The house was clean, and the location was excellent. It was just a short walk to the beach, and the pool was very nice. The only minor downside was that the community BBQ area was a bit of a walk from the house. Overall, our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed both the home and its convenient location. We would definitely consider staying here again.

I’ve stayed in Miramar a lot and this was one of my favorites. Stayed 4 nights with 2 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of room! Excellent location! Water heater could stand to be a bit larger but a cool shower after a day at the beach makes sense too! Will definitely be back!

This place was amazing. Easy quick walk to the beach and a very nice pool. Easy 15 minute drive from most of the popular restaurants and grocery stores. Very nice and comfortable rooms/furniture. Hosts were very polite and responsive. Only recommendation would be to bring a collapsable cart for the beach. Made our walks so easy. Everything else was great!

I would definitely stay here again, however there are a few things you should now. 1. The private beach access is very convenient, however I was never informed that Tents were not allowed. We had a tent and had to leave after I was told they were not allowed. 2. There is not a ramp for strollers. 3. The public beach access is close enough to walk to it. 5 - 7 minutes walk from the street, there you can have a tent and ramp for the stroller. In general we had a great experience. We enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to anyone.

Property was as described. Private beach access was nice, as was community pool. There were a lot of families staying, so lots of kids in the pool and hot tub. When we realized we only had one dish towel, a text to the property manager was all we needed and we had three delivered within 10 minutes. My brother said the AC didnt work, but it wasnt too hot that we NEEDED it. Just opened some windows. Would stay again!

First time in Destin, FL. This was a nice cottage retreat within walking distance to the beach! Cottages are in a gated community, we felt safe at all times, and the cottage was very clean when we arrived. The only downside was, the refrigerator is not cooling very well and there are no smart TV's in any of the rooms. Other than that, we still give it 5 Stars! Highly recommended! Would definitely stay here again!

We own vaca properties/rentals ourselves (since ‘09: Fl beach 2/2 condo & NC mntn lake 3/3.5 home)- so we look w/critical assessment - and updated our own, that we purchased furnished- then updated. Our stay was great; we enjoyed the home & amenities. Great management co. Our primary suggestions are: 1) Add black out blinds on upper and lower East bedrooms- would save on energy bill and keep rooms darker & cooler with morning sun. Tops prior 2) Needs new/coastal theme furniture/beddings in bedrooms and armoire/tables in living/dining rooms! Such a beautiful home and cul de sac and the furnishings don’t compliment this! They are comfortable and sturdy- but take away from the “setting” New smart TV’s in bedrooms also. And definitely the area rug in dining and lower bath look very tired and worn- do not look clean. Aside- The last 2 nights there was a loud Mexican fiesta party off prop, but right behind the prop fence by us- went on loudly into early am F Sat nights and on Sat am.
