"Did not meet expectations
We have rented in Rosemary Beach 3 previous times from you and all have been wonderful stays and each house was adequately maintained and well equipped to serve rental customers. Bella Cottage was not ready for prime time and we were shocked that your company would rent a house in need of significant items in order to be usable.
Upon arrival we noted that the house had no broiler pans, had 1 pot, had 2 pans, had about 10 tops for pots and pans, had silverware and dishes for about 5 people, had 2 placemats , had window shades that did not work, had ants, had mold on entry stairs, had a shower that was stoped up in master, had a table in living room that needed repair and the house seemed to lack the general upkeep that we had evidenced in our prior rentals from you.
Eventually almost everything was corrected but not before continual prompting from us. Someone needs to pay more attention to detail so that guests can enjoy their vacation or you should remove this house from the rental pool and remove the property manager.

Nice home, clean comfortable. Great location convenient to the beech and to other restaurants. Nice small pool. Big community pool is just across the street which is convenient. Definitely recommend. "

"Checked all the boxes
This was the perfect location for our girls trip. So comfortable, beautiful, and the location is impossible to beat. We had our entry code promptly even before our scheduled check-in time which was an added bonus! I was able to communicate with management via text and got immediate responses. It was a breeze. Highly recommend! Only wish we could have stayed longer. Great property."

"Bella Cottage Review
Overall, the property was okay to fine. The house definitely needs some tending to. Walls beat up, couch and living room rug seemed very used, decorations/art not great. The general interior furniture and items in the house are not what we usually see and expect in Rosemary especially for this price point (we have rented houses for the last 10 years). No Tupperware for fridge storage. Blender had a strange plug that could not be utilized. When we arrived we found the garage door broke which we were not advised about in advance. I own a rental home in Park City which is why I am providing this feedback as I would want to know as the owner. Also, the minimal kitchen paper towels and toilet paper were annoying as there should be enough basic supplies provided for the # of people and length of stay. would only recommend to a friend with these caveats at this price point.

"Fantastic Stay!
We had an awesome time at the Bella Cottage. Clean, updated, and great location. Also, any questions I had were answered quickly. Can't wait to go back next year and hope to rent the Bella Cottage again."

"Great stay
We can’t say enough wonderful things about the house! Great location, loved all the balconies. We had a wonderful stay. My only complaint is that the kids room doesn’t have any blinds so they were up literally as the sun was coming up ��. The only other thing is I wish we could control the temperature in the spa. It’s connected to the pool and so by the time we got in it the entire pool was way too hot to swim. If we could have turned it down or off until we got in it it would have been perfect. Sadly we couldn’t even use it!
That being said, we already booked our stay for next year! Just two notes I wanted to give! "

"Great vacation at Bella Cottage
We have been coming to Rosemary Beach for 15 years. All of our rentals have been terrific-but I must say that Bella Cottage was the cleanest we have ever stayed in! Location is great. Close to the beach and parking near the cottage was very easy. The pool and hot tub was extra fun as an extra place to have cocktails in the evening. We had one tiny sink drain snafu and maintenance was there in 45 minutes to fix.
This was a great stay!!!"

"Great House, Perfect Location
We've been coming to Rosemary for 10 years now and have stayed in numerous places. Location is high on my list when choosing a short term rental. The southwest section of Rosemary is my favorite spot. Bella Cottage was perfect for what we needed. The kids had the upstairs bunk room and the adults has the downstairs bedrooms. Great house, great location and did a great job. If Bella Cottage is available the week you need it and the size is right (3 bedrooms and a large bunk room) book it. You'll be happy. "

"This home did not disappoint in the slightest
We can't thank enough for making our vacation an amazing one. This was the perfect home for our family and we can't wait to stay here again next year."

" was Disappointing
Property description was accurate
Property was clean and well-maintained
The property manager cancelled my reservation after it was confirmed and offered me another property which cost me $900 more. He also offered me free use of the property’s carriage house which he said would be complete when we arrived, even suggesting we invite our parents to stay there. Fortunately, we did not invite anyone because the carriage house was not ready for occupancy during our stay. While the accommodations were very nice, I would never use or recommend again because they were not reliable and did not take ownership for their mistakes. "

"Perfect location and beautiful house
The location of this home is perfect, a few minutes walk to the beach and steps from the shops at Seacrest Beach and ‘downtown’ Rosemary. Our favorite part of the beach has always been Walkover I because it is less crowded. The balconies and pool are great, one of the only heated pools we’ve had in Rosemary that we didn’t have to have someone come out to turn on. The kids floor’ on the 3rd floor is perfect with 4 beds, 2 trundles, and a tv room and bathroom. It is a bit noisy at night on the street right outside of the master bedroom and this is a fairly expensive property to not have a dedicated parking spot, but hoping this is resolved when the garage construction is completed. Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back! "

