Costa del Sol A2 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Do you hear that? The beach is calling! We all seem to be tuned into its mesmerizing surf song yet rarely have the opportunity to answer! Thus the reason for Costa del Sol A2- its so close to the emerald waves of the Gulf Coast that you’ll feel completely immersed in all its wonder.
Not only is Costa del Sol A2 incredibly close to the water’s edge, it brings the outside in via its very well done beach decor scheme. As soon as the front door opens you’ll be thrilled with the clean tile floors accented by modern tones of teal and tan, designer furnishings with a shabby-chic finish, and coastal-inspired art. Also on the entry level is the open kitchen that boasts a beautiful slab of granite counters and all the accoutrements any good cook would need. Beyond the kitchen and living room is the middle beachfront porch- one of three! Each level has furnished balconies with views so perfect you’re sure to daydream about it later.
Apart from its idyllic decor and spot directly on the beach, Costa del Sol A2 is nearby to lots of great shopping, restaurants- including local favorite Pompano Joes, and golf courses...if you can pull yourself away from its mesmerizing balconies that is!
Per Homeowner Association rules; absolutely no tents or canopies are allowed on the beach.

Our stay was great. It was our 10th annvsry and even though it was cool and windy the accommodations were perfect. Far enough down the beach removed from the chaos and close enough to the stores. Hostess kept us informed every step of the way. Extremely pleasant and easy to deal with. Thanks

The location is in the heart of shopping and eating and most of all the beach is just steps away, easy access, with beach chairs setup at the water! Convenient!

Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We strive to provide a great experience for all our guests, and reviews like yours help us continue to improve. Thank you for choosing our establishment.
Wonderful location and property management was outstanding. The beds wear comfortable and the property was clean. I am giving it 4 stars as there are a few maintenance issues. The upstairs bathroom shower faucet is loose from the wall, the downstairs laundry room had cockroaches swarming out side st night and several dead inside. They were quick to fix the upstairs bathroom fan that was not working and the living room curtain rod that has come loose from the wall.
This is a beautiful two bedroom condo. Plenty of room to spread out. There is a full kitchen. The beach is absolutely beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay at Costa Del Sol A2. It was very clean and exactly as pictured on the listing. We enjoyed being steps from the beach! The beach setup was also a plus! We would definitely book this condo again!
Amazing location, right on the beach. The place was very clean and comfortable. Outstanding view from the living room and master bedroom. Beach chairs were a very nice perk and there’s a beachfront bar just a short walk away. Parking was convenient right in front of the unit. No complaints.

Property was very nice, great location. The only issue is the back sliding glass door out to the beach. You must leave it unlocked, as it’s the only access for you to the beach. It would be nice if there was a way to secure your items and just the place in general while at the beach. Not very comforting.

property location is excellent. property itself was not in the best shape. bugs and dirt in the kitchen light fixture, plumbing was shoddy and the laundry room was a moldy dungeon. That said the beach view is amazing.

There wasn't any big complaints just small things like rusty door knobs, old refrigerator and some old guy showing up unannounced and being very rude about "where we put the trash can outside".Its supposed to be a private beach but there is a public access next door and we constantly had to tell people that weren't staying there to not sit in our chairs.We tried to use the electric grill but when i turned it on there was so much grease in the bottom it smelled really bad and almost caught fire.The outside porch lights are Red. Couldn't see anything at night. No outside light downstairs
This townhouse was perfect for our family of four and the views were just stunning! The decor is charming and the entire place was spotless when we arrived. The direct access to the beach and the daily beach service umbrella and chairs made it so convenient to run back and forth for items we forgot or to grab a snack. Once we arrived we didn’t want to leave to go anywhere else!
The location in Miramar Beach was a little calmer and quieter than Destin, which we preferred, but was right across the street from a beach shop and ice cream, and minutes from amazing restaurants like Pompano Joe’s, Fat Clemenza’s, and the Surf Hut, so we didn’t feel we were missing anything.
I would highly recommend this house for those who want to spend a lot of time on the beach without intense crowds, and who don’t mind driving 15 minutes into Destin.
We had a great time at Miramar and the location was excellent for a family of 4! The only issues we had was that the living room furniture needs to be replaced- the sofa was broken down and uncomfortable and the the 2 chairs had stains on them. There was also a musky smell in the house which did improve once we opened the house up. Another recommedation would be to update the upstairs bathrooms which were really outdated. The view was amazing, right on the beach, and it was within walking distance to restaurants and right across the street from an Alvin's Island gift store!

Thank you for taking time to let us know about your recent stay at Costa del Sol unit 2. We were pleased to see that you were well served by the excellent location and the fantastic gulf front view. We were sorry to learn that you were not pleased with some of the furnishings. As you might imagine, furniture in rental properties get a lot more “wear” than your furniture at home probably gets and we don’t always have time to have them steam cleaned when we have constant rental turn-over. But we have taken your suggestions about furniture and other updates and will discuss them with the owner. Thank you again for your input, and we look forward to hosting you again at the Beach!
Overall a nice place to stay at the beach. We very much enjoyed the condo and it’s clean and well furnished. Everything we needed for cooking and entertaining was available. The master bedroom balcony was a super plus. Could use a few repairs, specifically, the patio door lock upstairs and towel rack in master bath. Additionally, I would have felt safer had I been able to lock our patio doors in the back from the condo to the beach. While at the beach, we were required to leave the door unlocked and I didn’t especially care for that but we had no issues so it was fine of course. The neighbors were polite and no noise issues. Parking is tight so be prepared for that!

