✨ Whether you’re here for family fun, a beach escape, or just to relax—this is the place where memories are made. Book your Destin getaway today!
The house is situated in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in Miramar Beach, FL. With its prime location, a lot of exciting activities await you here! A beach trip will never be complete without trying out thrill-seeking beach activities, such as parasailing, jet-skiing, or banana boating, so head on to the watersports rentals and water parks nearby for a fun and unforgettable adventure! If you are looking for something unique and more extreme, the adventure parks or off-road tours nearby are definitely worth the experience!
For retail therapy, the premium outlet malls are just 10 minutes away from our beach home. We’re located just a few miles from Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name-brand designer stores. Also nearby is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop-up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe. Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway which also has a movie theater! Surely, you will never run out of things to do while on vacation with us!
Dining options in this area are endless. We recommend trying the Whales Tail for one of the freshest seafood-inspired menus in the area and mesmerizing ocean views. Pompano Joes is another local favorite. Other great eateries include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food, and numerous others.
We also recommend checking out Dolphin Reef, if snorkeling is on your itinerary. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), you can enjoy an up close and personal view of the amazing seal life that calls the reef home. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or another flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often.

Family time
The house was beautiful and located in a safe, very clean neighborhood with a gated community and a clean beach. We are a family of six, and the house could easily accommodate more people. It was only a 5-minute walk to the beach, and afterward, we enjoyed the pool. We were glad we opted for the heated pool, especially in the chilly weather.The house had everything we needed for our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our family time!

Beautiful (Easy) Vacation
Communication with the owners of the house was very efficient and friendly. Tasks and rules were labeled around the house and organized in the welcome guide. Our vacation was so smooth & easy. Highly recommend this house. Very short walk to the beach. Great little private neighbor for walks. Neighbors are friendly and we even made friends with some of the dogs that lived nearby. Plenty of shopping, things to do, and places to eat (also neatly organized in the owner's welcome guide). Short drives to the airport, grocery, morning coffee, and all of the other essentials. Not being from Florida, it could be very overwhelming traveling with a group of 12, ages ranging from 3-56, but we never ran out of things to do even with it being mostly overcast and rainy for our stay. More importantly, it fit us all comfortably and provided everything we needed. The washer & dryer was very handy! The pool & outdoor area was a great set up and fit us all. There were toys for the pool and some for the beach along with a beach wagon and chairs. Location, accessibility, options, and a clean space was all we could ask for and we got it! It was a great vacation!

Wonderful stay!
Stayed at this house with my family (husband & infant) + friends (husband, wife and their two kids). The home was the perfect space for us! The setup was great- with our favorite space being the living room/ dining room area where we could all comfortably hang out, enjoy breakfast & dinner, play games or watch TV. We chose to heat the pool during our stay and so glad we did - since the temps were cooler than usual.. we still got great use out of the pool! The fenced in backyard was huge for us too- since we had two furry friends with us! The location of the home is PERFECT! Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, etc. The Dollar General located at the corner of the enterance of the community- was great for grabbing needed items. Host was always quick to respond to any messages / requests & very accommodating! So much as to have something dropped off at the house that wasn’t in my he house. Highly recommend this property!

I didn’t like the house because it was dirty
unfortunately It was not what we expected for the cost of this property we found cockroaches ,rat poop I didn't have trash bags I didn't have napkins the house was not clean. She accused them of losing control of the garage door so as not to refund anything, her response was funny, wanting to reward $100 dollars for everything we mentioned to her and looking for an excuse to make a dispute and not make any refund.
We also we have a lots the pictures.
