dining table for 12 in the main home or the peninsula bar for 3 and dining table for 4 in the suite.

First is the large, private gated pool. This area is complete with sun loungers to soak up the Vitamin D perfect for your poolside snacks and drinks. On the days when you simply must feel the sand between your toes, it’s a short, easy walk to your private beach access.

It’s the private rooftop deck that makes you truly feel Above It All. This fourth-floor deck offers stunning forever views of the Gulf of Mexico. Drink in the exquisite aquamarine water while seated at the tiki bar, enjoying your favorite beverage. The gas grill and alfresco dining table make it easy to have dinner at the best seat in the house.

Great Location, Good Home, Not Great Responsiveness

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: Our group of 14 fit well in this property and the proximity to the Beach was close and as advertised by the advertisement. Unfortunately, there were several areas where the Blue Swell management group underperformed. There were several minor to medium inconveniences and the company always received our questions/concerns, but did NOT communicate well as to whether or when they would address our concerns. Indeed, while this is minor, the pool lights did not work the entire trip.

Memorial Week Family Trip

Great house for a large family trip! Plenty of bedrooms and spacious dining area for entertaining. It was so nice to have our own pool and to be steps away from the sand. We enjoyed dinners and sunset cocktails on the roof. There are a ton of stairs- so just keep that in mind when travelling with older adults. We were walking distance to goatfeathers seafood market and bought fresh seafood for dinner each night. We will definitely be back. Only complaint was some minor cleaning oversights in the bedrooms but nothing to deter us from coming back!

No complaints on check in and kitchen. The goodie bag was a great touch/thought however the snacks were expired. Upon arrival, everything looked clean. During our stay, it was evident there is a pest problem. Additionally, we didn’t really have any cleaning supplies to use during our stay and the vacuum barely worked. The layout is nice, however with little toddlers that can open doors, the main level did not have a way to lock the front doors from the inside. That was problematic for us. The location and views were fantastic. Nobody came to clean the pool during our stay, which was a bummer. When we did have issues, maintenance responded quickly. Had the property been a bit cleaner, pest free and had someone came to clean the pool I would've given a higher rating.

When we arrived to the property it was very run down, dirty, bugs on the floor, pool was dirty, chandelier had just fallen out of the ceiling in the dining room, and there were several maintenance issues going on located on the exterior. I would suggest this host to anyone as he is refusing to return our money. He walked in and knew it was dirty. Our feet with no shoes in the living area had dirt all over them. This house need to be given some major love prior to being rented out in this price range.

Beach Get Away

Overall, the trip was great! The house was very nice but did have a lot of stairs. The basement apartment was separate from the main part of the house and one of the bed rooms in the basement did not cool well. Other than that, the house was great! We would stay there again.

Fabulous View!

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our week at “Above it All”. The private beach access was wonderful. The location (about halfway between the town centers of Rosemary Beach and Seaside) was ideal. The views were fabulous from the main living area and the rooftop patio. We could walk to excellent coffee and ice cream. Management was very responsive to minor issues - even on New Year’s Day! Our only warning is for families with elderly grandparents. Those steep stairs to and from the main house were very scary after a few cocktails. Maybe let the teenagers stay in the separate quarters on the 1st floor. Overall, still loved it!

Awesome location and very neat property

20 of us stayed during Christmas vacation and everyone enjoyed the stay. Beach is awesome, property is very clean. Checkin n checkout process is very easy. I got very prompt responses for my enquiries. Not able to use the pool due low temperatures during the stay.

Family Vacay for 10

Great experience! Beautiful home. Upon arrival we realized that the bottom floor of the house was detached from the rest of the house with a separate entrance. So our grandchildren had to separate for bedtime:( we made out but were disappointed we couldn’t all be together. Will pay closer attention to discription next time.

Great beach access and pool was perfect for early morning swims and late afternoon. Was not aware that the downstairs apartment was not accessible to main house but did provide an entire different kitchen and den to spread out. We would absolutely go back.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For the amount of people we had, the hot water was not sufficient.We were never told about the beach behind our house was private. We would have to walk along the water line and find a public beach.Our code changed at 930 locking my daughter out of the downstairs apartment, trying to find someone to help us on Jan 1, was not easy.

Great trip!

We enjoyed our stay at Above it All. The pictures accurately represent the house and the views from the rooftop deck are great! We also loved the easy walk to the beach. Pool was heated to the perfect temperature and our 5 kids and 6 adults loved it! Mattresses were comfortable and the house was clean and neat. The house is very pretty and location to the beach is super convenient for families. Minor issues: we stayed 4 nights in Dec. There were weddings next door 3/4 nights and the reception music was an issue for the toddlers and old people in our group who go to bed early. Very few drinking glasses-we bought a stack of solo cups. Our access code expired 2 hours prior to check out so that was a little bit of a hassle and involved several phone calls to be able to get back into the house. Overall, definitely recommend and we would absolutely go back!

