Incredible Property and Host

This home is spotless and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful details throughout. The location couldn’t be better—easy bike rides or short walks get you just about anywhere you want to go. The beach and pool are only a few minutes away, and the third-floor balconies offer a lovely ocean view—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Karen is an incredibly generous and responsive host. As first-time visitors to 30A, we really appreciated all the helpful tips she shared. She checked in with us mid-week and was quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Incredible!

Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing! The location cannot be beat - a quick walk to the beach, Rosemary shoppes/restaurants, Alys beach shoppes/restaurants and a quick drive to Seaside. The home was beautiful - impeccably clean, plenty of space, and relaxing. I wish I could give it ten stars. The check in process was beyond easy and great consistent communication

Wonderful Home

The home was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of room to spread out as well as wonderful space to come together. My teenagers LOVED the 3rd floor loft and adjoining decks. Great for sunning and hanging out. The house was also very convenient walking distance to restaurants, shops and beach. The owner is AMAZING! She sent wonderful detailed overview of the house amenities and even included some of her family’s favorite things to do in the area. We were all sad to say good-bye to Southern Waves.

AWESOME trip! LOVED 30A

Southern Waves was perfect for our family of 4 - we easily could have had more people! We loved the crows nest area! This was our first trip to 30A but we will be back! The house was beautiful - very well decorated, clean, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Karen was amazing - she checked in on us to see if we needed anything or had any questions - was very sweet. The location was perfect - right at the front of the neighborhood which made access to everything really easy! You can walk to Rosemary and Alys beach and bike everywhere! We had a bonfire on Inlet Beach (30ABlaze), paddle boarded & kayaked Western Lake, had a great day of offshore fishing with Dead Fish Charters, watched many a sunsets on the beach and biked all the way to Seaside! It was nice the house had a few bikes - if you need more Peddlers Village is right up the street, the house also had beach chairs, boogie boards and some beach toys! Can’t go wrong with this house!

Great Property with an Amazing Host

The house is everything you see in the pictures. It is spacious, beautiful, clean, wonderfully designed, a great location, and perfect for a family. The mere fact that it has 4 balconies to choose from is huge to me, who likes to relax on a balcony with a book. I thought the walk to the beach would be farther, but it is very close. The property owner, Karen, was attentive to all our questions and concerns. She is amazing to work with. Besides being close to the beach, the house is very close to a ton of places to eat. You can walk a very short distance to get Italian, pizza to go, or really good Mexican at La Cocina. Just a bit farther there are quite a few eating options in Alys Beach. Rosemary is a very short distance, so you have access to all their restaurants as well. There is really no reason you need to drive to any place to eat. The waits are not long and they almost all offer outdoor seating, which is really nice if you aren't comfortable eating inside yet. Overall this property was perfect for our family and our vacation. I would definitely stay there again, which to me is the highest compliment.

Great House, but Resort has too many rules

I wish I could rate the house and owner separately from the resort that it is situated in. The house and owner were great! Karen was quick to respond and went above and beyond to provide info related to things to do and places to eat in the area. She even texted to let us know that the house was ready before our scheduled check-in time! The house was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Kitchen was well stocked and there were beach chairs and toys on the back porch for our use. We also enjoyed the use of the grill one night. The master beds on the second level were a little too soft, but that is my only complaint. However, the resort had some rules that made things quite inconvenient. We chose this house because it was one of the closest to the beach. We were quite disappointed to find that the beach access runs through another property that imposes strange rules such as no wheeled traffic. This meant that we could not roll our cooler to the beach nor take a wagon with all beach gear (sand buckets, boogie boards, chairs, etc.). Instead, we had to go to a tram stop (there is one close by) and call for a tram. We had to wait up to 30 mins to be picked up with our wheeled items. You can not simply hop on a tram that circulates the property. You must call and wait your turn :(. Also, the last 15 minutes of every hour is reserved for adult swim at the pool. A whistle is blown and staff walk around and instruct children to get out of the pool. What I observed was entire families vacate the pool when this happened. Seemed like a waste to me with this being a family friendly place. One of the reasons we chose this resort was because of the large pool that we knew the kids would enjoy. The adults in our family would prefer to stay at the beach all day and would likely never visit the pool. The resort was clean and staff friendly, but these two rules will keep us from coming back :(

This property is perfectly located with only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It is just across 30A which makes it very walkable to restaurants and shopping. The beds were comfortable and the house has everything you need for your stay. Karen, our host, was very responsive to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to answer any questions I had about the area and the house. We loved this house and would definitely stay here again.

A Beautiful Home in an Incredible Location – Just Be Prepared for Peak Season Crowds

Southern Waves is in a fantastic location between Rosemary and Alys Beach. We chose it for its close beach access and resort-style pool—and both delivered! The home is beautiful, comfortable, well-stocked, and communication with the owner was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the fireworks views and truly appreciated how well-cared-for the home was.That said, during peak weeks, expect crowds. This isn’t the fault of the homeowner, just a reality of the popular SeaCrest community. Much of the beach is reserved for chair service (75/day for two chairs/umbrella), leaving limited space for others. No wagons or canopies are allowed, and beach security strictly monitors boundaries. We were up early many mornings just to claim a spot.The pool is lovely but often full, with guests holding chairs for long periods—even when not using them—which made it tough to enjoy at times.Despite that, we had a great stay. The home was peaceful, relaxing, and ideal for quality family time. We’ll definitely return—just during a quieter week. Highly recommend this property and host!

Great spot!

We absolutely loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to everything we needed in both Alys and Rosemary. The home itself was newer, very clean, and thoughtfully designed. We especially enjoyed the third-floor area, which offered ocean views and a great place to relax in the evenings. The layout and condition of the property exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience in Rosemary beach

My wife and I stayed here for an long weekend and it was just an absolute joy. Proximity to Alys beach and Rosemary was perfect. Great restaurants, easy beach access, and the property itself has wonderful gulf views and plenty of space. Our host was wonderful with communication and we will be booking again in the future very soon!

Beautiful and Clean!

This was a beautiful property! We only stayed for 2 nights, but I would love to come back for a longer stay! The rooms were very large and the living and dining room were great for our family to socialize in. The only negative was that check in was at 6pm, however we were able to get into the house early when I reached out to the property manager. Great place!
