This house was wonderful for our stay. It was exactly as described, even closer than we thought to the beach, and the communication with the property management was excellent. Our whole trip was wonderful and I’d definitely stay here again.

Great week away!

All was great! House was even better than pictured online. Only issue was the upstairs hall toilet seat. It Kept loosening and we continued to fix it. Could have said something to manager, and I am sure she would have sent someone to fix it. But it didn’t bother us at all. Our stay was great and house was comfortable. Walking distance to beach and restaurants.

Wonderful property, close to the beach but was private also. I would recommend this property.

Kathy was very nice and welcoming, the house was clean and loved the area. The main living area is on the second floor, something to consider if stairs are a difficulty. I would love to stay here again.

Great location for a girls getaway

My friends and I had a reunion in Miramar Beach, and this we the perfect house for the 7 of us. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, and the kitchen met our needs for breakfasts and lunches. The location was great for walking or driving a short distance to some local restaurants for dinner, and the beach service was a nice bonus. I would totally stay there again.

Outstanding location

Our family enjoyed the neighborhood feel to the community. It was quiet and secure. The house provided us plenty of space and bathrooms. It was helpful to have the foyer downstairs to unload from a day at the beach. The pool was a nice addition to activities.

Stayed here for Mother’s Day. Brought my whole family. My husband and I both brought our mothers. The space was perfect for our family. It was cozy and felt like home. Nice and convenient location to everything we needed, the beach, shopping, and food. Had so much fun we are already planning our next trip!

Property was clean and accommodating for our family.

This community is our home away from home. This was our 4th home within cottage retreat that we have stayed at. The house had all the amenities that you need to relax and enjoy vacation. The only thing that took adjustment was a reverse floor plan with the kitchen on the upstairs.
