With nine bedrooms to choose from , we certainly couldn ’ t have stayed in them all , but this home is the perfect place for a large or multi-generational family vacation . In addition to being a family-friendly property , this home ’ s central location puts you close to the many public beach access points and near all of the great amenities in Destin — including a variety of shops , restaurants , grocery stores , and lots of entertainment options . There is so much to do and see for families staying in the Destin area . Be sure to check out Beach Walk Café ( located inside the Henderson Inn ) for a great oceanside meal .
ROSEMARY Rosemary Beach is one of the most iconic towns in all of 30A . The cobblestone streets and stunning architecture make this idyllic beach town one of the most memorable coastal retreats in Florida . Rosemary features an abundance of locally-owned small businesses , so there ’ s something for couples and families alike to enjoy . Growing in popularity is the fantastic Rosemary Beach Farmer ’ s Market , which is held in the Rosemary Beach Town Center every Sunday and Thursday from 9 a . m . to 2 p . m ., and features the most delicious foods grown locally and throughout the South , as well as international foods from around the world .
While in Rosemary Beach , our family stayed at 216 Round Road , which is aptly named “ Serenity Now ” and lives up to all expectations its name implies . This home ’ s outdoor space transports you to the Mediterranean with its terra cotta roof , covered patio breezeway , and dark wood design elements that pop against the home ’ s white exteriors . A large private pool and spacious carriage house make this property a perfect place for big families , and Rosemary ’ s community pools and pocket parks provide outdoor entertainment for all ages . One of the best parts about staying in Rosemary Beach is that you get the convenience of nearby Panama City Beach and the luxury and exclusivity of a small beach community .
The team at 360 Blue booked a round of golf at Camp Creek Golf Course for our golf-loving guys , which was easily one of their favorite parts of the trip . While they played , my mom and I enjoyed a private , in-home yoga session with a wonderful instructor from Yoga Haus . We loved this experience and highly recommend it for yogis and beginners alike . What a refreshing way to start a wonderful day on vacation !
There is no shortage of incredible restaurants in Rosemary . Although we did a lot of cooking on our trip , we loved having tapas at La Crema and lunch at George ’ s in Alys Beach — two places you must try while you ’ re in town !
