Generally well kept property in great location close to playgound for children and short walk to beach. Also within walking distance of restaurants and shopping.
Great location, especially for families. Quick access to beach and playground immediately outside from door. Access cards to Rosemary beach and amenities. Clean and well maintained.
Three generations stayed here for our beach vacation and it was loved by all! The house was clean and beautiful and RIGHT next to the beach. Very sweet touches and welcome treats. We all absolutely want to stay again!
This was our first visit to Rosemary Beach and we had a wonderful time. With two young children and a wagon we had no problem walking to the beach, pool and into town. The house was child and family friendly with child safety gates and nice selection of games. We would stay here again.
House had NO CLOSETS - none.. including master suite so spending a week and having to store clothes in armoires - plus suitcases in the room was challenging for a big family! Kitchen appliances were outdated and kitchen was small… also the carriage house shares courtyard, bikes, parking, garage so other guyest often left garage open all night.. just a very weird set up. The location was great - but will not be back.
This home was perfect for our trip! It is 10 steps away from the park, 100 from the pool, and about the same for the beach! The management crew gave us such a kind gift basket upon our arrival. The home was well maintained, and the kitchen tools were stocked along with some spices! Book this house ASAP!

House was perfect, great location to beach and restaurants & shopping
Great proximity to the beach, beautiful house. Stayed 7 days and it was a dream vacation.
The owners are wonderful and we loved the house itself as well as the location. We’ve stayed in several houses in Rosemary but will stay in this one again!
Perfect location and accommodations. We loved the easy proximity to both the pool and beach. We were very comfortable and look forward to visiting again. The extra bonus of owner beach chairs, umbrellas, and floats was appreciated.

Great house and location
We stayed in Freedom by the Sea for a long weekend. It was a wonderful place to stay....something for everyone in our group consisting of 3 generations. We make a yearly trip to Rosemary Beach and this is our favorite place to stay.
This was our first time to Rosemary and we had the most wonderful week at “Freedom at the Beach!” The house was immaculate, thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable. We loved the location from the beach (practically a minute walk to the sand), the cozy beds, and the additional amenities like the Aveda products in each bathroom. Thank you for such a wonderful week. We had the time of our lives and will definitely be back!
