Southern Serenity Carriage House – Cozy Coastal Living in Rosemary Beach

The carriage house was the perfect place to stay with my husband and 2 young children (9 and 5). It was a great location and came with 2 bikes.

The location is top notch! The beds are comfortable. Understanding it is a rental and there will some wear and tear on the property, however … this property had one too many things needing attention…The carpet on the spiral stairs is a disgrace! As well as both area rugs.We would have enjoyed coffee or cocktails on the deck… no chairs/tableIt couldn’t be too costly to add a full length to the back of a door OR one of empty walls on main floor bedroom… shower rod rusted and curtain beyond cheap…Frying pans need to be replaced… there was ONE suitable wine glass …Only stating this because there is an expectation when it comes to RM BEACH!

All appliances dented upon arrivalHi! sone initial thoughts on our accommodations: we are very thankful for our location and vacation and we've saved and planned for this vacation for months; drove 8 hours as well. The photos online of our accommodations were amazing and unfortunately, upon arrival, we entered to see dented appliances, stained chair, wobbly refrigerator and what feels like unstable spiral stairs, and a bathroom upstairs with a curtain rather than a door and a sink inside our bedroom area. We just feel that what we saw online doesn't match what we have, and it's a disappointment.

Though small, this property was comfortable for 4 people. The location is excellent- easy walks to beach, pools, shopping and restaurants.

After coming to Rosemary for 20 years, this was definitely the most disappointing rental. The rental was “clean”, but still gross from the old rusted fixtures and worn out carpet and finishes. Most of the rental seems to be an original un-renovated Rosemary property that has been rented weekly. The cleaning crew made sure the house was “clean” with fresh sheets, but I’ve stayed in nicer Motel 6’s. It is in desperate need of a renovation to be at 30-a standards.

The location is quite nice. Access to all Rosemary Beach amenities in walking distance - beach, dining, shopping bike paths and trails. The residence is nicely out fitted but I will opt for more square footage next time. It's a little tight for three people especially in the kitchen.

--- **Disappointing Stay - Would Not Recommend** I’m not one to write reviews or complain, so this is hard for me to write, but I’m really disappointed with my stay at this carriage house. I had read the negative reviews before booking, but stated been updated -unfortunately, it didn’t reflect the current state of the property. There was a strong, unpleasant smell of MUSKY AND MOLD, throughout the house. When I complained, they sent someone over to spray and clean the vent, which was filthy! If I could attach pictures I would. The carpet was so dirty it was black, and I couldn't relax at all because of the overall lack of cleanliness. There is 2 beds upstairs with an open commode and a shirt shower curtain for a privacy (gross). You can also brush your teeth from the bed since the sink is at the end. Additionally, the pool connected to the house was noisy and distracting, which didn’t help the situation. Sadly, this experience has left a bad impression, and I won’t be using this rental company or this particular carriage house again. We usually love staying in carriage houses, but this one was a disappointment. -l
