Settle in.

AC and Heat

The Watchtower is built with multiple HVAC zones. Thermostats are located on the:

  • Carriage house living room wall

  • Main house first-floor entry way wall

  • Main house third-floor living room wall

Please maintain the air conditioning and heat at a reasonable temperature. When the air conditioning is operating, DO NOT leave doors or windows open as it freezes the unit. When checking out, please set the temperature to 78 degrees in the summer and 65 degrees in the winter.

Additional Housekeeping

The house is cleaned prior to your arrival and upon your departure. If you want to schedule additional housekeeping during your stay for a fee, call Best Beach Getaways at 888.567.5150.

Amenity Key Cards

Up to five RFID key cards, that allow you access to all Rosemary Beach pools and beach walkovers, are available for your use while staying at the Watchtower. On check in, you’ll find these cards on the third floor on a dresser next to the dining room table.

When you check out, please return all cards to this location. You’ll be charged $50 to replace any unreturned or lost card.

Gas Grill

A hard-piped Weber gas grill is available on the third-floor porch for your use. You’ll also find an assortment of BBQ tools in the kitchen.

Hurricane Doors

All exterior doors are hurricane doors and the handles can be a little tricky to operate. To lock/unlock, lift up the handle, then turn the deadbolt. When unlocked, the door handle works as usual.

Laundry

There are plenty of places to do laundry at the Watchtower:

  • A stackable washer and dryer is located on the first floor in the closet right off the living area.

  • A full-size washer and full-size dryer are available in the closet on the second floor in the hallway.

  • A full-size washer and full-size dryer are available in the garage. This is a great place to wash those sandy beach items.

You'll find a couple laundry detergent pods at each location to get you started.

Missing or Damaged Items

All items in the house are inventoried. If anything is missing or damaged upon arrival, please call Best Beach Getaways at 888.567.5150 within 24 hours.

If anything is missing or damaged after departure and not reported, it will result in charges to you.

No Smoking Please

Please do not smoke anywhere on the property.

Parking

Two cars may park in the garage at the back of the house, accessible from Johnstown Lane. A third may park, blocking the garage, on the brick parking pad. To open the garage, enter the gate to the left of the garage, enter the garage man door, then press the garage door opener mounted on the wall.

Upon check in, you'll also find two parking permit hang tags with the amenity key cards. Display these tags clearly in your car to park, first come, first serve, in the spaces on Water Street at the front of the house.

If you need more help with parking, please contact Best Beach Getaways at 888.567.5150 or Rosemary Beach Security at 850.699.3469.

Quiet Hours

Rosemary Beach enforces quiet hours between 10:00 PM – 10:00 AM.

Trash

Please place all trash in the bins next to the garage. (Look for the trash can icon plaque.) Trash is picked up Tuesday and Friday morning.
