The main living floor on the second story boasts an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and multiple private balconies making this an easy space for entertaining many guests.

Also on the main floor is the kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and dining area to accommodate six plus nearby circular table accommodating up to four. After dinner head outside for some fresh air on the shuttered balcony overlooking your own private courtyard.

Both the Cabana Pool & Barbados Pool are within walking distance as well as local boutiques, delectable restaurants and our beautiful beaches. Prefer to stay in? No problem.

"Great house and location!
We were there over Thanksgiving week and it was a great place to be. Close to all the activities and restaurant while still close enough to the beach to enjoy a walk."

"Southern Serenity Yes !
We had a wonderful time -the home is beautiful and accommodating -great ice maker and nice new pans-kitchen well stocked. Only minor improvement would be one of the spare bedroom beds is very hard and uncomfortable -all the other beds were 100 tho. Very clean. Easy easy check out -no linen duties which was very nice. "

"Best rental experience of my life
This is the best rental experience I have ever had in my life. Incredible house, location, responsiveness, and overall service all around"

"Amazing Vacation
Perfect experience. Can’t wait to book again for next year. "
Aug 14, 2023 - Jeff M., Fairfax , VA



"Great place
We loved this house. The pool was fantastic. The tv in the secondary King bedroom did not work. Both king mattresses probably need to be replaced, but were fairly comfortable. The biggest stressor was keeping up with the 3 beach passes; I miss the old 4 digit code system to access the beach walkover gates. There is picture hanging hardware on the wall over the bed in the main king room, but no picture or art. What happened to that piece? You might want to get the exterminator in there as we saw a couple of big roaches. The Sonos system is dificult since I was not able to play my own music on it. In general, we really liked this house and would go there again"

"Good Trip
We had a decent stay at this rental, but it was our least favorite house we've stayed at in 30A - it's good but it's not great (and when paying Rosemary prices, I'm looking for great). We probably would not choose to stay at this one again but had a good trip overall.

Location: it is super close to the beach and the town square, which is awesome! There is not a lot of privacy, though, as the front overlooks a busy walking street and there are like 6 houses that have balconies overlooking the backyard.

-House itself: layout was great (bedrooms on ground floor, living space/kitchen on second, bunk room on third) but the house is very loud and you can hear everybody's movement. The appliances are mediocre (notable compared to luxury appliances in other rentals in Rosemary). Beds are very comfortable and there are ceiling fans in all the downstairs bedrooms. Living area space is nice and spacious and, if you have young kids, there is room to easily move the coffee table to the side to create a nice play space. Pool is fantastic - gets good shade and sun, fun size, nice depth, etc. Biggest annoyance is that there is no comfortable outdoor furniture - it's all hard, wooden uncomfortable furniture. Why no comfortable pool loungers? There's a huge beautiful covered deck off the second story of the house and there are just two hard wooden chairs on it - such a missed opportunity for a comfortable, cozy outdoor lounge space.

Management company is great - super responsive and easy to communicate with. "

"Magical Mother daughter getaway on 30A - July 22
This is an incredible home with all of the amenities you would want for a beach vacation. The home was clean, beds & pillows were all very high quality! 2 blocks from the beautiful private beach and centrally located between restaurants and shops! Perfect private home pool too! Could use a few throw blankets, better storage in bunk room along with ceiling fan & loungers by the pool (just a few suggestions) but extremely Happy with our stay. Loved having the 4 bikes and it’s a magical community. Bonus to have the ice maker and kitchen is nicely stocked!! Management company was very quick to respond with any questions we had and very friendly!! Vacay was 10/10. Definitely will come back!! "

very pleasant"
Jul 18, 2022 - , Springboro, OH



"nice stay
The home is in a great location in Rosemary beach. very close walk to shopping, restaurants, beach and community pool which was very beautiful and clean. The house had enough amenities to make it work out. We cooked most meals at home. The 3rd floor was warm and they came to install a separate AC in the top floor.We had a small party so we all stayed in the ground floor bedroom suits. The floors were dirty (dusty) when we arrived to the point my wife bought a wet mop and cleaned the place on day 1. But aside from that we were pretty happy. Make sure you read the instructions on how to use the TV, they actually came out and walked us through it. The management team was very good and quick. I have no complaints about them. You will love the location. There was a great farmers market just a few feet from the home on sunday AM and that is very convenient for stocking up. There are several Publix grocery a few min drive away. The beach was not too crowed. So overall, this is a great community to stay and the house was just fine. We loved Pescado's restaurant but make reservations early.

