Rosemary Beach Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Rosemary Beach
is one of the newest towns in the region known as “The Beaches of South Walton” in northwest Florida’s panhandle. Established in 1995, it is set high upon the dunes overlooking the silky white sands and calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Rosemary Beach captures your attention and your imagination with its unique architecture that is inspired by the small, waterfront towns of the Caribbean. Buildings have deep eaves, shuttered sleeping porches, open balconies and high ceilings that allow sea breezes to circulate. You will feel as if you’ve escaped to a far away tropical island. Recreation includes beach activities, hiking and biking trails, golf and tennis and fishing. Rosemary Beach has sugar soft sand and dunes lined with native flora that invites you to unwind and renew your spirit. The beautiful and lively town center of Rosemary Beach has a variety of shops and boutiques. Many more antique shops, gift shops and art galleries dot the landscape in the beachside communities of South Walton. Dining is in outdoor cafes, neighborhood bistros and fine restaurants with Gulf of Mexico views.
The Northwest Florida Panhandle , in the region known as the "Emerald Coast," enjoys warm temperatures year round. The state of Florida, as a whole, is among the wettest states in the U.S., receiving at least 50 inches of rain annually, and the Panhandle region has the most rain of anyplace in the state. However, many of these showers and thunderstorms pass quickly and the sunshine prevails. Tropical winds from the south, along with the Gulf and abundant rain, create hot, humid conditions May through September. The rest of the year is much more comfortable, with mild days and cool nights, less humidity and less rain. Hurricane season officially lasts August through October, but most of these storms blow into the Atlantic and miss Florida entirely. In the case when one does reach shore, ample warning time is generally given for these storms.
