Rose Cottage... A unique, cozy, three bedroom, two and a half bath home located one block from the beach on a street that has direct gulf access (no streets to cross) and walking distance to Silver Sands Outlet Mall. Actually, the location is perfect; right across the street is Skipper’s which features the best steamed shrimp and locally caught fresh fish daily, Winn-Dixie a full service grocery, Cash’s for the evening cocktail supplies, a TCBY for the ice cream snack, a cleaners, shoe repair, etc. On the beach, you can experience Parasailing, rent a catamaran or just do nothing…
Then, for evening entertainment, you are only one mile from Sandestin and The Village of Baytowne Wharf which comes alive with family activities and nightlife. The Events Plaza is a-buzz with live music and a series of events, concerts and entertainment year around as well as many nightclubs. The area also includes many fabulous indoor and open air restaurants.
As a designer, my home features custom moldings; hand carved Italian lighting, and a unique star chandelier in the stairway. All the cabinetry is glazed maple with granite countertops.
In addition, you can enjoy a private courtyard area with a jasmine covered pergola. Dine under the pergola or just relax. As an avid gardener, my home also features many varieties of tropical plants. Jasmine covers the front columns and pergola and red roses cover the white picket fence and bloom for many weeks during the summer.

Why the Owner Chose Miramar Beach
I built my home in 2001 and have loved sharing it with friends, family and guests... I take great pride in the furnishing and actually did all the detailed trim carpentry. Love the location as it is not as conjested as Destin and is close to Sandestin amenities...
The Unique Benefits at this House
Great location and close to some of the best restaurants in Destin area... Only steps away from the beach and I personally like privacy, so my home features a 6' high fence around a tropical garden area.

Wonderful vacation experience!

My family had a wonderful time renting this home! It is furnished very nicely and the kitchen has EVERYTHING you could image needing. How many rentals have nice china and REAL wine glasses? The location was so convenient! When they said it was close to the beach they weren't kidding. My kids lived on the beach and with a family of five people, not everyone wanted to come and go at the same time. Because the house was so close and the area very safe, we felt comfortable letting our kids walk back and forth from the house to the beach. Additionally, less than a 1/2 block in the other direction was the grocery store (Winn Dixie) and TCBY and Dollar General. So walking to the store and not having to drive was a plus. Shopping and restaurants were in abundance. Finally, this property was located near SanDestin and the area tended to be more upscale and less congested than properties closed inside of Destin. The home is managed by the personal owner and you can tell the difference from other properties that are managed corporately. Dealing with the owner was comforting. We've already told our friends about this home and how key it was to making our vacation enjoyable. We had zero complaints.....except for having to leave and come home!

Our family of 6 adults and 1 two year old loved staying at this house.The neighborhood is nice and quiet. It is great being able to walk to the beach. There is plenty of shopping very near by. We even walked to Dollar General and Winn Dixie a few times. The kitchen has everything a chef needs to cook with.The bathrooms and bedrooms are very nice, and well stocked with linens. The open floor plan of the main floor makes it great for visiting. We enjoyed using the patio and the upstairs deck. There is plenty of beach toys and chairs to use. I highly recommend renting this house. Great job, Pat!

Rose Cottage is the sweet spot of location, only yards from the beach and yards from the outlet mall. The home is elegant and well-stocked. We had the best time and all of our friends who had rented other houses were jealous of our home away from home. Cheeseburger in Paradise in the mall parking lot has great margueritas and The Hog's Breath down the road has very good barbeque. We definitely will come back and stay at this home.

We rented Rose Cottage for our family vacation (May 2011) this year and could not have been more pleased! This was a first for us so we were a little anxious about making the right choice but there was no need! Pat, the owner was amazingly kind and everything in the home is exactly as described. It is a beautiful home for adults but is also kid-friendly (we have 3!). The beach is a short walk down the road and there are no streets to cross. The home was very clean, well kept, and there were beach toys for the children as well as a high chair seat and pack-n-play for little ones to sleep in. We had a marvelous time and our kiddos are already talking about next year! Thanks for making our vacation one of the best ever!

Thanks for a great stay at your property.Upon arriving the cottage was very clean , well stocked and the kitchen was fully functionable with everything we needed to eat most of our meals in.We grilled often and the private yard and deck was quiet and relaxing to have our morning coffee.The beach was only 150 yards from the cottage in a quiet neighborhood-no partying or loud groups.All of the conveniences were within a few miles-Walmart,Bass Pro Shop,Outlet mall,restaurants and any thing else a person would want.We would highly recommend staying here as it was a great value-especially split between a couple of families.The owner takes pride in her home and it shows.Hope to stay again in the future.

Rose Cottage was the ideal setting for a New Year's weekend. There was plenty of room for three couples and the location was perfect. The beach is just down the street and there was no busy road to cross to get to the beach. Pat provided excellent customer service. The house was spotless and the backyard was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Rose Cottage as a beach destination.

We spent New Year's at Rose Cottage and it was a great trip. The house is very nice and was spotless. The location can't be beat, convenient to the beach and stores. We were able to enjoy the beautiful backyard as well. Plenty of room for three couples. Would highly recommend staying here.

This was perfect for those who want a peaceful vacation, yet close to shopping, restaurants, and of course no streets to cross to the beach!! It was wonderful and relaxing and we did not want to leave, but we had to. It makes going back home difficult!! Pat is very attentive to all of our requests as if she were right there. I would recommend this home to anyone. Thanks again Pat!

Pat, we had a great time staying in your beautiful home. The house and decor were lovely as well as your patio and garden area. My husband and I enjoyed sitting out on the patio reading and enjoying our morning coffee. The closeness to the beach was an added plus. We would not hesitate to stay there again. Thanks, Pat, for being so helpful and accommodating.
