The Space:
Sunlight moves easily through the home as Gulf breezes drift in from nearby Miramar Beach, creating a laid-back rhythm that fits group getaways at any pace. Mornings unfold with coffee on the balcony, afternoons drift between the pool and the beach, and evenings bring everyone back together across generous shared spaces designed for lingering conversations and quiet downtime alike.
Set just seven houses from the shoreline with beach access and no roads to cross, this three-level home offers over 5,000 square feet arranged for large groups. With room for up to 24 guests, the layout balances privacy and togetherness, making it well suited for extended families or friends traveling as one.
Sleeping arrangements
The home includes eight bedrooms thoughtfully spread across all three floors. Six king master suites each feature an ensuite bathroom, creating comfortable private retreats throughout the home. Two additional bunk rooms add flexible sleeping options for kids or teens, including a bunk suite with queen bunks and a standalone queen bed. In total, the home offers 14 beds and 8.5 baths.
Living areas & entertainment
Multiple living spaces give everyone room to settle in. Open gathering areas with ample seating invite casual conversation, movie nights, or quiet breaks between beach outings. On the third floor, a dedicated game room features a pool table, seating, and a TV, and opens to a covered balcony with a light glimpse of the Gulf.
Kitchen & dining
Two fully equipped kitchens make it easy to prepare meals for a crowd or split cooking duties. Full-size appliances and nearby dining areas support everything from quick breakfasts to shared dinners. Outside, an outdoor kitchen with a grill extends meals into the backyard when the mood calls for open-air dining.
Outdoor living
The backyard centers around a pool and hot tub, offering an easy place to cool off or unwind after a day at the beach. Pool heat is seasonal and available by request from October through May. Multiple balconies and outdoor seating areas provide spots to enjoy coastal breezes throughout the day.
Comfort & amenities
You’ll have WiFi, a dedicated workspace, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, bathroom essentials, and bed linens. Beach essentials are included, and the home is pet-friendly. Self check-in with a smart lock and free on-site and street parking add convenience to your stay.

Thank you for the great review! Glad the location and the space worked well for your large group. It was a pleasure hosting you — we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! Atlantis was built for gathering, celebrating, and relaxing in style, with six king master suites, each with its own private en-suite bath. Whether you’re traveling with multiple families or bringing the whole crew together for a special occasion, this home offers the space and amenities to make your trip effortless and unforgettable.
This house was perfect for our stay as our daughter was married on the beach. Both families were able to stay in the same place.

