Privacy is paramount, with guest bedrooms discreetly tucked away on the opposite side of the residence. The transition to gas heating, featuring a fireplace, stove, dryer, and an outdoor grill and pool heater (with an additional cost for pool heat at $325 + tax/reservation), introduces a modern touch to enhance your stay.
Modern conveniences abound, with Smart TVs in all bedrooms and the pool area.

We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback, particularly about the cleanliness, with our dedicated cleaning crew, as they work very hard to maintain the highest standards. We hope you made plenty of warm memories and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The kids loved the pool, and the golf cart was very nice to have! The place was very clean when we arrived. The extra mattresses in the master closet were nice, so kids didn’t have to share a bed. It was also great to have an extra fridge in the garage for drinks and stuff. Would definitely stay here again!!
Clean house in a nice quiet gated community and a short golf ride to the beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us. If you ever require additional blankets or linens, please contact our office. Someone from our team would be more than happy to provide them for you!
House was clean and nicely decorated. Bonus golf cart included. Unfortunaly, the beds were very uncomfortable and for someone who doesn’t subscribe to all the tv streaming apps made it hard to view cable.
The house was exactly as described. Very clean, so close to the beach. The property exceeded our expectations.

This house was perfect for our family of 7. It was in a great location and had awesome accommodations. The private pool was utilized daily and came in handy for the rainy days. Though we didn't use the golf cart as much (weather wasn't that great), it was very close to the beach access and nearby restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
My husband and I enjoyed our time in Destin. We’ve stayed in the Destiny East neighborhood several times before but we loved this house the best. It was super clean, had everything we needed, and, when we had a minor issue with one of the tvs, the property management sent someone to fix it within a few hours. The house is beautiful and pool was perfect. Lots of privacy around the pool which we appreciated. Golf cart worked great and location is super close to the beach. We would definitely return to this property.

Very nice house, clean, great location. The golf cart was very useful and fun. It was a little cold during our stay so paying for the pool heater was definitely worth it. The kitchen did have all the necessary equipment but nothing else, not even salt or pepper. Definitely felt like vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
This is our third time renting a home in Miramar Beach. The home was a perfect size for our family of five. The kids absolutely loved being able to take a morning dip or a nighttime swim in the pool. I wish it was a little closer to the beach or had private access to the beach. But we were always able to find a parking spot by crab trap and loaded up the golf cart. The community pool was very nice and not crowded at all. I do wish there was a bigger coffee pot since I am not a fan of KEURIG coffee. Renting a home that comes with a golf cart is a nice touch because we literally take the golf cart everywhere. I did see another review that the front bedroom of the home is hot, and we did notice that. The management company was very easy to deal with and very attentive and responsive to all questions.
This overall was a great stay. I found it interesting that we are asked to deal with trash, yet no extra trash bags, 😂
A notebook with instructions on how things in the house would be helpful.
We suspect there was too much chlorine in the pool. My swimsuit faded. While we paid for a heated pool, I recommend a thermometer to see if it was really 82 degrees.
This is a beautiful home & is so nice you really enjoy just hanging around there.
Close to beach & the golf cart was great.
The stay was great. But we were charged for someone else parking their Porsche on our grass while we were away at the water park. We only brought our vehicle. Instead of contacting us, they sent an email stating we were charged $50 on our card. When I reached out, I was informed I would have to wait on the appeal to go through the HOA. Oh and that would take a week! Poor business practices. We won’t book with them again.

This was a really nice house lots of space, I was a little disappointed that it was not as close to the beach as I thought it would be. We had to drive a little bit to get to the public side of the beach. I dont think we had private beach access. If we did we were never told. I did had trouble getting in the house the first day our code was not working had to call customer service but they were able to help me pretty fast. One thing I did not like is that someone kept going in the garage to remove the trash bins and to place them back inside. I thought that was kind of weird that someone had access to the house while people in it. other than that the house itself was really nice.
