About this house rental
Here are our current specials:
• One free beach setup (2 beach chairs, beach umbrella) for all reservations March through November.
Starburst Beach House is located in the private gated community of Waters Edge, which adjoins Rosemary Beach on the west side. Waters Edge has its own private beach and, with only 34 homes in the entire neighborhood, the people density on the beach is low. As a result, Waters Edge is very popular with vacationers seeking the "perfect place" along 30-A.
Starburst Beach House is only row off the beach, and is conveniently located right next to the path to the beach. You can step out of the house and onto the path, walk the length of one lot (about 100 feet) and you are at the steps down to the beach. There are only two homes in the entire community with shorter walks to the beach. So it's easy and convenient to go back and forth between the house and the beach.
This beautiful home has its own small private pool, which can be heated for a small fee.
With five large bedrooms (3 kings, a queen and a bunk room), four and one-half bathrooms and 10-foot ceilings, this beautiful beach home is perfect for 12 guests to sleep and unwind comfortably.

Our week at Starburst was wonderful. With 6 adults and 6 kids under 10, we walked into a very clean, well laid out, well labeled and well stocked home. The location was key as we didn't have to get in a car after arriving for days as we were able to walk to restaurants, stores, live music, etc. The security of the neighborhood and access to the beach were great. The communication with the owner was incredibly efficient leading up to the trip. While, we didn't need the owner during the trip, I'm confident that if we did, that communication would have been just as good. We are making plans to visit again.

Starburst worked out fabulously for my family of 8. The house was clean, well stocked and labeled with instructions where needed. We easily fit 3 cars in the drive. The layout of the house flows smoothly. The location was great - just a few steps to the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. It was easy to communicate with the owner. He gave delailed information and answered all my questions promptly. We hope to return to this lovely home in the future.

The location was great. Located in a gated community, and the second house from the beach. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was nicely furnished and had a homey feel. The kitchen was well stocked with new appliances, and plenty of cooking utensils. The host was very nice and answered all our questions immediately. Rosemary Beach is such a cool area to visit. We have been here before and will be back again. Thank you Hunter for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Truly cannot say enough about how amazing our stay at Starburst was. The location is perfect. Steps to the most beautiful beach, and a short walk to restaurants, shops and the charming Rosemary Beach.
The house itself is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is stocked with any kind of pan or utensil you may want.
The pool was really handy on cooler windy days, definitely opt to pay the extra to have it heated if you’re not there during the warmer months!

This rental was PERFECT in many ways! The location was ideal to the beach, resturants, and shops. The pool was great with small children who couldn't tolerate the beach all day, but still wanted to play in the water. The owner stocked the house very well. I was so impressed that I even left a view items to restock them! Communication and suggestions were excellent! A GEM of a place!!

This home is in the best location in the area. It is perfectly situated right next to all the restaurants and shops of Rosemary Beach and conveniently directly across the street from Peddlers Village. It is also right on the beach access path and just a few short steps to the sand and water. The house is spacious and well maintained. I loved the security of a gated entrance and enjoyed the lack of crowds on the private beach compared to the packed beach at Seacrest. We loved it and hope to come back soon!

such a great stay at this beach house! Close walk to the beach , nice gated community in the heart of Rosemary and just steps away from Alys. The house was clean had all the kitchen essentials, comfy beds and the host was excellent! We will definitely be back.

Very satisfied with the house and location. My extended family of 11 (6 adults, 5 children) had a wonderful time, the location was perfect, and the house was spacious.
8.0 / 10.0
OUTSIDE: Pool could be cleaner - Pool was dirty compared to other neighbors. Debris on bricks filled pool every day and clogged drain.
Pool furniture/ patio furniture extremely uncomfortable- needs replacement.
Gas Grill was not stable, wobbly.
Construction crew replacing back neighbors siding and painting. Pounding and yelling 4 days in a row. Construction crew parked their truck and building trailer on driveway right next to pool. We couldn’t use the pool during the day. They peered over the pool wall every time they passed.
Neighbors in Vie de Sol next door brought 4 dogs barking at all hours morning, noon and night. Had to reach out to owner via VRBO and ask if she could help. Property was supposed to be pet free and renters violated policy. Houses are very close so you hear everything.
INSIDE:
Regulating house temperature was a challenge- we were either freezing or sweating the whole time due to thermostat covering multiple floors/areas- needs to be fixed.
Refrigerator was freezing food in back and having to check the doors were always aligned was annoying some times - old.
I wouldn’t consider this a luxury, ocean view vacation house as the VRBO keyword search says. There is no ocean view as photos suggest. Photos are old. The house is 20 years + old, Bathrooms were small (no dual sinks), small kitchen, small common areas. House has been maintained, but not updated.
3.9 house, 4.9 on hosts/housekeeper promptness to concerns, 4.25 location

We had a wonderful experience for our first trip to 30A. Starburst was the perfect house: great location, so close to the beach and easily accessible to shops and restaurants. I really appreciated the daily beach set up that came with the house. The beach is less crowded than other parts because it serves this cute, small neighborhood. House was well appointed with all the things we needed and easily slept 8 adults and 3 children. The grill worked perfectly and the small pool was a favorite with the kids. All in all a great trip and I hope we can return one day.

