Southern Serenity Cottage - Rosemary Beach, Heated Pool, 3-Minutes to Beach

The Southern Serenity Cottage has been completely redesigned this year by the famous local design firm Tracery Interiors. It is gorgeous and you will love it!

On the western end of our quaint coastal town lies Southern Serenity Cottage, a home perfect for a large family or group couples getaway. The West Indies inspired architecture is quintessential Rosemary Beach style, and its comfortable interior will make you feel right at home.

Each of the bedrooms has their own flat screen TV including the bonus third story closed-in loft with private bath, bunk bed, and separate twin bed - perfect for kids and late night story telling.

The main living floor on the second story boasts an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and multiple private balconies making this an easy space for entertaining many guests. Watch your favorite game on the oversized flat screen TV with surround sound, nestle by the fireplace, or get comfy at the game table while trying your hand at chess. Also on the main floor is the kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and dining area to accommodate six plus nearby circular table accommodating up to four. After dinner head outside for some fresh air on the shuttered balcony overlooking your own private courtyard.

Both the Cabana Pool & Barbados Pool are within walking distance as well as local boutiques, delectable restaurants and our beautiful beaches. Prefer to stay in? No problem.

FL Spring Break

We stayed in Southern Serenity cottage during Spring Break this year. We loved the location and the layout of the home was really nice. It suited our family very well and we could walk to everything. The living room setup was outstanding. We experienced a few issues as the back door handle was completely off upon arrival and a locksmith switched it out for one of the upstairs door locks we didn't use as much. It was pretty inconvenient since we had paid to heat the pool, but couldn't use the back door with the pool alarm going off as a result. All in all, a positive experience though and we'd go back again.

Perfect location!

We loved staying here. The only issue was the bunk room is. It exactly what is stated on line. Irs kind of like an attic and the beds aren’t even regular length, so unless you’re a little kid, it’s hard to sleep comfortably. There is also no bathroom. So we didn’t even end up using that room. The cleanliness of the house was good, perfect location, and pretty! It’s not stalked well so you will have to bring EVERYTHING . All in all, a great stay!

A Perfect Stay

We stayed at this property for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! The house was beautiful, fully stocked with everything we needed and in the best location. Easy walk to the beach and all of the great restaurants and shops in both Rosemary and Alys Beach. The communication from booking through departure was fantastic and I truly cannot recommend this property enough.

Perfect Spring Break

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this house for our Spring Break. It is close to everything! The kids loved the pool and we had it heated for the week which made it perfect. The beds were all very comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. The fireplace was a bonus that we didn’t realize we would enjoy so much for those cool nights.

Loved this Cottage

We’ve been coming to Rosemary since the early 2000s. This is one of my favorite cottages we’ve stayed in. Loved the location. So close to all the shops and restaurants and to the beach. The Cottage was up to date and well kept. We had a great time!

Outside landscaping and decks need some TLC. Kitchen needs some additional basic cooking tools, like strainer and whisk. Bikes which come with the rental are a great perk.

The Hurricane Trip

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: 30A Luxury Rentals was awesome EVEN in a pandemic year and EVEN the week of a hurricane. With all that happened this year in 2020, we needed a clean, spacious place to rest and relax together away from our home. The Southern Serenity Cottage was the perfect place to meet up with family we hadn’t seen all year and just chill. 30A went above and beyond to make it special in the midst of crazy circumstances, and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Fun winter getaway

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: Had a wonderful experience for a long weekend in February. House had everything we needed and more. Even had coffee, creamer, and paper towels to get us through the first day. Close to everything and great layout for a family. Heated pool was a fabulous addition when we didn't want to go to the community pools. Only recommendation would be that it would help to have a manual to work the remote for the television, but might be easier to those familiar. Overall, wonderful experience and hope to return this summer!

Decent Stay

Overall, we enjoyed the location of the property. However, a big issue was that the dishwasher broke on our first day. This was a significant inconvenience as I had to hand wash dishes for 9 people, 3 meals a day. I was hoping we would have been contacted to remedy the situation. The repair wasn't completed until our last night at the cottage. Also, this house was extremely noisy. If you were on the 1st floor, which is where the bedrooms are you could hear every little noise on the 2nd and 3rd floor. It was distracting during kids naps and nighttime.

Magical Mother daughter getaway on 30A - July 22

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: This is an incredible home with all of the amenities you would want for a beach vacation. The home was clean, beds & pillows were all very high quality! 2 blocks from the beautiful private beach and centrally located between restaurants and shops! Perfect private home pool too! Could use a few throw blankets, better storage in bunk room along with ceiling fan & loungers by the pool (just a few suggestions) but extremely Happy with our stay. Loved having the 4 bikes and it’s a magical community. Bonus to have the ice maker and kitchen is nicely stocked!! Management company was very quick to respond with any questions we had and very friendly!! Vacay was 10/10. Definitely will come back!!