Bikes are nice, we had to rent 2 more to fill our needs. We did not bike alot but it was helpful -------"

Great time with Highschool friends from 35 years! Location was awesome! House was nice, but dishes were not in the best of condition!"

"Family beach vacation
Good property and good location"
Jul 19, 2021 - Arthur M., Lafayette, LA



"Great house and great location
This was a great house! Was the first time to 30a and loved the location of the home. It was easy to get to the beach, but liked that it was across 30a for less noise. It was a very clean home and everything was updated. The only negative thing I could say is that it was very difficult to regulate the temp in the kids bunk room. It was warm most of the week, maybe a fan would help or something. Also, I wish the kitchen had more utensils and kitchen items (Im sure its difficult to keep up with those things). Loved that the garage was fully equipped with beach supplies and the bikes were very useful. Bring a bike pump, we found most of the bike tires were very low, we had one and blew them up easily. It was wonderful to have a private pool, especially during COVID. We would recommend staying here and we would stay here again. "

"Southern serenity
Great house for a family vacation "
Oct 02, 2020 - , Carnegie, PA



"The Hurricane Trip
30A Luxury Rentals was awesome EVEN in a pandemic year and EVEN the week of a hurricane. With all that happened this year in 2020, we needed a clean, spacious place to rest and relax together away from our home. The Southern Serenity Cottage was the perfect place to meet up with family we hadn’t seen all year and just chill. 30A went above and beyond to make it special in the midst of crazy circumstances, and we couldn’t have asked for better. "

"Red Roof Inn Experience at Ritz Carlton Price
First of all, I'd like to say the home itself is very nice. All of the issues we had I believe are management related. Upon arrival, 2 of the bathroom trashcans were full of trash, there was food debris all over the counters and there was sand and dirt all over the kitchen floor. Not a very sanitary environment in the midst of a pandemic right? In their defense-they sent the cleaning crew back out, but only after the person who took the call said: "So what do you want me to do, send someone out to clean up the crumbs?" We were told not to use the tub in master and the dishwasher didn't work and would be replaced which it eventually was. Maybe it just started out wrong when I opened the top drawer in bedroom dresser to find a slimy tube of KY jelly.
For $10k a week, it was unacceptable. This crew should be in Destin running a shady motel."
Aug 04, 2020 - John C., Webster Groves, MO



"Decent experience
We had a group of 9 people that stayed in the Southern Serenity Cottage. The location was ideal as it was close to the amenities we enjoyed (beach, Alys, bike rentals, restaurants, shops, etc.)

However, the house was extremely noisy and you could hear every footstep. When some were trying to sleep, it was rather difficult as you could hear when others would walk on the floors above.

Also, our dishwasher broke on day one. It was extremely inconvenient as we had to hand wash dishes for 9 people, 3 meals a day. The dishwasher wasn't fixed until our last night there.

"July 2020
Had to report a couple minor issues, but management was quick to address them. Overall good property."
Jul 20, 2020 - , Cleveland, MS



"Southern Serenity
Rental company was extremely responsive, and property was beautiful and well located. However, sound was an issue as walking on wood floors sounded like a stampede throughout entire house due to open floor plan and only one rug in the house. "

"Great Rental
Everything was great! Newly renovated and you could tell! Very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be staying here again!"

"Great home and we loved the private pool!
Thank you 30A Luxury Vacations for making our vacation such an amazing one!!"
Dec 03, 2019 - , Huntsville, AL



"Great spring break experience!
Loved the location of this home. Interior was perfectly clean and suited for our group of 6. Comfortable furniture for kids. Outside landscaping and decks need some TLC. Kitchen needs some additional basic cooking tools, like strainer and whisk. Bikes which come with the rental are a great perk. "
Apr 01, 2019 - Alison A., Dallas, TX



"Great Rosemary Location!
Spring Break with a bunch kids. Perfect fit. Close to everything, but not in the main flow of traffic. Love it. "

Thoroughly enjoyed the rental unit."

