 "Home away from home
 We rented Carlin Ward for a week with our two senior corgis and toddler. It had all the comforts of home and (obviously) so many additional perks with proximity to the beach and the center of everything going on in Rosemary. We had a wonderful, "slow" week away from the rushing and hustling of everyday life. Morning bike rides, walks around the neighborhood with the dogs, afternoon pool and beach days, and too many trips to the coffee shop. We didn't want to leave!"

 "Rosemary Wedding Trip
 We had a great three day weekend in Rosemary. The house was great and in the middle of all the activities. Poolside reception at the Owner’s Club was minutes away. Restaurants and shops right there and close to the beach. "

 "Amazing home. Location
 Beautiful home, well maintained, luxury stay so close to restaurants/shops. Short 5 -8 min walk to beach. Would definitely stay here again! "

 "Carlin Ward Cottage
 Mostly great and management was responsive.  The only issue was construction on both sides of the house that we were not made aware of prior to booking.  House was well maintained and in a good location."

 "Beautiful Home in Rosemary Beach
 This home has everything you need to enjoy Rosemary Beach.  Great location close to the square and a 5 min walk to the beach via easy access to the boardwalk off the front porch.  This is our second summer in a row to stay at this house and we plan to stay again next summer!"

 "We will be back for round 3
 This is our second time staying at Carlin Ward Cottage and we plan to return next year. It is always very clean, equipped with everything we need and perfectly located for our family's vacation preferences. We find the beds comfortable, the outdoor shower helpful with sand control and little kids, and 30A Luxury Vacations quite helpful to work with. They made this vacation quite effortless and we are grateful. "

 "Very Nice Neighborhood and Clean House
 Rosemary Beach is Beautiful, and this house was in a very nice neighborhood and felt safe and able to walk everywhere.  You can walk to restaurants and shopping and do not even need to use your car.  This house does have a lot of steps so that was a little hard when you are older.  The house was clean, and the bed was comfortable (we only used master bedroom).  The Management Company is professional and always answered the phone if you ever need anything."

 "Overall a great rental!
 We arrived and the home was clean and was decorated very nicely. All amenities that were promised were there. The beds were very comfy and the pillows as well.  The location to the town center couldn’t be beat! The beach was a quick 6 minute walk down a boardwalk which was nice. The beach service that was a separate purchase was great as well. The main bedroom bathroom sinks were stopped up and slow draining but rental company offered to send someone right away to fix but it wasn’t bad enough to warrant that. I’m sure they resolved after our departure.  We would rent this property again and you can’t beat the service and quick responses from 30A Luxery Rentals. "

 "Perfect Vacation Home! Great Location!

 "Carlin Ward for the Win!
 My wife, 2 elementary aged kids, and dog had a wonderful experience at Carlin Ward. It was the perfect size for us. We rent a different house every year in Rosemary for the past 10 years and this one definitely ranks towards the top. Loved the close proximity to "town", the bunkbeds for kids, the Sonos audio and TV, the outdoor shower, and the shaded rear deck for evening grill out. The house was super clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. As usual, the week went by too fast! We would gladly return to Carlin Ward."

 "Wiggle lane
 House was wonderful though too small for more than 4 adults.   Third bedroom was up a spiral staircase with no bathroom access.   The house was perfectly located and within walking distance to restaurants shopping and racquet club.   Pool was close by as well.  "

 "Wonderful Tripa
 Carlin Ward Cottage was the perfect place to relax and unwind at Rosemary Beach.  It is very well appointed and the kitchen is well stocked.  We were pleased at how comfortable we were during our stay.  30A Luxury Vacations was great to work with and we will use them again."

 "Thanksgiving at the Beach
 My wife, daughter and son-in-law really enjoyed this house. We spent the week of Thanksgiving there, along with our dogs, and just loved being in both the house and Rosemary Beach. The house was great--very clean and well equipped. We definitely plan to return.
 The only thing I would criticize is the heat. Both thermostats (1st and 2nd floors) were frustrating as we could not get the temperature settings to stay "set". We had some cold nights during the week and found it hard to keep the setting higher than 69. Perhaps the system is designed to limit the settings?
 
 Otherwise, the house was great. Again, we will be back."

