Elevator. Very nice. Pool. More. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. Summer 2023 is long gone. How about Fall or Winter? And definitely not too early for 2024! Its filling up fast too: 5 weeks gone already! Check out the 3D tour too! All new art as of this year! The Emerald at the Cottages at Romar 23150 Perdido Beach #9 12BR 14BA Incredibly upscale beachfront home. Private & Community Pools. Elevator. Icemakers and fridges, all floors. Wow! These homes are always full. We own Sapphire, right next door, 12BR, same layout. More of...more! Get two. 24 bedrooms. Why not?! Diamond (10BR) too. Side x side x side! Both were fully booked last summer and all the major holidays. Act quick! Emerald is a 12 bedroom family-friendly luxury beach home located directly on the beach in an exclusive, gated community with zero-entry pools. Handicapped accessible features. Elevators. Community firepit. The perfect vacation home for large groups, or small ones that like lots of space! WIFI/Internet? You Bet! I recently installed a multinode Eero network. Mesh networking is the way to go for coverage in and around the house. Poolside to upper bedrooms, there's signal to be had! There are 3 beach side living rooms, one on each floor, in this home. Need a beverage? There are wet bars with mini-fridges and stand-alone ice-makers in the second and third floor living rooms so you can save yourself the trip down the stairs (or elevator!). Each floor also has its own washer and dryer because when you are on vacation why would you want to carry your clothes up and down the stairs (or in the elevator) more than you absolutely have to!? Sleeps 44 as follows: 2nd Flr NE BR: King 2nd Flr NW BR: King 3rd Flr Middle N BR: 2 Triple Bunks (Twin over Full) 3rd Flr Middle S BR: 2 Triple Bunks (Twin over Full) 3rd Flr NE BR: King 3rd Flr NW BR: King + Bunk Bed (Twin over Twin) 3rd Flr SW BR: King 4th Flr Middle N BR: Triple Bunks (Twin over Full) 4th Flr Middle S BR: Triple Bunks (Twin over Full) 4th Flr NE BR: King 4th Flr NW BR: King + Bunk Bed (Twin over Twin) 4th Flr SW BR: King In addition to the community pool, Emerald at the Cottages at Romar also has its own private, elevated dipping pool at living room level. Sit in your living room, watch your kids play in the pool outside, how cool is that!? Or enjoy that beverage overlooking the gulf! And if 12 bedrooms is just a little too big for you, check out Diamond, a 10 bedroom home right next door, or any of our other wonderful family-owned homes. Emerald and Sapphire are identical 12 BR units, so if you want to sleep up to 88, well, that’d do it! Or over 115 in all 3! Please note that the Cottages at Romar neighborhood association has determined that no weddings or special events may be hosted in the property. This is applicable to our Jewels by the Sea. However, although you cannot host weddings or special events at the Diamond, Emerald, or Sapphire, you certainly can stay there during your trip and enjoy these large homes, their luxury, and the terrific neighborhood amenities. You’ll love staying at the Emerald at the Cottages at Romar. You’ll wish you never had to go home. If you don’t book early, you’ll stop by wishing you could be here. We have a number of smaller places as well, and also bigger: like taking 2 sides of a very nice duplex to get 20 (twenty!) bedrooms. Ask. We'll help find the perfect place no matter what your vacation hopes, dreams, and desires may be! Since we have a higher proportion of guests recently who are new to vacation homes, I wanted to mention a few things that may be new to guests who normally stay in hotels or resorts rather than a private home so they are not surprised. As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, except where specifically noted, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well. That’s it! We think you’ll haver a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

We LOVED your house - it is so spacious, well maintained, beds are comfortable, showers are good, huge common space, nice dining area, big kitchen, 3 refrigerators / dishwashers etc. The location of the house is amazing, with a gated community access, private beach access and view of the sunrise / sunset / ocean from the house. We loved the pool area and plenty of seating. Overall it is PERFECT. Our whole gang (7 families - total 27) loved the house. Thank you for the great experience you are able to provide us through your wonderful beach house! ##### Narendra K.

