The host is very nice and the condo is super cute! We loved the use of beach items and how close it is to the beach. The condo was very spacious which was nice and we loved that we could bring our dog. Pool was small and crowded but to be expected during summer time. Only cons were the ice maker not working but host offered to call and help and the back door was really hard to open and close.

This condo was the perfect size for our group and beach access was great. The only problem that we had is that the bed in the master is ROCK HARD. We will definately rent again if the mattress is replaced with something more comfortable.

Awesome, relaxing, perfect getaway

I absolutely loved my stay here. The condo had everything we needed. The pool was close by, and almost never busy. The ocean walk wasn't bad at all. I've stayed on the beach and had to walk farther. It was an easy walk to the beach. I will definitely book this again. Kids bedroom was so cool. Our master-sweet was perfect.

Fantastic condo!

We enjoyed our stay at La Vida Loca so much. This was our family’s 1st trip to this area of Florida. Bunk room was perfect for our 3 boys. The cleanest condo we’ve ever stayed in. Decor is updated and so nice. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location to the pool and beach access was fantastic. We enjoyed being able to walk to local restaurants and shops. Wonderful communication with the owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Christmas stay

My spouse and the pups stayed for a week over Christmas. We were thankful they allowed pets! The place was clean, it had all the basics and checkin/out was easy. Location was easy to get to the beach and within walking to the boardwalk and restaurant. The pool and hot tub were close to room.Only drawback for some might be the lack of a view. It was fine for us as we had the pups and it was easy to take them out with it being ground floor.

Excellent Miramar Beach stay

Miramar beach was amazing. The condo was awesome. Super clean and had everything we needed including beach chairs and things for the kids. We added 2 umbrellas for the next guests. The owners were great and accommodating. They communicated perfectly through our whole stay. I will definitely be contacting them again for future stays. Five stars.

My family was super impressed with the cleanliness and layout of the condo. Definitely looking forward to staying again in this condo. Why look somewhere else!

Spring Break 2025

We recently stayed at this condo during our spring break. The area and location itself was really good except my husband is in a wheelchair and it was not very accessible for him to go to the beach. Everything has steps and stairs so we had to drive down to the public beach area for a wheelchair access Which is not walking distance.. although entering the condo, it was successful for my husband the shower was difficult for him to get into in the master bed was very high so we ended up staying in the second bedroom.Property management was easy to contact, but our overall stay was not very good due to the difficulty for my husband.