False advertisement

The property itself was great for a large group EXCEPT for the advertisement that this includes BEACH ACCESS. Technically, it allows you beach access, but only to the neighbors' beachfront property/beach. They are not willing to let you use THEIR beach. After a very lengthy conversation with the neighbor, she allowed us to use HER beach - a small corner for the 15 of us (5 young grandchildren and 10 adults). Granted this is within her right, but the false advertisement by property listing is deceitful. Additionally we were subjected to about 90 minutes of the neighbor's monologue describing the legal situation regarding the beach and were showed a binder of her legal dealings with the county of Walton. I wish I was making this up, but we were even showed an official survey report the second day of our stay. Bottom line -- the listing is not as advertised. Expect to walk to the public beach if you are staying here - a 7 minute walk without beach gear. We were told by the neighbor that this property owner/management are well aware of this situation. This is reflected in our rating of the property.

SO close to beach access

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: The house was great for our extended family of 10 adults and 8 children ... plenty of bed space. It was challenging to go up and down so many stairs, but we made it work. I might suggest offering at least one baby gate (I have one in my home that detaches easily if not needed) for safety. The pool wasn't used (October) but if not for the extra charge for heating it, we would have enjoyed it. Also you might change the pool lights at night to something other than red ... looked odd. Easy access to the beach which was great, but designated chairs on the sand (like the two adjacent houses had) would have been great. Most of us flew in and couldn't bring beach equipment (although available for rent nearby). The large kitchen table held us all, but there wasn't much prep area without an island. Might need a larger sectional sofa to accommodate the number of people that the house holds. Just a few suggestions, as overall the house suited the needs of 18.

Very Nice, except…

The view was exceptional. The location near the beach was excellent. The rooftop deck was fun. The heated pool was great every afternoon. There were plenty of dishes, pots and pans , glasses and kitchen appliances ( crockpot, toaster, 2 kinds of coffee pots and a blender). Beds were comfortable. The mother-in-law suite was completely separate from the rest of the house so the family members staying there felt a little bit separated from family activities at times. We were pleasantly surprised to find a high chair and 2 baby gates in the upstairs closet. We wished there were nicer beach chairs and sand toys for the kids. While these items were not listed as being provided, previous occupants had left some which was nice but some of the chairs were rusted and sand pails had holes in them. Our main issue was bugs. The Palmetto bugs greeted us each day in our shower and in the kitchen. The management was quick to respond to our calls and did come and spray in the kitchen one day. But the bugs returned everyday following the spraying which leads us to wonder about the cleanliness.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Tom Fox1 reviewjust nowNEWOur stay at Above It All was wonderful. The house handled the 17 of us without difficulty. Being just one house off the beach made it easy to go back-and-forth from the house to the beach. The beach was not crowded and there was plenty of room to spread out. The main kitchen had a huge dining table with multiple chairs. There is a balcony to sit outside on the second and third floors but the most impressive thing about the house was the rooftop. Although not directly on the beach, the view from the rooftop was second to none. There was plenty of room for all 17 of us to gather for dinner with a grill, TV, and a couple of refrigerators on the rooftop. The full moon over the ocean on our first night was beautiful. The swimming pool was also great with lots of room. The gate to the pool locked in a manner that small children could not wander into the pool area without an adult. We had a few minor issues which were handled in a timely manner. Management was very responsive. I would rent this unit again in a heartbeat.Photo 1 of 2Photo 2 of 2

A great stay with just a few small inconveniences

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: Overall, the property is perfectly situated with direct beach access and plenty of parking. The bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious. The living and dining area were both excellent for our family. The private pool was a good size and an excellent amenity to the property. The rooftop area was fantastic with an amazing view; great for enjoying time with family at the end of the day. There were only a few *minor* inconveniences that we ran into.First, the In-Law Suite on the ground floor is not accessible from anywhere inside the house. You have to exit the front door on the second floor, then walk down the stairs and walk to the side of the house to enter the suite. A staircase inside the house would be ideal.Next, the primary kitchen could benefit from more countertop space. Without that (perhaps with an island), food prep for a large family of 8 adults and 7 children is somewhat challenging. However, the dining table is more than adequate.The placement of the refrigerator prevents the freezer door from being completely opened - it hits the wall and can only open halfway. Also, both the refrigerator and dishwasher show signs of wear/age and that they may need to be replaced soon. General food storage options in the kitchen were extremely limited. More open storage options (empty cabinets, etc) would be a great addition.Again, these really proved to be minor inconveniences rather than issues and in no way made our stay any less enjoyable than it was.