"Brandtbunch Bella cottage stay
The Bella cottage is a beautiful home with more than enough space for our three families. We really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach & pool. It was clean, comfortable and very well placed. I have to say that the west side is a lot nosier than the East side where we usually stay. The neighbors courtyard gives to a few bedroom windows and they stayed up past 3am and were very loud. Kept my daughter up every night but that’s an issue regarding simple manners and not a reflection of this home. Was nice having our own pool. We used it every day. We Did have an issue with Construction in the charriage house and a port o potty right outside the pool in our view but there was nothing they could do about it. That was unfortunate, really. 30A always works hard to accommodate any need we have and it was out of their hands. We made the best of our pool time but it’s not something that should be there when a home is being rented. Again, they did a beautiful job accommodating us throughout the week. Great stay! Great cottage! Would definitely recommend if you want to be near the beach & pool. Had everything we needed & some! "

"Fantastic house and service
The combination of a beautiful home, awesome location and fantastic customer service made our vacation truly great. The house's location was so convenient for our families with young children as it's steps away from the beautiful Barbados pool and truly a minute walk to the beach (and only a few minute walk to the main street). The backyard pool and spa were a Godsend as well, especially when the pools became crowded. And, adjusted the spa and pool temps upon request which was great. I can't say enough good things about the quick, friendly service that 30A Luxury Vacation Agency provided. They responded to each of our questions promptly and went above and beyond even after we left (and left something behind) during an incredibly busy time. This vacation was just what we needed after quarantine.
Thank you and homeowners! "

"Great rental, great location
Bella Cottage is the perfect rental in Rosemary Beach, Florida. I rented this house for the weekend of a wedding for several people. Three bedrooms are on the first floor. The second floor, kitchen and living room, is very spacious, open, and airy. I wish the weather had been warmer for us to enjoy the many decks though. The location is very close to the beach, and all shops and restaurants of RB. That's a tremendous advantage, since my greatest criticism would be the shortage of parking overall in RB. When we lacked enough parking passes for our family, I called the rental agency, and they quickly had an extra delivered to us! Park you car and walk everywhere! If you move it, you might not find another! The house was clean and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again."

"Very nice
Nice place. They charged extra to heat the pool.
We would rent this place again. "

"Lovely Rental
We have stayed in Rosemary Beach close to 20 different times, and we love to get a different house each time (to try out all the different areas). We selected this one because it is close to everything and was recently remodeled. It was lovely! There was plenty of space for us to entertain our entire group for Thanksgiving, and the kids LOVED the upstairs bunkroom! The only downside was that the pool was unable to be heated during our stay because of an issue with the heater, but was so nice and helpful about it and allowed us to check out late on our departure day, which was amazing. We will definitely rent this house again!!!"

"Gorgeous Remodeled home!
We were so happy to be one of the first people to stay here after the remodel and absolutely loved this house. The design firm did an amazing job and the management company was a delight to work with. My husband loved the Audio Video set up and of course he now wants it at our house too! The owner of the management company, Chris, was kind enough to send him a list and links to all the equipment so he can go get it all! Thank you for a great experience!!"

"Excellent, Large House Close to Beach, Town, and Pool
We've stayed here twice now. It is a very large house and close to pool, beach, and town. We were very comfortable with 4 adults and 3 kids. The back porch is a perfect place throw beach stuff before going into the house. Also, 30A Vacations has been very helpful with the booking, etc. "

"An up and down experience.
First off the Bella Cottage was a very nice rental property, clean, great location, great amenities, and the particular contact person at their office was as helpful as she was able to be, albeit she was unfortunately handcuffed by management to handle problems. However our property did not have all that was advertised. Bella Cottage has been going through an update/remodel that was supposed to be completed in late spring, by our arrival in September, it was still incomplete. While the house was beautifully completed, the private pool was not. As we were a family with kids this was one of the reasons we chose this property. On arrival we were told there would be no price reduction, offer of another rental property, or any other perks to make up for not getting what we paid for. The lack of customer service to rectify this failure was in my view a dismal failure by management and should have been taken care of."

"Great home location, very bright!
I spent about 9 nights at Villa Rose and loved every minute of it. Just my husband and I, so only used the master bedroom, which had a very comfortably bed which for me was a must. Very nice living area layout on the second floor, open modern kitchen, high end appliances, windows and glass everywhere to let in the light. Great location within one block of ocean and two blocks from Mainstreet where all restaurants and shops are. We had some internet issues which were addressed immediately. Chris at 30A addressed every single one of our needs and went above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely rent from 30A again. My only suggestion is to update the furniture in living area, I believe it needs some TLC."

"Bella Cottage - Spacious Cottage in Rosemary Beach
Our stay at the Bella Cottage was great! Fantastic location and check-in/check-out was the smoothest we have ever experienced.
We only had a few concerns: the sofa and rug need to be replaced (very dirty; when our little ones woke up early and began running around, it woke the entire household up. Bedrooms are downstairs and all the running right above could be heard easily; the porch needs a ceiling fan so you can sit outside and visit (too hot with no fan).
We loved the close proximity to the Barbados pool and to the beach. We loved to just walk around the corner where we visited Pescado (ocean view restaurant/bar). A plus - 4 bikes that we rode every day!"

