However it…read morewas more than half empty and so quiet when we went up in the early afternoon noon, that it was almost boring. No music or anything. There were also about 5 bar staff and 10 customers on the entire roof, and our wine and frozen cocktail took a while to get. We had to walk up to the bar to close out our check because the waitress never came back to our table.

The prices for lunch were reasonable, and the dinner prices were on the pricey side. There were only a few tables being served for lunch, but then dinner time, the place was much busier. Service was overall good, but we waited a considerable amount of time at dinner for our drinks. The dinner drinks were all specials, inventive, and expensive. All of the dishes we ordered were all done extremely well. Excellent preparation, well seasoned, the right temps, and good portions. Dinner came we a couple baskets of bread, fresh and warm, with a specialty butter. The servers were attentive, personal, patient and helpful. We would come back in the future.

I understand that sodas are a big source of profit for businesses and I have no problem with a…read morebusiness making money. My issue is with being upfront and transparent about the price/product. $4 for a 32 oz. fountain drink is not what most people would consider a reasonable price. Especially when that price isn't clearly communicated beforehand. I understand this is a vacation area and that prices are generally higher and people expect to pay more. What bothered me was feeling blindsided by the price after the fact. It's similar to advertising something as a fountain drink but then charging separately for refills. I understand the business model and I'm not saying a business shouldn't do it. Just be upfront about it so customers can make an informed choice. I also understand that policies like this may have come about because people were staying for long periods without spending additional money. That's the business's decision to make. But the price and refill policy should be clearly communicated rather than leaving customers to find out after ordering. I'm not trying to be overly critical. What bothered me most was the response from the business, which seemed to downplay the concern and make it sound like this was a completely normal or expected practice. Regardless of whether other businesses do it (which no other business on 30A does this), I think customers have a legitimate reason to be surprised by a $4 for a fountain drink, only to find out it's just 32 oz.

We spent the first week of August at 10 Federal Street in WaterSound, Florida, and the home itself…read morewas absolutely beautiful. It was light, airy, very comfortable, and tastefully decorated throughout. The furnishings were clearly well thought out, from the sofas and tables to the dining area and large kitchen island. The lighting made the home feel bright and welcoming. The house was well equipped for a weeklong stay, with sheets, towels, and essentials provided. The only minor issue was the ice maker, which produced very little ice, so we had to buy bags nearby. The screened-in front porch was a highlight, especially the swinging sofa, which we used daily for coffee and relaxing evenings. The included golf cart was a major plus and essentially necessary, since there is no direct beach access. We used it to reach Deer Lake State Park, which was beautiful and inexpensive to enter. Our main disappointment was that the rental did not include access to WaterSound Club pools or private beach facilities. The available pools were crowded and geared toward young children, which didn't suit our family. Nearby The Big Chill was convenient but very busy and not very clean during our visit. We enjoyed exploring nearby 30A communities, but parking was often difficult and Uber rides were more expensive than expected. Overall, the home itself was excellent--comfortable, stylish, and well maintained. Most drawbacks relate to the broader WaterSound area rather than the property. We had a great family week and really enjoyed staying at 10 Federal Street.

Seating inside and out. Located on the corner of the strip right up against 30A Expect to spend atleast $40 a person on the cheaper end and sky is the limit from there. Wonderful steak option closer to $80 that is aged and highly recommend. Parking can be tuff so if your staying in the area I'd walk or get a ride. Parking is either right agaisnt the building or you won't find any. Shares parking with homes, shopping and more. Such a beautiful area.

One of the most delicious meals I've had on Rosemary Beach!…read more We had 8pm dinner reservations for a party of 5 on a Friday night. Right when we arrived, we were walked to our table, which was a booth and was plenty of room for the 5 of us. When we were walking to our table, I noticed how nice this restaurant was! The ambiance was on point. Very nice but not too nice. Our waiter immediately addressed us when we sat down and gave us his recommendations for drinks. I decided on the peach Paloma spritz. It was delicious and well presented. Others in my party got red wine, a French 75 and the market ranch water. I thought mine was the most delicious lol. Before we ordered our appetizers, the waiter was so beyond knowledgeable about the whole menu. Gave us all of the specials like nothing I have ever heard before. He was so great! For our appetizers, we got the bread butter candle, smoked fish dip, and the burrata salad. The bread butter candle was the best thing I've ever had! It was so cool and very unique. I absolutely loved the burrata salad, but I thought the fish dip was a tad too fishy for me. For our entrees, most of the table got the red fish and the other two got the steak and the pasta. We all devoured the red fish! It was so delicious and a good portion. Others in my pastry weren't fans of the pasta, but the steak was one of the best I've ever tasted. From the service to the food to the ambiance, this place is one of my favorites I've ever dined at! I can't wait to come back!

