Home Sweet Home: A Note From The Homeowner- For over a decade, our family has enjoyed 30A, from WaterColor to Seacrest, but Rosemary Beach holds a special place in our hearts. Its welcoming atmosphere, stunning beaches, and relaxed vibe invite you to slow down and enjoy life. We love being able to walk to great restaurants and shops. We designed our home as a true retreat, a place to reconnect, relax, and make lasting memories. With plenty of space for everyone, it’s a perfect blend of comfort and privacy, so no one ever feels cramped. Whether recharging or spending time together, we hope you find it as special as we do.

The home is beautifully decorated and in a great location, just a few blocks from Rosemary restaurants and retail. Also close to the Rosemary Racquets Club. The pool was much smaller than expected, but the beautiful community pool is just around the corner. We loved the home!

Exceptional Property

We have booked properties in Rosemary for many years. This stay was by far our favorite. The house is so well maintained with a fantastic layout for families. So much attention to detail including high end appliances, beach towels, bikes, etc. In addition, the agency handling the rental was incredibly responsive and helpful. We will most definitely look to book this property again!

Beautiful property

We loved the house. Rosemary is a beautiful beach area. We were disappointed not to have use of double garage for parking. One trash can was completely full and no where could we find trash pick up days or procedure posted (that would have been nice to know). Small issues that didn’t dampen our good time. Would definitely recommend.

Barbara, we are happy to hear you had a nice stay at Harp's Haven. Harp's Haven is a beautiful home with a great location in Rosemary Beach. We apologize for your disappoint of the garage situation. One side is not for guest use which is why on Harp's Haven's property page on our website under the 'home highlights' section, it states 'Single Car Garage Available to Guests.' Typically all information that you need during your stay lives in our GLAD To Have You app which you are prompted to download as soon as you book. There you will find an abundance of information about the property, neighborhood, and community. Thank you for letting us know that the trash pickup information is not in there. We will get it updated so that it can help future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

It was super clean and came with a few things to get us started with laundry and dishes. The pool is small and more like a hot tub. We figured out how to turn the temperature up on it so that was nice haha. Also there’s an alarm that goes off nonstop and we also figured out how to pause that for our stay. Overall an amazing place in a great location!! Right by all the shops and restaurants in Rosemary!

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 stayed here in June for a large family vacation. The home was wonderful! Beautiful finishes, great layout, plenty of room for everyone. We loved the large kitchen that was off the pool patio. We spent a lot of time there together. Having the carriage house as part of the rental is great too. The house had 8 nice bikes. Easy bike ride to town and the beach. We loved how each room had its own full bathroom! There are two washer and dryers in the main home and the carriage house. The kitchen has an ice maker which was awesome for drinks and coolers! The kitchen has plenty of dishes, utensils etc., but bring your own seasonings, cooking oils and such. They give you starters for everything (dish soap, laundry soap, trash bags...) but we brought extras too. The service company was very responsive too. We absolutely would stay here again!! 5 stars!

Great house, but a few issues

The house is great, but upon arrival we were surprised that the pool is so small. We’ve had small pools at Rosemary, but this was the size of a hot tub so no swimming possible for our kids. We utilized the community pools. The worst part for me was the dirty shower in the first floor master. There was soap from the previous renters and a large hairball in the corner of the shower. I called to get it taken care of and was told “we are having trouble getting someone over there.” I’m not sure anyone ever came because I had to clean it up myself. The coffee pot had coffee from the previous stay as well. I just would expect better attention to cleaning such a beautiful home. The layout was awesome, the beds were great, and I loved all the seating in the kitchen. The large porch swing is nice too. There are several bikes which is nice, but many had almost flat tires. Overall, a great house in a good location, but it could use a little more attention to these issues.

Terrible House

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOUSE! This was the worst place we have ever stayed! I booked this house for our annual vacation and specifically wanted a pool. We were a group of 10 and it was really important to have a pool for everyone to hang out…when we arrived at the house, at first glance, I truly thought I was looking at a fountain, but to my surprise, my daughter stated that it was in fact the “pool”. Because I have visited Rosemary several times, I am well aware that the pools are not huge, but this is utterly ridiculous, the “pool” is smaller than a hot tub! I measured it as 4’ X 8’..it is disgusting and dishonest that anyone would market this house as having a “pool”, it is a dark and dirty hole, NOTHING like the ALTERED pics that they put online..Furthermore, on the drive to the house, I received a text warning me that the house has a pool alarm mandatory under FL law.. so every time you open the door out to the backyard, an alarm goes off.. there is a button inside the house that you press and it gives you 10 seconds to open and close the door.. the PROBLEM arises when you want to come back into the house because the homeowners have decided to save a dollar and not install a button outside of the house.. so every time you need to come back in, someone has to be in the kitchen to press the button, otherwise, the loudest most ear piercing alarm will go off, which freaked out our dogs! I feel sorry for anyone who rents this home!DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Hi Helen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify a few points for the sake of transparency for future guests. First and foremost, we do not edit or enhance our photos to make the pool appear larger, as that would only create unrealistic expectations and ultimately lead to guest dissatisfaction- which we actively work to avoid. The images online accurately reflect the home, and we also provide a full virtual tour where the pool is shown exactly as it is. Virtual tours cannot be digitally edited to change the size or appearance of the space, and we encourage all guests to review them thoroughly before booking. Additionally, the pool dimensions are visible within the virtual tour, and we are always happy to answer any specific questions prior to booking- including the pool size. Unfortunately, we did not receive any inquiries from you about the pool’s dimensions before your reservation was made. As for the pool alarm, this is a Florida state law designed to protect children and prevent accidents. In some homes, a bypass button can be installed outside, but not all homes are wired in a way that allows for it. This home does not currently support that configuration, and we apologize if that caused any inconvenience during your stay. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly share your comments with our team.
