This property was beautifully decorated, very spacious and super clean. The neighborhood was in the perfect location. Short walk to the beach, pool right behind house but was not super noisy. I would highly recommend this house and area in Miramar for a beach vacation stay.

Family vacation

We have gone on vacation with our neighbors for 5 years now over fall break. We have always stayed at a condo in Beach Retreat or a house in Cottage Retreat. This house was by far the best layout and cleanest for our two families. With 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2 to 16 it’s hard to find something that fits everyone. But we finally found it. Will definitely try to book this house again next year once we know when fall break is.

First Miramar visit

Property was just as described. Perfect for our family. However, the 4th bedroom on 3rd floor was small and the bunk bed squeaked. We had young adult and teenager to share that room. Son said the couch was more comfortable. Was not a bad walk to beach access. The pool was too hot to enjoy on those hot July days. We did not use. My 1 complaint is the codes for access to neighborhood and beach. Too many codes to remember. I understand safety/privacy reasons for them would be nice if some kind of scannable bracelets or something. Overall, loved our visit

Captain Quarters

The location is great, the community is great. However the cottages needs some attention. The carpet, TV’s and appliances need to be replaced/updated. The carpet is disgusting. The AC vent in the ceiling in over the kitchen table leaks. We had to move the table to sit and eat. There is a frog, dead, stuck in the ceiling register. The registers in the bathrooms are rusted. The shower curtains have black mold on them especially the first bedroom/bath. There were a couple bugs/roaches in the 3rd floor bathroom. Really needs some maintenance and some care.

Very ran down house and extremely horrible property management

Southern rental is horrible to communicate with. Sent two texts from property which I never got answers. Had to call Vrbo to get check in information because SVR never sent me anything. House is extremely ran down, horrible dirty and old mixed match carpet throughout, chipped tile, broken trash disposal, no cable tv, no internet and very dated house. Too bad this place is in such bad stay, location is excellent and house has lots of potential. I would never use or recommend Southern Vacation Rentals!

Hello Manuel, thank you for your review and feedback. We deeply apologize if we missed the mark on customer service. We do have several ways guest can contact us, whether by text, phone call, or secure messages. Unfortunately we did not receive any texts for you, so we do hope you have our number correctly. We are sorry your reservation was after a hurricane that made our beautiful area lose internet and cable for a little over 5 days. Because this is such a great location, we do get a lot of guests, which means a lot of up-keep and wear and tear. We are currently working with the management team to get items replaced. We do apologize again for the property not being ready for your reservation. We sincerely hope you choose to stay with us again so we can show you the definition of a true 5-star stay.

Great Week

Captain's Quarters is a house with a lot of potential but it needs some care. The carpet is worn out. In the doorways, you can feel the carpet tacks when you walk. In one of the bedroom door way, the carpet is loose to the point you can trip on it. There was a leak over the dining room table that has been there for awhile. The microwave door handle is broken. The sofa in the living room and up stairs is worn out. It is a beautiful home with lots of room but needs updating. The house is convenient to the pool and beach. Location is wonderful. It needs 3 parking spaces with unit. The information on the website needs updating about the parking. We had a great week. Spend some money on the house so it can be more enjoyable to stay in. The staff was very nice to talk to.

Thank you for this review Linda. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation. We will certainly take a look at the carpet in the doorways and the sofas and will work with the owner to make any improvements. We are happy to report that the water by the AC vent above the dining table was just condensation and that the microwave handle has been repaired. We apologize for any confusion over parking in the neighborhood. This property does allow for a maximum of two cars and that information is reflected on our listing. We would love the chance to see you again in the future! Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team

The home was spotless upon entry and has recently been remodeled. From the floors to the ceiling, it was just beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked and we lacked nothing throughout the week. The rental company was in constant communication throughout the week via email and text ready to rectify any issues if needed. The property was perfect!!!!!

The house was awesome. Pool behind the house and beach was close. We had a few issues like washing machine and toaster not working but they replaced them.

Was not disappointed

Love Destin beaches. Rented a home this time to bring my family to celebrate my 50th birthday. Captain Quarter's is just as described. The gated community is nice and quiet. There is a short walk to the beach and the swimming pool was very nice. The only thing I would suggest is adding handicap rails for toilet and tub. I would definitely rent this house again.

Overall a great experience!

We loved our stay in the captain’s quarters! We were there with a bunch of teenage girls for a cheer and basketball tournament and it was so nice being able to put all the girls on a floor to themselves while the adults had the peace and quiet of the second floor. Our only complaint is the bathtub in the master bath, only one jet worked and black mold cane out of the jet when it was turned on. Other than that, it was a great, private and secure, good beach access, pool and hot tub were great for December swimming and the house is beautiful and peaceful!

Great location. Great home

The management company did an excellent job communicating. The house had a fully stocked kitchen, we had plenty of plates, cups, utensils etc. AC worked great. Only negative is the couches and mattresses could use an update as they were worn and not very comfy to sit or sleep on. Good enough, but near the end of use.
