I think we were a little in between seasons w/ construction & landscaping all being done where we stayed. Pool amenities weren’t open yet (snack bar)… but that’s ok. Would have been nice to have pool towels👍

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)

This house is well maintained and clean with comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family of five. There is definitely room for more people too. Each room has its own bathroom which makes getting ready for outings much easier. The house is located in the seacrest beach section of Rosemary Beach and is only a five minute walk to pool and 10 minute walk to beach. The pool lagoon area is beautiful with a cafe and bathrooms and plenty of seating for the month of August. The beach has a beautiful entrance and white sand with clear waters and chair/umbrellas to rent for the day. There is also a very good cafe steps up from beach called Crabby Steve’s high point. We walked everywhere in seacrest and proper Rosemary beach near the Pearl Hotel. We ate good meals every day. Lots of restaurants to try. This house did not have bikes included in our rental price. If this is important to you check out bike rental options before you go. Our family swam in pool and golf most of day, especially bc August weather brings so much heat and humidity to this area, and we got dressed nicely and walked to dinner in the evening and then walked to ice cream and shops before going back to house. We had quiet, quality family time.

I was shocked and disappointed, if not insulted, that I was charged $15/day to park my car on your property duing my stay. I paid to rent a room, and certainly that should include a place to park. That's only common sense. We have stayed here in the past and enjoyed ourselves, but this was my last ...
