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.

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!!

The Complete package!

If you're looking for a family friendly house that includes everything you need for a relaxing stay, this is the place! Bedrooms are spacious, the house is recently remodeled and the backyard with your own private pool is a great place to come relax after a long day at the beach. The property is super dog friendly. If that wasn't enough all the extras you can need for the beach are provided not to mention the included golf cart to enjoy and explore the main strip! We'll be back!

Wonderful Home

We've rented this home a few times and will keep coming back. The home is spotless and very well maintained with all of the amenities we could think of. There's plenty of space in the fenced yard for our dog to both run around a bit and to potty. The pool is wonderful and having the golf cart to run out to eat or head to the beach is a definite plus! The host is very responsive to any questions that arise. Loved every minute of our vacation here!

Excellent Safe Location!

We had such a great time at the Rustic Retreat which should be called Beautiful White Sands bliss! The location was central to the best restaurants, shopping and I cannot say enough about the beach which was stunning! The home is located in a gated community and we felt very safe. The home had enough space for us to not feel like we were crowded and the decor was beautiful. We were lucky to find such a beautiful home. We cannot say thank you enough for the memories we made!

Wonderful Stay!

Beautiful rental property just minutes away from the beach by either walking or driving the golf cart that included with the rental. Everything matched up with what was listed online. The hosts were responsive and provided simple and clear instructions from check-in to check-out. This place will stay on our radar as a must stay when we come back to the Emerald Coast!
