Carefree Cottage – Stunning Coastal Escape, Private Pool in Rosemary Beach
***VRBO Top Rated Home for 2025***
All your 30A vacay dreams come true at Carefree Cottage— a magnificent Rosemary Beach home with a soaring roofline resembling a modern fairytale castle. Carefree Cottage has a private pool, a gorgeous open layout, and dramatic swirls of spiral staircases leading up to the stunning rooftop terrace.
On the first floor, the wide-open great room features a huge wall of windows overlooking the pool. The living area is generous and comfy— with plush armchairs, an inviting sofa, and a built-in relaxation space next to the fireplace that’s the perfect place to catch an afternoon siesta. Crisp white beams frame the driftwood-inspired accents on the ceiling.
In the kitchen, an ample island has bar seating for four, a deep apron sink, dishwasher, ice maker and a microwave. There’s also a spacious stainless steel refrigerator, gas stove with a pot filler, and a double wall oven. There is easy access to the alfresco living area, outdoor kitchen, and barbecue area. Chances are your group will spend most of their time out here, lounging by the sun-drenched pool or having lunch at the outdoor dining table.
Three private, spacious bedrooms on the second floor provide plenty of peaceful sleeping space. On the second floor, the first bedroom has a king-size bed and a full ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has two twin-size beds. The third bedroom is the dazzling primary suite — complete with a luxurious king-size bed, glass desk, and balcony access. The spa-like ensuite primary bathroom has a double marble vanity and rainfall showerhead. There is also a cozy bunk area with twin-over-twin size beds in the hallway.
Climb the spiral staircase to the third floor and the fourth and final bedroom lair. This bedroom has a fun, loft-like feel with four twin-sized beds and beanbag chairs. There’s also a full bathroom with a double vanity. Outside through the French door is a stunning rooftop patio with a fire pit, pergola, and lounge chairs.
At Carefree Cottage, you’ll be tucked into a quaint Rosemary Beach neighborhood while also being within easy walking distance of bustling Barrett Square and some delicious cafes and eclectic boutiques. The Rosemary Beach walkover is a short walk or bike ride away. Carefree Cottage is like having your very own five-star luxury resort with all the conveniences, comforts, and privacy of home.
