Location was ideal. House was well-appointed and had a high level of finishes. Nice, quiet end of the beach with spectacular views and sunsets. The rental company was responsive when we encountered small issues. Overall, the house is elegant, sleek, and an ideal vacation spot. The elevator was essential for one member of our party and made all the difference.

Great place
Very lovely property. Very well stocked and clean. Very impressed! However, we had a few issues that were frustrating. We followed the guidelines and kept all three floors thermostat on 72. The 3rd floor never got above 66. People were miserable up there. We were given additional blankets. The dishwasher is useless. We rinsed everything and dishes still came out dirty. It's a weird style that can only run top or bottom at a time so used double the dishwasher pods. With 16 people we were running it constantly. All the nonstick pans were damaged and should not be used. When we pulled out the griddle it had been put away dirty and was really caked with food.
We have rented many vacation homes, even others in Miramar beach. The 9a check-out and 5p check-in is ridiculous. (even our Lyft driver said he never heard of this.) And to be honest, some of the language in the rental contract is a bit off-putting. According to the contract, if the rental is available earlier than 5p, then you can PAY $50 to enter one hour earlier (at 4p). BUT, if they are running late and the unit is not available at 5p, then the renter needs to be "patient". I texted a question and instead of an answer, was sent a link to the guidelines (which I had read carefully and did not have the answer to my question). We don't think we would do another rental with Breathe Easy. Individual owners are so much more flexible and accommodating.
Everything else was great and we had a wonderful week with family.

EXCELLENT!!
Would definitely book again! The house worked perfectly for our large group of 21. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you’d need to cook for a large group. The location is great as it’s close to a grocery store and restaurants.
The best part was the view and beach! Oh and the beach access right out the back door! One of the nicest beaches we’ve visited. It was a bonus to have beach service daily that includes 4 chairs and two umbrellas. There were additional chairs in the house that we used daily. One of our favorite things about the house was the deck with table and chairs. Each morning, we had coffee watching the sunrise over the ocean. A bonus - we saw dolphins each morning!
Communication with property management was excellent and very responsive!
The only thing that we wished was different is the late check-in time and early check-out. It was a little stressful getting a group of 21 out the door by 9am but we managed! :)
We are already considering a second trip!! We had the best time!

Beautiful house with plenty of room for our family of 20. Response to any issues and questions was Immediate and taken care of quickly . Having two full size refrigerators was huge.

Family Beach Fun
This was a lovely beach property for a family vacation including 10 adults and 10 children under the age of 7yrs. The home has great amenities and accommodations for all. The open kitchen is well equipped for large meal prep and service with ocean views. The grill was used for salmon and grouper dinners. We all slept comfortably. The beach access was great for our crew and the property manager and owner were responsive to ensure that the pool heater was functioning properly during our stay. We had the best time and made many happy memories!

February Birthday Celebrations
The house location was perfect and close to everything. The house itself was in very good shape, there were some spots of water damage on the outside but nothing the hindered our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and updated. There were two complaints about the mattresses in each bedroom on either side of the laundry room, they were said to be hard and slightly uncomfortable. The kitchen was phenomenal, all of the pots/pans/bowls/etc that you could need. The front load washer and dryer were quiet and work like a dream. The elevator was extremely helpful, as we did have older (70+) family members use it. The extra fridge came in handy and the circulating fans in rooms was a nice touch.

Can't beat it!
For our family of 13 this was the perfect place! So many great features its hard to name. Most important: the home is right on the beach! No crossing roads or making certain to haul everything in one trip. We utilized the chairs that were already set up on the beach so getting everyone to the beach was simple. Can't begin to explain how important so many bathrooms are with 13 people! The home itself is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal as well as prepare sandwiches. The property is located near shopping, grocery stores and lots of restaurants. The management team is great! They checked in to make certain we had everything we needed and to answer any questions during our stay. overall this was a wonderful experience and I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again.
