My family and I stayed in the area two years ago and had a wonderful time. There is a feeling of being in a happening place without the clutter of high rise hotels, rush hour traffic, and those awful big name chain stores. It was refreshing to be away from the maddening crowd. This year some friends and I had... more

We just returned from 6 wonderful days in Rosemary. I would absolutely love to retire here. We rented a carriage house with our two children (ask for Heather at rosemary beach cottage rentals - she is great). Our carriage had a pool - what a treat, especially since the main house was empty. We went after the summer crowds -... more

If you're looking for nightlife, hot spots and hook ups - fuhgetaboutett !! But for a family with small children, or a quiet, middle-aged couple like us, it was perfect. We stayed in a carriage house 100 yards from the beach. It was like living in a photo straight out of Architecural Digest. With two stories above a great place... more

This is the perfect place for families with kids ages 7 through 13. It's a tightly navigated town with wide sidewalks, footpaths and crosswalks. No one drives within RB. The only "traffic" is on 30-A and those cars drive slower than the bikes. You can let your kids go on their own without fear of them getting taken or run... more

Date: July 2008 We just returned from our fourth visit to Rosemary. Our family of 9 loves every aspect of this resort except for the check-in system. They advertise that you may have your house between 4 and 6, but this year we did receive access until almost 9 pm! This is unacceptable! They made a limp apology and passed... more

Rosemary Beach is a Seaside FL alternate destination. We summered at Seaside for many years, but this year went to Rosemary Beach (www.rosemarybeach.com) . We rented a home about 200 paces from the beach (Mozell Cottage). The Rosemary beach experience is very positive. They have all the amenities-- ie. nice beach,, tons of family activities, lots of restaurants (starbucks too),... more

We found Rosemary Beach three summers ago when friends told us about this "jewel" of a quiet, quaint beach community they'd found near the Panama City/Destin area. The Beach: Think pristine, untouched (almost) Florida. This is the whitest of sand...like sugar. We LIVE in Florida and have been to more beaches than we can count, and nothing beats the sugary... more

We spent a week in a carriage house just off the beach in Rosemary Beach. Everything in this town is top notch. If you are looking for a commercialized area with every chain restaurant, this is not for you. The town is immaculate, spotless, lanscaping very well manicured. The playgrounds were fun. The four pools in town are excellent with... more

Our family of four joined another of three to stay in a cottage near the fitness center. Everything was upscale and beautiful. Our kids (1 and 3) had a blast. Clean, safe, family friendly, good food, and a beautiful beach. It's expensive but worth every penny. more
