About this property

Walk to Beach + Community Pool | 6-Min Walk to Miramar Beach | Destin Dream

Just a six-minute walk from the sugar-white sands of Miramar Beach, Destin Dream is a sun-drenched coastal home built for groups who want room to spread out without losing the togetherness that makes a beach trip worth it. The two-story split layout is the secret weapon here — each floor has its own private entrance, full kitchen, and living space, making it ideal for multi-generational trips, friend group reunions, or anyone traveling with a crew that values both connection and a little breathing room.

Inside, both levels open into bright, airy living areas with plush sectionals, oversized windows, and coastal-modern finishes that keep things feeling fresh. The downstairs living room centers around a large flat-screen TV — perfect for movie nights after a day at the beach — while the upstairs lounge brings the entertainment factor up a notch with a V3 Polycade gaming console loaded with arcade classics. With two of everything, no one's fighting over the remote.

The kitchens are the kind that actually get used. Both come fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, and full prep space — the downstairs kitchen anchored by a generous bar with seating for seven, ideal for casual breakfasts and snack-and-chat sessions. Whether you're plating up a beach-day breakfast or going all-in on a group dinner, there's table space on both floors: a smaller dining setup downstairs and a larger table upstairs for when the whole crew wants to gather.

Outdoor living is woven throughout. A wide, welcoming front porch is set up for slow mornings with coffee, while the second-floor balcony catches the Gulf breeze and offers another shaded spot to read, lounge, or just zone out for a while. Out back, the grill takes center stage for sunset cookouts — the kind of low-key BBQ nights that tend to become the highlight of any beach trip.

The five bedrooms sleep up to 15 across two king bedrooms, two queen bedrooms, a bunk room with a full-over-full bunk plus a twin, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area for overflow. Four full bathrooms keep mornings flowing smoothly, even with a full house.

When you're ready to head out, the neighborhood delivers. Miramar Beach itself is a six-minute stroll, where powdery sand and the Gulf's clear, calm water are waiting. The community pool gives you a freshwater alternative just steps away, and the area is genuinely walkable — a rarity along this stretch of 30A and Destin. For dining and shopping, you're minutes from Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and HarborWalk Village, while the legendary seafood spots, beach bars, and family-friendly attractions of Destin proper are a quick drive away.

As a special treat for choosing to stay at Destin Dream, we provide an exclusive privilege - a lavish 6-seater golf cart to effortlessly explore the captivating attractions surrounding the beach. Typically priced at $150 per day, we extend this remarkable offer to our esteemed guests at an incredible discounted rate of only $75 per day. This extraordinary amenity is guaranteed to elevate your experience and make your stay at our enchanting property even more delightful!

With dual kitchens, dual living spaces, and beach access just down the road, Destin Dream lives up to its name — a flexible, easygoing escape made for groups who want the full Emerald Coast experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at Destin Dream. I was very comfortable. We had multiple families staying, but did not feel cramped at all. I was pleasantly surprised at the amenities provided, such as cleaning supplies, detergent , adequate paper supplies and even beach towels. I was impressed with the speed and attention to resolve a concern that arose. There was prompt communication with AvantStay. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Beach House

We couldn’t have loved the beach house more! It was in the perfect location, stocked with everything we needed, perfect for our family of 13. The property managers went above and beyond to answer all of my questions. I would 100/10 stay here again.

AMAZING!!!!

We loved the property, it was perfect for a large group of girls or large families. It’s a 5 min walk to the beach and just a few steps away from the pool. The only thing that surprised us was that the two levels were not connected other than that we could not have asked for a better stay. We will definitely be using this company in the future and would recommend to anyone!

Family Vacay 2025

This was a great rental! Great location, walking and golf cart friendly. The distant to the beach was 3 min walk just as mentioned. Accommodations were enough for all nine of us. We had everything we needed in the kitchen but I would suggest a Keurig, especially when only 2 of the 9 drink coffee. I wish the two units were connected through an inside entrance as opposed to outdoor entrances. We spent the majority of our time upstairs and only used the bottom unit to sleep and shower. We took advantage of the golf cart, although I wish listing would’ve mentioned the cost for it before I rented another golf cart outside because it was half the price! We would definitely rent again!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a group of 10 people coming down to enjoy spring break and the property did not disappoint! Everything was clean and organized when we arrived, and we had no trouble finding anything we needed. The beach chairs and umbrellas were a very nice touch as well. Two things to note: 1.) The garage code was not working, which made it a little more difficult to get back and forth between the upstairs and downstairs. 2.) The beach gate codes for Hollywood and Miami Beach access did not work, which gave us some issues with the security guard. I would recommend double-checking that the codes given are correct.

Nice house but needs normal maintenance.

This house is nice but needs regular maintenance. AC unit was out the entire stay. Had to have maintenance come several times. Curtain Rod over door fell and hit my son in the head, had to come fix lights that were not working. Had to have them call service for the washing machine. Problems with the garbage disposal. Had to meet maintenance or repair man 7 different times over or 1 week stay. Also didn’t give me the correct codes for the garage door and the beach access. I felt like by day 4 I had had enough of problems! Hopefully after I felt like a complainer for days it will be better for the next person! They need to get a better selection of kitchen essentials. No bowls to mix products in! A better coffee pot that doesn’t take 30 mins to brew!
