Water Cottage & Carriage House— Elegant coastal villa w/ pool & space for 16

A casually elegant, luxurious villa filled with magnificent, Mediterranean vibes, Water Cottage & Carriage House is quite possibly the perfect spot for your family’s next coastal getaway. Boasting beautiful design touches like arched doorways, exposed wood beams, and classic cobblestone walkways, this sprawling estate also features a private pool with a waterfall, an efficient elevator, and soaring views of the nearby Gulf of Mexico from the top floor terrace.

The main level of the cottage is wide open and welcoming and features a LIVING AREA with two overstuffed sofas surrounding a chunky wood coffee table. This space also includes a large HDTV and a grand fireplace (not for guest use). Next to the living area is a formal DINING TABLE with seating for eight.

In the nearby open KITCHEN, a spacious stone island has more seating for five and a stainless steel farmhouse sink. This chef-inspired space also features a restaurant-quality gas range, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and a gigantic refrigerator. Next to the kitchen is the LAUNDRY ROOM, with a marvelous, high-efficiency, top-of-the-line LG washer and dryer.

Outside through the French doors, you’ll find your own private COURTYARD, complete with an outdoor kitchen, a swimming pool with a relaxing water fountain feature, and a quaint outdoor living area. This leads to the CARRIAGE HOUSE, which features a LOFT BEDROOM with a king-size bed, a full BATHROOM, a LIVING AREA, and a KITCHENETTE— perfect for in-laws, older children, or anyone in your group that’s looking for a smidge more privacy.

Back in the cottage, the second level features an inviting MEDIA ROOM with a large HDTV, a magnificent WRAP-AROUND PORCH with wonderful views, and four fantastic bedrooms. The FIRST AND SECOND GUEST BEDROOMS are peaceful, private suites, both with one queen-size bed and one twin-over-twin-size bunk bed and FULL, ENSUITE BATHROOMS. This level also includes another BUNK ROOM with a twin-over-twin-size bunk.

The second floor also features a pristine PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE with a sumptuous king-size bed, and an ATTACHED SPA BATHROOM with a double vanity, a step-in shower, and an impressive, free-standing soaking tub. On the third floor, there is another GUEST BEDROOM that features a king-size bed.

Located close to the Gulf of Mexico beaches and also a short stroll away from plenty of popular dining and shopping options, Water Cottage & Carriage House is the spot to hang your hat the next time you visit remarkable Rosemary Beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Water Cottage was great. The house was just as advertised, and easily accommodated our 7 adults and two kids. It is less than a minute walk to the beach access, which made beach days extremely easy as we could walk back and forth if we forgot anything. Management group was very helpful, and communicated very well. We look forward to coming back to stay again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I highly recommend the water cottage & carriage house for a large family. The house was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and the home was in a great location! No fault to the owners but the alarm that goes off to the pool is very annoying and incredibly loud. The house overall was very comfortable I could have stayed there for a month and felt right at home. It would have been a nice touch if there were containers to keep left overs in and actual set of glass cups for nice dinners at the house instead of random plastic cups from previous people who stayed there. We had a few things that needed to be fixed and the rental company did an incredible job fixing it right away. One thing I would like to add to be cautious of is the carriage house door. It randomly locks at times with no rhythm or reason. So always make sure you have the key with you and don’t accidentally leave it in the house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved almost everything about this house with the exception of the door alarms that lead to the pool. Florida law requires door alarms if you don't have a fence around a pool so I understand but during Thanksgiving week when the weather was cool and beautiful, it was torturous to not have the ability to open the doors for alfresco dining...We had 3 kids 10 and under in our party and it was also hard for them to reach the button to disable the alarm so they could enter/exit the door leading the the pool patio. With that being said, I am still rating the home 5 stars because the space was so comfortable for us. The location is perfect and the flow of the house is great for large families or multiple families. We all had plenty of privacy, sound did not travel through the house and the kids had a blast. Note- the fireplace was not working, neither was the gas grill. The management company brought us a portable grill and mentioned both items were being worked on. We also did not have access to park in the garage as we thought we would with our open air Bronco..The pool heater however worked FABULOUSLY. Thank you 30A Luxury Vacations.

2/10

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is nice at first glance and location to the beach is fantastic. When you walk in the house it is impressive. What isn't impressive is the service. We had a ceiling fan in our main room blowing at high speed with no way in turning it off. A broken window that wouldn't close, a leaky faucet. A dirty pool and cockroaches in the top floor laundry .This was all after they made sure to mention that we can't check until a certain time because they walk through the house to make sure everything is in working order. It wasn't.The staff did address the broken window, but we had to sleep with a fan blowing full speed in our face for 3 days waiting for someone to fix the wall switch. Our kids swam in the pool. The next day the pool guy says stay out of the pool because they had to shock the pool water and treat it. There were other issues. We were without a pool for a couple days.When I addressed the concerns and issues and request for partial refund with 30A, after our stay, they accepted no responsibility. They said cockroaches are a part of florida and minimalist everything else as the things mentioned are normal somehow.We will be back to the area however we will NOT rent from 30A. We will not rent because of their response and lack of really caring. The management service was typical and expected, but I was hoping they would make it right. They didn't.
