Thank you, Emily, for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beauty and brightness of the house. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!
This was a great place for me, my wife and our dog Jack. Place was just like all the others I’ve stayed in, but this one was great because it had two en suite’s. Only thing I would suggest for the king beds is to make a better choice in them being maybe medium soft things were hard as a rock.

Great Location, Clean & Dog-Friendly Beach House
We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Miramar Beach. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and within easy walking distance to shopping and dining. The house was very clean and comfortable, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time there.
A couple of minor updates would make it even better: the blinds could use attention, as many didn’t work properly, and some of the rugs are worn with corners turned up. These were small issues and didn’t take away from our overall experience.
We were especially happy that the home was dog-friendly, which made our stay even better. Overall, a great house and we would happily stay here again.

Beautiful home! Great location!
We had such a wonderful stay in this immaculate, beautiful home! The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful and the beach access was 3 doors down, making walking to the beach so easy. The home was equipped with everything needed for a very enjoyable stay, and the home and furnishings were very well maintained! We are already planning another visit for next year!

Perfect Spot
We enjoyed a perfect family vacation, because the house has everything we need in addition to an excellent location near the beach
We wanted to bring our small dog with us so we searched for a dog friendly place that was in the right location and fit our needs. This place was perfect! We will definitely be back.

This was the perfect location. Private access to the beach, shops and restaurants close by. Pet friendly and absolutely beautiful Only thing was the smoke alarms would go off when using the oven and not all the blinds would open properly, but these things are minor compared to the access this place provides

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you found the place clean. We apologize for the discomfort caused by the living room chairs. Your comfort is important to us, and we'll look into upgrading the furniture to ensure a more comfortable stay for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon!
The property was absolutely beautiful and perfectly furnished. I loved how close it was to the beach and the pool. Luckily the weather for our stay was excellent. The only downside to the property was that the bunks were not very long...basically only small children, not teenagers, can fit it them.

Comfortable and great location
The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the back deck so we could hang out comfortably while we grilled out. Even though there is a lot packed into this area, the house still felt quiet and private. The location was great and the walk to the beach really is short and manageable. I love that the walkway has so much shade - definitely made walks on a hot day much easier! We really enjoyed our time and this was a great place to stay.
