Family of four (two teenage girls), stayed for 6 nights. It was a perfect fit for our family. We used the two bikes each day and rented two others (and got a 15% discount with Cheryl’s code - make sure to mention the discount in the notes if ordering online)It was an easy walk to the shops and restaurants and to the cabana pool. We biked to all of the other pools to check them all out. The provided beach supplies were nice to have.Communication with the owner was excellent.This was our first time to the area and really didn’t know what to expect. We had a great time and will definitely stay here again upon our return.

Just perfect!

This carriage house was exactly as described and was perfect for a quiet, peaceful week in Rosemary Beach for myself and two older children. Check in was easy, and the amenities, like bikes and beach chairs, were in great condition. I look forward to staying again in the future!

Beautiful place

The accommodations were wonderful. The home is decorated so beautifully and fun. It is well equipped. Beach chairs, wagon and cooler were great for the beach which is a 5 min walk. The pool is close by. There are 2 bikes too. Great location. Hope to get back again.