 "Don’t rent this house!
 We had a terrible experience with this home.  We received a call thirty minutes before checking in  one of the showers didn’t work but would be fixed ASAP.  We had five adults using one shower the entire week causing one of us the have to leave the beach early so everyone could get a shower.  We got a call late afternoon on our last day it would be fixed the day we were leaving.  We had torrential rain one day & water poured in the front door.  We spent the afternoon sopping up water.  The furniture is very uncomfortable.  There is no dresser in the master bedroom.  Trash was left in the side table in the guest room as well as a dirty mask in the master bath.  There were roaches alive and dead. The smoke detector battery went bad which should be checked each time a guest leaves!  The third floor is not conducive to young children or older adults as the spiral staircase is unstable.  When I made a final call the management apologized and told me it was the end of the season so there were abnormal maintenance issues.  If you are paying the same amount as the first guest of the season your accommodations should be the same.  They also told me they would compensate us for the inconveniences, especially the shower situation but of course we have seen no compensation.  Overall the worst experience we have had on 30A"

 "Fabulous beach bungalow in the heart of Rosemary Beach
 We couldn't have been happier with this great little house.  We felt like we were at home the moment we walked in the door, tasteful decor without being sterile, steps from the main square/shops/farmer's market, and we made good use of the back deck, bikes, and dedicated parking, which were all nice pluses.  Property management was also communicative, responsive, and very helpful leading up to and through the duration of our stay.  Highly recommended. "

 "Great home and location!
 Our family had a great experience in Rosemary Beach for Fall Break.  The house is great- modern, large, clean, nicely laid out.  The location within Rosemary and amenities are top notch.  My only complaint would be the very late check in and very early check out times, but I understand they need additional time for cleaning during COVID."

 "Clean great location !!!
 Very clean , third bedroom was deceiving and not enough bathrooms for that third bedroom without having to use the other bedroom baths !! Not a very convenient way to have guests in the third bedroom or the bunk beds under the stairs ! These were 70 year old ladies and not good for everyone !! Great location !!"

 "Carlin Ward
 The Carlin Ward Cottage is spacious and well-maintained.  It was the perfect size for housing our group of two adults, four kids, and a dog. The location is very convenient to town and the beach. It has everything you need in terms of amenities and cookware.  We had one issue with the garbage disposal and the management company took care of it right away.  They were also great.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  "

 "We loved the Carlin Ward Cottage!
 It was such a great vacation for our family and we can't wait to come back soon.  The home was a perfect fit for us and we'll definitely be staying here again.  We already recommended it to our friends.  Chris and his team at 30A Luxury Vacations really know how to take care of their guests.   They have everything in a mobile app so all the info you need is in the palm of your hand and they respond so quickly, it's actually surprising and refreshing.   We even received a few phone calls during our stay to check-in on use to make sure all was going well and once we had one small issue, they were there in 6 minutes!  We love Rosemary Beach and have been visiting for years and will definitely be using 30A Luxury Vacations going forward."

 "Amazing vacation and we can't wait to come back!!
 This home was perfect for our family and the management company thinks of everything.  The amenities were better than the other companies we've rented through and the home was spotless.  They called and check on us several times during our stay and were so helpful with answering and all questions.  We can't wait to come back very soon and will only use 30A Luxury Vacations from now on.  Thank you!"

 "Great Rosemary Beach Cottage
 We had a great stay at the Carlin Ward Cottage.  There were two of us and our 2 small dogs.  We had more than enough space and are thinking to go again with our adult kids. The house was so convenient and comfortable. We enjoyed walking the beach, walking to the town center for meals and riding bikes.  We had such a relaxing stay and hope to come again soon. Thank you."

 "Great House, Great Location
 I would highly recommend the Carlin award house, exactly what you see in the pictures.  Very clean, very well stocked.  Management company is outstanding, on top of everything and checks in to make sure your enjoying the house.  Kitchen has everything you need and a large fridge makes it even easier.  The 4 bikes were great for our teenage children, and the location is ideal for walking.  Simple and short walk to the private Rosemary beach, along with easy access to the many restaurants and shops of Rosemary and Seacrest.  Would definitely stay here again."

 "Carlin Ward Cottage is a Fantastic Property!
 Just returned home from Rosemary Beach. The Carlin Ward Cottage is a beautiful 3 story property located a block from restaurants and shopping at Barrett Square.  It is also a very short walk under tree lined paths to the beach.  30A Luxury Vacations is responsible for the maintenance of this property. The house was immaculate with a huge updated kitchen, large dining table, high end appliances, bath products, linens, towels and beautiful furnishings. We found 30A’s app to be very helpful with communication, including accessing the property, beach, bikes ( brand new ) and recommended restaurants, etc. as well as instructions to operating a new and very large Samsung Smart TV in the living room that included Apple TV and a Sonos sound system. 30A checked on us multiple times during our stay to ensure that we were comfortable and that the house was to our liking. We were pampered from day 1 by 30A staff and genuinely hated to see our vacation come to an end. We will return next year to this beautiful property and beach!
