OUTDOOR LIVING

The pool deck is where the vacation actually lands. The pool is large enough that 16 people never crowd it, and the deck has enough space that nobody has to move chairs to make room. Evenings organize themselves where the grill goes on, while someone chills in the water, and the 2nd-floor shared balcony catches the last of the Gulf light for a nightcap.

- Heated saltwater pool
- Pool heating available for $45/day + tax
- Propane grill
- Outdoor shower
- Gulf glimpses from the 3rd-floor balcony

LIVING AREA

Three floors across 3145 sq. ft. of living space means no one is ever on top of each other - the teenagers can claim a level, the little ones or remote working bees have their corner, and the adults actually get to finish a conversation. The layout is open and airy, the A/C is reliable even in August, and every bedroom has its own fan for guests who run warm.

- Open-plan living across 3 floors
- Shared balcony access on the 2nd & 3rd floors
- Central A/C throughout; ceiling fans in every bedroom
- Dedicated work space with desk, ergonomic chair and double monitors in the 3rd floor nook

30A LIFESTYLE & LOCATION

Walk east and Alys Beach takes a few minutes — the white Mediterranean architecture, the Green where the evening crowd gathers without needing a reason. Walk west, and Rosemary Beach gives you Barrett Square for dinner or a morning coffee, and the kind of village energy that makes people add a night to their trip.

The Timpoochee Trail runs the length of 30A and connects straight through — Seaside is west, the Saturday Farmers Market is reason enough to be on a bike by 9am, and Grayton is a longer ride for when the group wants to go further. The 6 included bikes are not a nice-to-have. They're the point.

- Sandy Shores community beach access 150 steps away
- Walk east: Alys Beach (~5 min)
- Walk west: Rosemary Beach (~10–15 min)
- Timpoochee Trail nearby
- Peddler's Pavilion nearby

GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK

- Pool heating is available for $45/day + tax, please arrange at least 24 hours before arrival so the water is ready when you are
- The door from the living area to the pool deck has an audible safety alarm — it's an intentional, legally required safety feature, and worth knowing about before the first morning, so it doesn't catch the group off guard
- Beach chair setup is seasonal: March 1 through October 31. Outside this window, chairs are not set up
- Gulf views are glimpses — visible from the 3rd-floor balcony looking south; the pool deck and lower floors face the neighborhood
- WiFi & Connectivity - Like much of coastal 30A, Rosemary Beach sits in a low-signal corridor where connection speeds can be inconsistent — regardless of how upgraded the equipment is. This home is set up with the best available, but if reliable connectivity matters for your stay (remote work, video calls), pack a personal hotspot as a backup
- The bunk room has two twin-over-full bunks (twin on top, full on the bottom) with ladder access — a consistent hit with kids; comfortable for adults who don't mind a cozy climb
- Parking for 5 vehicles within the gated community; no trailers or additional street parking
