Amazing!

We had 4 families stay for a week as a kind of family reunion with kids from 1 through 17. The house is huge and beautiful, plenty of room (and room configurations) for everyone to have their own space but large areas to gather for eating and games. The house is right on the beach and having the chair service provide beach chairs and umbrellas waiting for you each day is a game changer! Between the beach, pool and house, I think we only left to run to Publix for groceries (2 min drive). But restaurants or downtown Rosemary Beach is only a short drive away. We stayed on Rosemary beach before but found it very busy and prefer this beach. On our last night we had a bonfire/smores set up and it was a great way to end our trip:)

Manta Ray

The house was amazing! The kitchen was well stocked. The floor plan was very well thought out and accommodated 8 adults and 8 children (10 and under). We loved the proximity to the beach and the fact that 8 chairs and 4 umbrellas were included and set up each day was a real plus.
