Established 1995
Imagine closing the front door and strolling down boardwalks past masterfully designed cottages, gardens and parks. No traffic, no highways, no crowds and no stress.
Rosemary Beach is a master planned community. Interconnected by a network of pedestrian footpaths that lead to all public areas, including the beach, the Town Center, tennis courts, swimming pools and other amenities. The pedestrian scale ensures that every place within Rosemary Beach is easily accessible by foot. Nothing is more than a 5 minute walk away from the Town Center, where shops, restaurants, the Town Hall and Post Office beckon residents to gather, work and socialize.
As you stroll along the footpaths in Rosemary Beach, named for the native species of rosemary herb that can be found throughout our community, you will discover some delightful surprises …
Nine Private Dune Walkovers
Rosemary Beach made a commitment to protect the environment by not building beyond the coastal construction buffer zone. In keeping with that commitment, nine (A to I) dune walkovers have been built providing residents and guests beach access. Entry is restricted to those staying on property. All gates require a smart card for access.
Butterfly Garden
In the Northwest corner of Rosemary Beach is a lovely butterfly garden. This garden was conceived to emphasize the significance of the native landscape. A wooden walkway weaves through colorful plantings.
Architecture
Rosemary Beach’s traditional neighborhood plan is a community that encourages pedestrian traffic, community interaction and interdependence among neighbors while relying on strict urban codes and regulations to ensure architectural harmony.
To establish and preserve the unique vision and character of Rosemary Beach, the urban planners and architects provided guidelines for the placement, design and construction of all homes and buildings in Rosemary Beach. The resulting Master Plan is an intricate patchwork of different house types built to suit a wide range of individual tastes. With 400 homes sites, each home in Rosemary Beach is architecturally unique yet is an inextricable part of the fabric of the community.
The shapes and silhouettes in Rosemary Beach call to mind St. Augustine, the West Indies, New Orleans and Charleston. Deep eaves provide shade from the afternoon sun. High ceilings draw breezes through houses. Gardens, courtyards and porches become outdoor rooms.
Eastern Green & Western Green and St. Augustine Green
Large, open green spaces for concerts, movies and community events.
