KEY Curation Notes

Between Rosemary and Alys Beach. The condo sits a block from the shops and dining of Rosemary Beach, with Alys Beach a short walk to the west. Peddler's Pavilion out front rounds it out with a market, coffee, pizza, and a Mexican grill.

Steps from the sand. Beach access runs through the gated Sunset Beach community, a short walk away, with a complimentary tram running the route from March through October and wristbands waiting in the unit. Chair and umbrella service sits right on the sand through La Dolce Vida, best reserved online ahead of summer. Pack a carry-friendly bag and let the tram do the hauling.

Resort pools. Two community pools anchor the property, one of them seasonally heated, alongside a hot tub and a separate kiddie pool. The balcony looks out over the pool deck.

Sleeps six across three bedrooms. The king master has a private bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower, while a queen room and a twin room share the second bath, and a living room sleeper sofa adds two more. The building has an elevator, and the unit includes its own washer and dryer.

Full kitchen with a wine cooler. The kitchen pairs granite counters and stainless steel appliances with a breakfast bar and a built-in wine cooler in the bar area.

Pack a hotspot. Worth having along if streaming or remote work matters on your trip.
