About this house rental
The Sapphire at the Cottages at Romar
23150 Perdido Beach #10
12BR 14BA Incredibly upscale beachfront home. Private & Community Pools. Elevator. Icemakers and fridges, all floors. Wow!
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!
Sapphire 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: King + 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: King + 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 would 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 Sapphire 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!

Our family consists of 5 families with 18 people ranging from age 3 to 83 . While we didn't really need all 12 bedrooms, we made use of all of them. The house is in a great location and well equipped. The elevator came in very handy for our elderly family members. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a large group.

The house and community were amazing! The community pool was great for the little ones. Communication with the property management was easy and they were very quick in responding. Overall we had a wonderful vacation!

For my 40th birthday, which fell on Good Friday, all I wanted was to wake up in my favorite place with my favorite people. That I did! I took the opportunity with the long Easter weekend to capitalize on my wish! My family along with some of our dearest friends and their families came and celebrated over the long weekend.
The house was perfect!
The kids enjoyed all bunking together in the bunk rooms and the adults enjoyed private rooms. :) My sister and brother-in-law made the most amazing birthday dinner for all 36 of us and it was the perfect place to gather and celebrate together. My husband is a musician, so he rented a keyboard and on Easter morning, we gathered on the deck (wrapped in blankets!) for our own Easter service where he led us in worship and another friend read the scripture and liturgy. We followed by lunch and an Easter egg hunt on the beach. It was an absolute dream.
One of my friend's daughter asked if we could come again for my 40th and one month birthday. LOL. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Overall we truly enjoyed the house, which is obvious since we already rebooked it for next year! This was our 6th year to host this beach trip, and everyone said it was by far their favorite house yet. Honestly I can see our annual trip growing to a place of needing to book both Sapphire and Emerald for the same dates. Maybe even diamond as well, in the future.

Sapphire was perfect for our extended family trip!

Stayed in both Emerald and Sapphire: Our vacation was a blast as always and everyone really enjoyed the homes. We had over 90 people this time around so we ended up renting another smaller home in the community. Most likely be renting the 2 houses again for the full week and possibly even your third home. My cousins from other states saw our photos and would like to join us moving forward!

Thank you so much! We absolutely loved our stay and everything was perfect! We will likely book again next year for the same retreat! And thank you so much for getting us in early!

The house is beautiful and we had a wonderful, memorable time. It was the perfect house for our needs with the pool deck being on the living room level and with the view of the ocean, perfect for my elderly in laws. Everyone was talking about "next time". We would definitely choose to stay there again and recommend to friends. It is truly a wonderful house!

We had a great time, and Sapphire was amazing! Our multi-generational family had plenty of space and we were very comfortable with furnishings.

We had a perfect week! Everything worked out great! The pool guys were friendly and joked with my 86 year old Dad and teased his great grand kids. Someone took care of pulling trash cans out for us on trash days. It was the perfect size for our group that traveled from all over the country!

We had a wonderful time! The house was clean and organized when we checked in on Saturday.... There was a small ant issue in the living room and management promptly sent over a bug service to spray with insecticide within an hour of my phone call. We really appreciated it. All in all we had a great time. We stayed at this same house seven years ago. In fact, we were the first guests in the house! We were happy to see that for the most part the upkeep of the house has been maintained.

We had a wonderful vacation in your home. It has been the best house to fit our huge family so far. There are 41 of us and that is immediate, not extended. Every place we have stayed before was missing something(fridge, ice makers...) or was broke. Your house provided what was pictured. Thanks again!

We loved Sapphire. Hope to come back but waited too long. Fortunately, the owner put us in Emerald, which is the same setup and right next door! Maybe next time we can rent both as our family keeps 'expanding'--thank you for a wonderful trip!

We really enjoyed our visit to The Sapphire beach house. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the house and the quick response. The house met all of our needs and we had people from 8 years old to 93 in the house during our visit. The private pool was a hit with the kids and the adults enjoyed that it was easy to keep an eye on the kids and stay in the shade. Thank you again for the beautiful beach house.

We were NOT disappointed with the lovely, Sapphire. The Sapphire highlights for us was the pool, that great colorful pool light, plenty of quality tables and chairs, laundry facilities on every floor, and adequate refrigeration. I liked that there was a gas stove as I cook on gas at home. We enjoyed walks around the community, visiting the community pool, as well as, all the nice amenities of Sapphire home. Peering over the 3rd floor balcony, to see our 4 daughters, now young women, with spouses, swimming together, playing with babies, caring sweetly for one another. I won't forget those moment captured at the Sapphire. We made some special memories in your home. Thank you!

Our family of 21 (ages 7 to 77) truly enjoyed this home for the week! Clean and as advertised! Check in/out a breeze! Mngmt Co responsive to minor issues quickly. There was plenty of space for all of us and we really enjoyed the main floor, large kitchen for prepping/feeding all of us easily, long kitchen table for eating/games/puzzles, and outdoor covered patio space that was very comfortable and utilized sun up to sundown by someone in the crew! The medium sized pool on the patio was great for kiddos, as well as the gathering spots on upper floors allowed space for smaller gatherings. This section of beach was moderately crowded (there are the houses set right behind in the Cottages at Romar). And the similar houses are set very close by on one side (can hear each other pretty well). We have stayed at other beachfront houses that were more secluded (with no homes directly behind or withing 10 ft of them), but there was no trouble finding space to put up shade for our large crew during our week. You do have to rent or bring your own chairs & umbrellas to be right at the shoreline (taller canopies and sunshades had to be set far back off the shoreline which was initially mildly annoying, but we got over it...this was our first stay at Orange Beach and that is the rule there). There was a beach volleyball net a few houses down that made for several nights of fun predinner volleyball games! We did not use the community pool, but there were lots of families there with little ones. We will for sure consider staying here again as it accommodated our very large extended family with comfortable spaces for all, quality beds for sleeping well, and a large kitchen that made meal prepping easy! Also really appreciated having multiple fridges and ice makers! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us so we could make some wonderful family memories!
