The house was well stocked and very clean. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was how crowded the beach got. I believe it said it was a private beach, but if didn’t feel that way at all.
It was spacious, beautifully decorated and a great location. Easy access to the beach, too.

Hi Lee,
We are so excited to hear that you absolutely enjoyed your stay with us at Pelican Watch with 30A Cottages. We hope to have you back soon! Safe travels home!
We went to celebrate my husbands 60th and this location was perfect. Plenty of space for all, extremely comfortable beds, close to so many restaurants… highly recommend!
We have stayed in the Sunset Villa 7 years in a row. This time we brought our son’s girlfriend. The house and set up was perfect for bringing significant others. The walk to the beach was perfect. Kitchen had everything we needed. Definitely will stay again.

Hi Valerie, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you had such a great vacation, and we hope to welcome you back for many more years to come! Let us know when you're ready to get back to the beach and we are happy to help. Thank you! ~ The 30A Cottages Family
Our stay in Rosemary Beach was fantastic! The accommodations were simply perfect. Everything you would require for an extended visit was provided by the homeowners. Pelican Watch was very spacious, extremely clean and in a convenient location to everything along 30A. Wonderful restaurants, shops, bike path, beach, pool, etc. were all within a very short walk. A quick drive provided easy access to everything else in the area. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of a property!
Perfect house for a girls trip! It’s close to the beach and all the nearby shopping and restaurants. The kitchen and bedrooms were spacious and well equipped with everything we needed! We loved have a bathroom for each bedroom, as well as an extra full bath on the main floor. The beach is pretty crowded because it is the public access for a lot of the area, but we knew that going in. Would definitely recommend!
What an amazing experience! The purpose of our trip was to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation, and every aspect was perfect! From the great accommodations to the gorgeous water to the bikes included in our rental, we could not have had a better time. Thank you for an excellent experience! 'Excited to return soon!

Hi Dawn, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are so excited to hear that you had such a wonderful vacation and graduation celebration. It sounds like you made some amazing memories. Please pass along congratulations from all of us here at 30A Cottages! We'll see you next time!
Lovely time at this space. Super clean and well equipped. Re community— Bikes weren’t really allowed in the gated space, which was a bummer for the kids. Also no golf carts allowed. Beach access was great and well protected by security.

Hi Suma,
Thank you for your honest review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us at Pelican Watch. It truly is a magnificent property, and we try to make sure every guest has what they need to enjoy their stay. Unfortunately, that community is a little strict on what you can and cannot do as many pedestrians walk within the tight sidewalks and incoming traffic. Regardless, we hope this did not interrupt your stay too much and hope we can have you stay with us again in the future!
The home was great. It was well furnished and very comfortable for six of us. We plan to stay here again in the future. My only complaint was the crowded beach. It doesn't seem like the space available at our beach access point was sufficient. We managed by going down to the public access at Inlet Beach.

Thank you, Dale! We are so happy you enjoyed our home and had such a wonderful vacation! We are sorry about the crowded beach area. With such beautiful beaches (that are pretty hard to beat!), many areas on 30A have become very popular during the peak summer months and can get a bit crowded. But we are so glad you found the Inlet Beach access and made the most of it! There are plenty of beach access options in the area, which is a great perk! Thanks again for staying with us ~The 30A Cottages Team
Accurate representation. Comfortable and well equipped accommodations. Quick response by management to request for additional info. Fairly tight garage space. Confusing door lock operations.

Hi Richard, thank you for the 5 Star Review! We are sorry there was some confusion with the operation of the lock, but please keep in mind you can reach out to us anytime with any questions or issues and we are happy to help with any additional instructions or pointers that could be helpful. Thank you again for staying with us and let us know when you need some more beach time! ~The 30A Cottages Family
Absolutely beautiful home, perfect location for a family with 5 children ranging from 3-17. We loved the home and were able to walk to restaurants, super close to beach, and little grocery store down the road. The only issue we had was an electrical issue with the property and unfortunately didn’t have lights in kitchen/dinning room. The owners are going to credit us a little as eating in the dark with kiddos was an interesting experience. We are still waiting on the credit but otherwise this is a wonderful place to stay!
The Home was beautiful and just like it was described in the listing. (except the foosball table was rusted and broke) Great Location. Only had issue with management company when we were locked out the home because the keypad needed a new battery. The number to call you could not leave a message. After an hour, I finally got a response after many text, from the management company, but it took them another hour to arrive and get us back into the house. Otherwise our stay was wonderful.