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay at Costa del Sol A-2. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed this wonderful unit and its incomparable location on the beach! The patio door lock and towel rack have been addressed and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for your review and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
We were pleased with the property. It was clean and comfortable for our family of 5. There was good communication from the property management company. We had an issue with the kitchen sink and maintenance came promptly, were very courteous and got it fixed quickly. There is a washer and dryer in the lower level which is nice, but you do have to go outside to access it.
The beach is listed as a private beach, but the space is not respected as such by other beach goers and not really much to do about that so at times it felt like our beach space was compromised.
Before the last day of our stay, we received a text offering to extend our visit one more day to which I promptly responded "yes please" and followed by agreeing on the price for the extra night and I once again agreed and confirmed. The next day I received our check out email so I text the property manager if there was anything else I needed to do to extend our stay as we had texted about. They then redacted the offer and said the property was no longer available. Overall, still a good stay and property.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Miramar Beach. We are so sorry about the confusion on extending your stay. There was a miscommunication on our end and after investigating, we found the text from you was somehow missed and a guest booked this unit for arrival on the day of your departure. We have modified our procedures so this will not happen again. We look forward to hosting you with Newman-Dailey in the future!
The location and the property are excellent. The beach front access and the view were fantastic. 2 chairs and an umbrella get setup on the beach every morning. It was quite and relaxing even during spring break.
There is however a lower floor where there is a laundry room (Picture 9 of the picture deck provided). It smelled very moldy to the point you can smell it on the main floor and the rest of the property. We tried to keep the property ventilated so it won't smell too bad. The water spigot outside does not work (picture 12). We had to ask the Neighbours if we can use their spigot to wash our feet before going into the property. Other items need to be replaced such as the beach chairs, washer and dryer. Bring your own beach towels (none are provided). Also, if you are planning on cooking at the property, no community pantry is available. I guess all the items left behind gets thrown away after each renter.
The property manager were very professional, responsive, and punctual.

Thank you for taking time to leave your review of Costa del Sol A2. We were so excited to see that you felt the location and property were excellent and that you really enjoyed the owner-provided daily beach set-ups. We agree the lower level that is designed as a laundry area, has a musty odor. This is a common problem with beach level and beach front properties because of the high humidity, especially after a lot of rain. We were able to replace the dryer and have the outdoor shower repaired the week following your departure. Thank you for bringing them to our attention. We hope guests understand that the lack of any pantry items means only one thing….we take your safety seriously and we never leave anything from one guest to another for sanitary reasons. We have never furnished beach towels as it is cost prohibitive to constantly replace them. We are happy to hear that our staff were professional, responsive, and punctual when you contacted them, as those are our goals in regard to customer service response. In the future, please feel free to contact us directly for any local advice about accommodation. We have been helping families make vacation memories in the Destin area for over 38 years!
My best friend and I come every year, same beach (Marimar) ,
this was our first stay at the property. great location. And all in all we had a wonderful stay.
There were little annoyance but easily overcame.
1. Main water line broke while there. So no water for 1/2 a day, once water was restored it came out brown for several hours…
2. We got a text 2 days before leaving that that said our thermostat informed them that our battery was low and that someone was coming by and that we didn’t need to be there. I had a little problem with this, since all of our cash and jewelry was out. So I had to leave the beach to go back and put away everything.
3. An hour after the battery was changed, I got another text saying someone need to come in and change the filter. I replied back, why didn’t you change the filter when you were in there the last hour to change the battery.
4. Vacuum on site needs to be replaced. It smelled terrible and didn’t vacuum anything.
5. The pans need to be replaced. Non were flat at the bottoms and Teflon coating peeling…
Regarding our stay.
Beds were comfortable, we are at the beach 10 hours a day, reading so this unit provided most of what we need. Place to sleep, cook, eat and convenient. And beach service is a must and wonderful add to this rental.
says 2 parking spaces, but there is really only one. If you park at A2 in front of unit and a car is in A1 and a truck is in A3, you will be trapped in for hours…

Thank you for taking time to leave your review. We certainly appreciate your kind comments about Costa del Sol’s fantastic beach location and that you found it to be a wonderful stay. Even though totally out of our control, we are so sorry that the county water line broke during your stay. Unfortunately the technicians who handle our locks and thermostats are different
from the contractor hired to change the HVAC filters every month. Even though you felt it was an inconvenience, I’m sure you’d agree that it was better than having a problem with the air conditioning during your stay. We will be doing a thorough inventory during the winter and will certainly pay close attention to the items you mentioned in your review. Again, we appreciate your input as it helps us do a better job moving forward. We hope to see you again soon at the Beach!
