Sunshine Daydream is in a great location, great view of the Gulf of America, and very welcoming and cozy place to stay. Private beach is just a short stroll across old Hwy 98 (Scenic Gulf Drive). The hosts were great, super responsive and the whole experience was very low stress and a great weekend getaway for me and my spouse. I would definitely recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
Thanks for the compliments! I truly enjoy interacting with my guests and making sure their stay is as wonderful as possible. We try to keep our condo current and recently installed recessed lighting in the kitchen and both bathrooms, replaced the long panel blinds with curtains, replaced our queen sleeper sofa, and replaced our master bedroom furniture. We're so thankful to be in such a fantastic property as Surfside that meets everyone's needs! Come join us!

This was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed! The condo is beautifully updated and furnished and is so well-equipped. The beds were very comfortable and having 2 queens in the 2nd bedroom is a big plus! The master suite is so spacious. The kitchen has everything you need including a magic bullet, k-cup and regular coffee maker, spices/seasonings and nice pans and dishes. The living room furniture is newer and very comfortable. The balcony is amazing with a table and chairs plus 2 loungers and provides a great view. We loved having the free beach service (2 lounge chairs and an umbrella) so we didn’t have to haul those to the beach. The location is super convenient for the beach, restaurants, and shopping. John and Patti are the most incredible hosts! They were communicative after I booked and reached out before our trip to offer suggestions and answer questions. They also checked in during our stay just to make sure everything was going smoothly! Literally the best hosts I’ve ever worked with for a rental. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again if we come back to Miramar Beach!

Beautiful Destin

Surfside is a great place to stay on Miramar Beach. It has easy access to lots of activities in the area. The unit we rented had a great view of the ocean and was very quiet at night. We enjoyed siting on the balcony in the A.M. and P.M. Sun in the morning and shade in the late afternoon/evening. Thank you our relaxing vacation.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
Thanks for your review and it sounds like you had a good week in our unit at Surfside. II know the weather wasn't great the first few days but it did finally improve. I'm actually surprised and disappointed at a rating of 3 out of 5 as we have consistently received 5 star reviews for 11 years but if there are specific things we can do to improve your stay should you choose to come back again, please let me know!

Fantastic Destin(ation)

Stayed at this Surfside 12th floor condo over Spring Break 2011. Unit has fantastic view of the gulf from large comfortable patio. Great location with deck pool and easy access to beachfront.. Clean, nicely furnished condo in a quieter area east of Destin yet a short drive to family fun activites, watersports, and fine restaurants. The Owners, Surfside staff, fellow visitors, and residents were very friendly and helpful. This condo met all of our expectations and we would highly recommend it.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
It's so nice to hear that our guests love our condo and Surfside as much as we do! The huge balcony and fantastic view of the Gulf were two of the main reasons we bought this 12th floor unit. It's fun to go into Destin but always great to come back and relax at the beach, pool or on our balcony!

Great Vacation - Well Furnished Condo

We’ve stayed here several times and love it. Great view of the ocean and the pool. We love the free umbrella/beach chairs and the kids love how the pool is always kept warm. The beach and pool access are both easy. The condo is very well furnished and has everything we needed. The little things like the blender, waffle maker, plenty of cookware are very appreciated. We have a family of 5 so the sleeper sofa gives us plenty of space. We always have a wonderful stay. We will continue coming back for a great family week.

Fall Break at the Beach

I reserved this property one year in advance specifically for the handicap accommodations available. My husband is confined to a wheelchair and he was able to move from room to room without any issues. The roll in shower and bathroom sink made our stay so comfortable. There were even portable ramps to the balcony that enabled him to easly access the views of the beach with the family. We will rent this condo again!

GREAT condo and GREAT OWNERS!!

We had a great time during our stay! The condo was clean and bright, and we were happy to see that the condo had alot of kitchen appliances and small items that we didn't have to buy. It made it feel more like a home away from home, and the pictures of the unit on the website were exactly what we saw when we arrived. I had no trouble in getting into contact with Suzanne about any questions or planning, which was very convenient and reassuring to know that the person renting us the condo was honest and interested in helping us anyway she could. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Destin and will recommend this condo to others!

Fantastic Condo!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at this property. The unit is comfortable and beautifully decorated with a stunning view of the gulf. We loved the location, with the beach just across the street and many restaurants and activities only minutes away. We also took advantage of the restaurant located on site. The sushi bar was great. The unit is well equipped and provided us with everything we needed. We also enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrella provided daily by the property. Also, Chris, the property owner was very nice and helpful when we contacted him with a general question. We travel to the gulf every summer and look forward to staying here again when we come back.
