Under the Tuscan Sun Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey Reminiscent of an Italian manor, Under the Tuscan Sun will leave you amazed. This tri-level palace boasts every nicety, extra and upgrade that one could desire. Not to mention that it enjoys private beach access as part of the distinguished Avalon beach estates. It immediately stands out- towering over Destin with a columned stucco exterior. A pleasant gated courtyard and private walled pool deck with a waterfall welcome you into plush surroundings. Unique and wildly popular stained concrete floors guide you through comfortable bedrooms with palm tree decors. And the first level features a movie room with a plasma T.V and a bar with chilled wine racks. An open kitchen of stainless steel, granite, and chocolate washed cabinets extends out to designer suede couches and dining for 17. Large windows let sunlight flood the room, and a furnished balcony with a grill makes entertaining guests so enjoyable. Home has colossal master suite with private balcony. A granite bar with yet another chilled wine rack lets you enjoy a glass of your favorite wine as you watch the sunset. Walls the shade of the sky on a summery day and warm carved wood furnishings instantly calm you. The bathroom is also stunning with his and her vanities, a glass walk in shower and travertine tile throughout. And the Jacuzzi tub is spectacular, surrounded by columns and a picture window overlooking Destin’s lovely tree line. You’ll also feel comfortable with necessities like a full laundry room, a two car garage and comfortable beds. It’s just like the home you always dreamed of. Under the Tuscan Sun has a great location, too. Hours of beachy bliss are just across the street. And plenty of tasty restaurants, malls, and golf courses are within minutes.

I actually didn’t know what to expect when we got to Under the Tuscan Sun but this house was fabulous, location was amazing, a tiny walk around the corner to private beach access with chair/umbrella rental waiting as you walk into the beach area. The house was as described but sleeping arrangement was even better than I thought, the pull out couch wasn’t the living room couch it was in a private area on first floor so no one had to sleep in the family room area. We had 18 in our party, each room has a bathroom attached to it. Plenty of room and bathrooms for our large family. Check in and out super simple as well. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a rental in Miramar.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Destin. We look forward to hosting you with Newman-Dailey in the future!
The family had a great time . The house was clean, great communication with the host. Plenty of room for family and friends. There was some minor issues. the doors wouldnt stay locked to the master bedroom. The doors would push open when the air-conditioning was on. also mini fridge does not work on third floor, and the outside shower knob is broke, have to play with it to shut it off. And it would have been nice to have some spices available in the kitchen. the outside grill, could have been cleaner. Other then that, we would stay there again, great house, neighborhood, beautiful beach.

Amazing home. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out yet a luxurious family / kitchen space to accommodate our size 18 family. Oversized island & grand dining table gave everyone a place to eat. 3 floors but no worries about the 2nd & top.....theres an elevator! Master suite~~ "life styles of the rich & famous" 📸No autographs please.
Pool was heated and swam in every day @ Thanksgiving time. Nice breeze on 2nd & top Patios. Perfect access to beach... 1 minute walk.....out the door 3 houses to right & we were looking at crystal blue water. Nice quality decking at private entrance perfect for sunset pics. Host company text me before we arrived to connect. Coffee maker gave out, text them, new coffee pot within 15 minutes. Do it. Refresh. Enjoy. We did. 😉
The property was beautiful and very clean. We had a large group and lots of kids. The kids had a blast at the house and it was a great location. Private beach was nice and made it easier watching the kids in the water as our area was not crowded. No issues at all at the house and everything was simple to use. We didn't think we would use the elevator but it ended up being very helpful with all the stairs and children. We had a great time. Worth every penny! Highly recommended for large groups!
We had a crew from 8 months old to 76 years of age. It was great for all of us. Being able to walk to the beach was awesome. Having the private beach also made it great because we were able to keep away from others with the virus concerns looming. We made dinner in the house every night because of the virus and ran into some issues with the stovetop that a previous post had mentioned. It still functioned but it was a little annoying. We loved that they had an ice machine and extra large fridge. We also made use of the grill. We would like to come back when we can walk to the restaurants. The pool is not huge but adequate. Overall, we had a great stay.

Thank you so much for leaving your review! It warms our hearts to know that you had a great stay and that Under the Tuscan Sun was a great place for your large family gathering. We have had the gas stove looked at by our appliance repairman, the clicking noise is caused by excess moisture which can be from a pot boiling over, from water getting in the burner from cleaning or just too much humidity. We are sorry if it caused you any concern, but we were happy to see that you enjoyed the ice machine, the extra-large refrigerator, and the grill. This is a beautiful home with a fantastic location, and we are so glad your family was able to enjoy it. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach soon!

We enjoyed our stay. It was our second time there. We had a couple of issues (one we created). They were immediately taken care of. The stove could use some maintenance of the burners. The dishwasher needs replacement. We liked that the great room had been updated. A nice quiet neighborhood with a quick walk to the beach.
The house was amazing and since we arrived on March 14, we experienced the COVID-19 pandemic situation as it ramped up until the beach closures on afternoon of March 19. We stayed in the house 80% of the time and enjoyed our private pool. We would absolutely recommend this property and hopefully can return and enjoy the beach when things get back to normal!
Tuscan Under the Sun was absolutely beautiful and breath taking, perfect for a large family vacation with all of the extras. It was beautifully decorated fireplace did not work but it still was ok. Needs a few minor repairs. We would stay here again without any hesitation because every person in our party had a great time. Newman-Dailey was great when we called for maintance work they were right there.
The house is stunning , but needs some updating....ie, facade on front falling off, broken furniture at the pool, no cold water in downstairs bedroom.....but overall this is a fabulous property.
Only one toilet was very dirty. Everything else was fantastic! We loved it.

Me, my husband, and our wedding party stayed here while we got married on the beach! It was absolutely perfect, and made for great getting ready pictures before the ceremony!
Thanks so much!

We stayed for spring break and loved the location not to mention the extra amenities that Newman Daily provides with the beach service and free activities. There was a fridge in the garage for extra storage too.
We would definitely stay here again and will use Newman Daily again.

Great Family Home
Home has lots of space for the extended family and the pool was just perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. It does need some attention to the appliances, the refrigerator didn't cool after being cleaned the day before we checked in, not all the burners worked on the stove and the dishwasher was difficult to operate. Would still recommend, but could use some upgrades.

LOVE THIS HOME !!
We just got home. And I'm already home sick for under the tuscan sun !! We've stayed in this home 4 years in a row. We meet our children and grandchildren here every August. This home provides something for everyone. Everyone Hanging out in the family room,while some cook is totally a memory maker. The outside shower is perfect when coming in from the beach,especially before jumping into the private pool.beach access is just across the street. Can't say enough about this home. We'll be back in august. Thanks for helping us make memories.
