Living in Rosemary Beach
Rosemary Beach was planned in 1995 by the same town-planning firm that planned Seaside, and it's built so you can walk everywhere. Main Street, the two Barrett Squares and Town Hall Road are lined with restaurants and shops, and the Pearl Hotel sits right in town.
The architecture is the draw. A strict town code sets the building types, with St. Augustine, West Indies, New Orleans and Charleston influences, earthy colors, and garages tucked on rear alleys. The streets are private, and the result is a town that looks and feels put together.
Owners and their guests get four pools, including a heated one with a roof that opens, eight tennis courts, a fitness center, pocket parks and a chapel, plus a private beach through code-locked dune walkovers. Rentals are common, mostly through the in-town rental programs.
It's a walk-and-bike town. Golf carts and LSVs have been banned inside since 2014. The big Fourth of July, with its bike parade and fireworks, and the fall Uncorked food-and-wine day are local favorites.
What you can buy in Rosemary Beach
There are four kinds of homes here. This is what was listed in November 2026:
- Houses: 3 to 6 bedrooms, built from 1998 to 2015, many with a carriage house in back. About $3 million to $8 million.
- Flats and lofts in Town Center: 1 to 3 bedrooms above the shops on Main Street and the Barrett Squares. About $1.25 million to $2.7 million.
- Townhomes: fewer of these. One was listed, at about $3.4 million.
- Private Residence Club shares: a deeded 1/6 share of a 2-bedroom residence. About $145,000 to $160,000.
The homes for sale above always show what's on the market today.
South of 30A or north of 30A
In Rosemary, the closer you get to the water, the more you'll spend, but it depends. Rosemary has some higher-priced houses on the north side too.
Here's what the MLS shows for sales from October 2023 through September 2026:
- Houses south of 30A: 24 sold, at a median of about $5.1 million, or $1,535 a square foot. The top sales were near the Gulf, up to $17.5 million.
- Houses north of 30A: 42 sold, at a median of about $3.4 million, or $1,295 a square foot. The biggest homes up there, over 5,000 square feet on Kingston Road and Water Street, sold for about $6 million to $6.5 million.
- Flats and lofts: a median of about $1.8 million north of 30A (32 sales) and about $2.7 million south of it (8 sales).
The beach, Town Hall and the Barbados and Coquina pools are on the south side. The north side was planned in 1997, with long green parks running the length of town and the Owners Center anchoring that end.
What it costs to own
- Association dues: houses in the MLS show $1,592 a quarter. Flats and lofts show more, about $3,100 to $7,500 a quarter, since they have a condo association too.
- Capital contribution: the buyer pays the association 0.5% of the sale price at closing. It's in Rosemary's recorded covenants, it's separate from the dues and it isn't refunded.
- Property taxes: South Walton's rate on recent tax bills is 8.6271 mills, about $8,600 a year for every $1 million of taxable value.
- Registering a rental: Walton County charges $300 a year to register a short-term rental.
- Cleaning: one of my clients who owns here was charged about $720 by the in-town service to clean his home. An outside cleaner could do it for about $350. That was an eye opener for him, so get a couple of quotes.
Carriage houses
Carriage houses are a big part of Rosemary. The very first building in town was one. The town was planned around back alleys, with the garage and a carriage house in back, so the front door can face a boardwalk, a path or a park.
Owners use them for guests, family or rental. I've shown homes where second-home owners rent the carriage house long term to someone who lives here year-round.
Renting one on its own has its own rules from the county and the association, so check them for the home you're buying before you count on that income.
The Private Residence Club
The Private Residence Club is a way to own part of a home in Rosemary instead of a whole one. There are 16 residences, each with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Each owner holds a deeded 1/6 share of one residence, which can be sold, mortgaged, left in a will or put in a trust.
Owners get 7 weeks a year: one in winter and two each in spring, summer and fall, with more when there's room. Housekeeping, on-site management, help with reservations, a rooftop pool and the Rosemary amenities come with it.
Pools, tennis and the beach
The Sky Pool is heated, with a roof that opens and closes, so it's open all year, from early morning to 10 at night. The Cabana Pool has a kids' pool with a playground next to it. The eight tennis courts are green clay. A 2.3-mile fitness trail winds through town on sand paths and boardwalks, and the beach is about a quarter mile of private sand.
Renting your home
Owners can use the in-town rental program or one of the several other rental companies that manage homes in Rosemary. Guests who rent through the in-town program get the pools, tennis and fitness center, and some homes there rent for less than a week.
Every short-term rental has to register with Walton County each year. The county sets the guest limit at one person per 150 square feet of living space, or a lower number if agreed.
Building or remodeling
Rosemary's plan has 12 kinds of lots, and each home was designed by its own architect, so no two look alike. A five-part town code covers the plan, the buildings, the landscaping and how plans get reviewed. The Town Architect reviews every project, and the association enforces the code.
Things to know before you buy
- Golf carts, LSVs, ATVs and scooters have been banned inside town since March 1, 2014.
- The beach is private to owners and registered guests, through code-locked walkovers.
- The Rosemary Beach Property Owners Association runs the town, and the code covers building types, colors and materials, so plan any changes around design review.
- There's no grocery store in town. The nearest is under two miles away.
- Rosemary shares the 32461 ZIP code and the Inlet Beach mailing name, so search sites often mix the two towns together.
- The nearest public beach access is the Inlet Beach Regional Access, about a mile east.

Is Rosemary Beach the same as Inlet Beach?
No, but they share the 32461 ZIP code and mailing name. Rosemary is the planned town, and Inlet Beach is just to the east.
What are the HOA dues?
They depend on the home. I'll pull the current dues for any home you're looking at.
Where's the nearest grocery store?
Under two miles away, outside town.
How much is a house in Rosemary Beach?
From October 2023 through September 2026, houses sold for a median of about $5.1 million south of 30A and $3.4 million north of it. Flats and lofts in Town Center start around $1.25 million.

A small apartment in back, usually over the garage on the alley. Owners use them for guests, family or a long-term tenant.

Rules and fees last checked October 2026. They change, so confirm before you buy.
Who can help me buy or sell in Rosemary Beach?
I can. I'm Garett Huber, a realtor on 30A. I've lived here for 30 years and run my own vacation rental. Text or email me anytime, and I'll walk you through it.
I was here when Rosemary Beach was first being developed, and I had my own business working in homes here, so I've watched the town grow over the years. One buyer found a home on my website that I knew well: the one HGTV designer Vern Yip built and featured on the network, with a rare pool above the garage. I hadn't met the buyer yet, so I went over and filmed the home for him. He called me to write an offer, bought it, and I've helped him with the property ever since.