"Southern Serinity stay
We had a wonderful stay- The house was very nice but had mold around the tub in jack and jill bathroom"

"Amazing weekend!
The house was beautiful and the location was ideal. The pool was clean and the perfect temperature. The garage was filled with floats and beach chairs so our time by the water was glorious!"
Oct 28, 2018 - Amanda G., Pittsburgh, PA



"Beautiful beach house
We really enjoyed our stay at Southern Serenity Cottage. The location was good — close to shops and restaurants and a short stroll to the beach walkover. After years of visiting, we’ve decided that the fall season is the best time to come to Rosemary. Ocean temperatures are perfect, and we had sunny weather each day. The house has three nice bedrooms on the ground floor, a spacious living area on the second floor with balconies in the front and back, and a cozy third floor bedroom with twin beds. The pool in back, with an adjoining eating area, was an added bonus! We have rented from 30A Luxury Vacations several times and really appreciate their wonderful service — everything is taken care of and questions are answered promptly. Thanks for another relaxing beach vacation!"
Sep 27, 2018 - , Nashville, TN



"Not up to Park
Based on other homes I have rented in Rosemary Beach, this was by far one of the worst. The house was not clean, sand everywhere, dirty sink in master bath and boxers underneath one of the twin beds upstairs. Kitchen amenities were just fair."
Jul 09, 2018 - , Oxford, MS



"Spring break
We had a lovely stay at Southern Serenity for spring break. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and playing in the backyard. One of the downsides was the floors were very dirty. Within 10 minutes of walking around after taking a shower our feet were black on the bottom. I think the whole place needs the floors cleaned and a good deep cleaning in the kitchen and bathrooms as well. "

"Wonderful Stay
Fantastic Super Bowl and birthday weekend for our family. This is a lovely, well appointed and clean vacation home. It is in a wonderful location a couple of blocks from the beach and town center. It had almost everything you would need and 4 beach bikes. Every room had 2 sets of towels and plenty of shampoo, TP, hair dryer, extra pillows etc. The kitchen included dish soap, paper towels, dish towels, trash bags, starter coffee for Mr. Coffee and for us adequate dish ware and cookware.
There are TV’s in every room, a working Fireplace and 65” TV in great room. We did encounter TV “freezing” up a lot. I paid extra for the pool to be heated but it wasn’t warm enough to use till the day we left.🙁.
There are very steep steps inside if that is an issue. Also all houses that rent have a pool alarm (good to know). I think the great room could use another otterman or floor pillows. Overall I think this is a very nice rental. "
Feb 07, 2018 - , Columbus, GA



"Disappointing
Not good. We chose this house primarily for the heated pool for our 3 and 1 year old grandchildren over Thanksgiving. I callled ahead to have the pool heated. We arrived and the pool heater was not working and it was not fixed the entire time we were there. There were TV issues, fireplace issues and the kitchen was sparsely equipped. I felt that we arrived at the end of the season so what got all of the problems that had been accumulating over the season."

"Perfect Rental!! Very short walk to beach and pool.
Home was just as pictured with no surprises. Two families of four with toddlers, and had plenty of space and privacy during the stay. Short walk to the community pool and beach, maybe 2-3 minutes with our 1 yo's in a stroller and 3 yos walking. I actually liked our location as we were closer to all restaurants and outdoor market area. Management Company provided customer service during stay. Rarely used the pool at our property but great to have that option. No complaints! "
Sep 21, 2017 - , Atlanta, GA



"Beautiful home and great location!
The home in Rosemary was beautiful and the location was perfect! The decor in the home was gorgeous and the home was very spacious. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The weather was not great during our stay so the home being comfortable was very important! Lots of room for our family to enjoy each other and have room to relax alone also! The management company quickly replied with any questions. Great overall experience! "
Jun 26, 2017 - Kelly B., Cumming, GA



"Fun winter getaway
Had a wonderful experience for a long weekend in February. House had everything we needed and more. Even had coffee, creamer, and paper towels to get us through the first day. Close to everything and great layout for a family. Heated pool was a fabulous addition when we didn't want to go to the community pools. Only recommendation would be that it would help to have a manual to work the remote for the television, but might be easier to those familiar. Overall, wonderful experience and hope to return this summer!"

"Nice home. Great Location
Great location -- easy walk to beach and just two blocks from coffee, food, and books! What more could you want! We enjoyed this house and the new huge TV and Sonos sound System. Loved working with the Rental Company. Chris was very flexible and helpful. "
