Festival

Great house! We were on SGI for the Chili Festival and the house offered plenty of room for everyone. We also enjoyed not having neighbors on top of us. It was a short walk to the Gulf and the bay. Everyone enjoyed sitting under the house in the mornings and afternoons.Great place for a group of friends to hangout for a long weekend!

Wonderful Family Vacation

We come to St George every year. This was our first stay at the Rosemary. We were thrilled to have a fenced in yard for our pups! They enjoyed having freedom to explore and we enjoyed being able to let them out without having to walk them each time. The house was clean and convenient. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will difinitely be back and hope to book the Rosemary again!

Nice stay!

Arrival was distressing...after 10 hours in the car we arrived to find the house had not been cleaned, there were no linens, etc. I contacted the property manager (Sam) who apologized and arrived within the hour to clean and sanitize and make beds, then returned the following day with extra linens and supplies. Location is great; loved the fenced yard for our dogs and the easy access to both beach and bay. Kitchen is well equipped. Mattresses are brand new! The ROKU TV didn't work because we couldn't get the WiFi to work, but we didn't report it (because frankly we didn't care.) Sam was informed by text as we checked out. In spite of the rocky start we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Good value.

Great place to stay at the beach

My family and I had a great time staying at Rosemary. The access to kayaks was a great addition. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all, and I loved that it was in the woods. It gives it a treehouse feel. Overall, we had a great time.
