One of the best places we have stayed

We have rented places about twice a year for the last 10 years or so in Mirimar Beach area, and this was one of our top favorites. The place is very clean and well supplied with everything you might need. The furniture is clean and in good condition. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of sleeping space for a large family. The communication with the owners was excellent. And it was dog friendly! It’s in a great location - easy walk to the beach. We will stay here again!

We had a great time and the location of our condo was perfect! It took less than 5 minutes for us to walk to the beach. Plenty of room in the condo for all 10 of us! After every trip to the beach, everyone came back and showered and we never ran out of hot water. The hosts are great and will answer any questions you have in a very timely matter. You want bang for your buck then look no further than this great condo close to the beautiful beaches near Destin!

One Month Stay

We were very impressed with our stay at the “Beach House” in Miramar Beach. This unit was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities one would require for a one month stay. Any questions or concerns we had (needed a light bulb changed and some barbecue maintenance) were addressed promptly. Neighbourhood was quiet and well maintained. We are looking forward to coming back to this property.

Mother/Daughter Girl Scout Senior trip

We were a group of 10 (5 moms and 5 daughter who were 17-18years old). We were a Girl Scout troop celebrating the girl’s graduation from HS. We were originally scheduled to take a cruise, but due to COVID we had to come up with a new plan. We booked this condo and it turned out to be perfect for us. The girls took the master bed room/bath so that all 5 of them could be together. (There was room for 6 in that room). The moms shared the Jack and Jill bath and other 2 rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed (skillets, dishes, coffee maker, dishwasher). We used the grill one night to make silver turtles (if you’re a Girl Scout, you know!). We used the washer and dryer several times. There were 3 beach chairs and a wagon that we used each time we went to the beach. The walk to the beach is about 6 minutes (not bad at all). There are lots of steps to get down to the beach, but once there, we had plenty of room. It wasn’t overcrowded at all. We thoroughly enjoyed the back patio and swam in the community pool once. The living room and dining area was open and perfect for us. There was a TV in every bedroom and living room, but we didn’t even turn one on. The condo is about 10 miles (30 min because of in season traffic) to Destin and about 45 minutes to Panama City Beach. The condo was clean when we arrived and Jerry was available if we needed him(which we didn’t). We loved our stay!

Beautiful and spacious!!

Our Thanksgiving getaway was so wonderful thanks to this rental! There was more than enough space for our 6 adults and 2 small dogs! The kitchen was big enough to cook a Thanksgiving dinner and bake dozens of cookies. It was very clean upon arrival, and we were surprised that it was bigger in person than it appeared in photos! Jerry was very accessible via the app messaging system, and he was ready to solve anything that might come up. We would definitely stay here again!
