About this house rental

The Emerald at the Cottages at Romar
23150 Perdido Beach #9

12BR 14BA Incredibly upscale beachfront home. Private Community Pools. Elevator. Icemakers and fridges, all floors. Wow!

Next summer filling fast. Spring has some significant discounts on remaining weeks! Snag these rare opps to stay in these truly luxurious, very big, homes, right on the beach, with all the amenities, and YES this one does include a gas grill!

2024-08-07. UPDATED Virtual Tour!

These homes are always full. We own Emerald, Sapphire and Diamond, all right next door to each other. Sapphire and Emerald are the identical 12BRs. More of...more! Get two. 24 bedrooms. Why not?! Diamond (10BR) too. Side x side x side! 34 bedrooms... All 3 were fully booked last summer and all the major holidays almost a year in advance, sometimes two for our repeat guests! Act quick!

Emerald is a 12 bedroom family-friendly luxury beach home located directly on the beach in an exclusive, gated community with zero-entry pools. Handicapped accessible features. Elevators. Community firepit. The perfect vacation home for large groups, or small ones that like lots of space!

There are 3 beach side living rooms, one on each floor, in this home. Need a beverage? There are wet bars with mini-fridges and stand-alone ice-makers in the second and third floor living rooms so you can save yourself the trip down the stairs (or elevator!). Each floor also has its own washer and dryer because when you are on vacation why would you want to carry your clothes up and down the stairs (or in the elevator) more than you absolutely have to!?

Sleeps 44 as follows:

2nd Flr NE BR: King
2nd Flr NW BR: King
3rd Flr Middle N BR: 2 Triple Bunks (Twin over Full)
3rd Flr Middle S BR: 2 Triple Bunks (Twin over Full)
3rd Flr NE BR: King
3rd Flr NW BR: + Bunk Bed (Twin over Twin)
3rd Flr SW BR: King
4th Flr Middle N BR: Triple Bunks (Twin over Full)
4th Flr Middle S BR: Triple Bunks (Twin over Full)
4th Flr NE BR: King
4th Flr NW BR: + Bunk Bed (Twin over Twin)
4th Flr SW BR: King

There are NO sleeper sofas.

POOLS -- Private Deck Pool AND Community Pool
In addition to the zero-entry community pool located right across the drive from the home, the home also has its own private, elevated dipping pool at living room level. Dipping does NOT mean itty bitty. Its a 20x12x3.5' Rectangle. Sit in your living room, watch your kids play in the pool outside, how cool is that!? Or enjoy that beverage overlooking the gulf!

And we added a gas pool heater to the deck pool, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 84 (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. You may add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them. And mini-fridges in wet-bar areas on the other floors too! Plus.. 2 dishwashers.

PARKING
You can park 5-6 mid to full size vehicles in front and under the home. In addition, there are multiple overflow parking areas in the Cottages neighborhood, conveniently located nearby, not miles away!

WIFI/INTERNET? YOU BET!
YES! We have an awesome Eero multi-node mesh network fed by fiber optic for up to 1GB speeds (and we typically see 750+ in real world line speed tests at the home) to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

TWO OTHER COTTAGES RIGHT NEXT DOOR
And if 12 bedrooms is just a little too big for you, check out Diamond, a 10 bedroom home right next door, or any of our other wonderful family-owned homes. Emerald and Sapphire are identical 12 BR units, so if you want to sleep up to 88, well, that d do it! Or over 115 in all 3!
Please note that the Cottages at Romar neighborhood association has determined that no weddings or special events may be hosted in the property. This is applicable to our Jewels by the Sea. However, although you cannot host weddings or special events at the Diamond, Emerald, or Sapphire, you certainly can stay there during your trip and enjoy these large homes, their luxury, and the terrific neighborhood amenities.

GRILL
Yes. There is a direct-plumbed gas grill for your use.

SOAPS, PAPER and BEACH TOWELS, COFFEE ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). All bed linens and bath towels are provided (bath towels, we provide 1.25* the MAX Guests (not however many you reported). That's a lot, like more than 55 for 44 people; however, if you plan to 'pack the house' AND expect to use more than one towel per person, then may want to bring some more. You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.

You ll love staying at the Emerald at the Cottages at Romar. You ll wish you never had to go home. If you don t book early, you ll stop by wishing you could be here.

We have a number of smaller places as well, and also bigger: like taking 2 sides of a very nice duplex to get 20 (twenty!) bedrooms.

Ask. We ll help find the perfect place no matter what your vacation hopes, dreams, and desires may be!

Everything was Great! We had an issue with the stove. Within 3 hrs. a maintenance person arrived and fix it. Unfortunately, the fix didn't work. Once we reported the problem, they advised a replacement stove would be installed the next day, and they did. Our family has been booking houses every summer for the last 15 years. This was the best in resolving maint issues

Our family of 16 recently stayed at the Emerald and we were blown away with the beautiful home and everything it has to offer. Right away we noticed the cleanliness, the abundance of everything needed (3 refrigerators, 3 dishwashers, washers and dryers, kitchen areas on upper levels), dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and comfortable and inviting furniture. Our family of 16 included 8 adults and 8 children … we had plenty of room to spread out and not get in anyone’s way! On the top 2 floors were sitting areas, which included a bathroom, that allowed one to get away to read or just look out at the ocean view. A sliding glass door gave access to a balcony, if you desired to be outside. We spent lots of time on the porch, which included many places where the adults could sit as the smaller kids enjoyed the pool. We also took advantage of the community pool when we were not at the beach. A large pool with different depths … averaging from walking into the pool to 6’. Did we have any cons? Absolutely NOT! Don’t hesitate. Book this beautiful home … you will not be disappointed!

We're recovering from an excellent week. The accommodations were excellent and our family was very comfortable! We had amazing weather and even spotted a few pods of dolphins through the week. I certainly was dreading going back to work today instead of waking up at the beach! Looking forward to next year already! Thank you! [Yay! Thanks Dave! So happy to hear everything was perfect for you all again this year, and that you already locked in next summer! Don't hesitate to shoot us a note if you have ANY suggestions, or need anything whatsoever. Thanks again!]

This was the perfect location and perfect house for a large group. Each floor has a separate living room area which was fantastic. Groups could separate for games/movies/etc.
