Firelight & Sea Breeze

Designed by an acclaimed interior designer, this Rosemary Beach house pairs exposed beam ceilings with a relaxed coastal ease that makes it easy to settle in. A courtyard terrace shaded by trees gives you somewhere quiet to land, while four community pools, a fitness centre, and a racquet club are all included with your stay. Bikes come with the house – handy for the Timpoochee Trail and Rosemary Beach's charming streets. The powder-white Gulf beaches and boutique shops and restaurants are a short walk away.

Home truths:
* There is one parking space here, so if you're arriving in two vehicles you'll need to make alternative arrangements nearby.
* Your courtyard and outdoor space may be shared with guests from a separate rental or an owner-occupying carriage house next door – worth bearing in mind if privacy outside is important to you.
* The home doesn't come with beach or pool towels, so pack your own – bath towels and linens are not permitted to leave the home.
* The beach here has strict leave-no-trace rules – items left unattended from one hour after dusk will be discarded. Pack light each evening and plan to clear your spot before dark.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
