Description Timber & Rosemary: Inlet Beach

South of 30A and a short stroll from the sugar-white Gulf shore, this house is built around a private courtyard with a pool, outdoor fireplace, and kitchen – the kind of setup that pulls everyone outside. French doors from the main living area open straight onto it, while timber beam ceilings draw light deep into the interior. A detached carriage house above the garage gives one group of guests their own retreat within the wider home. Bikes are included for exploring the neighbourhood, and Rosemary Beach Town Square – with its boutiques and cafes – is a five-minute walk.

Home truths:
* The carriage house sits above the garage, so guests staying there will be going up and down stairs each time they move between their space and the main home's living areas.
* Walton County rules prohibit leaving chairs, umbrellas, and personal items on the beach overnight – anything left unattended from one hour after dusk will be discarded.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
