My family really enjoyed our stay. It was a fantastic location and great community. It was a short walk to beach access and many things to do around the area.

Literally a 5 minute walk to the beach, this home was perfect for our family of six. Recent renovations made the home an incredible vacation for our family. Very close to a number of good food options and in a gated community. Truly a bargain spot for a high class beach vacation to the Emerald Coast. You won’t be disappointed with the home or the beach!

Entire stay was amazing. Master bedroom toilet is not flushing correctly and has an odor during the evenings. House is beautiful and service was excellent. Giving 4 stars due to the lack of concern from the maintenance individual with the toilet not flushing correctly.

Trash can was very small- garbage never came Thursday- very few things to cook with- no mixing bowls , containers to put things in- pans etc The master was spacious- other bedrooms were really small. The kitchen island was great - liked the porches

Reviewer Comments:
House was great! Very clean, pretty and roomy. We much enjoyed it.House does not come with beach chair service, but does have chairs that you can take with you down to the beach. My only complaint is the e-mail contact for info is not very efficient. It takes days for a response if you even get one.

House was in a great neighborhood very close to beach. House is a duplex but neighbor next door is very quiet. Kitchen could use some new frying pans but everything else was great. We loved the house having a separate ice machine. The beds were all very comfortable too.

We appreciate you sharing your experience! It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the prime location and tranquil atmosphere of our property. We have noted your suggestion to add more pans in the kitchen and will consider it for the future. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a wonderful week at Live Life. The house was perfectly situated in the Emerald Waters neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach and even easier to the pools. Our group of 6 (2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 pre-teens) had plent of space -- the house was exactly as described. We really enjoyed the patios. The large open kitchen/living area was nice, as well. Having a couple beach chairs and boogie boards available was a nice perk. The beach was much better than the beaches closer to Rosemary/Seacrest, too -- more spacious and less crowded. We highly recommend this house!

We loved staying at this property! Everything was clean, organized and made for the perfect stay. The kitchen was stocked so easy to prep and cook meals. The outdoor shower helped with getting everything clean. They had a boogie boards, shovels, and beach chairs to use. It’s a block from the beach so and easy walk. We loved our stay and hope to come again in the future!

Thanks so much for the great review and feedback! We are delighted you enjoyed your vacation and thank you for choosing our company as your vacation rental partner. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Fun looking condo. We all enjoyed the condo decks and wrap around porch. It really DID NOT sleep 9 people we had to rent a cot for my 15 yr old grand daughter. Also the sofa bed was not comfortable. My adult kids said it dipped in the middle and the right side had a sharp bar that caused a cut on her leg. Before our stay I called and asked if the kitchen to confirm the type of coffee making and was told by the Host company, My Vaction Haven it had a keurig and working blender. So I bought coffee pods Also looked forward to making fruit smoothies for all of us. That couldn’t happen since the blender did not work. Wish we were told the honest information.

Thanks for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the decks and porch but apologize for the sleeping arrangements not meeting your needs and the sofa bed issues. We’ll work closely with our operations team to address these concerns. Your comments help us improve for future guests.
Close to henderson state park (5 mi).
Quiet and walkable. Unit is a big duplex but not all home are. Good parking. Nice pools.
Can walk thru gates to the beach with some steps maybe too many for some. We preferred riding to Henderson Park as easier on some family to access beach and restrooms— very nice. Teens could even walk to Alvins for shopping for skim boards or other beach stuff. Kitchen roomy and balconies nice. Watch out for sprinklers as ours soaked the outside dining at 5 pm. Too cold ac on 72 when we arrived and needed help with nest thermostat. Caled management and very helpful. Directions booklet might help save them some calks. Will go again to Miramar area and may try this place again!
