The Space:

Welcome to Rustic Retreat Vacation Home. Private Heated Pool, Golf Cart Included, 400 Yards to Miramar Beach



Escape to Rustic Retreat Vacation Home, a private, gated Miramar Beach retreat just 400 yards from the sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast. With space for up to 12 guests, a heated saltwater pool and splash pad, and a 6-seater street-legal golf cart, this home was designed for families who want convenience, comfort, and unforgettable beach memories.



Private Pool Oasis with Splash Pad



Step into your own backyard resort. The private heated saltwater pool features a large 12’ x 6’ splash pad that doubles as a tanning shelf for adults and a safe play area for little ones.

The second gate connects to Highway 98 for easy access to grocery stores, shopping, and excursions without beach traffic.



Open-Concept Living Designed for Gathering

Gave it only 4 stars because of the mattresses having deep holes in them. Could use new mattresses but overall a wonderful place to stay. The common area is the best part where a group of 10 had plenty of space to spend the mornings and evenings.
