About this property
Blue Heron Cottage & Carriage House— Luxurious beachy elegance at its best
What Guests Love
• Professionally designed • Private garage for 2 cars & parking pad for a 3rd • Gas grill & Green Egg • Viking appliances • 65 inch HDTV in living room w/ Apple TV & Sonos • HDTVs in all bedrooms • 15-second walk to the Sky Pool • 5-minute walk to the beach
Much like the majestic coastal bird it’s named for, Blue Heron Cottage & Carriage House is classic, elegant, and quintessentially Floridian. Filled to the brim with luxurious finishes— like hardwood floors, marble countertops, and Viking appliances— this serene 4-bedroom/4.5-bath retreat is located on an idyllic sun-kissed corner of Rosemary Beach. You’ll be steps away from the gorgeous Sky Pool and a short bike ride to the sandy beach.
Enter through the front door and into the open-concept, professionally decorated living space. Neutral sand tones and crisp whites are accented with pops of soothing navy blue. Painted wood beams highlight the high ceilings overhead. The glossy blue accents continue into the kitchen, where custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances create the perfect spot to brew the morning coffee or flip a stack of banana pancakes in the morning.
Upstairs are three private bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. The primary suite features a sumptuous king-size bed and a spa-like bathroom with a walk-in closet and a freestanding garden tub. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and a private bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The third bedroom includes a twin-over-twin-size bunk bed and a queen sized bed. There’s also a washer and dryer on this floor.
Just across the private courtyard lies the Blue Heron Carriage House. Although a part of the Blue Heron property, the carriage house offers a wonderful separation and feeling of space for large groups. The carriage house includes a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a full bathroom, a living area with a sleeper sofa, and a full kitchen. Charming white shiplap and nautical accent pieces add a lovely, beachy charm to this elegant space.
Blue Heron Cottage & Carriage House has lots of peaceful, sun-dappled outdoor space, too. Take your mug of coffee out to the wrap-around balcony in the mornings, or relax with a frosty courtyard cocktail in the late afternoon while burgers grill on the Green Egg. When you’re ready to explore Rosemary Beach, slip on your flip-flops and take a stroll— there are lots of options for dining and shopping right around the corner. Plus, the heated Sky Pool is across the street. And when you want to hit the beach, it’s a short bike ride across 30A to the sand.

Gorgeous home! Great location! We had an amazing time and would book this exact house again without reservation! My only suggestion is to replace pots and pans as teflon is very scratched.
Great experience; check in was easy, communication was smooth, the house was well equipped and a short walk to coffee, the beach, multiple pools, tennis courts and the fitness center. We were sad to leave and hope to return.
The location and the quality of the house truly exceeded our expectations. We are already making plans to return.

So glad to hear that you had a wonderful stay in the Blue Heron Cottage & Carriage House. We appreciate your business and look forward to having you stay with us again!
We rented the main house and carriage house and found it to be perfect for our party of 3 adult couples without kids and 1 couple with 2 kids. We had one minor service request that was fixed very quickly. The home is beautiful and location is great!

This home is beautiful! We especially enjoyed entertaining in the spacious chef’s kitchen and open floor plan. The enclosed patio was perfect for our shrimp boil where we entertained over 20 friends staying at other properties in Rosemary. We will definitely book this home again!

Blue Heron was the perfect house for our end of the summer vacation! The main house is extremely spacious & it’s wonderful that the carriage house is also included in the rental. The entire property was very clean & had everything we needed for the week. The walk to & from the beach was super easy as the house is conveniently located to several of the Rosemary Beach accesses. We would definitely stay at this property again!

We had a great weeklong trip to Rosemary Beach staying at the Blue Heron. The main house including the guest house comfortably fit 2 families with 4 kids under 4 years old. House was clean, bathrooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fenced in courtyard that felt safe having a bunch of little kids around. Close proximity to the beach, multiple neighborhood pools, splashpad and the main retail/restaurant area. Would highly recommend.

Great home with all amenities and good beds. Well appointed and conducive to home dining and entertainment. We hope to return!

Our family spent a week at the Blue Heron and had a blast. The house is just beautiful! Everything you could ask for was there. The kitchen is great for preparing meals. Location is about a five minute walk to the beach and about a five minute walk to the cabana pool. Only complaint was the gas grill really needs updating and the green egg needed cleaning out and new gaskets. Planning another visit there next year. Thanks to all for a great trip.

House was great for our two families. The kids really enjoyed watching movies in the carriage house while the adults cooked dinner in the main house. Right across the street from the covered pool, which was a nice place to cool off for one last swim after being in the sun at the beach all day.We had a tiny issue with the freezer, but management was responsive and all was fine.My one note to future renters would be that a full size SUV will not fit in the garage space. Luckily one family rented a minivan that fit and we parked the SUV adjacent to the garage.Great house, great location.

We appreciate your understanding with the freezer and are happy our team could assist quickly. We’d love to welcome you back again!

The decorated and functional house that we have ever stayed at. The location was perfect to get to the beach and stop at the pool on the short walk back. The location was also perfect to visit the merchants in downtown Rosemary. The house was well maintained and has many amenities like cooler, chairs, kids toys, umbrella and very usable courtyard that we all gathered at for morning coffee and evening happy hour. If it is available when we book again, we will definitely book the house again. The staff was also very good in their communication.

The Blue Heron Cottage is absolutely lovely! Everything from the gorgeous decor, the plush towels, comfy beds, and the wonderfully well equipped kitchen guaranteed a perfect first visit to Rosemary Beach. The location of the cottage across the street from the fitness center, indoor pool, and tennis courts was perfect for our active family. We loved walking for coffee (Amavida) and donuts (The Daughter's Kitchen) every morning. Having the bicycles that came with the house meant we almost never used our car. We can't wait to return to Rosemary Beach, and we would definitely rent the Blue Heron cottage again!

We had a great stay at the Blue Heron house in Rosemary. Everything was as described and the app was very helpful with any questions we had during the stay. The location is fantastic with easy access to the pools, beach, town center, and tennis. We really enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor grilling options provided. The space was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids under 8) and the carriage house was great for the grandparents. I would say be prepared to bring all oils and seasonings (yes even salt and pepper) as there is nothing provided. But overall we would highly recommend the Blue Heron Cottage and would definitely return.

This house felt just like home, well even better! The house is conveniently located within the Rosemary community, just across from Sky pool (our favorite!), the workout facility and a short path to gate C and the beach! The kids could also hop on the bikes to get donuts in the morning and give the adults a little more quiet coffee time outside by the water feature. We also really appreciated how well stocked and organized the house was with EVERY dish, serving platter and wine glass we needed for our big family dinners. 30A Luxury Vacations was also incredibly responsive and prompt to answer questions, requests and keep us informed about the house and community. We absolutely LOVED our stay with 30A LV at Blue Heron!
