We’re confident you’ll fall in love with Paradise Cove—and once you’ve stayed here, you’ll want to come back year after year.

Paradise Retreat is located only a short distance from several beachfront restaurants and only a few miles from Destin Commons and Silver Sands. Come see why this beautiful community is a family favorite!

The Bed Setup:

Guest Bedroom 1: King Bed

Guest Bedroom 2: Twin/Full Bunk Bed with a Twin Trundle

Guest Bedroom 3: King Bed

Area Attractions:

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: a choice of water sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping. One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood, and the full array of activities for kids of all ages, and more fun to be found in Destin.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

We come here with the family every year and don’t think twice about staying somewhere else. It’s perfect. We enjoy cooking so we particularly love how much clean, versatile kitchen equipment there is. Feels like we’re right at home every time!

Miramar Beach Fun

House is as advertised. Pool is nice, the heating being included was great. Wife loved it because it was 8-10 minutes away from everything. The beach is walkable from the property. Beautiful white sand and one of the cleanest I have ever seen.
