About the host
Hosted by Sean Johnson
We fell in love with the emerald coast while vacationing here and knew we had to carve out a slice of this coastal paradise for our family. We're passionate about thoughtful design, comfort, and creating spaces that bring people together. We stay here as often as we can and are excited to share it with guests who’ll treat it like their own home away from home.
Why they chose this property
Shipwatch is a private, gated community with a rare private stretch of deeded beach access. We love how peaceful yet connected it is—walking or golf cart distance to amazing restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and everything you need. It’s the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience in the heart of Miramar Beach, right on the edge of Sandestin and Santa Rosa beach.
What makes this property unique
We designed this home to feel like our personal beach retreat—not just another rental. Every detail was curated for comfort, function, and luxury style. From the open-concept living space to the cozy bedrooms and breezy outdoor areas, it’s a place where memories are made. It’s family-friendly, elegant, and full of charm.
