Wilder Dreams - Gulf Front, Pool, Gated Community, Steps to Rosemary Beach

Nestled within the aptly named Waters Edge community in Seacrest Beach, Wilder Dreams is a sprawling six-bedroom estate with space for everyone. Your group will love the proximity to the bright blue ocean waters and gentle sea breezes. Plus, the oceanfront swimming pool and fire pit are the ideal spots to relax with cocktails and conversation at the end of each day. You can use the six provided bicycles to peddle into Rosemary Beach or Alys Beach for an afternoon lunch or a leisurely dinner.

The main great room is located on the second level, allowing for gorgeous natural light and stunning panoramic views. The interior of the space has been thoughtfully drenched in soothing neutrals and creams, a color scheme that allows the breathtaking turquoise of the ocean to take center stage. Slipcovered sofas face an 85" FRAME TV, while glass doors lead outside onto the exquisite Gulf-front terrace.

An expansive formal dining table is illuminated by beaded chandeliers and leads directly into the gourmet-style kitchen. There’s a large island with plenty of extra seating, plus bright white cabinets surrounding the full suite of premier appliances, including a smooth top electric range, a double wall oven, and a massive refrigerator.

The first bedroom is located on this main level and includes a bedroom with a queen-sized bed. Also on the lower level, the second bedroom has a luxe king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom. Finishing out the first floor, the third and fourth bedrooms have built-in bunks that house a twin-over-queen-size bed and a trundle. The two bunk rooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom between them. You will find a fifth room on the second level holding a queen-sized bed.

Climb the stairs to the top floor, where the ultra-private and final primary bedroom suite awaits. With an upholstered king-size bed, HDTV, and a private balcony that overlooks the Gulf, this space is like a secluded sanctuary. This room also includes a sitting area, and the spa-inspired ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.

Although Wilder Dreams was designed for complete comfort in the interior, chances are you may want to spend the majority of your time outdoors. With a sparkling swimming pool and a cozy fire pit to gather around— plus a gas grill for preparing fresh seafood or burgers— the patio at Wilder Dreams is the place where everyone lingers while listening to the sound of the nearby waves against the shore.

Awesome spot
We celebrated our oldest son’s 30th birthday! Our family ranges from an infant, 18 year old and up to 30 year old. Everyone loved it. The house was fantastic and the views are amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, plenty of space for everyone. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in the perfect location, it was very clean and welcoming. The rooms were perfect sized for all of our needs. The pool on the other hand was dirty and in need of repairs, we had to call for light repair in pool. The vents on the floors need to be cleaned but other than that we would definitely come back.

It’s only been a few weeks and we’re headed back
The location of this house cannot be beat! You’re right in the middle of all the great places and can walk virtually everywhere. The views and sunsets from the porch are incredible. We had a few minor issues with the house but the management team was very responsive and quick to help us. I would recommend booking this home. It worked great for our group of 11 during spring break.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Wilder Dreams. The house was spotless, excellently furnished and provided a great view and easy access to the beach. The small pool was nice to relax in after a long day at the beach. House is within walking/biking distance to most of the restaurants/shops in Rosemary/Alys beach. After multiple family vacations/rentals in Rosemary, this is by far our favorite!

Disappointing for price
Location is perfect. Property needs love. Pool was dirty. The windows in the main room have moisture between the panes clouding the view greatly diminishing the vistas portrayed online. House smelt like mold for 24 hours and had to be aired out. Needs internal paint. For this price point, look elsewhere. Disappointing and reduced the enjoyment of a great spot.

Loved our stay!
The house has the most beautiful view! All new appliances, cold a/c, plenty of room. Beautifully furnished and clean. Perfect location. Walking distance to downtown (2 blocks). Little grocery store right across the street was very handy. The teens loved using the bikes to explore. The balcony is the I my one like it taking you out farther than the other houses. My only notes are about the mattresses. Others have mentioned that they need replacing and they are correct. Almost every one of them has deep divots which make sleeping much less comfortable. Also the bathtub downstairs doesn’t have a a bathtub spout. Just a shower head so you have to fill the bath using the shower head which takes FOREVER and makes a mess. Other than that the house was beautiful and we would definitely stay again! Property mama get met us at check in and explained a few things. Was very very accommodating and kind. Thank you!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. the house is in a very good location, however the fact that 8 of the 16 people are in a bunk room made it a bit difficult for our group. I would not book this house again for that reason. House had a roof leak the night before we moved in so had a bucket in living room during our stay. We also received notes on our cars for parking in parking spaces along side road in community.

The property was as advertised and the view was incredible. Water's Edge is a nice location, very close to Rosemary. The house was tidy and clean with the standard list of items needed for a rental, and nothing more. 30A Rentals was Fantastic, and literally saved the day multiple times. They are new to managing the house and we found LOADS of deferred maintenance items that they address quickly. We enjoyed our stay but for feedback purposes, here is what we noted. We would have liked more instructions on the Induction Stove. The front door Code box was irritating because you had to enter the code Every single time you entered (no way to leave the door unlocked). The AC units were VERY loud and ran continuously regardless of the temp settings (and yes, they were set to Auto). The pool was missing the cleaning net and no beach or pool toys were to be found. The 3rd floor AC unit leaked water through the ceiling in the kitchen. The roof/patio was leaking also (in a different location) in the living room and the "water" was brown and gross and sprayed around the room when the fan was on. The light/fan switches appeared to be installed upside down (to increase fan speed you hit the Down arrow!) as were many of the Shower and Sink handles, making hot and cold/ push and pull confusing. Overall, as mentioned, the management company was fantastic and the house has a great location. Thanks for having us!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hello my name is Greg Bechtel. We really enjoyed Rosemary over the 4th. My sister has a vacation home in Rosemary so all of our families enjoy the week. We really enjoyed the view and the upgrades. We were impressed with the staff that helped with a couple of issues. A couple of suggestions. We were told that the house would be available between 2-5pm but we could not get in until 6:30pm. Beds did not have sheets etc. Having our 2 small granddaughters made it very difficult on them. The shrubs off the deck absolutely blocked the beach view when sitting on the deck chairs. I noticed only 3 homes had that issue the others were trimmed back. Spending big money for that view I would have liked to enjoyed the beach from all points of view. The TV could not get local network channels which would have been nice. They looked at it but was not resolved. I killed ants in the master suite. I am not complaining at all, we had a great time and loved the property. I would be willing to rent this home every week of July 4th in the future if you would be receptive to favorable pricing for returning good customers. Thanks,,,,Greg Bechtel
