Carefree Cottage - Magnificent Rosemary Beach home w/ a private pool
***VRBO Top Rated Home for 2025***
All your 30A vacay dreams come true at Carefree Cottage— a magnificent Rosemary Beach home with a soaring roofline resembling a modern fairytale castle. Carefree Cottage has a private pool, a gorgeous open layout, and dramatic swirls of spiral staircases leading up to the stunning rooftop terrace.
On the first floor, the wide-open great room features a huge wall of windows overlooking the pool. The living area is generous and comfy— with plush armchairs, an inviting sofa, and a built-in relaxation space next to the fireplace that’s the perfect place to catch an afternoon siesta. Crisp white beams frame the driftwood-inspired accents on the ceiling.
In the kitchen, an ample island has bar seating for four, a deep apron sink, dishwasher, ice maker and a microwave. There’s also a spacious stainless steel refrigerator, gas stove with a pot filler, and a double wall oven. There is easy access to the alfresco living area, outdoor kitchen, and barbecue area. Chances are your group will spend most of their time out here, lounging by the sun-drenched pool or having lunch at the outdoor dining table.
Three private, spacious bedrooms on the second floor provide plenty of peaceful sleeping space. On the second floor, the first bedroom has a king-size bed and a full ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has two twin-size beds. The third bedroom is the dazzling primary suite — complete with a luxurious king-size bed, glass desk, and balcony access. The spa-like ensuite primary bathroom has a double marble vanity and rainfall showerhead. There is also a cozy bunk area with twin-over-twin size beds in the hallway.
Climb the spiral staircase to the third floor and the fourth and final bedroom lair. This bedroom has a fun, loft-like feel with four twin-sized beds and beanbag chairs. There’s also a full bathroom with a double vanity. Outside through the French door is a stunning rooftop patio with a fire pit, pergola, and lounge chairs.
At Carefree Cottage, you’ll be tucked into a quaint Rosemary Beach neighborhood while also being within easy walking distance of bustling Barrett Square and some delicious cafes and eclectic boutiques. The Rosemary Beach walkover is a short walk or bike ride away. Carefree Cottage is like having your very own five-star luxury resort with all the conveniences, comforts, and privacy of home.

Absolutely beautiful property! Perfect floor plan for both the adults and children, everyone had their own space. The home is decorated beautifully. Our favorite area was the private pool, perfect for relaxing in after a day at the beach! Communication with the property management company is excellent. The location is wonderful, walk around the corner and experience fantastic boutiques or a pleasant convenient walk to the gorgeous beach! We are already planning our next booking at this lovely property!

Nice stay!
I’d give it 5 star but the house is somewhat worn and we had no trash pick up during the mid week. Staff addressed all our concerns promptly,

Family Holiday Vacation
My husband and I gave 5 days at this home to our adult children for a Christmas present. We absolutely loved it!
The home is beautiful, large and in a great location! All of the bedrooms have there own bathrooms which is so nice but there are two King beds and the rest of the beds are twins which didn’t work well with the other couples in our group. Also, the upholstered furniture needs a rehab. The sofa and chairs are a little tired. With all of this said, We loved our time together in Rosemary and would rent this home again.

House is great....management communication not so much
Solid house & good location
TV/Showers aren't easy to use. Had to call management to help elderly parents figure out TVS. By the end of the trip we all figured out showers but took 7 days including the teenagers. We had to download apps to computers to get TVs to work.
Entire house was congested from day one. Turns out air filters were upside down & clogged. We had to call to have them changed on Thursday.
Make sure to read your contract. The mgt company sticks to that no matter what. I would not consider pool to be "private". There is one bush btwn the pool from the neighbors. Out of the 7 days that we were there, there were three days that you couldn't sit by the pool bc of the construction next door. Dust, saws, etc. You could not hear anyone talk. Again, all management said was read your contract. They take no responsibility for anything beyond that. Blamed construction schedules out of their hands. I totally understand that but some sort of responsibility and at least notice would have been nice for the price we paid for the house. Don't expect the management company to reach out when you have a need. I called on Wednesday regarding the chlorine and never heard back. Pool isn’t salt water, its chlorine. They came twice on the four days that we could actually sit by the pool to treat it & we were told don’t get in for at least four hours. Pool lights don’t work per pool company.
Check out is at 10am...cleaners arrived at 830am making us feel like we needed to rush around to make sure we got out asap.
Make sure to lock upstairs porch leading to house & gates that lead to staircase going to top floor. We woke up one morning with random beer cans (not from our house) on the porch at the fire pit. I would assume some teens went up there after our family left for dinner.
Doors to outside fireplace on main level are not operational.
Pictures from management company show that you can open them up but in reality you cannot. Something that we were looking forward to. Our family is big on open spaces.
When we arrived there was a note from previous renters in the dishwasher that said "we have been calling for many days to have dishwasher fixed. Told repeatedly that repair people were coming and they never showed". The dishwasher was filled with water, on the second day we did get a “loaner” dishwasher. Asked not to take the blue film off the front.
House itself is very well stocked. Beds are comfortable.

Engagement Weekend
This property was absolutely perfect for our very special weekend. My son actually proposed on the rooftop at sunset and we enjoyed the weekend with family by the pool, watching Saturday football games and the proximity of the house to the center of the Rosemary community. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to rent!