Everyone had their own room/bath which was wonderful! 1/2 baths on every floor, too! The great room on the main floor was perfect for our meals that we cooked and loved the big, long table where everyone could enjoy their meals together. Location is spectacular! Looking out at the pool and beach was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you would need including plates and utensils. Anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway should book the Emerald! ##### Cindy M.

The home was so spacious and comfortable, we loved the pool overlooking the beach . We had 8 families with children and the room layout worked out perfectly! The kitchen and dining room set up as well as the outdoor seating was perfect for our group of 36! All of my group have posted many pictures on Facebook and I have been referring your home to all who ask! We would definitely return. The kids even enjoyed going over to the community pool for something different to do! ##### Leah S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary P. 2 Jan 2025 #### Wonderful Happy New Year Rick! Everything was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home. There were no issues and as before, we had more than enough room for our ladies. Thanks for allowing us to make your home our weekend getaway. Have a blessed New Year!\[Awesome! 🙏 Thanks so much Mary for taking a moment to reply. I appreciate the warm fuzzies at the end of the holiday season (and any other time of year of course!), and am so glad you all had a fabulous time again! 👍\] ##### Mary P.

We had a large group of 18, ages 2 to 66! This home fit us perfectly. We had bedrooms to spare! The private pool was a huge hit as well as the beautiful community pool directly across the street! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable beds!! Extremely good communication with the host. Always got right back with us if we had a question. Fantastic location close to everything you could possibly need! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! ##### Jenny W.

Loved being directly on the beach. Size. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Management co and pool service were A plus. Friendly, professional, timely. Pool and outside area were so nice and great for children and adults were happy in the shade. The multiple refrigerators were so nice to have because we were coming with contents from our emptied out freezers from home. It was so helpful to check in early and you added on another night and we are appreciative of that. ##### Sarah Y.

We had amazing weather and even spotted a few pods of dolphins through the week. I certainly was dreading going back to work today instead of waking up at the beach! Looking forward to next year already! Thank you! \[Yay! Thanks Dave! So happy to hear everything was perfect for you all again this year, and that you already locked in next summer! Don't hesitate to shoot us a note if you have ANY suggestions, or need anything whatsoever. Thanks again!\] ##### David F.

Nice location, easy access to groceries, restaurants, etc. Floors, especially carpets were not very clean, a number of ceiling lights were out. Ice machines were not working. Property management was quick to respond and resolve issues but kitchen towels we requested never came. ##### Rosaleah B.

It was perfect for my entire family as each family had their own floor. This came in handy with kids different ages and on different schedules. My older parents also appreciated the first floor master bedroom. The directions to the house and instructions were great and had everything we needed plus some! The kitchen and living room was a great size for family meals. We did have a heating issue on the first night/Christmas Eve, but maintance came and made the repair within hours. You have a beautiful property and can't wait to come back when I can enjoy some hot sun! ##### Tricia L. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda S. 9 Jan 2024 #### Absolutely amazing weekend I've finally settled down from an absolutely amazing weekend at your beautiful home, Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a group of ladies on a weekend getaway. My group really enjoyed it. Having that pool on the back, facing the beach was the best thing to me.😊 The only problem was the slide door..having to walk around the house to get to the pool...🙄 but someone was there bright and early the next day to repair it. Thanks for your support in getting that problem resolved quickly. We really appreciated it. ##### Brenda S.

Communication between the owners and Southern Beach Rental Agency was seamless. It was extremely hot the week we stayed. We did have issues with the ice makers not keeping up, but we have 40 people in and out. It took one simple text to SBR and they had someone over in an hour to take a look. We had family from out of the country with us and they ended up staying an extra day, which prompted us to want to say with them. I called the owners to see if we could extend the time and late check out. Lucky for us the rental was open and the owners helped us out so we were able to spend another day and a half with family. Great experience! Can't wait to plan another trip! ##### Stacie S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ---
