Mother daughter getaway

We had an amazing time during our mother/daughters trip, and this house was absolutely perfect for us. It provided ample living space, and the bedrooms were wonderfully spacious. The kitchen was well stocked, making it a breeze to prepare meals, and we loved sipping on our glasses of wine while enjoying the porch. The house's location was ideal, as it was conveniently close to the boardwalk for easy access to the beach. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Ideal location with plenty of space for our family

Beautiful home in one of the best locations in Rosemary. Plenty of space for our large family to both spread out and be together. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well appointed, everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation. The owner was very responsive and helpful! We would definitely stay here again, thanks for a great trip!

Fantastic House!

We recently stayed in the McDonald house - 2 families,: 4 adults, 6 kids (ages 5-12). We have rented in Rosemary multiple times and this is now our favorite home. LOCATION: The location is perfect... on a walkway to the beach, close to pool, green space and the shops/restaurants. INTERIOR: The pictures do not do the interior justice. The layout is great. There was plenty of room to spread out. We cooked all our meals and we weren’t missing one thing in the kitchen. Plus there was more than enough seating for our group of ten (seating for meals and seating to relax). All the beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms (not just the two TRUE masters). The bunk room is huge! The third floor deck is a great place to hangout with its ocean views. The wrap around deck was also an enjoyable place to relax. I should be embarrassed that this serves as a highlight of the house... but they have a new high end, large capacity washer and dryer (with six kids that don’t know how to hang a towel and change after every swim, we really appreciated the new machines that aren’t pictured in the photos). The home also has an outdoor closet that was fully stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. Owner: The owner was responsive, thoughtful and made sure we knew everything we needed to know and had everything we needed to enjoy the home. I would book this home again and again!

Perfect location!

We have stayed for many years in Rosemary and this home is a perfect location! The owner Elizabeth, was very helpful & nice! Everything in the home is very comfortable. Beds were comfortable, which is a big deal! Kitchen is stocked with anything you need! We used the ice maker a lot! I am a designer so I wish some things were updated to current trends but overall the home is great. This home has two masters. One up, one down. Love the room with two queen beds! We didn’t use the bunk room but if we would have had more people with us, it would have been great! The third floor deck is lovely to watch sunsets! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
