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

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 and the property next door. 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. No more fighting over shows or remotes!

Each of the two kitchens (one in the first floor suite, the second in the main home) 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 (heat optional with additional fee). This area is complete with sun loungers to soak up the Vitamin D, and an alfresco dining table, perfect for your poolside snacks and drinks.

On the day when you simply must feel the sand between your toes, it’s a short, easy walk to your private beach access. From there, enjoy the day on the sugar white sand and crystal clear Gulf water.

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.

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!

Great property and great location

As close to beachfront as you can get without beachfront. Beach access was confusing, we ended up using two different neighbors access - they never yelled at us, but would have been good to now it was allowed.

Awesome location and very neat property

Wonderful place to stay for large family group

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while in Santa Rosa beach area. The beach house was super spacious with plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms for our group of 15. This property is beautiful and offers plenty of parking! It was so nice having the private beach access and also the pool! We LOVED the rooftop deck, which offered plenty of seating and tables for eating if desired. You can’t beat the view! We had one very minor shower drain issue and maintenance responded super fast, within a few hours. We loved staying here and highly recommend it!

Beach vacation for large family with 12 grandkids.

This was an idea location for us. It was steps to the beach, restaurants, and bike rentals. It was an older property. But fairly well maintained. Would have preferred that the mother in law suite had been connected but it was fine as it was. We are wanting to go back and are rebooking. Hopefully we can make this a yearly vacation.

All You Need

This rental is so convenient. It had ample bedrooms and bathrooms and 2 living rooms as a bonus. So close to the beach. Sure, there are a lot of steps to traverse, but a good way to get in some needed exercise for free. Pool was nice and my family enjoyed all the swim time together. Overall, this property is a great deal for all the space and so close to beach. Highly recommended for any large families!

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Plenty of room and bathrooms for all 16. The rooftop is a real treat to dine, dance and spectacular views of ocean. 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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.

Overall a great stay

The house was great for our group needs. I had been notified that the dishwasher needed to be replaced, which was fine, but that meant we didn’t have water or some electric for several hours after checking in. Paid to have the pool heated only to find out they set it at 69 degrees so it wasn’t doing anything. Luckily my husband figured out how to change the setting. The front door of the main house wouldn’t securely lock and a vacuum would’ve been helpful to clean up after the beach. Other than that we had great communication from the management company and the house couldn’t have been in a better location! Would stay again and recommend!

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.
