Beautiful views
We had a great week at Nifty shades of gray. The views from the kitchen/ livingroom area are amazing, the short walk to the beach and the outdoor shower made it so easy to enjoy the beach with kids. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked and management was quick to help with anything we needed. I saw previous reviews talking about dirty furniture but the furniture was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this property.

over priced and run down
With the price of this weekly rental, we had high hopes! We would not stay there again. The rental was not clean, very few towels, toilet paper, or paper towels. It should be perfect upon arrival with plenty of basic supplies for a high end rental. We spend the first day cleaning the refrigerator and other areas. Couches and appliances need to be replaced. There is a 7000 ft. beach house being built next door. The construction workers woke us up every day at 7am with loud sounds. That should have been stated up front. That construction will not be completed for at least another 18 months. Beware!! Location is great, property is run down and not upgraded at all. The property management says they will look into things in the reviews, but it is clear that nothing happens. The price does not match what you get. Keep looking!!

Beautiful home on the beach!!
We stayed at the house for a week with family and friends. The house is large enough to accommodate multiple families. The house is in the perfect location right on the beach. The view from the multiple porches is breathtaking. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the ocean nightly. There is easy access to bike paths to nearby towns for shops and restaurants. The house is clean, comfortable, and well stocked with linens, cookware, beach toys and games. We enjoyed a very relaxing week and look forward to visiting again soon!!

Perfect beach house for family, best location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nifty Shades of Gray! The house layout (rooms, etc.) was perfect for our family. All areas were utilized regularly and we took advantage of all the amenities available. The decks were great, especially when the weather was not ideal on the beach. You cannot beat the location! We often walked or biked to nearby restaurants, shops, and such. And the proximity and access to the beach were great! Any issues with the property were very minor. We will be back again!

Could be better organized
The best thing was the view and being able to walk onto beach. For the price we paid the attention to the details and the little things should have been noticed. The kitchen was not organized at all. We were not left with trash bags or a sponge in kitchen area. The sofa chair have stains on it. The area off the Kitchen where the sofa and chair can only sit 3 people comfortably. We had to find where the bath towels were. Several broken deck chairs. There were some places that had cobb webs with bugs. But that me noticing the little things. Again the view and being right on beach and with my friends was the best part. I don’t think I’ll stay there again which is sad because of the convenience to beach.

Beautiful but look out for the loud kids every night....
This home was absolutely beautiful and great for a group, however the location allowed for loud groups up to 50 or so teens and young college-aged kids to descend down the public access right next door every night about 9. There was no regard for the No Tresspassing signage and they brought loud music, alcohol, etc. with them and used the dune right in front of us as a restroom while we were sitting on the deck enjoying the moon over the water. The group even gathered around the protected sea turtles waiting to hatch chanting and shining their phone lights at them. Nightly calls to the Sherriff's department only resulted in the kids dropping their drinks on the beach and running (including up our walkover) to hide. Zero arrests to deter the kids because the officer (different each night) said they do not have the resources and that the problem has been going on for months. While this is no fault of the owner/manager, this community should address as we will not be returning and would discourage anyone from renting here.

Best Outside Living Spaces on entire beach
Loved the amount of covered and uncovered outside decks. Loved the fire pit, grill and outside dining. Gorgeous view of beach and sunset. Do need better Private Beach signage as people frequently used our private walkway and encroached on our beach area. Also, PP please let people know before they rent a golf cart that you really cannot park many places on Rosemary Beach. But that did not take away from our amazing week- we would stay here again for sure! Loved it!

Nifty is an understatement!
This might be the most beautiful home on the beach. It is simple on the outside, but inside, that bay living room with the three banks of sliding glass doors that push out onto the beach make you feel fully immersed in the beach and the waves. Highly recommend. A minor head's up: bring everything; there is nothing here. Not a keurig coffee pod, a tsp of salt, or a scoop of Tide. There is one blowdryer and one shampoo and conditioner for four bathrooms. I would have liked to have known that in advance. I rated the check-in a four because the lock box was rusted and we needed help entering the property, but I'm certain they will fix that. All in all, an unforgettable stay.

AMAZING HOUSE AND BEACH
Nifty Shades of Gray was the perfect beach house! The layout was perfect for my son and his babies to have the peace and quiet of downstairs with its own sitting room while the rest of us could be upstairs and not be concerned about waking sleeping babies. The view from the kitchen and living area is magnificent with porches to sit and watch the sunset or your family directly in front of you on the beach. There is direct access and a short walk to the beach. There is also a wonderful downstairs porch and large outside dining area and grill. We totally enjoyed eating here most nights. The nice breeze from the beach made it a lovely area to not only enjoy a meal but also to visit. There is also an outdoor shower with direct access to indoors which was super helpful in leaving sand outside where it belongs. The beds were very comfortable; no saggy mattresses! The bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, living areas were very clean and fresh! There is also a second refrigerator/freezer, as well as, an ice machine downstairs in the laundry room! There is also 2 beach chairs and an umbrella set up for you each morning directly in front of the house, not squished in with other beach set ups so our whole family had our own space to build castles and enjoy the children. There are also 4 bikes parked at the back door for your enjoyment. We thoroughly enjoyed our bike adventures. This house is the perfect set up! Would totally go back, as well as, refer others to Nifty Shades of Gray.
