We had a great stay at sylvia’s cottage- everything was well equipped and comfortable, the kids loved the bunk beds, and we had ample space for grandparents too.
We loved using the pool and spa every day as well, it was a wonderful home away from home.
Key rental was helpful in getting extras we needed and 30A rentals was easy to work with

Excellent place to stay to get away from quarantine!! 2 minutes from the beach has a pool to cool off in too! Enough space to spread out for mom and dad and two college age girls. Beautiful setting and close to everything!!

We're so pleased to hear that we were able to provide a getaway for your family. Thanks for this great review, Bonnie! Please come back and stay with us again soon.
This house was perfect for our family of five adults and two kids! Great location and stocked with everything we needed. As other reviewers have noted, this isn’t a true four bedroom (the “bunk room” is just an alcove in a hallway and not closed in), but after long fun days at the beach, the kids slept well! We had a wonderful week and look forward to coming back!
Came to Rosemary for a tennis tournament with friends. The house was very comfortable for a big group. The management company was fantastic! They took care of anything within minutes. The location is perfect.

Sylvia’s Cottage was the best getaway for a quick family vacation. We had a kiddo with us and the walk to the beach and downtown was the perfect distance. The house was gorgeous and bedroom/bathrooms were perfect for 3 couples and some kids! We used the beach cruisers and were able to rent a kids bike near by. We are definitely going to come back. Thank you for such an awesome time!

Home was perfect for our two families, 4 adults and 4 kids. Layout was great, kitchen and living room. The pool was great after a hot day at the beach or walking for cooling off. House was in good shape. Downstairs shower was a bit tight, but other than that, we had a great time and experience. The house is perfectly located to Rosemary Town Square and the Beach. Truly a perfect location.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 July 2023
Thank you, Daniel! We're so pleased that you had such a wonderful time.
Clean, exactly as described, great location. However, the pool heater did not work, the AC took an entire day to cool, and the Wifi had to be restarted, but they were quick to try to resolve all the above issues.
It IS unfortunate that we had to evacuate due to a hurricane 2 days in and these agreements do not allow for ANY flexibility on rescheduling or compensation.

The house was just as described. The layout was perfect for our family, everyone had privacy and the common spaces were perfect. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table and security of the pool layout with young children. My only complaint is, one week went too quickly. I would also like to mention, the proximity to the beach was awesome! Perfect, clean and nicely furnished. Will definitely be back.

Bringing my family to the beach I knew would be challenging with 4 grandkids under 4 but it was amazing. The house was the perfect size for all of us and so close to the beach..which was so helpful. We rented chairs, baby equipment and had groceries waiting for us when we arrived. The weather was perfect as was the beach. We hired a local photographer to capture memories of this magical trip. Will make it an annual trip for sure.

Rented this property for the great outdoor space and fenced pool, which all provided shaded areas for summer play with young kids. Was disappointed in the condition of the property, which seemed below average standards for Rosemary beach rentals . For example, broken hardware, dingy furniture, molded shower curtain and a pool with many missing tiles. The towels and sheets at least appeared clean. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the outdoor space and fenced pool worked well for your kids, but we’re truly sorry to hear the property didn’t meet your expectations. We take your concerns seriously and will address these issues with our team.

Great Area
Great location! House was very accommodating. Close to beach and restaurants.Online inaccuracy--This is not a 4 bedroom. The bunk room has a very wide entrance with no door. Made it hard for young children and baby.Had issues with the heater for pool/spa which was reimbursed.Lack of maintenance of outside large patio and pool. These areas were filled with seedlings and debris from overhead trees. We understand, but large areas needed to be blown every other day. Pool filled with seedlings. Filter going all night you would think would skim. Too small for net to pick up.Filtered water and ice was an amenity that lacked. The house needed one but they didn't keep one stocked for this home.

We had a pretty good stay. Unfortunately a fruit fly issue continued in the kitchen during our stay. The house was clean it could use updating overall. Beds were comfy. Back yard was private but not as well kept the outdoor lightening chords were present and accessible for our young grandkids to grab. Gardens area not as well kept. We had the repair team show up to do a monthly hvac filter change during our stay which we felt was inappropriate during our stay. Could have been done before or after we checked out. Probably would not rent again. Did enjoy the beach access and easy access to the town center

Sylvia's Cottage has excellent potential. We were very pleased with the location of the house related to the beach (2 minute walk) and very close to the shops/restaurants (2-3 minute walk). The layout of the house is also nice for extended family/friend groups as well as kids. The house could use some updates in regards to amenities to make it more upscale and luxury. It was nice to have the pool and hot tub on the property to cool off after the beach sun. No working pool light though for night hours.Kitchen is very well stocked.We did have an issue with some ants in 2 of the rooms (bunk beds and TV room) which was disappointing. The management company promptly responded to our request. Traps were put out and an exterminator came out to spray both the inside and outside of the house. Unfortunately, this did not completely take care of the problem so the exterminator did return to find some water damage on a side of the house which likely lead to the problem. Property management was made aware of this and did respond accordingly. I do appreciate their responsiveness. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and would return to the house with the understanding that the above listed issues were completely resolved.
