Whenever we rent a property with lots of pictures and descriptions, I tell my wife and family that the photos generally make the property look larger and more glamorous. I can honestly say that the descriptions of the Amsler Cottage on the VRBO site did not do it justice. Our family of 5 (plus as additional friend for fun for a total of 6) spent 7 nights in Rosemary Beach at the cottage. The location was amazing as it was a short walk to the beach in entrance F which is in the center of the Rosemary beach entrances and not crazy busy as some of the other entrances tend to be. In addition to this, the cottage is also a quick 2 block walk to the square enabling our 11,13 and 15 year olds felt empowered (and safe) to walk to the "Sugar Shack" for nightly Ice Cream and treats by themselves. As for the property itself, the bedrooms were very large with separate bathrooms for each room plus an additional full bath on the first floor. We leveraged both the second floor balconies/porches which were comfortable and provided space when we needed some family separation. The porch off the master bedroom even provides a nice view of the ocean which made a nice morning tea/coffee spot for my wife and I. We used the outside grill two times with fresh seafood from the "Ice Market" and used both indoor and outdoor tables. We used the 4 provided bikes for trips to Alys, Seacrest and Inlet Beach for dinning and we jogged every day along the 30A sidewalks. Our family watched every sunset from the beach (mom and dad with a cocktail in one of the many plastic glasses) as it was only a 2 minute walk from Amsler Cottage.

Lastly, with the ever changing scenarios with the COVID 19 virus developing on our trip (this was before the Florida coasts were evacuated), Susan did an amazing job of checking in and keeping us aware of the developments both at Rosemary and Walton County. One more note, if you have never stayed at Rosemary Beach, it is a very large area that expands on both sides of 30A. While the quality of homes and amenities are plentiful wherever you stay (pools etc) , there is not doubt you have to plan ahead to have ample beach time the farther away from 30A you are. The Amsler Cottage is perfect for families that want to maximize beach time while on 30A while also enjoying the variety of restaurants and nightlife available to all who travel to Rosemary. We will definitely stay again in the future and grateful for the family time we had.

My family and I have been traveling twice yearly to 30-a since 2010. By far, this house was our favorite location and hostess. The property is convenient to all that Rosemary has to offer combined with modern conveniences. The house is immaculate and well appointed, walkable to all that Romsemary has to offer. The owner is kind, welcoming and responsive. We stayed at the property for a week and left an jpad behind by accident. Owner went out of her way to return iPad to us. We will return again and again. If you are looking for a place to stay on 30-A look no further. Amsler cottage is your one-stop shop. A serene escape jn a chaotic world.

Great location for families.

Everything about this home and vacation was perfect. Location, location, location. Beach and town both a minute or two walk away. The house is full of all the creature comforts you’ll need. It’s so easy to relax here and I can’t say enough good things about it. Susan is an excellent host... very responsive and nice. Highly, highly recommend her home.
