Miramar Beach Vacation

The entire rental process went smoothly beginning with reserving the property using VRBO, communicating with the owners, and concluding with spending a wonderful week in the condo at Ariel Dunes II. The condo was exactly as advertised. It was a beautiful place … clean, well maintained, appropriately furnished, nicely decorated, positioned in a great location with an amazing view.

Great Beach Destination

We enjoyed our stay and especially the Fantastic view from the large balcony! View was even better than photos!! Area has plenty of restaurants and is much quieter than areas towards Fort Walton Beach. Host communication and suggestions on restaurants were very helpful. We will stay again when we are in the area !!

The unit was nice with a great view.

I would like to make 1 suggestion. I suggest that there be an extra set or 2 of slip covers for the sofas to be washed and switched out with each stay as you would do bed linens. Fresh clean slip covers would have made the stay a 10/10. I wasn't able to sit on the couch due to the stains and hair left from previous guest. Other than that i would highly recommend and i would return for another stay!

Absolutely wonderful

Nitish is a wonderful host who helped us with all of our concerns and needs before our arrival. He sent us a message with recommendations for restaurants and exciting things to do in the Miramar and the Destin areas. The condo was completely as described...clean, full amenities and breath taking views of the gulf. My family loved everything about this vacation and our host, Nitish was the icing on the cake. Thank you and we look forward to renting your unit again. Dan and Mary
