About this property

1-min walk to quiet beach, renovated, 2 kitchens!

Wake up less than a one-minute walk from one of the calmest stretches of sand in the Destin area. The Salty Seahorse is a freshly renovated Miramar Beach townhouse whose neighborhood beach access is shared only with this residential community and one condominium complex. With no public parking at the access point, the sand stays quiet even in peak season, and guests consistently tell us the walk feels even shorter than the map suggests.

You are tucked into a relaxed Miramar Beach neighborhood while staying close to the Emerald Coast's favorite destinations: approximately 2 miles from Sandestin, 6 miles from Destin, and 7 miles from the communities along Scenic Highway 30A.

DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES AND GROUPS
The Salty Seahorse sleeps up to 12 across 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a queen sleeper sofa. Two separate living levels and two kitchens give larger groups room to gather for meals and movie nights while still finding quiet corners apart. The step-free lower level has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a living area, and its own kitchen with a standard electric stove, which many guests choose so grandparents or little ones can skip the stairs. The upper level holds the remaining bedrooms and baths, the main gathering spaces, and a full kitchen with an induction cooktop (induction-ready cookware is provided and stays upstairs).

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
• Bedroom 1: California king
• Bedroom 2: California king
• Bedroom 3: Two queens
• Bedroom 4: California king
• Common area: Queen sleeper sofa

BEACH GEAR AND PADDLEBOARDS
Beach days are easier with the provided chairs, umbrellas, wagons, and beach toys, and you may also find extra gear left by previous guests. Two paddleboards are included; the access code is shared once the required waiver is on file.

WHY GUESTS COME BACK
Families of nine and larger tell us the same things again and again: the beach really is that close, the kitchens have the cookware and counter space to feed a full house, and there is room for everyone to spread out without anyone feeling crowded. Miramar Beach offers more than one kind of coastal day. The Dolphin Reef near Miramar Beach Regional Beach Access is a favorite snorkeling spot for experienced swimmers who bring or rent their own gear, when Gulf conditions are suitable. Destin Commons adds movies, public art, shopping, and family activities, while The Village of Baytowne Wharf offers boutiques, galleries, outdoor festivals, and scheduled entertainment. Each is within easy driving reach, so the group can mix beach time with an outing without changing home base.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ July 2026 | Group trip
We loved our stay! Easy walk to the beach and shopping, great layout, and we used the kitchen and grill a lot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May 2026 | Stayed with kids
Steps to the beach was an awesome experience. The distance to the beach was just as described. My whole family was just as impressed as I was about the house and location. We will definitely book again in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ April 2026 | Stayed with Kids
“This home is in a fabulous location, so close to the beach, a 2-minute walk. The beach is pristine. The kitchen was well stocked and the wagon, chairs, and beach toys were great. Parker was quick to respond and the owner also called to help with some needed supplies. This is a large house with indoor and outdoor space. Our family of 9 was very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit table, grill, and balcony.”

A FEW PRACTICAL NOTES
Up to 4 vehicles fit on the property, including the garage. Oversized vehicles, boats, trailers, and jet skis need written approval before arrival so we can plan parking with you. Quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM in this close-knit neighborhood. A doorbell camera monitors the exterior entry area only. Cancellation terms follow the policy attached to your reservation, and we recommend travel insurance for every trip.

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS

The Salty Seahorse is part of Peacock Paradise Vacations, a family-run collection of homes my husband, Oz, and I personally love and care for. We want each stay to feel easy, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared, so you can spend less time managing vacation logistics and more time with your toes in Miramar Beach sand.

The house worked perfectly with multiple family members staying together. The two kitchen areas worked great. There was plenty of seating in the main family room and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The main dining table had adequate seating for our large family and had a high chair that was an added bonus.

Great Location!!!

The beach is a short walk away. The house is exactly as listed. The decor is beautiful. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to enjoy the outdoor area but it was really nice. Everyone bragged about how comfortable the beds were. We will definitely be back.

Family vacation

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. This property was beautiful and exceptionally clean. It looks exactly like the photos, even better in person! It was stocked with plenty of toiletries and also with everything that we needed and more to prepare meals. We loved that we could walk to the beach, it was that close! The beach chairs and umbrellas that were provided was an added bonus for enjoyable days at the beach.This property is also very close to a shopping outlet and grocery store. The property manager (Host) was gracious. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolute Paradise

My family and I were in paradise! The home was everything a family of seven could dream of. The floor plan was perfect. The Destin beach is breathtaking and the location of the home is perfect at the end of the street so no traffic. Perfectly well thought out with all the amenities you would ever need in this exceptional home. Thank you for making this awesome property a paradise away from home for our family. The hosts are sensational. We did not want to leave and will definitely book in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Parker Borofsky

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 who love adventure and enjoy sharing some of our favorite places with you! From the ancient Smoky Mountains (did you know this mountain range is the 8th oldest in the WORLD?!), to the gorgeous white sands and glassy waters of the Florida Panhandle/Emerald Coast. Parker is an award-winning mortgage loan originator specializing in helping families start their short-term rental portfolios, while Oz is a "retired" Electronic Engineer, who now spends his days tirelessly working on each of our properties to keep them in great condition! Our daughter Taliesin who is headed to college has been involved in design and decor and our son Zolin who is still in high school just might be the one to answer your message or inquiry. We are emotionally attached to each of our properties (even though we aren't supposed to be lol) and we truly hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Choose The Salty Seahorse for rare beach proximity, flexible group space, and amenities built for effortless coastal trips. The townhouse is less than a one-minute walk from a quiet neighborhood beach access shared only with the surrounding community and one condominium complex; with no public parking at the entrance, this stretch of sand is often calmer than nearby public beaches.
Up to 12 guests spread across 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms: three California kings, a double-queen room, and a queen sleeper sofa. The two-level layout gives families multiple gathering spaces, and the step-free downstairs level (2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, and living space) suits guests who prefer to minimize stairs.
Between beach sessions: a movie theater, 75-inch HDTV, ping pong and board games, an outdoor kitchen with propane grill, a propane fire pit table, an outdoor shower, 500+ Mbps Wi-Fi, a private EV charger, and a complete baby setup. Two kitchens mean two cooks never collide, and the provided beach chairs, umbrellas, wagons, and paddleboards (waiver required) mean the only thing to pack is sunscreen

What makes this property unique

You have the entire townhouse and its indoor and outdoor living areas to yourselves:
• 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms across two levels
• Two kitchen areas, plus the outdoor kitchen and propane grill
• Step-free downstairs suite: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, living space
• Movie theater and 75-inch HDTV
• Game and lounge areas with ping pong and board games
• In-unit washer and dryer
• Propane fire pit table, balcony, backyard, patio, outdoor dining, sun loungers, outdoor shower
• Private J-1772 240V EV charger
• Baby gear: Pack 'n Play, high chair, baby bath, children's dinnerware, safety gates
• Beach chairs, umbrellas, wagons, beach toys, and two paddleboards (waiver required)

The neighborhood Gulf access is less than a one-minute walk away. It is shared with this community and one condominium complex rather than exclusive to the home, and self check-in is by smart lock, with your unique code and simple instructions sent before arrival.
