DISCLAIMER: Due to the COVID-19 health & safety concerns, the Rosemary private beach area and town pools may have additional precautions emplaced that we are not responsible for, but must abide by. Also, if there are travel restrictions in place that affect you or our property, we will work with you to reschedule your vacation. Also, additional time for the additional required cleaning measures have been implemented so check-in time is 4pm (Central time) until further notice.

PARKING ETIQUITTE

Once you arrive at Rosemary Beach, you may notice that all the garages and parking areas are generally at the rear of most homes. This is part of the town design in that your vehicles are usually only used on arrival and departure and the remainder of your vacation is by foot/bike/etc. Freedom At The Beach parking is available in the garage and shared between the carriage house and main house. The guest in carriage house can have one space in the garage and the main house guest gets one space. Note, due to the Carriage House guests residing above the garage space, it is necessary for Main House guests to respect quiet hours between 10pm and 7am and avoid raising/lowering the garage doors. Also, note, that the carriage house laundry (washer/dryer) combo is in the left side of the garage so be courteous to allow access to this area at all times. Normally, the carriage house guests will have preference to parking on the left side of the garage with the washer/dryer access so they control access to the appliances. This configuration has successfully worked for over 10 years of separate rentals.

If you need additional parking or require activity outside of those recommended quiet hours, then there is parking along the street on Round Rd and Windward Ln by the playground which is just to the south. There are signs noted where you can and can’t park. This is all common Rosemary Beach property and is not reserved for any particular guest. You will see many guests parking on the street in many locations in Rosemary Beach because of the design of the town, very little private parking, and large groups coming with many cars to stay in one vacation home. Security will not ask you to move your car if it is on the street unless you are parking in an area that says no parking, you are blocking a driveway, path, or obstructing traffic flow. Rosemary Beach security says there must be room for an ambulance or fire truck to get by cars parked on the street. Security asks that cars only park on one side of the street. If cars start to park on both sides of the street, they will ask for cars to be moved to just one side of the street. To avoid security asking you to move your car, keep your car wheels on the street and off of the pinestraw/landscape along the street. Parking spaces are also marked by white lines on the streets in many locations. There is a large parking area in a lot just north of Hwy 30A near the tennis courts which is about a 200 yard walk from the Freedom at the Beach houses. Rosemary Beach Security will monitor street parking.

SECURITY

Rosemary Beach Security: 850-699-3469. Security monitors Rosemary Beach every hour, 24 hrs a day on a golf cart. They carry a cell phone and can be reached at any time. If they are not on the golf cart, they are in the guard shack near the center of the town.

Please call security if you have any concerns or problems with parking, neighbors causing disturbances, lost/stolen items, damage to personal property, and/or any concerns you may have that should be addressed by security.

If you are parked in an area that is not acceptable, security will place a warning sticker on your windshield and tell you to move your car. They can also ask others to move their cars if they are blocking your car or you feel there is a problem or potential problem.

ROSEMARY BEACH/POOL ACCESS

There are 4 community pools. You must have an amenity pass (provided and included in your stay) to use the pools (all provided with our rental) and to go through the beach access gate (combo provided with key lockbox combos a couple days before check-in). Rosemary Beach proper is a private beach exclusively for Rosemary Beach homeowners, guests of owners, and guest renters and as such town security often checks/requests to see the pass cards to verify authorized access and will tell persons without the passes to retrieve them.

Please don’t lose the amenity passes as they will cost you $40 each to replace. Rosemary Beach has trouble with non-Rosemary personnel trying to use the pools, so they may ask to see your amenity pass. You have access to all 4 of pools.

The Coquina Pool is the closest pool to the Freedom at the Beach, about 50 yds or less than a 30-second walk just to the West. However, don’t forget the Sky pool which has a retractable roof and heated in the winter. The Sky pool is on the northeast side, just north of the tennis courts. A map of Rosemary Beach is below.

TENNIS & FITNESS CENTER
