We had an absolutely wonderful stay this past week. Everything was simply perfect from the convenient location, the spotless and well-appointed interior, the bunk room for our son, and Cheryl’s unwavering hospitality. If searching for a rental in RB, look no further.

This property was super cute and worked really well for our little family. Excellent location and amenities. Neighborhood pool is really close, and lovely. Walk to beach is not at all far, when using the wagon provided to pull the chairs etc!
Perfect stay!!

My wife, daughter and I stayed here for a week this July and it was perfect. Very cute layout, our daughter enjoyed the bunk bed all for herself and the king bed was super comfortable, my wife and I slept lovely.
We brought our bikes and were able to store them in the garage below which was incredibly helpful. The garage also had the beach supplies and the washer/dryer which really came in handy.
We highly recommend this house!

This was a wonderful carriage house to stay in Rosemary Beach. We walked or biked to the beach, pool, and shops/restaurants in Rosemary. The hosts were so sweet when we had the chance to meet them! My children loved the bunk room. There was a pool one block away as well as a little playground for smaller children. The carriage house is super cute and decorated very tastefully. You also have pretty much everything you would need including beach supplies, towels, and two bikes. We loved our stay and would return!

This property was perfect for my wife and newborn, you are within walking distance to everything in Rosemary and the pool is just around the corner so it made it super easy to go up for lunch and heat breaks. We would definitely stay here again even with a second kid, the extra room is great!

Have stayed here multiple times. Always a great experience. Cheryl very responsive. Location is perfect - right around corner from Cabana pool and a short few blocks walk to town center. Easy walk to beach as well.

Cheryl is a super accommodating host! The carriage house is appointed with Ritz-Carlton like plush bedding and toiletries that smelled divine. The kitchen was fully stocked; including a Brita water filter and a small welcome bag of Amavida coffee! We enjoyed using the 2 bikes and 4 beach chairs included with the rental as well. Cheryl really thought of everything so all we had to do was enjoy each other and our vacation in Rosemary!

This was perfect for our small family of 4 to have a nice beach vacation.
The owner, Cheryl, has created an inviting, gracious place to spend some lovely time in Rosemary Beach. We had the pleasure of chatting with her one day as we were heading out to catch the sunset. She is a very nice lady, & we enjoyed meeting her. She did such a great job of setting up her rental for maximum enjoyment of her guests.
The place is even more beautiful than the photos capture. It's so airy and peaceful. The cottage is super clean & very well stocked with nice amenities such as beach towels, a cooler, beach wagon, coffee maker, and a full kitchen. The kitchen saved us so much money & time, as we bought groceries on the way in & ate only one meal out per day.
We were within a very short walk of the Rosemary Beach shops, the beach, and several pools - one of which was only 1/2 block away. We took advantage of this & rarely moved our car from the parking space behind the house. It is so much easier to get around this area than in the other more crowded places nearby. Also, all the trees make the walking so much more pleasant, as most of the sidewalks are nicely shaded.
We really enjoyed having more indoor space than our usual hotel rooms, because we ended up having to stay in more than we would have liked due to storms moving through the area. Some of the storms were pretty intense, but the house was solid & we felt very safe. The wifi worked great & the cable TV was appreciated...my husband took in a Star Wars marathon while we waited for the weather to clear. Several DVDs and books were available as well.
So whether you're outside exploring the beautiful Rosemary Beach neighborhood, hanging out at the pools or beach, or lounging in this lovely carriage house, you will definitely be well situated in this rental!

Charming Carriage House
We've stayed in many different carriage houses all over Rosemary. This one was so clean and felt like home vs. a rental. A great use of space! Well stocked kitchen. Loved that our two kids has their own room. communicative and responsive management company.

The best family getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at the carriage house! It was perfect for our family of four (kids ages 3 and 5). Great location, perfect amount of space for our family, and working with the owners (Cheryl and Doug) was seamless. They were so personable, hospitable, and made us feel at home. We will absolutely be going back!

Cozy, cute, and perfect location
This property is very well maintained and has everything you need for a peaceful vacation. The location is amazing and it's easy to walk to town, restaurants, pools, and beaches. We hardly moved our car after arrival! The carriage house is full of light with plenty of windows. There is a sweet wrap around porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening cocktails. The owner was very pleasant, accommodating, and easy to talk to. We brought our two little dogs with us, and it turns out the owner is a dog lover as well.

