The upstairs master bathroom is a DREAM! the house was so close to the beach and the walk back and forth was so easy. our kids enjoyed all the tubes, boards, nets, beach toys, shovels and the pool! the house layout was awesome for 2 families -- we never felt on top of each other or in each others way. I loved the large washer and dryer. Having a refrigerator and ice maker in the garage made packing coolers for the beach super easy.

The owner and property management team went way above and beyond to accommodate us in every aspect of our stay, very courteous and professional. The home itself is beautifully furnished in high end decor, with everything we needed for our stay. The location of the beach access is right outside your door. Beach was never crowded as it is private with a code to enter. Having a pool of our very own was a tremendous asset. Providing everything from beach towels to beach chairs and umbrellas made it especially nice. (Next years stay we will leave our beach stuff at home because they have plenty for our family) I can say that this home will be our home to rent from now on. Thank you Ron, Jill and the team at Aqua Properties 30a. The Boone Family :)) ##### Debbie B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura H. Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house, but a couple issues When renting, I always need a house with an elevator, and I've rented different houses for the last 10 years for this womens weekend. Unfortunatley, when we arrived at the house, we realized the elevator wasnt working, I did contact the owners (they did respond quickly) about it, they called for a tech but then told me it probably wouldnt be fixed during our stay (i guess in the contract it does state something about it not being guaranteed to be working) We stayed from Thursday to Monday, and it was fixed Sunday night, but we did have to rearrange rooms and have a couple poeple sleep on the living room sofas because they could not do more than one flight of stairs. Also, (and its my fault), didnt realize the check out was 9am, all the others I've rented were 10am, and that hour does make a difference ##### Laura H.

And I can be pretty picky. From the ease of booking to the communication with the owner throughout, I don't have a negative thing to say. The house is just like the pictures if not better. The location couldn't be any better. You aren't in the chaos of Rosemary Beach, but an easy one mile bike ride gets you to downtown Rosemary if you want to check it out. And the bikes are provided! Our group ranged in age from 2 to 63 and everyone had a great time. The kids enjoyed the pool at the house and being close to walk back and forth to the beach. It's literally a one minute walk to the beach and since the beach is private, you don't have to deal with the crowds. It's like being beachfront without the beachfront cost. Things we enjoyed about our stay: - Great house with lots of space - Private pool with nice furniture to hangout on - Private Beach without the crowds - Grill on the 2nd floor with a huge patio to eat or just relax on - 2nd refrigerator in the garage for drinks and other things along with separate ice maker which comes in handy - bikes provided along with other beach and pool items - Publix nearby (3 minutes) or drive a little further down into Panama City for a Target, Walmart, and other shopping If you haven't stayed in Inlet Beach, I'd recommend checking out The Donut Hole for breakfast or lunch. We also ordered pizza from Bubba's one night and had 30a Taco deliver food one night. Cafe Aroma is also a nice little coffee shop just a couple of minutes away. I'm an avid runner and had more than enough places to run including running through the state park nearby. Overall, I can't recommend this house enough. ##### tony w.

The house is perfectly laid out for renters. All the bedrooms are en suite and every floor has a breakfast bar with a mini fridge just in case you don’t want to walk down or take the elevator to the main floor. I have been been a vrbo renter for many years & this house really has everything you need. It is extremely well kept, clean & beautifully decorated. The location is perfect. The beach is literally steps away & Kyle sets up chairs every day which is very convenient. The pool, hot tub, & fire pit are lovely. The kitchen is probably the most well stocked of any rental I’ve ever stayed in and the extra fridges & ice makers are above & beyond. So thank you, Ron, for a wonderful family vacation & also for your great communication before, during, & after our stay. We hope to do it again! ##### kathy j.

I celebrated my 50th birthday here with my childhood friends. This is an incredible place and the hospitality of Ron and Kyle far exceed any 7 star properties I have ever stayed in. It is about Makin Memories. Thank you. ##### shyamal s. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrah L.

This is the first time we have wanted to stay in the same place again next year! Beautiful home. Quiet location. The host and/or his team thought of everything and were super responsive throughout the week as needed. Thanks Ron and Kyle for a great stay! Can’t wait to redo it next year! ##### Terrah L.
