About this house rental

Located in Miramar Beach, this lovely house for R 13,950 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Want to walk out of your front door into the sand? Want breathtaking ocean views from every floor? Want to avoid insanely-crowded beaches and impossible-to-find beach parking? Want to be close to premier shopping, dining and activities? Need sleeping capacity for 22 people? Although your list sounds impossible, Shipwatch’s extremely unique location checks all of your boxes! Unlike most of our area’s homes that share super-crowded public beaches with thousands of other vacation rental properties, Shipwatch is set on a very private street with no public parking that dead-ends into the sugar sand beaches that made Destin famous. The result? Unlike our elbow-to-elbow public beaches, Shipwatch’s neighborhood beach access is only practical for the very lucky visitors to the 28 homes on its street. With Shipwatch, there’s no need to load up the hot car to get to the beach or drag a cooler for blocks during a steaming Florida summer only to have to fight with thousands of other visitors for your spot in the sand. With Shipwatch, leave your car in the driveway. Simply walk out the back fence gate directly onto a neighborhood beach access. Yep, at Shipwatch you are only 30 seconds away from one of the least crowded, most-rewarding beach experiences possible along Florida’s famous Emerald Coast! By being adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll be able to genuinely enjoy our amazing ocean while on the beach; smell and hear the ocean while grilling next to Shipwatch’s (seasonally heated between October and April) pool, and soak in the amazing ocean views from every one of Shipwatch’s floors. Located on a quiet road off of Scenic Gulf Drive (which is Destin and Miramar Beach’s premiere beach area), Shipwatch truly offers the best of both worlds: central to activities, dining, and the Gulf’s largest premium outlet mall, yet away from the millions who visit our area each year. Trust me, this combination is nearly impossible to find. Not a worn out rental. Recently renovated Shipwatch features quartz counters, stainless appliances, designer furnishings, premium mattresses and new furnishings...all in a fun, spa-chic style! Shipwatch offers a first floor king suite, three second floor king suites, 2 bunk rooms and a third floor widow’s watch with stunning ocean views that offer daybeds for a whopping sleeping capacity of 22! You've never paddleboarded? Well here's your chance! Shipwatch includes two free inflatable paddleboards. (The inflatables are more stable and make it much easier to learn.) This new-to-the-market property will certainly book soon! Don’t settle for a far-too-typical crowded beach experience! Reserve your preferred dates for Shipwatch...and it's almost impossible-to-find location... before it’s too late! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Airport Distances: Destin FL (VPS) - 22.6 miles Panama City FL (ECP) 44.2 miles Pensacola FL (PNS) 61.2 miles ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipwatch Bed, Bath and Sleeping Layout: First Floor : Bedroom 1.

Because the property is extremely heavily booked we are unable to offer early check ins, late check outs, early parking or luggage drop offs. NOTE: If you would like to reserve VRBO more than 11 months in advance, you must use the VRBO website, rather than the VRBO app. The VRBO app only shows the calendar for up to 11 months which means that it can only be used for reservations less than a year away.

Sorry, no exceptions. NOTE: Sorry, no pets. No emotional support animals (ESA). No exceptions. Many of our Guests have pet allergies and rely on us to provide a pet free environment. Bringing a pet or an emotional support animal (ESA) is a violation of your booking agreement that will result in the cancellation of your reservation without refund. NOTE: The property only has two exterior cameras. One faces the driveway and the other faces the trash area. The cameras are only capable of recording the exterior of the property (that are publicly visible anyway). The cameras are not capable of seeing the pool, pool area, or property's interior.

Todd was extremely helpful and was always quick to answer any questions we had. We got married during our stay and it was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was a great location, right next to the beach.

We had a group of 17 and everyone had a comfortable place to stay. The rooms and bathrooms were a good size. A few minutes walk to a private beach was a plus!! Kitchen was well stocked. It was clean and the paddle boards were super fun! I do think some of the pictures are misleading. There is a TON of construction going on and a giant house being built and blocks the “ocean view” and there was definitely some photoshopping done around the pool area. There is a house right next door and the pics show it as open space. So the lack of any type of view was disappointing since it talks about in the description. Overall, we had a great time!

Loved this house! It had everything we needed for a nice beach getaway with friends. Beds were amazingly comfortable. Short walk to the beach. Pool was definitely a bonus!

Large home with nice set up of 2 bunk rooms and 4 king suites. Steps from the beach which was just wonderful! Great communication from owner— second year I have rented from him. Very responsive maintenance team for minor issue. Well stocked kitchen. Washer dryer worked very well. Only suggestion is bring board games for kids on rainy days as TV options are limited.

The home itself was very nice. The layout was great for our group, and we loved being so close to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool, although it was smaller than expected. Our issue is that the photos and descriptions we saw online when we booked were no longer accurate at the time of our stay. Between our booking and our stay, a house was built that blocked the "panoramic ocean views" pictured and described in the listing. The quiet neighborhood street they described had become a loud, crowded construction zone, and we had construction debris falling on the property and on us while swimming in the pool. We don't hold the owners responsible for construction next door, but we are upset that we were never notified of the change prior to our stay or offered any compensation for the discrepancy between what we purchased and the reality of the property now. In fact, while they rightfully reduced the cost of the house for future rentals (we paid more than $1500 more than if we booked the same week for the same number of days next year), we weren’t offered any kind of similar rate reduction. That panoramic view and peaceful street were expensive and didn't exist when we got there. As of now, they've updated the aerial photos, but the interior photos online still show and describe the panoramic view. Please be aware, those descriptions and photos are no longer accurate. We did try contacting the property owner and got nothing more than an autoreply back.

We all had a wonderful time during our stay here! We booked this house back before it had any reviews so we took a gamble. We are so glad we did! The short walk to the beach and the private pool was the best part! We used the paddle boards that were at the property as well. We had plenty of space for our guests and it was great to have several bathrooms for that many people getting ready in the morning. Everything felt very clean and the communication was great. We were also within 10-15 minutes of walking distance to several stores and restaurants, which was very helpful. We would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here. However the ac went out on the second floor half way through our visit and it was really uncomfortable. The owner answered promptly though and had it fixed within a couple of hours. The pictures on the website depict an easier path to the beach from the house but now there is a new house being built that somewhat inhibits the pathway but still not a huge issue. Enjoyed our stay and would come back.
