Sand Dollar Hideaway 4 Bedroom & 4 Bath Cottage with Guest House
Do you dream of a vacation where you just want peace, privacy, and away from crowded beaches, while still being close to everything? You will find all of this at Sand Dollar Hideaway. This amazing oasis is a four bedroom/ four bath private home that is just steps from the beach in the private luxury neighborhood of Gulf Pines in Miramar Beach. Sand Dollar Hideaway is a 3BR/3BA main house with a 1BR/1BA guest house which both have full kitchens and your own private saltwater pool. This is truly the Perfect Beach Vacation Hideaway!
The Main House lower floor has a NEW Kitchen, dining room, spacious living room, sunroom, a bedroom with a private bathroom and walk-in shower, a 2nd bedroom with 2 beds in it and another full bathroom with walk in shower. The whole 2nd floor of the main house is the newly remodeled Master Bedroom Suite with new bathroom and a large private balcony overlooking the saltwater pool.
The Guest house located over the (Owner Only) garage, also has a NEW Bathroom AND its own private balcony overlooking the private saltwater pool. Inside the guest house is a studio apartment with everything needed for a separate living space including King Size Bed, Queen Size Pull Out Sofa, workspace, full kitchen and full bathroom!
The luxury private saltwater pool is fenced around the pool decking and includes an outdoor shower!
Sand Dollar Hideaway is only a 3-minute walk from the front door to the PRIVATE beach of Gulf Pines Neighborhood!
Gulf Pines is a PRIVATE low-density neighborhood with mostly full year residents, making it feel even more peaceful. This means you will not be surrounded by lots of people or crowded beaches that comes along with most condos and neighborhoods that are crammed with tons of rental houses that require only access to public beaches.
Gulf Pines is directly next to Sandestin Resort, so this neighborhood still gives all the easy access to Sandestin`s Baytowne Wharf, many activities, and shopping, and dining, all around Miramar Beach or Destin.

Pool and hot tub were incredible. Beds were really nice and all kitchen ware was great. Perfect space for family vacation and the private beach was amazing. 10/10
We ended up needing an extra night and Ami was so accommodating. The house is gorgeous as well as the private beach access. We will definitely be booking with Ami, again.

This property was wonderful! We truly enjoyed ourselves. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and supplies, the common area comfortably seated our family, the beds sleep exceptionally well and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. But most of all, I appreciate Ami & Justin’s quick response to all of our questions/concerns. I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful house. Having the pool and hot tub was a huge bonus for the kids. Having access to the private beach access was also wonderful. Lots to do nearby and the host was most gracious. Highly recommend!
Our grandkids loved the pool. We were close to all the attractions on the Emerald Coast. The beach was a close walk. Wonderful space to gather as a family.
This home was very clean and in great condition. We enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the private beach. We would absolutely love to come back.

My family and I and our friends REALLY enjoyed our stay here. The temps weren't quite that warm, so the heated pool and the hot tub were a BIG hit every day we were there! We enjoyed having the golf cart delivered for the week and rode back and forth to the beach several times. Such a fun stay!!

This home is in a quiet neighborhood just steps from the beach. The home was very clean and a great setup for a large family or several families to stay together. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. The location was close to everything including restaurants, entertainment, golf, and shopping. Ami was incredibly responsive and provided all the necessary details and additional helpful information to help make our stay great!
We enjoyed this beautiful beach house. All of the amenities! 3 minute walk to the beach and the house itself is perfect with the cottage apartment. We all enjoyed our stay very much and the private beach was amazing!

Thank you so much,Jennifer, for this amazing review of our beach house and our private beach🥰. We also really love the layout of SandDollar, privacy of the large pool in the back yard, and the private beach that you can set up anywhere on🙌.
You all were such amazing guests and it was such a pleasure talking to you! I am so happy you loved everything and we would love to have you all back, anytime.
Ami🌴
Amazing! The cottage was extremely clean and nicely updated! The kids loved the heated pool and the short walk to the private breathtaking beach! Overall, best vacation rental we have stayed at in Florida!

We recently stayed at this property and had an amazing experience. The location was perfect, offering easy access to the beach. The cleanliness of the place exceeded our expectations, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Overall, a fantastic getaway with everything I could have asked for!

