Tremendous time
The owners were very gracious with every aspect of information and timing. Everything was exactly as described and our family of 14 had a tremendous time.
We love our stay. The house is stunning and clean. Having the beach wagon and gear ready to go saved us so much hassle. We played pickleball all morning and loved chilling on the balconies at night. Everything is nearby. Super smooth stay, 100% recommend!

We had the absolute best trip! The house was spotless, which gave this mama major peace of mind. The kids were totally obsessed with the arcade, and that quick stroll to the beach was a lifesaver. Kate was so sweet and quick to text back. We’ll be back!

Beautiful home
I cannot say enough great things about this home and the host. It could not have been more perfect! We will definitely be back and will stay in the same beautiful home. Thank you, Kate, for everything!!
We had an amazing stay at this Destin home. The house was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location made everything easy—beach access, restaurants, and activities were all close by. The host was responsive and made the whole process smooth. Our family had a great time and would happily stay here again.
Kate responded quickly to assist us with anything we needed. The house was well equipped with everything necessary for a perfect stay and more. It was so cozy and inviting. We also thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood. It was safe, everyone was friendly, and it was walking distance to some great spots! We were sad we had to leave!

Great
We loved our stay at this Miramar Beach home. The 5-bedroom layout easily accommodated our large group with plenty of privacy. Location: An easy 7-minute walk to the beach, with a free seasonal tram that was a lifesaver for gear. Amenities: The kids loved the head-to-head arcade, and being right next to the heated pool and pickleball courts was a huge plus. Quality: Spotlessly clean, newly renovated, and a fully stocked kitchen. Service: Great communication and helpful discounts on golf carts and bikes. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a modern, fun, and convenient beach getaway. We'll be back!

A Perfect Stay
We had a wonderful time here! The house was beautiful, spacious and well-equipped. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the interior, and it really added to the overall experience. The beach was a quick walk away, and we don't have to worry about beach access. The location was also super convenient with lots of great spots to eat and shop nearby.

Great time at the beach!
We had a terrific time at Miramar and our stay at La Sonadora. The house was perfectly clean and well-stocked with everything we needed, including a great assortment of beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas. We were happy, too, to utilize the tram to get to the beach; however, the walk was not bad, either. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

About the host
Hosted by lchouserentals
I have a great interest in interior decor and travelling. Hosting a vacation rental means I can do both yay! I purchased this house in 2022 and put my heart and soul in renovating it without any help from professional designers or decorators. I think money may or may not bring joy; however, travel definitely makes us happier. It gives us an opportunity to step outside our well-worn, self-constructed realities and provides a platform to explore ourselves - who we might be when we are not anxious about safety, security and status. Being in the travel business make me feel like I am a life improver. I am happy when my guests are happy. That is why I am working very hard to make your experiences of La Sonadora pleasant and unforgettable.
