About this property

Luxury Beach Home Gulf View|Sleeps 22 in Beds | 1/2 block to beach|Private Pool

Summers Dreams, your luxurious vacation home, is located in a very well-kept, private gated community called Emerald Waters Village in Miramar Beach, FL.

In the spring of 2019 we upgraded several rooms in our home and replaced beds and bedding, among other things. The pictures you see were taken after the updates.

Our beautiful, family-oriented, home is a three-story, 5000 square foot luxury 7 bedroom home - professionally designed to allow for 3 – 4 families to make wonderful vacation memories together – just as our family does. Our home has comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 22 people in beds. 24 guests maximum in our home.

We worked with a professional designer to assist with making our home as beautiful as possible. Custom colors throughout our home gives it an elegant beach vibe. We purchased high quality furnishing and bedding for the entire house. Rohn, Tommy Bahama, Broyhill Pottery Barn, Donna Karen and Ralph Lauren home just to name a few.

A whole house Sonos sound system is included.

We have custom paintings and art pieces from local artists throughout our home. Our super high ceilings make our home feel very spacious.

The well-appointed first floor holds a stunning foyer, crown molding (which is located throughout the entire home), a huge family room with plenty of seating and a flat screen TV, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the patio and pool, dining room (one table holds 8 people and another table holds 6 people, with seating for 10 people on the patio). You read that correctly. We wanted to make sure everyone could eat together if you wanted to! We include a high chair and two booster seats for little ones.

Enjoy upscale amenities in the fully loaded gourmet kitchen: stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops (2 stools at the counter), regular coffee pot as well as a Keurig, dishwasher, ice maker and all the cooking utensils, dishes, glasses and silverware needed to cook a gourmet meal for your family and friends. People have held their family’s Thanksgiving dinner in this spacious area.

Our family-oriented home also includes a regular sized crib in first floor king suite, pack-and-play in one of the 2nd floor king suites and another pack-and-play in the closet of the king suite on the 3rd floor. We also include an umbrella stroller! As well as games and huge bean bags on the 3rd floor.

Also, on the 1st floor is a very spacious and lovely king master suite which has two walk-in closets (heated and cooled where a crib is located), a large flat screen TV and the master bathroom has a wonderfully large walk-in travertine natural stone shower, a soaker tub and a two-bowl granite sink. This is perfect if you have older family members who have trouble climbing steps.

The pool is one of the largest in the area. There is a large 18" deep shelf for babies and toddlers to enjoy with Mom and Dad. The large shelf is often home base for games our kids play in the pool. Our covered patio area allows family to be outside with everyone without being in the sun. We have lounge and Adirondack chairs around the pool.

The pool area includes a pergola area that has a round table with three chairs and a large gas grill. For safety, both patio gates by the pool latch automatically so little children cannot get to the pool area unattended. There is a shower head in the driveway to rinse off the sand when returning from the beach.

Destin has the whitest and cleanest beaches in the world. When you are ready to sink your toes in the sugary sand, there is a private beach entrance that is only a three-minute walk away for Emerald Waters Village visitors. There is a 3-way stop at the corner where you cross the street to our private beach entrance which makes it safer to cross. And the walk is easy for small children.

The second floor has three lovely and tranquil king bedrooms suites with private bath and flat screen TVs. All bathrooms have walk-in natural stone showers and granite counters. There is a pack and play in one of the heated and air-conditioned large closets of one of the king suites. Perfect for little ones. You can plug in a baby monitor in the closet to listen for and watch your baby as well.

The 2nd floor also includes a Billiards room with an 8 foot pool table, leather love seat, 60" SmartTV and 6 chairs. The room is for families wanting to hang out and enjoy some time together. There is a small refrigerator and granite counter top with an ice bucket so you can have cold drinks in the room.

We also provide a large covered patio (11 feet by 16 feet) off the 2nd floor family room that overlooks the pool area. This patio includes a couch and two large comfortable chairs. It's the perfect place to get away and read a magazine or book. Teenagers also love using this balcony when they a break from the little ones.

The 3rd floor includes our 3rd family room that is designed to be kid friendly. We have a king suite bedroom on the 3rd floor as well as a private hall bathroom. There are two darling bunk rooms painted in bright colors. Each bunks room has 4 bunk beds and dresser and closet. There is a Jack and Jill bathroom between one of the bunk rooms and the king bedroom suite. The king bedroom suite is a good size room and is decorated in greens and blues with flat screen TV, dresser and closet. The person(s) in this room can use the hall bath for their private bath.

