Welcome to Rustic Retreat – Your Emerald Coast Escape



Escape to Rustic Retreat Vacation Home—a family favorite just minutes from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of Florida’s Emerald Coast! Designed for comfort, relaxation, and fun, this home is perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking to create unforgettable memories in Miramar Beach.



Outdoor Paradise
Enjoy your very own private heated saltwater pool with a 12’x6’ splash pad—perfect for little ones or as your personal tanning shelf. Relax on poolside loungers, sway in the hammock, or gather for meals at the outdoor dining set. Fire up the grill for a family cookout, all within the privacy of your fenced, pet-friendly backyard.



And the best part? You’ll have a 6-seater golf cart included with your stay—arrive at the beach in just 60 seconds or take the scenic route to local restaurants and shops.



Comfortable & Stylish Interiors
Step inside to find a warm rustic coastal design with plenty of natural light and open living spaces. The living room features a 65” 4K HDR Smart TV, plenty of seating, and cozy décor for movie nights or game-day gatherings.



The fully stocked kitchen is ready for family meals, complete with a unique built-in credenza for celebrating special occasions.



Sleep in Comfort
Rustic Retreat sleeps up to 12 guests with plush memory foam mattresses in every room.



  • King Master Suite with newly renovated bathroom (garden tub, shower, and double vanity)
  • Second King Suite

  • Full-over-Full bunk bed in the common space
  • Queen air mattress available for larger groups


Tile floors throughout (no carpet) make for easy cleanup after a day at the beach.



Prime Location
Located in Paradise Retreat, a private gated community, you’re just 400 yards from the beach—a 5–7 minute walk or a quick golf cart ride.



Two gated exits make it easy to explore:



  • One leads directly to the beach and Scenic Gulf Drive (restaurants, beach access, and local attractions that you can enjoy exploring with the street legal golf cart).
  • The other connects to Hwy 98 for quick trips to grocery stores, Silver Sands Outlets, Grand Boulevard, theaters, or excursions.


Nearby favorites include Pompano Joe’s, Baytowne Wharf, HarborWalk Village, Destin Commons, Publix, Starbucks, and Whole Foods.

Gave it only 4 stars because of the mattresses having deep holes in them. Could use new mattresses but overall a wonderful place to stay. The common area is the best part where a group of 10 had plenty of space to spend the mornings and evenings.

Miramar Gem

This home had the perfect set up for my family. One level home, fenced in backyard with gorgeous pool! We range in age from mid 20s-70s, this home was perfect for all of us & safe for our little dog! The pool has a splash pad which was perfect for older family members (or small children).There’s also a golf cart (seats 6) which was great! We loved having that to go down to the beaches!Contacting the host was easy too & they really seem to care that their renters are happy & enjoying their stay! I would absolutely book this home from this couple again!!Thank You Jessica & Eric from the Pavao/Depina family!!

Rustic Retreat

The Host's Eric and Jessica were the best to work with in organizing our 10 day stay at Rustic Retreat. The house was immaculate upon arrival and the location was great on Miramar Beach. The golf cart was a huge plus as we used it everyday. The heated pool was great for cooler days. You can't go wrong on booking this property!!
