If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, 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!

Very close to the beach and walking distance to a bar. Came with washer, dryer and coffee maker basically everything you’d need to call it a home for a week

The condo was very homey. The pool was great for night swims and the private beach access was just steps away. The host checked in regularly through texts to make sure our stay was pleasant. Would definitely rent this condo again.

the location was awesome, the condo was perfect for the 6 of us. Plenty of room and space. everything worked as it should. I do recommend a few things. the furniture downstairs need replaced or cleaned. they kitchen table cushions were very stained and grimy. our feet stayed black from the floors, the two chairs at bar table , were cushions have been wet are stained and mildew underneath cushions. baseboards, especially in king bathroom was caked with dust and dirt. the beds were very comfortable and location was awesome.

It was a pleasant experience and the place was truly comfortable. Only one personal observation and that is to provide an Airfryer could make the experience even more comfortable and practical. Thank you very much

Awesome Place!
The location was spectacular! 1 min walk to the beach. Restaurants and things to do still close. Price was excellent for 3 nights right across from the beach. The staff was very responsive by text which was so helpful. Place was clean and extra towels for a family of 5. Pool was close for the kids, can park your car right in front, easy loading. Extra fan because the A/C didn't cool enough in the heat. Small view of the beach from the balconies! Overall, will definitely come back and stay. The A/C didn't cool the place enough on a 78° day. The stove was hard to cook on because the electric pads didn't change based on the dial. The king bed is old so it makes a lot of creaking noises. The shower head sprays everywhere and needs to be replaced.

Overall very good. Our main bedroom confort bed cover was not clean, so we washed it and it was perfect then.
We had been in this complex 4 times with this visit. Love the location and the units are very comfortable Needs more maintenance. Roof looks like have water damage. Some repairs done, but badly repaired.

The kitchen was completely stocked with more than you could expect. The area is beautiful. The pool was nice. Love the 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms. 2 balconies for sunrise and sunset were also a plus. Very short walk to the beach. Close proximity to nearly anything you could want.
