We loved our stay! Everything about this property fit our needs. It is a short walk to the beach, the chair/umbrella service was set up every day, and the pool was perfect for late afternoon enjoyment. We loved every moment and made lots of memories! We would highly recommend this property!

In town for wedding
We enjoyed our stay in Miramar Beach. This cottage is very nice, perfect for small family. It was within walking distance to restaurants, grocery and the beach. Beach access was perfect, our favorite perk of this rental was the 2 beach chairs and umbrella available to us on the beach each day. We used the pool 1 day, but it was small and would rather go to the beach. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans. The bed in master was very comfortable. Would love to visit Miramar Beach again!!!

Not good
We did not stay, the house was filthy. The master bed had a top sheet over the plastic mattress cover and that was disgustingly stained.
The owner refunded most of our money, but we were unable to stay due to the cleanliness. Dust an inch

We vacationed as a family with our 5 year grandson and 2 dachshunds. It was perfect for us.
The backyard was great for our dogs. Kitchen has everything we needed to cook and bake. We enjoyed the walk to the beach also. The plus was a swimming pool at the home. Thank you we loved our stay

Average to Good overall
The owners were great about communication. To no fault of theirs...it was college spring break time so was a VERY BUSY and loud area. With that being said, the location was very good for a short 5-10 minute walk to beach. (Hollywood St entrance) The cottage was very cute; however, it was not very clean. Dust, food crumbs on mats in kitchen and bathroom vanities/mirrors werent cleaned well. The cottage had most of what we needed for week stay. Liked that each room had own tv etc. Winn Dixie grocery store 2 mikes aelway, which we used quite a bit. We enjoyed hanging out by splash pool. Pool was on the cold side so kids used sparingly.
Was nice to have laundry on site so could go home with clean clothes. The owners are very good to work with and they are addressing the cleaning issue. 😀

Summer Vacation
This was by far the best rental we have stayed at while on our yearly vacation. Only thing I wish we had was a golf cart. But you can’t beat the price for location and private pool overall this was a great choice and I will try and book this home again next summer.

Family get away!
When we made our reservations, we didn’t have our plane reservations, because it was to far out to make them. When we did make our airline reservations we needed 2 more days added on Chris and Penny did not hesitate to give them to us. The pool is so kid friendly and the back patio was absolutely inviting. All the seating area and privacy was great. The beach is 2 1/2 blocks away and so is Dairy Queen, we did have a Ice Cream truck that came by every night. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Great place!
Had a great time with our family plus pup. Nice size for us. Cute backyard. We ate outside almost every meal. The pool was small but adequate for our needs. Walk to the beach wasn’t bad. I will say if you have elderly family members the stairs to the beach are a bit steep. All in all a great location for walking to shops and the beach.

Pet friendly vacation
Great place to stay if you want to bring your pets, with 2 notations. Floors are slippery so some dogs may slip & slide. It’s nice to have an outside yard, but plan on staying outside with your animal to make sure he can’t find a way to escape. The host has gone above & beyond to make sure your every need has been met. We will be back next year!

We absolutely loved it! It felt like home away from home. It was close to the beach. The pool was great and the fenced in back yard was great for the dogs! We were a bike ride to one of our favorite places to eat (Pompano Joes). The owners were very nice and responded quickly to any questions. It rained a lot, but that's ok, we love being at the ocean! We will hopefully stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home by the sea!

Fabulous!
Late review, sorry! We stayed at this wonderful property earlier this year for two weeks. 4 adults and 2 dogs. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the dogs, the space inside is gorgeous, pristine and updated. The location is also fabulous, we took walks every single day through the lovely neighborhood. I would not change a thing! We loved the property so much we are booking the same two weeks again next year!!
