About this property

20% off March 2025!! GULF & BEACH VIEWS. PRIVATE BEACH! Just STEPS to Rosemary!

Now I Sea is a new beach house with construction finished in February 2015. It is located three houses from Rosemary Beach (closest rental in Inlet Beach to Rosemary with gulf views) and directly across the street from the most western Inlet Beach access. This house has the most beautiful views of the ocean and unbelievable views of the sunsets from the second and third levels of this home. You couldn't ask for a better location...easy access to Rosemary Beach...but without the crowds on the beach.

Now I Sea looks directly at the white sand beaches and gorgeous blue waters of the Gulf Coast from the second and third levels. The walk to the private beach access is just a few steps from the front door. There is a community pool out our back door with lots of great lounge chairs and tables for you to enjoy. There is an outdoor shower on the front of the house to rinse off after spending a long day at the beach.

Now I Sea is a beautifully furnished home with lots of sunlight and expansive views of the gulf. The home has plenty of room for the privacy of everyone. Be one of the first to stay in this new home with new linens and new furnishings!

The first level has two queen bedrooms with a bath they share. It also has a master suite with a king bed and attached spacious master bath. There is also a spacious laundry room on the first level with an ice maker to pack your cooler for your excursion to the beach.

The second level features on open floor plan with a large gourmet kitchen, dining, and living room. The kitchen and dining areas seat 12 comfortably, 8 at the table and 4 at the island. The living room provides comfortable seating for all and opens up to a large deck with a large sectional sofa and dining table that seats 8. There is also a speaker system throughout the living, kitchen, second level deck, and the third level deck that you can enjoy listening to music while you are relaxing and taking in the views. Off the kitchen is a stylish powder room that you will love. There is also a spacious master suite with attached master bath off the kitchen.

You are 25 minutes from the Panama City International Airport. You are 10 miles from Pier Park in Panama City Beach if you want to go to a movie, shop, or ride the rides!

The third level has another living room with a pull out sofa with an attached full bath. There is also a private bunk room with 4 bunk beds for the kids to enjoy. The third level has a sun deck with 2 chaise lounges and table that seats 4. The views and sunsets from this deck are truly amazing!

All bedrooms have luxurious linens and Stearns & Foster mattresses. All bedrooms and living rooms have LED wall mounted flat screen TVs. The house is also wired with speakers and sonos sound system in the living area and on both second and third level decks.

There is parking for four cars in the driveway. All linens, towels, paper supplies, and soaps are provided.

2024 Family Beach Trip
WOW! What a great house for a 10-14 family member vacation. It was perfect from the start with communication with the property owners who were fantastic to the location only steps away from the beach. House was well maintained, everything was as listed and worked to perfection. When we return this will be our first choice to stay in Inlet/Rosemary!

Exceeded our expectations! The perfect week!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Now I Sea. This house was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and well stocked with every amenity that you could possibly need. We stayed with 12 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. We especially enjoyed the beautiful gulf views in the morning from the second floor deck and spending our afternoon at the pool after a long day at the beach. Kristen and Rick were quick to respond to every questions that we had and helped us find a local kennel to watch our cat for the week that we were there. It truly was the perfect family vacation. You can’t go wrong with this rental!

We did good
Our son-in-laws comments 'awesome location, new, clean and great space.' My husbands comments 'House was minutes from Rosemary Beach and 1 minute walk to the beach (private and public). House was very well equipped, very spacious and very bright with lots of windows. Great view of the ocean from the deck. Also a wonderful private community pool 1 minute walk as an alternative to the Ocean. Great location in a well cared for home.' My daughter and I planned the vacation and we both said 'we did good'. Our families want to come back next year and stay longer. Kristen's prompt responses to our questions during the planning of our vacation was much appreciated.

Amazing location
We have stayed in the area multiple times over the last 10 years . We absolutely loved this location because it us close to beach, pool & shops at Rosemary. The house is well stocked and with adequate space for a large group . We had 12 adults two littles . Air conditioning is nice and cold and decks are perfect. Definitely a house we would book again.

Great Location, Property and Hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The proximity to private beach was very convenient, making it easy for a big group to spend time by ocean without having to pack up kids in cars etc. Spacious property with balconies where you can look over at the ocean or people watch while the crowds enter and exit the public beach. Hosts were very responsive and assisted us swiftly when the propane tank ran out. Would recommend this experience to friends & family.

Wow! Beautiful home/view
Excellent location. Beach access was so close. You can walk back and forth btw house/beach no problem. The house is beautiful. We had a party of 12, everyone had their own space and loved the house! Beds are comfortable. The sunsets are amazing from the 2nd/3rd floor balconies. We can’t wait to come back.

