About this property

Paradise - Family Friendly - WIFI - Gulf View - Beach Service Included

Location: Amalfi Coast Resort, Scenic Gulf Drive, Miramar Beach, Florida (one mile west of Silver Sands Outlet Mall on Scenic Gulf Drive).

Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom, sleeper sofa, plus bunk area, sleeps 6, and 2 full baths

Want to stay in a place that arks around a tropical lagoon on one of the highest elevations on the Emerald Coast? If so, then you have got to try our condo at the Amalfi Coast or at least our Florida version of the Italian original. Barefoot by the Sea sits on eight and one half acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on Scenic Gulf Drive. The elevation here was created by an old dune which was used by mariners to mark this part of the beach from the adjacent flats. The gated beach access across the street from the Amalfi Coast takes full advantage of this height with an old fashioned Observation Gazebo which sits above the staircase that leads down to the beach. The condo complex wraps around twin swimming pools which are elevated above a natural lagoon with a festive fountain. A graceful, arching pedestrian bridge from the pool area crosses over the lagoon and past the palm trees to take you to the beach. The simultaneous views of the twin pools, lush landscaping, lagoon and grassy lawns with the gulf in the distance are quite stunning. Barefoot by the Sea is one bedroom with two baths, fully equipped kitchen, open dining and living areas, a hallway cove that includes bunk beds, washer and dryer as well as the covered balcony.

Rental not available to vacationing students or singles under age of 25. No smoking and no pets.

Our condo shares one thing in common which is a fantastic location on Miramar Beach. Located half way between Destin and Scenic 30A in South Walton you have the best of both worlds so to speak, due to its conveniently centralized location. Scenic Gulf Drive has beachfront dining just minutes away from the Surf Hut, Whale's Tail, Pompano Joe's, Royal Palm Grill and Crab Trap. The largest Designer Outlet Silver Sands, is also located in Miramar Beach. A multitude of restaurants, shops, galleries and live entertainment abound nearby at Sandestin, Baytowne Wharf and on Grand Boulevard.

Brand new state of the art Sacret Heart Hospital within two miles with 24 hour emergency and helicopter.

Great view and condo had everything!!

The minute we walked into the condo and looked out the patio door, we knew we were going to have a great week! If we weren't sitting on the balcony enjoying the view, we were either at the pool or the beach. Beach service was great and the condo had absolutely everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved our 2nd Year with Mark and Sally

New patio furniture was a nice attractive touch and really distinguished this unit. This is our "go to" place to stay when we go the beach. Will always check Mark and Sally's place for availability. Price, location, cleanliness, friendliness and helpfulness of owners, the Almafi resort itself is incredible, beach access, free chair/umbrella...it all adds up to the perfect place for me and my family.

Great Location

We really loved the location of this property (right across from the beach) and the resort had nice green space and pools. The owner was responsive to our questions before and during our stay. Negatives for me were the furniture seemed pretty worn out, the towels could use a refresh and although the appliances were old they functioned just fine. Overall we were happy with everything and felt we got a good value.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Sally Curran

Host profile image
We are a military family and retired in the area after serving 22 years in the United States Air Force.

Why they chose this property

We knew the Emerald Coast and this little slice of paradise was our 'home' after my tour to Eglin AFB. We met here and we love the powder sugar beaches of the area, swimming, boating and fishing. Destin is 'the Luckiest Little Fishing Village' so we knew immediately that we would put down permanent roots here. We want to share our home and treasured beaches with our family from Illinois, friends and visiting guests. We hope you can visit and fall in love with our beautiful paradise just like we did so many years ago!

What makes this property unique

The location of our condo will take your BREATH AWAY!! Our second floor unit is safe and secure, provides spectacular views, away from potential pedestrian noise from pool and the street. The resort is gated for your security and now offers a fitness center and firepit. This stretch of Miramar Beach doesn't have unsightly high rises. It provides for a relaxing vacation.
