We recently stayed in the house for a friends weekend and had the most wonderful experience. The house is so well appointed and in the best location in Rosemary. Contact with the management company was thorough and follow up on any questions we had was quick and helpful. My only constructive feedback would be the pool deck could be better equipped as there was no place to lounge.
Our family had an amazing time at your beautiful home. Great location!

We are thrilled to hear your family had an amazing time with us at Southern Serenity Cottage! We loved having you here with us as well in Rosemary Beach and we hope to see you again!
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.
Great property in a terrific location. In good condition and clean. Very responsive management company.

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!

You can not beat the location if you want to be in Rosemary! Quick walk to two pools and a short walk to the beach. Kids bunks are on the top floor with the kitchen and living space on the 2nd and 3 bedrooms on the bottom floor where you walk in.

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.
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.

Thank you so much for staying with us, and we are glad you enjoyed your time at the Southern Serenity Cottage! The new Sonos sound system makes it really easy to play your own music library through an amazing home speaker, glad you enjoyed it! Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in the future, and we hope to accommodate you again!
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!

Loved the location of this home. Interior was perfectly clean and suited for our group of 6. Comfortable furniture for kids. 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.

We had a wonderful time -the home is beautiful and accommodating -great ice maker and nice new pans-kitchen well stocked. Only minor improvement would be one of the spare bedroom beds is very hard and uncomfortable -all the other beds were 100 tho. Very clean. Easy easy check out -no linen duties which was very nice.
