"Miramar Beach Florida ⛱️ - Loved the location, how clean it was. Very roomy. Will definitely use again. Loved where we stayed.
Nothing except maybe that it took a little while to wait on elevator because of how tall the building is but other than that, perfect. Never been to Florida before this trip and was well worth the drive. Loved the beaches"

"Great location - We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. The location was great with a short walk to beach and had easy parking. I would have preferred that there be no carpet as I have allergies, but that wouldn’t be a deal breaker for this beautiful view. Also, it would be nice to have had smart tv’s to watch some tv at night. Overall, we had a great time and would rent here again."

One of the beds in the twin bedroom was a little squeaky & wobbly, but I ended up sleeping just fine. I’d definitely recommend staying there."

"Great visit with the fam! - Condo was perfect for my family of 4 and my dad. Very clean and spacious. The pools were amazing. Kids had a blast! It never got overly packed for us nor did we have to wait terribly long for the elevator. It was also very quiet. Having gym access was also a nice touch if you weren't too tired from all the fun in the sun. The beach is about a 4 minute walk. It gets pretty packed and folks will start setting up camp on the beach at 630. There are no beach accessories so if you must have any be sure to bring your own. I want to mention that the beds in the kids' room are ideal only for smaller children. An adult would not be comfortable on the beds. The box springs is very noisy and mattress is super soft feeling like I sunk into the bed itself....this did not phase my 8 and 11 year old boys BUT if you had teens/adults looking to stay in that room good luck. My dad said the sofa pull out was comfortable."

"Girl's Trip - We had a blast on our Girl's Trip weekend. The property was so inviting when entering with soft smooth music playing and even had a welcome card and gift on the counter. The property was assessable to everything that we took advantage of for the weekend and the restaurant was great. Our view of the beach was amazing. The only thing that I can complain about is that we had one roach crawling on the wall but since our room was right by the elevator/trash shoot I let that complaint slide. (This time)"

Made it very hassle free as far as not having to go far for anything. The condo was great, very spacious, fit the 6 of us with no problem.

"This Condo has nice accommodations and a beautiful view of the Ocean .You have to bring extra toilet paper, filters for the coffee pot , hand soap, extra paper towels, and you need to buy trash bags that are better quality because the ones they supply are poor quality. Also you clean up after you pay the extra house keeping fee. They had us take out the trash load up dishes etc... We would naturally clean up but to request us to do things after we pay for a house keeper is ridiculous."

Stayed June 2017
"We had a great stay. The unit was in great condition and was very clean. It was larger than I expected. Though not on the water, it has a clear view to the beach. And it is only a short walk. We walked back and forth with our 2 year old twice each day. It was easy, but if you plan to haul much gear, invest in one of those collapsible soft-sided wagons. We saw several and they would have made it even easier.
The balcony is huge. It has a table for 4, with two additional chairs and two additional loungers. It can be accessed from living room and the master bedroom.
We ate most meals in the room. The kitchen has all the table ware, flatware, etc. It has no food items at all, so you will need to bring salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, etc. There were two dishwasher pods provided. We had to buy some more for our 4 night stay.
The washer/dryer combo is a stacked set. They are small, but worked fine. You have to provide your own detergent. "
