Starburst - One lot off beach, private beach for only 34 homes, private pool

Here are our current specials:
• One free beach setup (2 beach chairs, beach umbrella) for all reservations March through November.

Starburst Beach House is located in the private gated community of Waters Edge, which adjoins Rosemary Beach on the west side. Waters Edge has its own private beach and, with only 34 homes in the entire neighborhood, the people density on the beach is low. As a result, Waters Edge is very popular with vacationers seeking the "perfect place" along 30-A.

Starburst Beach House is only row off the beach, and is conveniently located right next to the path to the beach. You can step out of the house and onto the path, walk the length of one lot (about 100 feet) and you are at the steps down to the beach. There are only two homes in the entire community with shorter walks to the beach. So it's easy and convenient to go back and forth between the house and the beach.

This beautiful home has its own small private pool, which can be heated for a small fee.

With five large bedrooms (3 kings, a queen and a bunk room), four and one-half bathrooms and 10-foot ceilings, this beautiful beach home is perfect for 12 guests to sleep and unwind comfortably.

Here's the layout:

1st floor:
• Entry foyer
• King bedroom
• Queen bedroom
• Jack & Jill bathroom shared by the King and Queen bedrooms
• Bunk room (sleeps 4)
• Private bathroom for the bunk room

2nd floor:
• Main living area
• Kitchen
• Dining area
• Powder room (half bath)
• King primary suite with it's own large bathroom (including a large walk-in double shower)
• Gulf-side dining balcony
• Street-side balcony off king bedroom

3rd floor:
• King primary suite with it’s own large bathroom (including a walk-in shower and a separate large soaking tub
• Separate sitting room with wet bar and small refrigerator
• Gulf-side balcony

Electronics:
• Whole-house mesh WiFi system for fast, reliable internet and streaming
• Large flat screen TVs in the main living area and the four main bedrooms. Free YouTube TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video on Demand (pay content is available by reimbursing owner)
• Quality mini-audio system connected to TV in main living area (with bluetooth for playing your own music via your smart phone or tablet)

On the beach side of the house, you can enjoy the outdoors in the pool and sunbathing area, which is completely enclosed by a stucco privacy fence. The fenced-in area includes a large two-burner natural gas grill (no propane bottles to deal with) and a gate opening directly onto the path to the beach walkover.

Starburst sleeps 12 guests comfortably: three kings, a queen, and a bunk room with four full-length twin beds. Parking for three cars (one covered) on the parking pad at Starburst, with a 4th parking spot available on Geoff Wilder Lane close to the house.

Saturday to Saturday rentals only. Non-smoking. No pets.

Incredible stay at Starburst

Truly cannot say enough about how amazing our stay at Starburst was. The location is perfect. Steps to the most beautiful beach, and a short walk to restaurants, shops and the charming Rosemary Beach. The house itself is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is stocked with any kind of pan or utensil you may want. The pool was really handy on cooler windy days, definitely opt to pay the extra to have it heated if you’re not there during the warmer months!

Ideal location and perfect for large family

This rental was PERFECT in many ways! The location was ideal to the beach, resturants, and shops. The pool was great with small children who couldn't tolerate the beach all day, but still wanted to play in the water. The owner stocked the house very well. I was so impressed that I even left a view items to restock them! Communication and suggestions were excellent! A GEM of a place!!

Beautiful Rosemary Beach Home

This home is in the best location in the area. It is perfectly situated right next to all the restaurants and shops of Rosemary Beach and conveniently directly across the street from Peddlers Village. It is also right on the beach access path and just a few short steps to the sand and water. The house is spacious and well maintained. I loved the security of a gated entrance and enjoyed the lack of crowds on the private beach compared to the packed beach at Seacrest. We loved it and hope to come back soon!

The kitchen was well stocked with new appliances, and plenty of cooking utensils. The host was very nice and answered all our questions immediately. Rosemary Beach is such a cool area to visit.

Perfect Family Spring Break

We had a wonderful experience for our first trip to 30A. Starburst was the perfect house: great location, so close to the beach and easily accessible to shops and restaurants. I really appreciated the daily beach set up that came with the house. The beach is less crowded than other parts because it serves this cute, small neighborhood. House was well appointed with all the things we needed and easily slept 8 adults and 3 children. The grill worked perfectly and the small pool was a favorite with the kids. All in all a great trip and I hope we can return one day.

Family Vacation

Salt & Pepper is the only food product that was there when we checked in. I have never rented a vacation home that did not have a few spices at least. Start up products were at a bare minimum. Very nice property. They should charge a couple dollars more to upgrade basic supplies for families checking in.

Beautiful, conveniently located property

Our week at Starburst was wonderful. With 6 adults and 6 kids under 10, we walked into a very clean, well laid out, well labeled and well stocked home. The location was key as we didn't have to get in a car after arriving for days as we were able to walk to restaurants, stores, live music, etc. The security of the neighborhood and access to the beach were great. The communication with the owner was incredibly efficient leading up to the trip. While, we didn't need the owner during the trip, I'm confident that if we did, that communication would have been just as good. We are making plans to visit again.

Starburst worked out fabulously for my family of 8. The house was clean, well stocked and labeled with instructions where needed. We easily fit 3 cars in the drive. The layout of the house flows smoothly. The location was great - just a few steps to the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. It was easy to communicate with the owner. He gave delailed information and answered all my questions promptly. We hope to return to this lovely home in the future.

Amazing Home in a Perfect Spot!

We only have great things to say about Hunter's home, Starburst.The location can't be beat! It is steps away from the private beach, perfectly situated in a fantastic neighborhood right in the heart of Rosemary Beach. After spending the day on the beach, it was lovely to just shower and walk across the street to grab dinner or drinks. We've spent many a spring break along 30A and this home is, by far, one of our favorites!The home is beautiful and well-appointed. It's a small thing, but Starburst has hooks everywhere: by the door to the pool, in the bathrooms, by the front door, etc. Having a place to hang bath towels, beach towels, baseball hats, etc. is incredibly helpful.The TVs had Rokus with access to Netflix and YouTubeTV, so the boys were easily able to watch the NCAA tournament games.If you are looking for a place to stay in Rosemary Beach or along 30a, we highly recommend Starburst! We would happily stay there again!
