The property features a front covered porch, rear screened porch, and a lushly landscaped yard with a picket fence with lavish pool right out back. Very clean! Beach service (Chairs and umbrella) for 2 included!
A VERY short walk to private uncrowded Frangista beach (4 minutes and your toes are in the famous Emerald Waters) with the uncrowded neighborhood pool directly behind home. You can sit on screened porch and watch the kids swim in the luxurious large pool. This charming cottage has 11 ft ceilings and all driftwood tile floors (no carpet). The owner is an interior/kitchen and bath designer and has left nothing unattended - you will be pleasantly surprised by the tasteful vintage decor. Colors are soft and relaxing and no detail has been overlooked including high quality bedding. You will be charmed by the iron beds, cotton quilts and vintage linen fabrics. There is a large LCD TV with surround sound in the gathering room and 3 flat screens in bedrooms as well as DVD in living room. There is a luxury king bed in the master (guests rave), a king in bedroom 2 and queen in the other bedroom. There is also a queen sleeper sofa (new in 2019) and a queen air mattress with integrated air inflation.
You will feel as if you are staying at a Five Star Luxury Bed and Breakfast. The master suite, named La Jardin Suite (the garden suite) has soft pistachio green walls, hydrangea wreath, garden statuary, wrought iron accents, and beautiful art and accessories. It is refreshing and relaxing and perfect in every detail. The secondary suite, named La Petite Suite, is decorated with a Country French cotton quilt and bedding, black iron bed and black distressed furnishings. Beautiful original oils and limited edition prints complete the pleasing ambience of this room.
The kitchen is fully equipped so if you prefer to donning your apron instead of waiting in line at a restaurant, everything you need is there including stainless appliances, a new LG induction range, a new Bosch dishwasher, Bosch side by side fridge with ice and water in the door and and refrigerated filtered water at the sink.
The gathering room is something out of a magazine with it's slip-covered furniture, original oils and vintage touches. The large oval table in a distressed red finish will seat 3-4 plus 5 at the kitchen island.
Your toes will touch the beautiful white sands of the Gulf in minutes. You cross Scenic 98 which is not busy. We are confident if you stay once, you will return, making 'As Good As It Gets' your Florida beach tradition.

My family and I stayed here for our Spring Break trip and had the best time. The house was perfect for 4 of us - being right behind the pool was extremely convenient because my kids love to swim. Pool was heated which was great for March. Super close to the beach, which was also beautiful. House was fully stocked with everything we needed
The house was a great place for our family of 5, with the location a plus.
Check in was great. House was clean and fantastic. The back screened in patio was a fabulous addition and the closeness of the pool made this house one we would rent again!
The cottage in Miramar Beach was great. We have stayed in the area before, but this was the the best place we have stayed so far. The host was very accommodating, and was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. It's located in a nice neighbor that is a short walk to the beach. We hope to come back to this location again, and again.
Our third year staying here, and always exceeds expectations. Great host, great home, great amenities! Ideal for small families. Location is perfect. Neighbors are usually great, but can get loud on Friday and Saturday nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Great location and really cute home. Owners of the property were great to help us out.
Overall it was good. We had problems with the rental company not respondinga to our phone calls or emails but the owner was great. The location was great with beach access and the pool right in the backyard.

Great house
The house was very comfortable and easy to live in. Slept well in king size master bed. I wish the community pool had been larger,it was hard to tell in the pictures. Overall a very nice stay.
This property was as good as it’s listing. Comfortable surroundings that were beautifully decorated. This cottage has everything needed to make for a wonderful stay for our family. I would definitely come back for a follow up stay!

We loved our stay! The cottage gave off a wonderful Beach/ Farmhouse feel with a cozy decor and high ceilings. We cook a lot so got a lot of use out of the stocked kitchen. The owner's small touches made it feel like home. It had all the amenities we needed and short walk to the beach. Would love to come visit again!
This cozy and beautifully decorated beach house has everything you need for a perfect beach vacation! We slept great in the cozy beds and enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen. The owner seriously thought of EVERYTHING to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Just a quick walk and you’re at the beach or the community pool is right behind the house. This is the best VRBO property we have ever stayed in! We will definitely be back!

Perfect place for 2 couples. Home was beautiful, clean and comfortable.
Our renter was very pleasant to work with. All our needs were met and exceeded our expectations. The home was beautiful inside and out. The location was just a short walk to the beach and the pool was right in our back yard. Very refreshing. We so enjoyed sitting on the front and back porches. We would definitely come back again.
I’ve stayed here before. We always come back. The renovation is top notch. Kitchen has everything to cook full meals. It’s really beautiful and the owner is very responsive. So close to beach and the pool is right in the back of house. We love the screened back porch. The chairs and umbrella with your name is the icing on the cake.
Beautiful cottage for our family of five plus one! Community pool was never crowded and literally in the backyard…beach is just a (very) short walk with chair and umbrella service for two. Traffic was heavy, maybe just the time of year…golf carts everywhere, we’ll definitely rent one next trip. Everything was perfect, I didn’t need to bother the owner with anything!
The house is beautiful and we had a fantastic week! We enjoyed cooking several evenings in the gorgeous, well stocked kitchen. We also loved relaxing on the screened in back porch. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our coffee each morning. It was a quick walk to the beach. There is a wagon with beach toys provided, and our grandkids loved playing with them while we enjoyed the included beach setup each day. Thank you! We will be back!
A very nice place to stay, not far from the beach. Be advised that the community is very noisy, we had to call the sheriff on some neighbors due to loud parties and fighting outside.
