About this property
☀️ Vista Maris | Gulf Views & Private Pool | FREE Parasailing ☀️
⭐ More than a Stay™. Elite VIP Experience Package – Enjoy daily FREE Golf, Parasailing, Crab Island Excursion, Sunset Dolphin Cruise, Water Park, Bikes & More Activities EVERY DAY of Your Stay! Up to $1,150 in daily value. (Details Below) ⭐
Welcome to Vista Maris, a coastal retreat designed to bring you closer to the sea. Spanning 5,370 sq. ft. with room for up to 22 guests, this Miramar Beach escape blends timeless elegance with the easy rhythm of Gulf-front living. It's a place for family milestones, beach reunions, and laughter that lingers long after your stay.
Inside, five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms offer plenty of space to spread out, with each room carrying its own character. Private balconies invite salty breezes, the bunk room was made for fun, and the primary suite feels like a private spa with its soaking tub framed by columns and rainfall shower.
The living spaces were built for connection. Gather in the chef's kitchen with double ovens and a breakfast bar, linger over meals at the dining table, or unwind in the game room with a pool table, wet bar, and kitchenette. Even quiet nights are special here, with cozy seating and Smart TVs throughout the home.
Step into the courtyard and you'll find your own boutique resort. A heated pool with a waterfall spa sparkles in the sun, Adirondack chairs invite you to stay awhile, and the grill sets the stage for al fresco dinners. Upstairs, a covered balcony offers additional seating and endless Gulf views that make sunset unforgettable.
With thoughtful amenities like a stand-alone ice maker, and a street-legal golf cart ($50 per day and waiver required), Vista Maris makes every detail effortless. Its location puts you steps from Miramar Beach's turquoise waters and walking distance to Pompano Joe's, with shopping, water sports, and HarborWalk Village all just minutes away.
At Vista Maris, mornings begin with ocean views, afternoons melt away by the pool, and evenings end with the glow of a Gulf sunset. This isn't just a beach house — it's where your best coastal memories are waiting to be made.

About the host
Hosted by Destin Dreamers
Chris & Jamie moved to Destin in 2018 and purchased multiple luxury rental properties. After researching management companies, they started Destin Dreamers in 2018 with the vision of providing guests a vacation experience where they can relax, rejuvenate, and make memories.
This starts with a well maintained home that looks, smells, and feels clean. Our homes go through three inspections before check-in: maintenance, cleaning and final walk through.
For any issues that arise, our team is in the area daily to respond to needs between 8:00 and 5:00 Monday - Saturday, and available for emergencies after hours on Sunday.
Nearly every home has a built-in game room to provide entertainment in the evenings or when taking a break from the beach. Each guest will be greeted within 48 hours of check-in by our onsite ambassador with a gift and greeting.
We are a local, family owned business and are delighted to serve you and help you have a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.