We had lunch at Fish Out of Water just minutes after getting engaged, so this meal will always hold…read morea special place in our hearts. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. They greeted us as "Mr. and Mrs.," congratulated us on our engagement, and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made an already unforgettable day even more special. The service was truly impeccable. Our server was hilarious, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated. The appetizers were fantastic, and the atmosphere was beautiful. It was the perfect setting to soak in such an exciting milestone. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the entrées didn't quite live up to the rest of the experience. I ordered the Cajun shrimp and grits, and while they were prepared well, they didn't have the bold Cajun flavor I was expecting. They were very mild and could have used a lot more seasoning. My fiancé ordered the tacos from the lunch menu, and they unfortunately weren't his favorite either. Even with that, the exceptional hospitality is what we'll remember most. The staff made us feel genuinely celebrated, and that level of service is hard to come by. We'd absolutely return and simply try different entrées next time because the overall experience was one we'll never forget.

They are so knowledgeable and very patient and accommodating. Reservations were hard to come by so we ended up eating at the bar for dinner. Started with the crabcakes and they were delicious. Definitely fresh and a decent size for two. I enjoy the filet with brussels sprouts, scallop potatoes, and a side of blue cheese. This is the first time I've had a wedge of blue cheese instead of it being melted on the filet and it was very unique. My steak was cooked perfect. Throughout our stay, we popped in and out to have a drink or two, and although we felt sometimes a little out of place... The bartenders absolutely made our night. It's hit or miss with the crowd - and best to make a reservation. We highly recommend!

A special shoutout to our hostess, Chris, for going above and beyond -- toward the end of our meal, things started getting a little chaotic with the kids (if you know, you know), and she swooped in with extra paper and crayons to help them color.

We enjoyed our time at…read moreCamp Creek Inn, and each day when we arrived or left the Camp Creek Inn Clubhouse, we always passed by 1936 and its bar. My wife and I met her colleagues at the bar multiple times while I also ate breakfast at 1936 twice. Some of the staff were helpful and others didn't seem like they wanted to be there during breakfast. The food was all-around good. At the same time, the bar staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to be helpful. They were familiar with the obscure cocktail requests that my friend made without referencing a recipe book. Special thanks to Dulce and Benjamin at the bar!! The breakfast menu at 1936 includes Light Start items, Chef's Sunrise Specials, The Southern Griddle items, a Kids' Menu, and side dishes. On both days, my guest and I each ordered an Inn Breakfast consisting of two eggs cooked to your preference, Applewood smoked bacon, Logan Turnpike grits or breakfast potatoes, and biscuit or toast. My first day, I ordered toast along with bacon and breakfast potatoes with two eggs scrambled. The second day, I ordered a biscuit with breakfast potatoes with fruit instead of bacon. Everything was tasty! 1936 is open for Camp Creek Inn guests along with WaterSound Club members to enjoy its lounge and bar. It was named for the company's founding year and considers itself to offer an elevated yet warm and comfortable bar and relaxed lounge. It is considered to be the ideal place to gather for lighter fare and happy hour in the evening. 1936 is open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. The bar is open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Visit the 1936 website at https://watersoundclub.com/dining/1936 to see a gallery of images of 1936 along with the various menus. They have a breakfast menu (7-10:30 AM daily), a lunch and dinner menu, a drink menu, and a Golf Course Grab 'N Go menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're at the Camp Creek Inn!

There is a sweets suite that has granola bars, popcorn, soda, oranges and apples, goldfish, an ice and water machine, espresso machine (that also makes hot cocoa), and ice cream bars! No need to pack extra snacks for your little ones on this trip! The rooms are large and the balconies have a gorgeous view of the bluest turquoise waters- it reminded me of being in the islands! The turndown service brings you fresh homemade cookies every night (so don't use your DND!). The staff onsite are super accommodating, the drinks at the bar are delicious, and the food is good as well. The pool drinks are more expensive if you go to the beach club next door. The pool area has a huge sunscreen dispenser (never seen one of these), ice water, fire pits (free to use). There is a tiny gym off the lobby (open 24/7). It has one treadmill, one elliptical, free weights, one bench, on pulley system and a Lululemon mirror thing. No one seemed to use it, so that was nice. The beach is powdered sugar soft a the ocean is clear and calm. It was an OASIS! The only surprise is that there isn't any drink service. Luckily the pool bar wasn't too far away. There is a free trolley you can take to other pools like the Watercolor Club (for kids), and other locations. There are some eateries within walking distance (however not a ton). The whole town is walkable and bike friendly. If you're a runner, there's a paved walkway that goes alongside the main road for miles and miles. I stuck to the trails behind the houses and loved it! It was secluded and woodsy, and yet I still saw houses so it didn't feel unsafe. This was probably one of the best vacations I've been on- it felt foreign but was stateside. Everyone enjoyed it- myself, my husband, our toddler, and my older in-laws. It's worth every penny! And bonus: the AC works amazingly! You can have a cold room and the ceiling fan makes it even better! The housekeeping was also phenomenal! Everyone was friendly and did such a great job! They gave us more shampoo, etc without us even having to ask. My only cons- I wish the free bike rental had helmets. I don't trust drivers when I have a little one to take care of, and the pool pump was loud so we couldn't really hear the ocean from the balcony, but not a deal killer.
