Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Rosemary in the captain Jack cottage. The house was clean and had what we needed for our stay. However, I wasn’t a fan that the only way we could get into our house when left locked was through the back pool door. It would have made it so much more convenient having a key code on the front door as well, That was the door we primarily used. The pool alarm is a bit obnoxious, about gave my toddler a heart attack when we first got there and opened the back door without thinking of pushing the alarm button first when we arrived. I understand that it’s required but a different sound that wasn’t ear piercing would be nice. Finally , there should definitely be a ceiling fan in ALL rooms. It got pretty toasty at night in the bunk room where my daughter slept. Overall we enjoyed the house and the location was great and parking was easy with our truck.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your detailed feedback. I'm not sure if you noticed, but a gate on the side of the house leads to the boardwalk right next to the front door. We'll also be happy to discuss with the owner adding a door lock to that door. We have detailed instructions in our mobile hospitality app explaining how the pool alarm works and how to press the button before opening the door to keep the alarm from going off. Please know it is FL state law that those be in place, and they do need to be loud enough to be heard upstairs so that little ones can not access a pool without an adult being present. I love ceiling fans and understand it would be nice to have them in every room, but it is a significant hazard to have a ceiling fan in a bunkroom. The fan could be on at a high speed with a child sitting on the top bunk which would put their head way too close for comfort. Again, thank you so much for staying with us and your constructive feedback. -Chris

Nice Rosemary vacation home
We had a great stay at this property for a quick spring vacation. The house and pool are just the right size for a small family or 2 couples. Only suggestion for improvement is to have checkin be guaranteed at 4:00. It states 5:00 but is not guaranteed. That’s a little late when your coming in from out of town.

Perfect location and size
Captain Jack Cottage is a great location. Park your vehicle and walk/bike to everything you need. Even the beach is only an easy 5 minute stroll away. The room set up in this rental is great with the bedrooms on the lowest level, kitchen and living room on the second, and a crows nest that kids are sure to enjoy. Had all the basic things you'd expect a host to provide and instructions were clear and up-to-date. Super easy check out process as well, which we really appreciated (take out the trash and start the dishwasher). Having a pool was really important to us, and this cottage didn't disappoint. We were swimming in it everyday--great place to cool off and hang out with the family. Definitely would stay here again.

Amazing trip to Rosemary
We really enjoyed our trip to Rosemary and the house was the perfect size for 5 of us (3 kids). When we first arrived, there was a small issue with the pool cleanliness, but the 30A team was fantastic at resolving and our kids LOVED the pool. The house was stocked nicely, wish they would give 1 more garbage sack so dont forget to bring some. The house was clean and our kids really loved going to the 3rd story to look out. We highly recommend this house and would like to thank the staff of 30A for being responsive and kind with resolving our questions.

Soul del Sol Cottage
We have rented many different houses in Rosemary Beach. Soul del Sol is clean with fresh paint, etc. and the pool is great. The pool is not too small and we appreciated the pool alarm very much as we do have a young child. However, this house lives small for the price point as compared to other homes we've rented in Rosemary Beach. There is only one small common area with one sectional sofa and the porches are tiny. The hallways are narrow and the laundry area is very cramped. Also, the third floor loft is not air conditioned. During our visit in July, it was too hot to spend any time and especially for someone to sleep in the beds in that area. This was our first time to stay north of 30a and this house is in a great location, which was less populated and great for social distancing during COVID. It is only a 4-5 minute walk to the beach - totally doable and great while staying off the beaten path! As always, Rosemary Beach did not disappoint and we had a great time with our family of 5 in this house, but that is the max that could stay comfortably. However, we have stayed in much larger, less expensive houses south of 30a, so were a little surprised that Soul del Sol did not live larger. Bottom line = great house, but we have experienced better values in Rosemary Beach.

Overall, a great property in an excellent location. <br/>However, we travel from the UK every year to various locations in the US and this is the only property we have rented that doesn't have an information sheet for guests with basics details of locks, tv operation, water (heat slow) etc etc. It was also the 'saddest welcome' pack we've ever been provided... we have found all previous rentals to be fully stocked with cleaning products (including dishwasher tablets) , tea , coffee, extra toilet paper, salt/pepper etc as the bare minimum. <br/>We also found the floors and showers were not particularly clean on check-in which was disappointing. Lots of dark hair in the master shower. <br/>Maybe you would consider a lower cleaning fee for guests who are only staying a couple of days. We found the charge to be unreasonable for a 3 night stay, given that we cleaned the floors and showers on arrival and that a 2-3 (max) hours clean is all that would be required on our departure? Again the usual fee we have paid for a 3 night stay is at most $125<br/>I would like to say again that the property was lovely. But the above points plus the $ 45 of phone calls we had to make on the day of arrival tinged our overall image. (Also if you are nearly 25 mins late when arriving to let in guests, an apology would be suitable)
