Wander along Scenic Highway 30A on the Emerald Coast and you’ll happen across a chic coastal town like no other. Welcome to Rosemary Beach.
Picture yourself under a beach umbrella on an endless stretch of sugar-white sand. See yourself strolling through a quiet town square ringed with cafés and restaurants, and neighborhoods of quaint cottages. If you’ve never been here, you’ve never been to a town quite like it. The setting is as beautiful as it is unique, and our Rosemary Beach vacation rentals are in the beauty of it all Rosemary is reminiscent of the West Indies, Charleston and the French Quarter of New Orleans – and yet a town distinctly its own.
Designed around the principles of New Urbanism, Rosemary Beach is grounded to the idea of community. Public parks, gardens, community swimming pools, and tennis courts are connected by footpaths and boardwalks. Discreet trails will lead you from your Rosemary Beach house rental to the town square where you can meet a friend for lunch. Meander through the winding streets and parks toward the Gulf of Mexico and you’ll find a beach of quartz sand so white and pristine that it squeaks under your bare feet.
While the architecture will inspire you, the atmosphere will soothe your soul. All of the custom Rosemary Beach houses and condos are architecturally unique and showcase the town as a beautifully designed community that reflects the intricate tastes of the fortunate few who live here. Since its inception, Rosemary has been a magnet for artists and writers. The square is home to a number of studios and cafés where the creative spirit can flourish. And nothing inspires like the turquoise waters of the Emerald Coast.
The town character is coastal and oh-so laid back. Take a short walk from your Rosemary Beach vacation rental and stop in at one of many cafés, such as the Summer Kitchen or the Wild Olive on Barrett Square. Linger on a bench in the shade of the trees after a morning on the beach. The Pensione Inn and the Cowgirl Kitchen are just down the street from the Town Hall. For something different, stroll down Main Street to La Crema for fondue, Spanish strawberries or chocolate soup.
It’s all about community at Rosemary Beach. In the summer, bring a blanket to Western Green and enjoy a movie under the stars with the family. During the day, the kids will treasure their time with other kids at Camp Rosemary. Browse the open-air market booths filled with pottery, jewelry, woodcarvings, stained glass, paintings and handcrafts. Of course the finest beach in the world is just down the street from many of our Rosemary Beach rentals.
The four pools of Rosemary are spectacular in their own right. Walk or ride your bike from your house rental to the distinctive Coquina, Sky, Barbados or Cabana Pools, and relax in style. The Rosemary Beach Fitness and Walking Trail is a 2.3-mile sand path and boardwalk that is as relaxing as it is fun. An afternoon on the courts can be had at the Rosemary Beach Racquet Club. If a workout is what you crave, drop by the Fitness Center.
The town of Rosemary Beach will take you back to a time and place where there was no rush-hour traffic and gridlock. It’s a community where a breakfast croissant and coffee can be shared with a friend at a café just down the street from your cottage. The people who live and visit here call it paradise. And it’s a lot closer than you think. Experience it for yourself in any of our Rosemary Beach vacation rentals.