I was really impressed with this house and the overall location. We’ve rented at Rosemary several times, but this house gave us the best location with private beach access, along with great access to Rosemary Square and Peddlers Pavilion.
Best of all the house was equipped with many of the basic things that are often missing and overlooked at other places such as salt/pepper/spices, ample pots/pans, utensils, trash bags. It may seem trivial, but when you go on vacation and have to buy pans, utensils, or a simple potholder for a house for a week it’s irritating. The house had all the necessities for us.
We had plenty of room for 9 of us and the rooms were all a good size and clean and all were connected with a bathroom. Communication with the property manager was quick and responsive. Our pool heater was not working when we arrive on Saturday and he had someone there Monday morning (Sunday was Easter). The only negative is that the pool is on the small size so we were in it very little as the kids felt it was to small to play in it.
We enjoyed our stay at the house very much and would definitely stay there again in the future. Highly recommend!!

Renting the house was very easy to do. The owner sent us information before and during our stay which helped so much. It was our first time to rent thru Vrbo. the house was well appointed worked so well for our family of all age groups. We would definitely rent it again.

We had a Peaceful stay in a delightful location. The house was very close to the beach walkway. Across the street from the neighborhood, there was a small grocery store that served burgers, a pizza place, an Italian place, a seafood place, and an ice cream place . This was all within walking distance or biking distance. This is the perfect neighborhood for having a peaceful vacation. If you’re wanting a rowdy experience, I would stay somewhere else. There is also a great beach bar called crabby Steve’s located next door in High Point. It’s open for lunch and closes at Sunset. Everything was as pictured, but the pool is a plunge pool, so it’s pretty small. All the pools are like that in the neighborhood. You can still enjoy them though & they are perfect for kids. The kitchen was set up very well with trash bags and hand soap was in every bathroom. I’d pick up extra toilet paper and bring shampoo etc. The kitchen was well-stocked. They don’t have a crockpot, so bring one if you use one. With so many good restaurants nearby, you’ll probably want to eat out or pick food up!

What a wonderful week spent at our favorite spot on 30A. Starburst is wonderful-well supplied, clean, and the proximity to the beach can’t be beat! Most importantly, Hunter was wonderful; easy to get in touch with and super fast to respond to any questions we had.

BEST RENTAL IN ROSEMARY
The house was cute, light, bright and perfect for a beach vacation. The location cannot be beat! One house back from beach access and directly adjacent to the path. It's a 3 minute walk to the cute shops in Rosemary Beach. The plunge pool was perfect for late afternoons. I didn't think we would use the pool, but we did for an hour or so everyday. Hunter was very accessible. Our travel standards are high and this house met them all. Our 3 adult children said it was one of their favorite vacations, topping Lake Como, Hawaii, Belize, Mexico. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic Family Vacation Home
Hunter was very thorough in helping us prepare to stay in his home with a long list of how to check in , what they provide, restaurants, chair and umbrella rental, expectations and check out procedure. The home was perfect for our group of 7 adults and 3 children. So easy to get back and forth to the beach. The kids loved the pool and beautiful beach. The home was well equipped to prepare our meals and we enjoyed dining on the patio. Very close to the shops and dining at Rosemary and Alys Beach. We hope to return soon and create more memories.

Great location and perfect vacation home
We stayed in this home with another family. (Total of 9 people.) It was the perfect space. The location was amazing. Just steps away from the beach, bike rental, shopping, etc. Kids absolutely loved that they could jump on their bike and have a sense of freedom in this quiant town. The experience with the owner was top knotch. We had an issue with our wristbands and he was super quick to get back to us. The house had all of the kitchen supplies we would need. It is stocked with limited supplies so I would suggest bringing extra paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, kitchen soap and garbage bags. Overall, I can't wait to book this home again!

End of Summer Getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at Starburst. The beach house was clean and had plenty of space for our 2 families totaling 8 and could easily fit another family. Kitchen well stocked with plenty of seating for dining in. We loved the convenience of this house to beach just a few steps out the back door to the walkway to beach. The private beach area designated for the neighborhood we rented in was awesome bc not crowded at all. This was very reassuring for us amidst Covid. Our entire process from beginning to end was great especially with Hunter, the owner. He was always fast and polite in answering all our questions and concerns. Will definitely rent here again and recommend to friends.
