We had the best week. The house was well appointed, clean, and spacious. The wrap around porch was perfect and gave us double our living space. And the pool was huge compared to all of the others in the neighborhood. Management was polite and extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Everything was immaculate. The home was clean upon arrival and very tastefully designed with high-end furnishings in every room and common area. Perfect for a 30-somethings girls weekend! The location is prime: walk to the beach and some of the most popular restaurants in the area.

We have rented 6 homes in Water's Edge and this is our FAVORITE home we have rented. The layout and size are perfect. The house has new furniture and is super updated. The kitchen is fully stocked. The outdoor pool area is the biggest we have ever stayed in. Highly recommend this home!!

Having done a lot of VRBO and other rentals in the past. Royal Destinations was BY FAR the best rental experience I've had. The house was spotless. The communication leading up to and during our entire trip was exceptional. The team was helpful with any things that I needed and were always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. This team is dialed in and I hope to rent from them many more times. Thanks RD!
This was our 5th visit to this property! It’s like home away from home! Fantastic home, fantastic location and just makes for the best vacation. We had extended family come with us this time around and we actually rented 2 homes in this community and it worked out perfectly!! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!

Perfect vacation home
Everything was spectacular about the house. Well stocked, plenty of room and the beach is a short walk. Very nice having access to a private beach because the beach wasn’t overcrowded like some of the surrounding areas. Loved every moment of it and plan to be back!

Home with private pool, close to beautiful beach, was perfect! Large open living room/ kitchen/ porch with a view of the Gulf was great for entertaining. Walking distance to excellent restaurants- including coffee shops and açaí bowls for breakfast. A 10 out of 10!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
The location of this house is absolutely incredible- you don’t need a car because you can walk everywhere which is so nice. However, the house was pretty beat down and needed some repairs. It also was so poorly cleaned- you could tell the floors hadn’t been vacuumed, let alone mopped. Hair all in the drawers and in the bathtub. It was a very poor clean job. There is also no sound proofing at all between the floors so it is loud. You can hear every footstep if you stay downstairs. They also make you check out at 10AM and check in isn’t until 5PM.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first time visiting the communities of 30A. We chose this property because of the pool and the newly renovated decor. It was lovely! However the pool had not been cleaned when we checked in and we had to wait at least a day for a crew to deal with that. Water was quite cold for end of April, so consider asking to have it heated. The home is very comfortable, a short walk to the beach stairs and included 2 beach chairs set up at the beach. However the home is directly along the main street that goes through Rosemary Beach. The driveway is on a private lane but the house itself does have considerable street noise from the main road. The view on the one side of the home is an adjacent tennis court complex belonging to the resort next store. This home is walkable to several restaurants and shops.