Stayed here with family for 5 nights. Amazing location just around the corner from the beach. No problem at all to get to. Hosts were very kind and responsive to ensure we were comfortable and went out of our way to make sure any questions we had were answered. Would definitely stay here again.
Sand Dollar Hideaway is a gorgeous home! So much room for everyone in our family! The pool house was perfect for our adult son. So private and quiet! Having a large family pool was a wonderful treat! We would walk the beach, which was very close, and then come back to swim for hours!! The owners, Justin and Ami, were wonderful hosts! Very attentive and great with communication! We hated to have to leave! Cant wait to come back!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Grandparents, siblings, and children - we all had a beautiful, clean, and spacious place to both spread out and come together throughout the day. We enjoyed our proximity to the beach, and spent hours in the hot tub and pool on the property. We took long walks through the neighborhood and appreciated the feeling of being in a home instead of a high-rise environment. We would definitely recommend, and look forward to vacationing here in the future!
This property was amazing. Especially with two separate living areas for privacy. It rained quite a bit and it was a little chilly the last day however with the hot tub built into the pool it was easy to relax all day outside. It definitely has the second home vibe and it is advertised as such. I will rebook.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are also huge fans of the pool and hot tub combo! It’s a whole privacy and relaxation for us, especially for grilling while you swim. I am so glad you love my vibe of mixing a second home feel by the beach. We would love to have you back!!
Ami🌴
So close to the beach with such easy access. The pool was great with the Hotub. The house was very nice and clean. With a very cool separate apartment. The beach was so pretty and the one thing my family loved was the private beach. Plenty of shopping all around with great deals. So many choices of food as well. My family truly enjoyed our stay. We are already looking for our return date to DESTIN!!!!!

This house is awesome! There were 12 adults staying, and we all had plenty of room. The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked. The beds are AMAZING! We had bad storms at the beginning which blew debris into the pool and hot tub. The owners had someone out within a couple of hours to clean it. Ami was so friendly, helpful and responded quickly to any questions. We will definitely be back again!
There was 7 total of us and we were so pleased with the house and the room above the garage. Very short walk to the beach. ( my friend and I love walking the beach, it’s how we start the day until everybody wakes up.) The pool and hot tub , which my husband used every day was so so nice. House was equipped with everything we needed”everything”. We had a couple small issues which Ami and Justin took care of right away. Would recommend this home for sure, and we’ve already spoken to Ami about next year already. Need a great vacation home?, look no further- you will be pleased with this one! . Thank you Ami and Justin for providing such a wonderful vacation spot for us travelers!

It was such a pleasure having you all, Marcia! You were outstanding guests and we can’t wait to have you back. I am so glad you loved it there as much as we do. I have nearer saw a guest be as clean as you all were. I may have taken a couple of your snickers. 😂 jk. Can’t wait to see you next year.
Ami 🌴🌸
We had a wonderful week at Ami's property!! The house is beautiful with a wonderful pool, that my kids loved!! It was very clean and had had a well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. We didn't use the apartment but it was very nice as well. It's a short walk to the beach and if you don't feel like walking you can park right in front of the private beach entrance. Since the beach is private to the community it was not busy. Ami was really easy to work with and if I had any questions she was able to help. The community is not far from the outlet malls, Grand boulevard shopping center and SO much more. I would definitely stay at this property again because the house, location and owner were great! Sad we still aren't there!

This is a nice property in a upscale neighborhood. Plus given to the private beach. It's quiet and close to everything. The pool was also nice. The room above the garage is interesting and offers some privacy. The house itself suffers some lack of attention to maintenance details, with sloppy paint, non working outlets and inadequate air conditioning. We found pans with burned on food in the cabinets, put away dirty. Appliances feel cheap. Grill isn't great. Pans are so cheap we went and bought a skillet. Beach access really needs two key fobs. Overall I think it's a decent rental due to location. I'd give it a B and a positive recommendation for rental.

I am glad you enjoyed your time at the beach and pool. The breaker had tripped in that particular bathroom with the outlets. The next guests called and told us about it unlike you. You stayed right after we left and we did resolved all maintenance issues during our stay. I don’t know what paint you are saying is sloppy. We take extremely great care of our beach home. You never called about any of this or we would have fixed whatever we could for you as we always do for our guests.
Bless,
