My family and I had the most amazing stay here! The house is an easy 5-10 minute bike ride from the best restaurants and bars in Rosemary/Alys beach. The easy beach access across the street made our stay very enjoyable. We also loved the porch area for relaxing in the afternoon and grilling dinner. 10/10 would recommend!!

What a beautifully maintained home and peaceful location. The house was spotless and we felt right at home. There is space for 2-3 cars in the driveway, no street parking. We had 4 adults and 3 kiddos (12, 9, 5) and there was plenty of room for everyone and very safe for children. The mattress in the master bedroom was super comfortable, but the top bunkbed mattress and bedroom at the top of the stairs mattress need to be replaced. It was very uncomfortable. The kids loved the community pool which is a block and a half away. 30Avenue, Donut Hole, and Shades Bar and Grill are a 10 minute walk. The beach is walkable, but it's not an easy 30 minute walk, especially with kiddos. There is also very limited parking at the closest public beach entrance. Down side, no parking unless you get there super early. Up side, the beach was not crowded (we came during peak season), the water was a clear blue, and the sand was clean. We loved it! Overall thIs home was one of our favorite airbnbs!

We had a great stay at this Inlet Beach home! The house was very clean—floors were spotless, there were plenty of fresh towels, and everything was well taken care of. I’ve stayed in places that weren’t very clean before, but this one exceeded expectations. The location was great—just a short drive to the beach and close to great restaurants. They even provided beach chairs and a wagon, which came in really handy. The community pool was also a nice bonus. The house had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a beautiful location and home. We had most everything we needed for a pleasant experience. It’s nestled in a quiet neighborhood. We had one minor issue but they resolved it fairly quickly. The homes greatest quality is the large kitchen and common space.
If you have kids the best location is Camp Helen state park for beach. It’s a short hike to the beach but it was so quiet, peaceful, and not crowded at all. The walk to Rosemary beach wasn’t far either but beaches further along are private beaches you won’t have access to. We will definitely be back to this area to stay.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing Airbnb house in Florida, and it exceeded all my expectations! The location was perfect, situated close to stunning beaches, great restaurants, and fun local attractions. The house itself was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities one could ask for.
The spacious living areas, cozy bedrooms, and modern kitchen made it feel like a true home away from home. We particularly enjoyed the private pool and the serene outdoor patio, which provided a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening relaxation.
The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their thoughtful touches, such as a welcome basket and local recommendations, made our trip even more special.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway in Florida. We will definitely be returning on our next visit!
