Wonderful experience in Rosemary beach

My wife and I stayed here for an long weekend and it was just an absolute joy. Proximity to Alys beach and Rosemary was perfect. Great restaurants, easy beach access, and the property itself has wonderful gulf views and plenty of space.

AWESOME STAY!

My husband and I have stayed at many places on 30a and this is by far the best rental we have stayed at. The house was clean, had plenty of room, it is convenient to everything, pool, beach, restaurants etc. And Karen has been great through the whole rental process. We will definitely be booking a stay here again!

Karen was such a pleasure to work with. We were allowed to check in earlier than expected, which is such a bonus. The house is so clean, comfortable, and a close walk to the beach and pool area. The location is perfect for enjoying great restaurants and shops along 30A. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Comfortable and convenient

This beach house is in a great location with quick access to many restaurants, the beach and the community pool. Although we had less than perfect weather for our trip, we took advantage of the cloudy days by biking up and down 30A. Excellent trip and Karen was very accommodating to our early arrival and offered up several tips and suggestions for things to do nearby which we took full advantage of. Great overall stay!

Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing! The location cannot be beat - a quick walk to the beach, Rosemary shoppes/restaurants, Alys beach shoppes/restaurants and a quick drive to Seaside. The home was beautiful - impeccably clean, plenty of space, and relaxing. I wish I could give it ten stars. The check in process was beyond easy and great consistent communication

Fantastic home.

This is a high quality home in a great location almost directly on 30A. The owner was accessible and communicated very well. Our crowd consisted of 3 adults and 6 teenagers and we all had plenty of space to hangout together or retreat to personal space easily. The pool at the resort is massive and a relatively short walk. We spent most of our time at the beach which is a little bit of a hike. Our group would definitely stay here again.

Spring vacation

Our family had a wonderful time. The kitchen was fully stocked for the nights we cooked in. The upper decks have an amazing view! We have been vacationing on 30a for 7 years and this is definitely the best property we have stayed in. The fenced in backyard was also a huge hit with our toddler. The home is in the prefect location for walking to the pool and close enough to walk to the beach.

Great location, easy, comfortable, fun!

We stayed last week of May and had a great time! The house is adorable and perfectly located. Easy walk to pool, beach, and all shops and restaurants from Alys to Rosemary Beach. Our kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the less crowded time at the Seacrest beach around sunset. Highly recommend searching out the state beaches for less crowds and natural beauty. We went to Shell Island at the tip of Panama city several days. Absolutely stunning. Owner was very helpful with information and prompt. Would definitely rent again if in the area.

Wonderful Home

The home was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of room to spread out as well as wonderful space to come together. My teenagers LOVED the 3rd floor loft and adjoining decks. Great for sunning and hanging out. The house was also very convenient walking distance to restaurants, shops and beach. The owner is AMAZING! She sent wonderful detailed overview of the house amenities and even included some of her family’s favorite things to do in the area. We were all sad to say good-bye to Southern Waves.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Maziarz

Host profile image
Our family has been visiting the Florida Panhandle to vacation for the last 25 years. We've stayed in Destin, Navarre, Perdido Key, Seagrove, Dune Allen, Old Florida and for the last 10 years in the Rosemary and Seacrest Beach communities. Our kids have grown up on the beaches of 30A and these beaches remain our favorite spot to relax, visit with family and friends and remember why we work so hard the rest of the year.

As we watch our children and now grandchildren we wanted to stay connected to all the fond memories and decided to purchase a property we could enjoy with our clan and share with families like yours. We looked at many homes, but the location of our home made the decision easy for us.

We welcome you and your family and friends to enjoy all that the beaches of 30A have to offer and there is no better feeling than a late night stroll on the beach, a bike ride up and down 30A or sneaking out for donuts and coffee in the morning to help you remember what life and living is all about.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the first time we looked at photos in the listing and it was the first home we asked about when we got serious about buying. We looked at a number of other properties up and down 30A, but this house feels like home to us. It feels connected to all that makes the Alys, Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach communities special. You are minutes from world class beaches, postcard views, great restaurants, fantastic State Parks and at the same time a world away from commutes, overloaded schedules and the daily grind.

P.S. We live in Tampa, FL home to some of the world's finest beaches including Siesta Key, Clearwater Beach, Pass-A-Grille, and Fort Desoto and Seacrest Beach is where we decided to buy a beach house. We've traveled as a family to the Yucatan, Big Sur, Greece, Spain, Costa Rica and Belize and have never found a place that feels more like home than the beaches of 30A. Even if you don't end up staying with us, give the area a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

What makes this property unique

After a day at the beach, at the pool, on the golf course, a long walk or bike ride, Southern Waves provides an oasis where you can kick back, read a book, play some board games, eat too much and sleep as late as you want (or can). Our guests always tell us they love being one lot away from 30A, but the location feels secluded as it is away from the main streets. Take coffee on the third floor and plan your day and head back up with a bottle of wine in the evening to watch the sunset and relax to the sounds of the wind and awaits.
