This is the most premium rental I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was better than advertised and the house was spotless. The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful the property and beach are. Highly recommend staying here for larger groups.
Location was ideal. House was well-appointed and had a high level of finishes. Nice, quiet end of the beach with spectacular views and sunsets. The rental company was responsive when we encountered small issues. Overall, the house is elegant, sleek, and an ideal vacation spot. The elevator was essential for one member of our party and made all the difference.

Idyllic setting for family fun at this beach front property
It was a treat to stay with our son and his family, including our 2 and 3 year old grandchildren, at this beautiful property. The house was immaculate and well stocked and the layout worked great for us with plenty of space for eating and playing and bedrooms that allowed for privacy (and napping:-). We loved having access to the golf cart as well as the 4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas that were set up daily for our use. One tip is to leave a personal item on the beach chairs if you don't want them taken down earlier than 5pm. The pool is very small, but was the perfect size for our little ones, and we appreciated that we were able to have it heated it for a fee. The beach was beautiful - not too crowded - and steps away from the house. Another plus was the responsiveness of Alex and his team to any questions we had. We hope to get to return to Shipwatch Palazzo!

Beautiful home, perfect location, and Coastal Retreats took great care of us every step of the way.
We had a fantastic stay at Shipwatch Palazzo in Miramar Beach and could not have been happier with Coastal Retreats Luxury Vacation Rentals.
From the start, their communication was excellent. They sent helpful emails before our trip with everything we needed to know, and they even checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. It’s clear they really care about their guests having a great experience.
The house itself is beautiful and extremely well stocked with everything you could need. One of the best parts is that it’s directly on the beach with easy access just steps away from the beautiful white sand and water. The location is also perfect, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and shops, which made everything very convenient.
Overall it was a wonderful experience and we would absolutely stay with Coastal Retreats again. Highly recommend!
Clean, Kitchen had everything needed and more! Beautiful home!

Thank you Kathy for your review of Shipwatch Palazzo. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay and that you had plenty of room for everyone. We undersand the small pool evalutaion. So close to the beach area, there are limitations as to how big you can go with the property lines the way they are. We see it as a great benifit either way on a hot summer day. Thank you for choosing Breathe Easy. We would love to be your host again anytime. Take care and have a great summer. Your Breathe Easy Care Team