We loved this house!
Our family loved everything about this house. The location is perfect - right across the street from the private beach access and just a couple houses down from the community pool which felt close to private, as well. The views from both balconies are incredible! We really enjoyed dinner and drinks out there as the sun was setting. Everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the beds were. They are like sleeping on clouds! Our kids loved the bunk room and entire third floor that they had to themselves! Our hosts really thought of everything and were extremely responsive when we had one issue with the lock on the door. They immediately sent a repair man and had it fixed that day. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Kristen and Rick!

Five star Home
The home is decorated beautifully And has a cozy feeling. We were steps from our private beach and community pool which made our lives easy going back and forth with small children. There is a beautiful ocean view that really makes you feel like you are right on the beach. Homeowners were very responsive to any and all questions/requests. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing Home with the Best Beach Location
This house was absolutely stunning. Every room was decorated beautifully and tastefully. Even the bathrooms were stunning. Everyone said their beds were super comfortable and that the linens were very soft. The view from both balconies were unobstructed straight to the ocean. The community pool is right behind the house and while we were there, we had the pool to ourselves. I took away one star because there was only one trash bag, one roll of paper-towels, no salt and pepper, only one laundry pod left for a group of 11 people, and everyone ran out of toilet paper on the second day. We figured after spending a couple thousand dollars for a long weekend, we'd at least have these kinds of necessary items available for us when we arrived, so we had to order a taxi to take us all the way to Panama City to get those items. Other than that inconvenience, the home was great!!!

Best Home in this Area!!
We have rented almost everything there is to rent in Barbary Coast (the community of about 20 homes in this area) This home is the BEST! It is clean and so nice and looks JUST as the pictures show it to. So many homes look great on VRBO but when you arrive, you find it is NOT like the photos. Well, this one is and more! From the beautiful furnishings to the fabulous decor, this home is a place I could live, year round, just as is! The location is the best as Rosemary is directly next door and you can walk or bike there is just minutes. The home is spacious. The layout is perfect for several families to share or one large family. It faces the ocean with beautiful, unobstructed views to your right (sunset!) from the main deck. If you rent this house, PLEASE keep it as nice as it is so we can ALL enjoy it again and again! I have already rebooked for the summer:) Kerrie J Nashville, TN

Great place to stay!
This house was very nice for our family. There is a private beach access across the street to the left and a public beach access across the street and to the right. The beach chair service guy is very very nice and knowledgeable about the area. The easiest way to book with him is through his website ahead of time. The view is pretty much blocked directly in front of the house now because of a large home that is being built, but there is still a nice view looking to the right where you have a beautiful ocean view. Parking for four large SUV/Trucks is awesome, not many places have that. It is basically in Rosemary, we walked there several times and it was only a 10 minute walk. There were just a few things I guess you would call complaints/ suggestions. There were very few bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths, we had to wash the ones we had several times because there were so few. There was also only one dish towel. We had to buy a couple at the grocery store. There are no bikes to use, most places come with bikes and or a golf cart to use. And the TVs need to be upgraded. They are old, bad pictures and not smart TVs so you can’t log on to your accounts you use from home like Netflix, Disney ect. Not that we watched a lot of TV, but when you have kids, it’s definitely nice to have. The upstairs area was really nice for the kids, 6 kids could sleep up there and they have there own bathroom. Just be cautious with little ones out on the 3rd floor balcony. Overall great stay!

Great property stunning view!
I’ll start with all of positives first because they are plentiful. The property gives you great views from both decks, we enjoyed our coffee and mimosas there every morning and watched the sunset every evening. The property is directly across the street from the beach and your walkway is to the right out your front door. The pictures do show the true beauty. The home is beautifully decorated and the owners did an excellent job stocking needed supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms. We had a large party with our younger teens being quite tall. Everyone reported that their beds were comfy even the teens in the bunk room. There is plenty of space to all gather in one room or to spread out when needed. Your street connects to rosemary beach. You can walk or bike over to all of their shops and restaurants. One thing to note: your keypad entry is at the back door, so you have to walk around through the pine needles each time you’re returning home to key in. It’s not a big deal but would be more convenient if the keypad was at the front door. The loungers on the upper deck need new cushions. They were pretty busted up. We had some issues with the thermostat that was eventually replaced. The owners are extremely responsive to all needs but maintenance seemed to not understand that it wasn’t our programming that was off but the unit until they returned for the second time. Despite the problem, I would strongly recommend the home and will likely bring my group back again if we decide to return to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Merriam

Host profile image
We live in Birmingham, Alabama. We have 4 children and love coming to the beach.

Why they chose this property

We bought this lot in 2013 after much searching for a prime location in Inlet Beach. We have stayed in Rosemary in the past but fell in love with Inlet Beach. You are adjacent to Rosemary without the crowds! There are not many gulf view properties left and we lucked out on a prime location.
