Adorable Beach Cottage - Private Pool - Short walk to beach

You will discover that Life is Good when you stay at our three bedroom South Walton vacation home near the beaches of the Emerald Coast. Located in the Frangista Beach community, you will be a short stroll away from the beach. Relax by your private splash pool or have dinner on the brick patio after a fun filled day at the beautiful beach. Free umbrella/chair set up included each day (March-Nov). Walk to the beachfront restaurant Pompano Joe's for a quick lunch or dinner. Fantastic shopping; Destin Commons, Silver Sands Factory Stores and Grand Boulevard are just a short drive away. For a tranquil change of pace, visit HarborWalk and watch the fishing boats come in at the end of the day or even fish yourself on one of the many charter options. Or head over to Dewey Destin's on the bay for a taste of old Florida dining and catch some beautiful sunsets over the bay. Come relax at Life is Good.

Cute house that lives big!

For a small cottage this house was amazing! Awesome outdoor spaces and more that enough room for four adults and 2 kids. Location was close to restaurants and the beach. Would definitely stay there again!

Summer Vacation

This was by far the best rental we have stayed at while on our yearly vacation. Only thing I wish we had was a golf cart. But you can’t beat the price for location and private pool overall this was a great choice and I will try and book this home again next summer.

Well stocked home.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this well stocked home. Everything you need is here. We did have an issue with the air conditioning, and it was fixed the same day. The manager was very responsive. The ease and comfort of this home was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Cozy and well furnished home close to beach

The house was amazing. It's cute and cozy. The kitchen was stocked with an abundance of dishes, cups, cookware, and utensils. My family rents homes/condos several times a year for vacation...this kitchen was easily the best equipped of any house I've rented. The house is very close to the beach...about a 5 minute walk down a small residential street. The house comes with an umbrella and two chairs provided for you at the beach. The backyard is awesome for sitting outside with friends or family and either grilling some food or enjoying a few drinks amongst the adults. We were very happy with the house and would surely recommend it to any of our friends heading to Destin/Miramar beach.

Family Vacation

We loved our stay! Everything about this property fit our needs. It is a short walk to the beach, the chair/umbrella service was set up every day, and the pool was perfect for late afternoon enjoyment. We loved every moment and made lots of memories! We would highly recommend this property!

In town for wedding

We enjoyed our stay in Miramar Beach. This cottage is very nice, perfect for small family. It was within walking distance to restaurants, grocery and the beach. Beach access was perfect, our favorite perk of this rental was the 2 beach chairs and umbrella available to us on the beach each day. We used the pool 1 day, but it was small and would rather go to the beach. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans. The bed in master was very comfortable. Would love to visit Miramar Beach again!!!

Not good

We did not stay, the house was filthy. The master bed had a top sheet over the plastic mattress cover and that was disgustingly stained. The owner refunded most of our money, but we were unable to stay due to the cleanliness. Dust an inch

Relaxing trip

Family trip with Adult children. Thankful for the extra beach towels and plenty of bath towels. The blue desk with the charging stations was a plus. The beach was beautiful and the weather cooperated no rain! Plenty of beach time and then games and puzzles. We used the grill twice. Thsnks

Florida Vacation

We vacationed as a family with our 5 year grandson and 2 dachshunds. It was perfect for us. The backyard was great for our dogs. Kitchen has everything we needed to cook and bake. We enjoyed the walk to the beach also. The plus was a swimming pool at the home. Thank you we loved our stay

Average to Good overall

The owners were great about communication. To no fault of theirs...it was college spring break time so was a VERY BUSY and loud area. With that being said, the location was very good for a short 5-10 minute walk to beach. (Hollywood St entrance) The cottage was very cute; however, it was not very clean. Dust, food crumbs on mats in kitchen and bathroom vanities/mirrors werent cleaned well. The cottage had most of what we needed for week stay. Liked that each room had own tv etc. Winn Dixie grocery store 2 mikes aelway, which we used quite a bit. We enjoyed hanging out by splash pool. Pool was on the cold side so kids used sparingly. Was nice to have laundry on site so could go home with clean clothes. The owners are very good to work with and they are addressing the cleaning issue. 😀

Family get away!

When we made our reservations, we didn’t have our plane reservations, because it was to far out to make them. When we did make our airline reservations we needed 2 more days added on Chris and Penny did not hesitate to give them to us. The pool is so kid friendly and the back patio was absolutely inviting. All the seating area and privacy was great. The beach is 2 1/2 blocks away and so is Dairy Queen, we did have a Ice Cream truck that came by every night. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Great place!

Had a great time with our family plus pup. Nice size for us. Cute backyard. We ate outside almost every meal. The pool was small but adequate for our needs. Walk to the beach wasn’t bad. I will say if you have elderly family members the stairs to the beach are a bit steep. All in all a great location for walking to shops and the beach.
