What You Will Love About Snowdrift
Snowdrift is a beautifully remodeled beachfront cottage that captures the heart of coastal living with its bright interiors, modern updates, and breathtaking Gulf views. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and invites you to unwind in style. The open-concept living area features shiplap ceilings, hardwood floors, and whitewashed walls that reflect the sunlight dancing off the water. A plush sofa and accent chairs provide the perfect spot for movie nights, while the adjacent dining area and fully equipped kitchen—with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and sea-glass cabinetry—make gathering effortless. The Primary suite offers a king bed and a serene, spa-like ensuite, while the guest room includes a cozy queen bed, and the bunk room delights younger guests with built-in twin bunks and a private TV. Each bathroom showcases custom tilework and modern coastal finishes for a touch of luxury.
Step outside to the expansive wraparound deck overlooking the shoreline, where ample seating, a dining table for four, and a pull up bar for four create the ideal setting for morning coffee or sunset dinners. Private stairs delivers your toes to the sand in seconds, while an outdoor shower makes post-beach cleanup a breeze.
What You Will Love About Miramar Beach
Snowdrift enjoys a prime location near Scenic Gulf Drive, offering the perfect balance of peace and proximity. You’ll be just minutes from beloved beachfront restaurants like Pompano Joe’s and The Whale’s Tail, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and live music with Gulf views.

What You Will Love About the Emerald Coast
The soft sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters of the Emerald Coast set the scene for an unforgettable getaway.

The house has a lot of charm and you can see the love in some areas with more wear on the floors and cabinets. We would def rebook and recommend!

Sweet little property sitting right on Miramar Beach. Saw dolphins nearly every day and even a wedding. LR furniture a bit uncomfortable but everything else was great.

House has great views of the beach and of course easy access as you are directly on the beach.
House is in a gated community and even though there is a public beach access right by the house, it's just for the surrounding community, not the general public.

Great house and so convenient to eating, Shopping and just steps from the beach!!! My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses and fix the smell in the clothes washer.

From rental process (check in and check out) the process was easy. We even received reminders the evening before the 2 garbage pickups! The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of nice bath towels (unusual!!). Highly recommend this property and Ocean Reef (mgmt co.)

This is a beautiful house in a great location! The views are amazing from this house.
We loved the decor of this house. All of the bathrooms and kitchen were recently updated (they looked even better than the pictures on the website). Ocean Reef management was very responsive when we requested a Keurig coffee machine - a brand new machine was delivered the very next morning. They also attended to our repair request to fix a leak in the bathroom.

Needed a beach rental with everything on one level and this checked all the boxes. Check-in was a little confusing as it is automated and my separate rental agreement hadn’t gone thru. The included beach service could’ve been communicated better also. Small complaints for an otherwise throughly enjoyable week long stay. Would definitely stay again. Left behind a few extra rolls of tp for the next group.

We enjoyed our stay, house was great, could of used a sleeper
sofa in the den. The room with the bunks is a little cramped for 4 people. The view is fabulous and so nice not to have to drag things down to beach when it is at your back door. The access to the neighborhood is a pain, because of the traffic light and traffic back-up. Other than that, wish we could of stayed for a month.

Amazing Views
We fell in love with this property based on the VRBO listing. It was incredibly gorgeous. We were not disappointed when we saw it with our own eyes. They property was equipped with everything we needed with the exception of toilet paper. There were 2 rolls for the entire stay, not to mention very cheap, small rolls. I know this may sound petty but we've never stayed in a VRBO where this was an issue. I called the management company and they told me they just provide 2 rolls so that guests can have a chance to buy their own. That is lame! This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rental house. A guest shouldn't have to run out and buy toilet paper for the price of this rental. That is ridiculous!

A few issues-not resolved by Ocean Reef
We had several issues and I reported these issues on the third day of our 8 day stay and I was told they could not help me because I reported it at the end of my stay. The third day of out 8 day stay is not the end of my stay. 1. odor I had to track down for 3 days and finally found was mold growing on the lid of the trash can.2. unclean guest bathroom3. deck lights did not work, concerned us about being outside with the grill in the dark at night.4. one sliding door would not lock.5. dust and mold on bathroom wallNone of these issues were solved by Ocean Reef and I was not compensated for any of these problems. I was told I reported it at the end of my stay was their reason. The first day of our stay we arrived at 11pm due to a flight delay, so technically I reported it on our 2nd day of our 8 day stay.

We love staying directly on the beach where we can see those in our party on the beach from the house. It’s plus when the house is simple awesome. Great place.