The large family room includes a flat screen with DVD, pull-out couch, two huge bean bags that holds 2-3 kids (each). We also have a Foosball table. In the hallway is a 16-foot shuffleboard table for competition games. There is a table for four where kids can play cards, color or whatever they want.

If you are still reading our description thank you! Our home is perfect for families of all sizes and has more room that most other rental homes that will prove to be much appreciated by the end of the week. We also rent our own home so you are working directly with the owner on everything. We respond quickly to any and all issues before or during your stay.

Book it!
We LOVED this house so much!! Such a great set up for our big family (10 adults & 11 kids). Lots of space, kid friendly, pool was wonderful. The walk to the beach is short. Our two 3 year olds walked it with no problems every day. We will be booking again next trip!!

Family Retreat.
My family of 15 people were so comfortable in this home that it made for a wonderful vacation for all of us. We had so much fun in the pool and the walking distance to the beach was short. We especially loved the shallow shelf in the pool. It worked out great for the two year old and those of us that liked being able to sit there in the water. All of the bedrooms worked out well for all of the adults and kids. We loved the couch in the living room, it made for great TV watching or lounging. The two dining tables were used a lot and we appreciated having them. The owner was easy to work with. All in all, it was great. Many of us spent a lot of time at Alvin's Island browsing and purchasing vacation items, ankle bracelets, towels, hats, shirts and skim boards. The beach and its sand and the color of the water were spectacular. We would stay here again.

House that fits many people
This property was perfect for 5 families with kids of all ages. The 3 floors came in handy for everyone to have their own space along with all of the extras - pool table, shuffle board, and beach chairs. Walk to beach was easy. The only downside (which is not much) would be that we bought ice daily due to the icemaker not producing ice and also no additional yard space to play yard games.

About the host

Hosted by Gregg Smith

Host profile image
Thank you for thinking about renting our Miramar Beach / Destin home! Our home, Summer Dreams, has been our favorite place to take friends and family. We love making memories that our kids will talk about with their kids.

This is not a normal rental property. We wanted a provide an experience that no one would forget. Our daughters are active in all sorts of activities. So, like you, our lives are very busy. The beach gives us a chance to unplug and relax.

We love the idea of families coming together and making memories. That's why we have a king suite on the 1st floor. It allows you to bring the grandparents! We promise the pictures you see are indeed what is in our home. And they do not do our home justice! It looks even better in person. We bought beautiful furniture and we are confident you are going to love spending time in our home.

We paint twice a year and replace furniture as needed. We try our very best to keep our home looking as new as possible. You will notice the difference.

So relax, have fun, and make some memories.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in such a perfect location. Close to everything you could ask for while on vacation and really close to the beach. We wanted a place that our daughters and family could easily and safely go to the beach and allow the kids to walk around the gated community without having to worry about traffic.

There is a walking/biking path next running along side the beach road (just steps from our gated community) that runs the entire length of the "beach" road. Perfect for walking, biking or running. Lots of dogs being walked and strollers being pushed by active parents.

Our private pool and community pool give every family options when on vacation that you just don't get from most homes. The the south community pool is a 1 minute walk from our home. Teens love going to the community pool to get away from the smaller kids.

We have TWO covered patios you can use to relax and enjoy the smells and sounds of the beach. We have more square feet than most rental homes and with THREE family rooms you definitely have more space than most homes you'll rent.

We have a coffee shop, Alvin's Island, restaurants and ice cream within walking distance from our home. Both Silver Sands outdoor shopping and Destin Commons outlet mall are only a 10 minute drive from our home.

We have over 4 amazing golf courses within a 10 minute drive from our home as well.

As you can see there is a reason people want to vacation in Miramar Beach!

What makes this property unique

We cater to families with children. The first floor king suite includes a full crib in one of the large closets with HVAC vent. You can have your baby close by but still be able to use the bedroom and not wake your baby. One of the 2nd floor king suites includes a portable crib in one of the large closets as well. The closets have heating/cooling vents in them and electrical outlets for baby monitor and a night light.

We also have a high chair, two booster seats and an umbrella stroller. At least 8 beach chairs and a large beach umbrella.

Our home was designed for large groups. The floor plan is very open, with lots of seating for everyone. Including 3 family rooms.

We are right off the beach road with several miles of a wide paved walkway. Perfect for walking/running and checking out the coffee and other shops along the way.
