Very nice cottage with beach chairs, etc. available on the porch. I was confused because I booked it through VRBO but then it was managed by Forever Vacation Rentals.

I really liked this property. Quiet, well located. Friendly neighbors and just few minutes walking to a quiet beach. Easy check-in and Check-out process…will definitely recommend it…
We stay at hidden dunes every summer. We absolutely love it. It’s quiet close to the beach and our condo was beautiful and we’ve never had a bad stay here. Absolutely love it.
Loved the decor and the location. Pool in our backyard and only a short walk to the beach. Amazing place

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive review with us! We are thrilled to hear that you loved the decor and location of our property. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon! - Forever Vacation Rentals
Loved this place!! Steps from the pool and just a short walk to the beach which is even faster when the tram - aka golf cart - is running. I will book directly next time so I don’t have to pay extra VRBO fees. Property management company, Forever Vacation Rentals was super easy to work with!!
The cottage has been recently renovated. It is beautiful, has a great kitchen, and the back porch faces the pool. We loved our stay and will be back.

We have stayed at HD many times and were very pleased with our stay again! The resort is always so well kept. This cottage specifically was beautifully remodeled. It was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed.

Loved the location of our condo. We were right next to the pool and not far from the beach. The condo was clean and perfect for two kids and two adults. Would stay here again in the future.

Very nice property that is starting to show its age but is well maintained. Aside from the 12-15 minute walk to the beach, overall stay was good. Only downside was noise from upstairs but to be expected in close confines. Would consider staying again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Willow Cottage! The convenience to the pool and tram service to the beach was excellent. There were plenty of pool and beach toys for the family. That was a huge bonus. We only wish there were more washcloths and towels. Everything else was great! (Unrelated to the house: the gas grills were not working)We appreciate the communication of AC maintenance.
We enjoyed our stay the week of Memorial Day. The condo is nice and clean. It's located right near the pool and an easy walk to the beach. Really enjoyed the screened in porch. My only suggestion would be the nonstick pan needs replacing and needs cooking utencils for nonstick cookware, not metal ones. Great vacation, we'll be back!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay during Memorial Day week and found the condo to be nice and clean. It's great to know that the location was convenient for you, being so close to the pool and an easy walk to the beach. We appreciate your feedback regarding the nonstick pan and utensils and will definitely take it into consideration for future improvements. We're thrilled to hear that you had a great vacation and look forward to welcoming you back in the future! - Forever Vacation Rentals
This property was exactly as described. It was one of the cleanest properties I’ve stayed at, and we enjoyed staying in as much as we enjoyed being at the pool or on the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked and the rental company was great about communicating work being done around the property (didn’t bother us at all) and even called to check on us during the stay. The security at the front gate always greeted us upon entering, which made us smile. We had a wonderful stay and will be returning! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
FYI- you’ll need cone shaped coffee filters to enjoy coffee in this beautiful home! ;)

We were so pleased with the amount of space & how clean this condo was! I enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning having coffee with the view of the pool. Also, being on the ground floor was so nice as well. The walk to the beach is a long walk, but shockingly we weren’t there for the beach. There is a nice man with a golf cart who will take you to the beach, but it was $25. You can drive your car closer as there is parking spaces along the wooden privacy fence. We were there on a fishing trip. I highly recommend this condo!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of the condo and that your mornings on the porch were so relaxing. Being on the ground floor definitely has its perks! We’re sorry for any confusion, but we wanted to clarify that the beach tram is actually free for all guests—it’s a great option to make the trip to the beach even easier. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay! - Forever Vacation Rentals

Little disappointed with our stay. Location great. Unit spacious and conveniently located to the pool. Considering what we payed for this unit we expected a few extras such as control of the AC, at least an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. TV's not synchronized to the available listing. Bed in master super uncomfortable.
Easy check in. Gated at front entrance. Simple walk to beach. Very quiet and comfortable and very safe place to stsy.Condo was so nice. Beautifully decorated and clean. Right out backdoor you have a screened in back porch with view of pool and water fountain on the side.Inside, lots of room with fully stocked kitchen. Master bedroom was huge with king size bed, desk, sitting chair, dresser with TV. I have back problems and bed was perfect.You will love the large shower. Amazing.Other bedroom with 2 beds and another bathroom.Front load washer and dryer.I was very impressed and so glad we stayed here.

Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! ~Forever Vacation Rentals
We had everything we needed to enjoy our week in Miramar Beach. The Hidden Gem was comfortable & beautifully decorated.
The AC worked great and kept the cottage feeling cool our entire stay, the beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of extra cozy blankets and pillows in each bedroom closet.
The washer and dryer made it easy to keep our beach towels fresh & clean daily and we are returning back home with hardly any laundry.
Our family enjoyed the Amazon Alexa in the kitchen to play music while we were cooking and spending time together inside the cottage. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed to make all of our meals. I cannot think of a single thing that could be added to the kitchen. There was a standard coffee maker, a new crock pot, a blender that works great, 4 slice toaster with multiple settings, fridge and freezer with an ice maker.
*Things to bring for kitchen: dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, salt and pepper, non stick cooking spray.
The master bedroom is huge and could accommodate an air mattress or travel crib.
The second bedroom was perfect for our 10 and 12 year old. They said the beds were comfortable and they enjoyed having their own TV.
The open living room & dining room area was a great place to gather with our friends.
We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the screened in porch while our kids loved sitting at the bar and being served through the sliding window from the kitchen.
The pool and hot tub were very clean and a nice place to start and finish our day.
