Welcome to Aloha Cottage, a stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat just moments away from the powdery sands of Miramar Beach, nestled within Windancer Resort. Relax in your own oasis with a glistening private pool nestled in the enclosed backyard – a temptation that might keep you indoors! The first floor features a cozy living room with a sleeper sofa, a well-equipped kitchen, and two bedrooms: one furnished with a king-sized bed and the other with a Twin/Double Trundle, sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom. On the second floor, the king master suite awaits, complete with a walk-in shower. This charming cottage comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. Unwind by the pool or savor morning coffee on the covered front porch while embracing the refreshing sea breezes. Positioned ideally, you'll find yourself close to popular beachfront dining spots and just across Hwy 98 from the Silver Sands Outlet Mall. Whether lounging on the beach all day or basking in the sun at your private pool, Aloha Cottage at Windancer Resort promises to be the cornerstone of your future beach vacation traditions.

Windancer is a private community in the heart of Miramar Beach. It features a 4-story Beach Front condominium and a handful of cottages with private pools. Located on the east end of Scenic Gulf Drive, Windancer is close to many favorite local eateries and just a couple blocks from Silver Sands Outlet Mall. Take a refreshing dip in the seasonally heated, Gulf Front community pool, step down the boardwalk to the beach, and grill up a feast at the Gulf Front BBQ area. Come check out this beachfront complex and see why you’ll be vacationing here year after year!

Area Attractions: 

Aloha Cottage is located close to the Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s largest designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name-brand designer stores. Also close by is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop-up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe.

Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to SanDestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers everything from Fusion Art Glass Gallery to Brooks Brothers Country Club. Several boutiques, such as Hello, Sunshine, and Magnolia House, carry fare you can't find anywhere else. Dining options include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, and Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food. In 2013, Walton County’s first movie theater opened at Grand Boulevard’s Town Center – the state-of-the-art Boulevard 10 Movie Theater.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, which was deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great place to stay. It’s beautiful views around and the beach is walking distance. Also there’s a souvenir store right behind the street of the home. Also chick fil a and Starbucks across the street. The house also has and extra bunk bed that’s not pictured. It does have a blow drier I thought it didn’t have one so I took mine. The pool was perfect for us and it has so many sand toys and items to take to the beach. It has a charcoal grill. I recommend.

My group enjoyed this home for our week stay in Florida! The pool was the perfect addition, we paid to add it heated. It was pretty dark outside at night but they were able to fix the pool light a couple days later. This place is super close to the beach and came with a wagon to carry your items! Would recommend!

The best location for a family of 4 with 2 kids. Beach is very close to the cottage-an easy, flat 5 min walk if that. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. The beds were all comfortable , the kitchen plenty of space to meal prep, and the pool was amazing.

We stayed at Aloha Cottage. It was a great property. Having a private pool was a plus. Real Joy was very responsive to all our needs. They unexpectedly got us a new blender as the original was broken. They cleaned the pool when the landscapers cut the grass into the pool. Additionally since it was in the windancer property we got free reservations for umbrella and chairs on the beach. All in all we will definitely book with them again.
