Cozy home 4 mi to FSU & FAMU w/fenced yard, 2 desks & 515 Mbps WiFi

Welcome to Rosemary Retreat, a cozy 3BR/2BA home in a quiet, safe Tallahassee neighborhood, set up for game days, parents weekends, graduation and monthly stays. Ultra fast 515 Mbps WiFi, two dedicated workspaces and a pet friendly fenced backyard with outdoor dining make it easy to settle in:

About 2 miles to Lake Ella
About 3 miles to downtown
About 4 miles to FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium
About 4 miles to FAMU
About 9 miles to the airport

Ideal for game weekends and longer stays.

Rosemary Retreat is a cozy, well set up 3 bedroom, 2 bath home minutes from FSU and FAMU, made for football weekends, parents weekends, graduation and longer stays for visiting faculty and families between homes. It is not a big house, but it lives well: a good sized living room, a dining table that expands when the whole group sits down, two real workspaces and a fenced yard for the dog.

The Living Room
The living room is where everyone lands after the game. A long, comfortable sofa faces a big TV ready for streaming, with wood floors, a ceiling fan and a patterned accent wall that gives the room some personality. On cooler fall and winter evenings, the electric fireplace keeps things cozy (it is an electric fireplace, not a wood burning one).

Dining and Kitchen
The dining area opens right off the living room, with a round table under a chandelier that expands to seat more when you need it, and a sliding glass door out to the screened pool. The bright white kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher and everything you need to cook a real breakfast before kickoff or a family dinner after graduation, plus a little coffee and bar corner on the floating shelves.

Two Real Workspaces
There are two proper desks, so two people can work at the same time without fighting over the kitchen table. The office has a desk, a good lamp and bright art on the walls, and a second desk with its own TV sits in one of the bedrooms. Ultra fast 515 Mbps WiFi covers both.

The Bedrooms
Three bedrooms with comfortable beds, soft linens and dressers for a longer stay. Traveling with little ones? A crib and a stand alone high chair are ready for you.

Laundry
A full laundry room with a washer and dryer makes a week or a month here easy.

The Yard and Screened Pool
Out back, a long, fully fenced yard under the trees gives your dog room to run, and there is plenty of space to hang out outside on mild Tallahassee days. The screened pool has lounge chairs for sunny afternoons. Please note the pool is not heated, so it is a warm weather pool, best in early fall. Up to two dogs are welcome (up to 65 lbs, $150 pet fee), and service animals are always welcome at no charge.

The Location
You are minutes from Florida State University and Florida A&M, about 3 miles from downtown and the Capitol, about 4 miles from Doak Campbell Stadium and FAMU, and about 9 miles from Tallahassee International Airport. Lake Ella and the Publix at Lake Ella Plaza are about 2 miles away, and free parking is on site. Check in is self service, so you can arrive on your own schedule.

Highlights of Your Stay:
• Minutes from FSU and FAMU for game days, parents weekends and graduation
• 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, with a good sized living room and an expanding dining table
• Two real workspaces with 515 Mbps WiFi
• Electric fireplace in the living room for cozy evenings
• Fully fenced backyard, dog friendly (up to 2 dogs)
• Screened pool (not heated) with lounge chairs
• Washer and dryer, dishwasher, crib and high chair, free parking
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

Great vacation house in the city

I stayed here with my two dogs, and we loved it! The backyard was great for the dogs, and the pool was perfect for me! The kitchen is fully stocked for those that want to cook. The pool is screened in, although Florida mosquitoes are determined enough to get in. The location is wonderful as well, very close to everything.

Ideal Location and More

Rosemary Terrace was an ideal location for our time in Tallahassee. So convenient and easy to get to all the places we needed to get to. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Although we did not use the pool, too cold, it is a great outdoor space. We loved all of the small things the owners did for their guests…coffee in labeld containers, snacks, toiletries, cute coffee bar, and more.

This is the best Virbo I have rented to date. I like it so much I already rented it again for a summer visit. The property has everything you need to cook and serve meals. The screened in pool and covered porch area were wonderful day and night. It was great for having morning coffee or evening cocktails. The beds are comfortable and there are pleanty of blankets.

A quiet stay

My family and I have stayed at this house a number of times when visiting relatives in Tallahassee. It’s always clean and well provisioned. The neighborhood is quiet. The pool is nice. Each year our daughter attempts a swim in late December with mixed results. It’s a good place for a group of 2-6 who need some room and plan to prepare some of their meals.
