The beach was beautiful, the kids enjoyed the pool, the house was huge and the weather was wonderful! There seems to be confusion about the beach access but we used the one right across 30A and it was marked for 4 communities including the subdivision this house is in. We loved the uncrowded beach. Rosemary is only 2 miles away, and the places we visited like the Hub, the outlets in Sandestin, and CVS are all very convenient. The house is located close to one of the roads connecting 30A to 98, which saves a lot of time getting in and out of the area. In the time of Covid when we spend more time in than out, we appreciated the house's layout, allowing everyone to have a lot of space and privacy. We mostly ate in and the pantry and second fridge were a big help - we stopped by Costco on the way down and had no trouble fitting everything in, and still had room for a Publix run and everyone's sodas, Gatorades and waters, etc. Another word about Covid and if you plan to work or go to school from the beach, the Wifi did drop a few times, so if you have critical Zoom meetings, please be aware of that. Those of us who needed less bandwidth, it was no problem and we switched to our own mobile hot spots if necessary. No fault to the house, we just have higher demands on connectivity these day. Also I haven't seen other reviews mention this - the door to go out to the pool - you have to push a button or else an alarm rings, and you only get a couple of seconds to push the button. Of course it's a safety feature for the pool but we didn't realize this at first and it freaked out the first group that arrived. Overall it was the best house we've stayed in on 30A. Royal Destinations was easy to work with. During our stay we submitted a few questions through the app that were promptly answered. I called after booking and on check out day - talked to a live person both times. He was courteous and knowledgeable.
