We had a great time in Miramar! The house was very nice and had everything we needed for our family of 7. The fenced in yard and private pool were great. Just a short walk to the beach and close to all the restaurants and shopping. Hope to be back soon!

Would definitely recommend!!

It’s less than a 5 minute walk from the front door to the sand. House has an amazing fully fenced yard for our dogs and an in- ground pool. The only down side was you cannot take tents or Shibumi’s of any kind on the beach. The house comes with 1 umbrella and 2 chairs but we had 7 people. I rented an extra 2 umbrellas for 369.00 for the week. We had 5 chairs of our own. That was the only unknown we ran across. Would definitely rent again !!

Exceeded Expectations

Family vacation for the 4th of July, we needed accommodations for a dog and close to the beach. This property is perfect in all ways. Especially love the home itself, not a condo, not an apartment, but a HOME in every sense of the word. Walking distance to the beach, ample room inside and out, clean and safe. Host was very accommodating and quick responses to any inquiries. The third half bath - outside - was a plus!

Very Nice House on Large Property

Location of this house was excellent...walking distance to beach, easily accessible to many restaurants, yet private and quiet. The pool was an excellent amenity for our granddaughter and the screened in patio allowed us to sit outside in the evenings without all of the bugs, etc. While the house is somewhat dated, it was clean and had plenty of character. Really enjo6ed our stay! Thanks!!!

Amazing week

This was in such a great location, just a short walk to the beach. It was so nice to have 2 chairs and an umbrella set up everyday. The pool was just lovely when we had rough waters at the beach. The house was spacious and comfortable. The back patio was a favorite and a great place to read a book. Thank you for making our first trip to the Miramar Beach/Destin area amazing. Truly blessed to have the opportunity to visit.

Great stay for multigenerational family

Spent four days with three generations of family (and our 2 year old pup) members and we had a wonderful time in this older but still welcoming property. Great location and the property manager was very responsive. On the second day, we had a minor issue with one of the restrooms and within 15 minutes, some one was there to fix it.

Family Beach Trip

Lovely beach home with a beautiful fenced-in yard, private pool with spacious lanai, and plenty of parking. Inside, the home is tastefully decorated with comfortable living room and bedrooms, along with a fully stocked kitchen. It's a short walk to the beach. Shopping and restaurants are close by. We enjoyed our time spent here and highly recommend this VRBO!

Perfect location, close to beach- every dogs dream!

What a lovely house located within walking distance to the beach. The 2 beach chairs and umbrella that come with the rental that gets set up everyday at the beach was wonderful for people who do not want to carry these items to the beach everyday.This house has one of the biggest fenced in yards that we saw in this area. Our dog loved being able to go outside and walk on grass that was not hot on her feet. The house was spacious for our party of 8 that stayed. The pool at the house was a great added feature were we could cool off after the beach. We will definitely be staying here if we come to Mirmar/Destin area again.

Texas to Destin Family Vacation

Location, Location, Location!!! It was a short walk to the beach, convenience store, ice cream shop, coffee shop and a few restaurants. By car everything that you need is just minutes away. When we arrived access to Weldon's Seadog was easy and thank goodness for the pool. Except for one rain delay day the rest of the week was double Red Flag Days (boo hoo) beach OK but no swimming. The house was wonderful, big and roomy enough beds for all eight of us. Kitchen was well stocked. Dining room was large enough for us all. Did I mention the POOL! life saver and it was screened in as well. On the pool patio there was a patio set with sofa and chairs not as pictured, but I think it was better. The yard was big enough for the kids to run around. The grill was adequate cooked burgers and dogs. We did contact the owner about a broom and had a Maintenace man get us one. Overall, our stay at Weldon's SeaDog home was very enjoyable and we would like to come back again. See ya'll soon

Outstanding

House was well equipped, very homey like going to my great aunt’s vacation home in Key Biscayne when I was a child. The screened in porch was awesome, super spacious (just 2 + baby). Walk to the beach was super quick and we loved that it came with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. Kitchen was very equipped. Only slept on 1 bed the entire time and it was a very firm mattress. Art, the landscaper was super nice, had a wealth of knowledge and really good to talk to, I believe he is a captain for charter fishing and if I had more time, would have booked and enjoyed having further conversations with him. Communication with owner was excellent, very quick too. The downsides, it wasn’t the most ideal location for us personally. We are more familiar with sea grove/watercolor area so it was about 30 minute drive for dinner every night to our normal romps like Cafe 30A/Perfect Pig/Shunk Gulley/Watercolor Town Center, but it is close it Ben and Jerry’s and on the cusp of Destin so if that is your gig, then you’d love the location. The appliances are modern but some of the furniture isn’t, there is carpeting in bed rooms. Definitely some minor touch things that are cosmetic that make it seem more dated but it didn’t bother us. Restroom situation would be kind of wonky if you traveled with multiple couples. Overall we had a great time, saved this place and plan to return next time we are in the area if the stars align. Thanks so much for letting us stay Penny!

Great Anniversary getaway

Great space for a quick family getaway with 6 adults and 1 child. Has 4 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom in main bedroom and 1 other to share, luckily our room was close to the outside bathroom so we made it work, though it gets muggy in July but not the fault of the owners. Private pool is great and we enjoyed it often. Access to beach was easy and we were provided with two chairs & an umbrella so my mom was comfortable. Inside house was clean and had pretty much everything we needed.
