Welcome to Vista Maris, a coastal retreat designed to bring you closer to the sea. Spanning 5,370 sq. ft. with room for up to 22 guests, this Miramar Beach escape blends timeless elegance with the easy rhythm of Gulf-front living. It's a place for family milestones, beach reunions, and laughter that lingers long after your stay.
Inside, five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms offer plenty of space to spread out, with each room carrying its own character. Private balconies invite salty breezes, the bunk room was made for fun, and the primary suite feels like a private spa with its soaking tub framed by columns and rainfall shower.
The living spaces were built for connection. Gather in the chef's kitchen with double ovens and a breakfast bar, linger over meals at the dining table, or unwind in the game room with a pool table, wet bar, and kitchenette. Even quiet nights are special here, with cozy seating and Smart TVs throughout the home.
Step into the courtyard and you'll find your own boutique resort. A heated pool with a waterfall spa sparkles in the sun, Adirondack chairs invite you to stay awhile, and the grill sets the stage for al fresco dinners. Upstairs, a covered balcony offers additional seating and endless Gulf views that make sunset unforgettable.
With thoughtful amenities like a stand-alone ice maker, and a street-legal golf cart ($50 per day and waiver required), Vista Maris makes every detail effortless. Its location puts you steps from Miramar Beach's turquoise waters and walking distance to Pompano Joe's, with shopping, water sports, and HarborWalk Village all just minutes away.
At Vista Maris, mornings begin with ocean views, afternoons melt away by the pool, and evenings end with the glow of a Gulf sunset. This isn't just a beach house — it's where your best coastal memories are waiting to be made.

Liked: Location
The location was amazing. Home was clean. There was a lot of wear and tear throughout the home, but nothing that impacted the stay.
Our family of eleven stayed at this gorgeous property to celebrate Christmas. It had more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms, it is extremely clean and well stocked, and a VERY short walk to a white sand beach with crystal water. The beach has an access code so it was almost private like!Owners are exceptionally kind and responsive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Proximity and access to the beach was awesome. The property managers were a pleasure to work with when we had a couple of house maintenance issues. They were quick to respond an to correct the issues. They sent us donuts to apologize for the inconvenience. The kitchen and Cook ware were highway we needed to cook for 20 peopleA day.