"Charles Sarre
Overall it is a great house and we enjoyed our stay
However, the entrance feels unkept looks dirty.
the house feels dated.
Due to the very high ceiling, the stairs become a true workout for older guests.
Utensils ie.forks and knives need to be replaced only enough for 4."

"Horrible Experience with Rental Company
Having rented for many years in Rosemary Beach, I have never had a worse experience with a rental company. I would not recommend renting any of the properties associated with this company. "

"Great Time in Rosemary Beach
My wife, four adult children, two young grandchildren ad I spent the 3rd week in August, in Rosemary Beach. This was our second trip to Rosemary Beach and our first at Bella Cottage.
This was also the first time we spent time there in August. We've typically gone to the Florida Panhandle in July and really enjoyed the lighter August crowds - houses seemed to be about 50% occupied, so plenty of room on the beach and no waits at the restaurants, which we loved. Weather this week was also incredible, but we were told by several locals that it was more like September/October weather and August is typically very hot.
Bella Cottage's location is fantastic! It's literally 2 minutes to the beach, which made it fantastic for us, given the little ones.
Bella Cottage is a beautiful property, with a unique layout and the pictures represent it accurately. The condition of the property, though, leaves a bit to be desired. The cushion covers on the couch are well worn and have some stains. The outdoor furniture on the main porch, is even more worn and the cushion covers need to be replaced. We found fresh stains on the comforter in one of the bedrooms and decided to take the comforter cover off and wash it. The microwave didn't work, on arrival and we found it needed to be plugged into a different outlet. None of this bothered us much, as we got a very good deal on the place, given the time of year and the fact construction is still going on in the carriage house behind it. Had we had to pay full price for the property, I would've expected everything to be in tip-top condition.
The property management company was very professional and extremely responsive! Nothing but great things to say about the job they did.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Rosemary Beach and at the Bella Cottage. "

"LOCATION
Bella Cottage was everything we expected and more. The second floor (main living areas) were much larger than the pictures portray. We enjoyed the easy bike ride/walk to the beach and the pool steps away from the front door. This is the perfect location with walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach."

"Better than we Imagined!
Bella Cottage was all things perfection! It was beautifully decorated, lovingly maintained, and perfectly located. It was a wonderful home away from home for our family! We hope to stay on this property again. "

"Great location!
My husband, myself and 3 boys (ages 11,8,4), along with my sister, her husband and 2 daughters (ages 3yrs, 1yr) stayed the week of July 28 and had a wonderful vacation. This home sits in a prime location, situated directly across from one of the pools, 3-4min walk to the beach (south of 30a), right off Rosemary square and on the boarder of Rosemary/seacrest restaurants and shopping! -The home is beautiful decorated, full of fresh linens, kitchen fully stocked with pans, tools, and grille. The 3rd floor was perfect for our 3 boys and my niece (3yrs). It was nice to have a full bath and a small tv room with a door up there so they all essentially had everything theyd need.
The first floor has 3 bedroom, each with their own bathroom. All were beautiful and comfortable.
**Having stayed in many different homes in Rosemary, the following aren’t as much complaints as they are ‘NEED TO KNOWS’.
-the main living/eating is on the 2nd floor so if you are sleeping in or have a baby sleeping on the first floor, you DO HEAR walking very easily in the second floor.
-the 3rd floor is not completely doored off. Meaning the stairway corridor is open on both sides to the second floor. Anyone sleeping up there will both hear people on the second floor as well as light coming in. It gets bright as the sun comes up.
-there are NO baby gates/sleeping. You can call the rental company and rent gates for an additional charge.
-no leftover goods from previous renters. EX: cooking spices, etc. (every other home we’ve stayed in, those items were left for the next renter as they were nearly full and only used 1 or 2 times. We bought spices, boogie boards, shovels, etc (didn’t pack to take home) and knew they wouldn’t be left for the next family. :(
-4 bikes to use (1 is broken) No shovels, wagons,toys left from previous renters.
*construction currently, but we knew upon booking. However this created issues with trash "

"Bella july
Great week in Bella Cottage. Location is perfect. Cottage needs a few more pots/pans in the kitchen and the locks on the downstairs queen bedroom and bath did not work. Otherwise, it was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 tweens/teens!"

"Bella Cottage
My husband, our adult children and I returned from our stay at Bella Cottage a couple of days ago and it was a wonderful experience. The location was just a short walk from the beach and all of Rosemary’s shops and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, open, light-filled living area and kitchen as well as the spacious porches. The rental staff proved to be very accommodating, and I would definitely recommend this lovely vacation rental. "

"Family time
Rosemary Beach is lovely and very convenient. We had a relaxing week, but we were there to visit with my sister who staying in a separate cottage. A guest carriage house and pool were being built in the back of our cottage. The workers were very polite. I did send a long email to the management company because their were a number of maintenance issues that had not been addressed for early in the season and I did not want to be held responsible for those (example broken window with cardboard inserted. I was impressed with the supplies left (dishwashers soap, etc.) It would have been nice to have a map and directory of things available in the area--just a thought--a restaurant guide with coupons might be nice also. It was our first time there."