A Great Little Place in a Perfect Location!
My family and I just returned from a few days at the carriage house, and loved every minute of it! The house is in an amazing location, close to the pool and beach, and though the walk to the beach is a good 10-12 minutes with small kids in tow, it’s beautiful. Cheryl was a gracious, communicative host, and has truly thought of everything. The house was outfitted with every little need, linens were spotless, and having the wagon and beach chairs was a lifesaver. (Just a note bc I needed to know: there is both a Keurig and regular drip coffee maker!) The outdoor shower also has excellent water pressure; we found it easiest to just shower the kids out there, shampoo and all, after the beach.
Thank you, Cheryl; we will definitely be back next year!

Great comfortable and cute property
Excellent walking distance into the square where all the restaurants are and some shopping. Rosemary Beach is the best kept secret, and we were so lucky to just happen to select it when making reservations in our first trip to the Panhandle. Very homey with all the trees and placement of the different houses. Fun to walk the streets and see the great architecture. The owners were great to work with as we appreciate the change in our reservations when a last-minute snowstorm prevented us from arriving in January. Good for those that don't mind climbing circular staircase up to second level where the king bed is.

Lovely Property in Beautiful Rosemary Beach
This property is delightful. It is small but just right for two people. The kitchen is well equiped with the cookware and dishes being high quality and very clean. The bed and the linens/towels were also high quality. There are a lot of windows so there is plenty of light and fresh air. The decor is lovely and there is even some interesting art and knick knacks. We loved walking around the neighborhood and of course the beach is spectacular.

Exceeded Our Expectations!
From arrival to departure, our experience at the Carriage House was incredible. The space was larger than I pictured and a perfect set up for our family. The bikes and wagon really added to our experience. We biked down 30A every day. Hit up The Hub a few times. We cooked every breakfast and some lunches. Some of the restaurants we enjoyed within walking distance were LaCo, Lola, Pescado, Crabby Steve's (beach access only) and Cowgirl Kitchen. The vibe in Rosemary was just what we were looking for: Incredibly kind people that cherish freedom, aren't living in fear and very family friendly.
We were lucky enough to meet the house owner, Cheryl and her assistant Barbara. Thanks for everything. We can't wait to come back!!

Perfect relaxing family getaway
This was the perfect spot for our annual family getaway to 30A. We live in Tampa and work a lot, so we cherish our trips to 30A in the winter. We spent our days running, walking, collecting seashells, swimming in the indoor pool, shopping at the Sunday Farmer's Market, and enjoying all of the amazing seafood and live music 30A has to offer. Cheryl was so communicative and responsive and made our trip so easy. The loft set-up makes the carriage house seem much larger and the bedroom below is perfect if traveling with kids because you can shut the door at bedtime. The spiral staircase is not ideal for kids but it wasn't a problem. Also, a rail on the top bunk would be a great idea if possible. I just couldn't let my 5 year sleep up there even though she wanted to so badly. I was too nervous we would end up in urgent care. The place was so clean and has everything you could possibly need. We hope to be back here again next year. Thank you for a wonderful home base for our vacation!

Adorable Honeymoon Getaway
We came to Rosemary Beach for our honeymoon and could not have asked for a better week! This property is absolutely adorable! We did have one issue during our stay where they started doing temporary construction in the street across from us, but the property manager Cheryl was fantastic working with us to get things sorted out. She offered to move us to a different property across town, and while we took her up on the offer, we were sad to see leave this spot! I could not recommend staying at one of her properties more. We loved Rosemary Beach and our week here - we will definitely be back in the future!!

Magical retreat
We stayed here for a week to celebrate a milestone birthday. The cottage house was the perfect fit for us. We had all the amenities we needed, and were a short walk to restaurants and shopping. The beach was beautiful and quiet. Cheryl, the owner, was readily available when we needed her. This was a magical perfect week for us!

Great Family Vacation!
Our stay in Rosemary Beach was fantastic! The Carriage House was a perfect spot for our family of four. The bunk beds were a great way for our older kids to reconnect and the loft bed was awesome too. The walk to town and the beach were really short and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The Carriage House has it all! We fished, golfed, sunned, rode bikes, walked and rested! A great vacation by any measure!