That’s so special — congratulations on your daughter’s wedding! We’re truly honored that the home could be a part of such a meaningful celebration for your family. Wishing you all the best and hope to host you again for more happy memories!
Stayed here with college friends for our annual golf trip. Wonderful spot for large group close to the beach.
Hot tub works too well, it was scorching hot the second night.
We enjoyed the house plenty of room for all. Enjoyed having the golf cart for trips back and forth to beach. Also, for exploring the area. Pool area was beautiful, Kitchen was roomy. Loved how close it was to the beach. Wish the pool area had some shady areas. Overall wonderful vacation in a beautiful family friendly home.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Monica! We're glad the spacious house and golf cart made your stay enjoyable, and that you loved the pool area and proximity to the beach. We appreciate your feedback about additional shade in the pool area. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful vacation soon!
This home added to a fantastic multi family vacation. Very clean and welcoming...we swam in the pool several times. Hot tub was fun; came on promptly at 6. Just up the street from the beach house and beach
We were impressed with the house! We go down to the beach each fall as a large group and this is by far one of the best houses we have stayed in. Property contact was attentive and helpful. Short short walk to the beach and close to food, shopping and activities. Would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for hosting our work planning session for 7 team members. Great house, pool and whirlpool. Wonderful location right off beach close to great bars within walking distance. 8 bedrooms and 9 baths perfect.
Spacious home with plenty of privacy and common area socializing. Staff was extremely gracious and helpful. One our best vacations yet in Miramar/Destin area. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your home.
We had 22 in our family. The house handled us well Had all the stuff you would have at home. It is close to everything we did/wanted (para sailing, golf, fishing, etc).
5 families stayed here, location was awesome, close to beach and shops, we had an issue with the pool but it was fixed quickly and boy did the kids enjoy it. No one had issues while at this home, would definitely do it again.
The house was perfect for our group. The 14 of us were not on top of each other. Location was steps to the beach. The house was very clean.
We only had a few minor issues with the tv and pool heat during the stay but those were quickly resolved by maintenance, even at 9pm.
This property is highly recommended.
I was pleased that the house was available before the check in time as we were a large group traveling by different modes of transportation. My friends checked in slightly early. The accomodations were clean and spacious. There was ample kitchenware, towels and paper goods to begin our stay. Very pleased with the location. Would rent this house again if the occassion arose.
Had a wonderful stay celebrating holidays with family. The house was wonderful for us - big beds with ensuite baths. The pool was clean - we had it heated. We all loved the hot tub. It was scheduled for 6 hours each day but you could text the maintenance person if you wanted the hours changed. The house is very close to the beach- an easy walk. Grocery store 1/2 mile away. Lots of shops and activities. The house was clean- plenty of dinnerware and pots and pans for the group. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad the house worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and close proximity to the beach. It’s great to hear the amenities met your needs. We’d love to host you again in the future!
This house accommodated 23 people easily for our family vacation. Each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom, so getting ready each morning was easy for every family. The pool was lovely, the beach was a quick walk down the road, the golf cart was convenient for getting all our beach gear to & from the beach. There is a public parking lot at the beach directly across from our street, with showers for rinsing. There is ample food, shopping & activities near by.
We all enjoyed our stay in this rental. I would rent again if the opportunity presented itself.
Property is about a block from the beach and two blocks from a beach bar, golf cart is included (and there is golf cart parking at the beach) and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Maintenance person Koy shared his number and was SO helpful throughout our trip with questions. Bring your own beach chairs, beach towels, and blackout curtains if you need it to be dark to sleep, but kitchen gear and bath towels are a plenty. HIGHLY recommend!
This is the second time we’ve stayed in this rental and we enjoyed our stay! Check in was easy, check out was easy and the stay was nice. We did have a few hiccups but Daniel was very responsive and took care of each issue quickly for us. (Like replacing the dryer with a new one after it but the dust) we had multiple family’s staying and everyone had their own room and the pool was warm and the hot tub was hot (during the hours It was on) We would stay here again! OnlyTwo comments- the private beach entrance stairs is pretty rickety , we switched to using the public ramp, and the front door knob is a little loose, takes some twisting to get it own!

Thank you for your review, Kelsey! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and that Daniel was able to assist promptly with the issues you encountered. We appreciate your feedback regarding the private beach entrance and the front door knob and will address these concerns. It’s great to hear that everyone in your group had their own room and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We look forward to welcoming you back for a third visit!
Hi the house was beautiful and it looked just like the online posting, the only issue we had was the weather didn’t pan out right so we wasn’t to use the pool or hot tub and the water did freeze but once we contacted maintenance they came over and did what they could, we had enough towels , space and kitchen appliances, the internet did run slow and we some connection issues but other than that everything was good. The location was great we was near the outlets ,beach, and other stores will definitely stay there again.
Not enough good things to say about this space, especially for the large group we brought. Like 8 full master bedrooms with their own bathroom? Pool table and kitchenette on the third floor offers a nice spot to hang out with a nice big balcony. The size of the living room, dining room table, and kitchen was a huge perk, and let us all comfortably spread out, and we had 20 people. The pool was a perfect size, and was a perfect sitting area for the large group. Grill and outdoor fridge were especially nice to have access to, but the best part was the location to the beach. 5 minute walk just up the street, and I thought it would be impossible to find such a big house that close to the beach. Highly recommend, and wouldn't be surprised to see us return.
We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. We had 15 total family members from age 11 to age 71. The pool and hot tub was fantastic and was in a great location, only a short walk to the beach. We would definitely rent this location again. The only down side was no rail for the older people to get in and out of pool.
