Hidden Getaway
Very nice property that is starting to show its age but is well maintained. Aside from the 12-15 minute walk to the beach, overall stay was good. Only downside was noise from upstairs but to be expected in close confines. Would consider staying again.

Perfect getaway!
This property was exactly as described. It was one of the cleanest properties I’ve stayed at, and we enjoyed staying in as much as we enjoyed being at the pool or on the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked and the rental company was great about communicating work being done around the property (didn’t bother us at all) and even called to check on us during the stay. The security at the front gate always greeted us upon entering, which made us smile. We had a wonderful stay and will be returning! Thank you for sharing your home with us! FYI- you’ll need cone shaped coffee filters to enjoy coffee in this beautiful home! ;)

Loved the location of our condo. We were right next to the pool and not far from the beach. The condo was clean and perfect for two kids and two adults. Would stay here again in the future.

Nice property
We enjoyed our stay the week of Memorial Day. The condo is nice and clean. It's located right near the pool and an easy walk to the beach. Really enjoyed the screened in porch. My only suggestion would be the nonstick pan needs replacing and needs cooking utencils for nonstick cookware, not metal ones. Great vacation, we'll be back!

Super Clean & Great Location
We were so pleased with the amount of space & how clean this condo was! I enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning having coffee with the view of the pool. Also, being on the ground floor was so nice as well. The walk to the beach is a long walk, but shockingly we weren’t there for the beach. There is a nice man with a golf cart who will take you to the beach, but it was $25. You can drive your car closer as there is parking spaces along the wooden privacy fence. We were there on a fishing trip. I highly recommend this condo!

Incredible accommodations and super clean!
We had everything we needed to enjoy our week in Miramar Beach. The Hidden Gem was comfortable & beautifully decorated. The AC worked great and kept the cottage feeling cool our entire stay, the beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of extra cozy blankets and pillows in each bedroom closet. The washer and dryer made it easy to keep our beach towels fresh & clean daily and we are returning back home with hardly any laundry. Our family enjoyed the Amazon Alexa in the kitchen to play music while we were cooking and spending time together inside the cottage. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed to make all of our meals. I cannot think of a single thing that could be added to the kitchen. There was a standard coffee maker, a new crock pot, a blender that works great, 4 slice toaster with multiple settings, fridge and freezer with an ice maker. *Things to bring for kitchen: dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, salt and pepper, non stick cooking spray. The master bedroom is huge and could accommodate an air mattress or travel crib. The second bedroom was perfect for our 10 and 12 year old. They said the beds were comfortable and they enjoyed having their own TV. The open living room & dining room area was a great place to gather with our friends. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the screened in porch while our kids loved sitting at the bar and being served through the sliding window from the kitchen. The pool and hot tub were very clean and a nice place to start and finish our day.

Hidden Dunes, hidden facts
Little disappointed with our stay. Location great. Unit spacious and conveniently located to the pool. Considering what we payed for this unit we expected a few extras such as control of the AC, at least an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. TV's not synchronized to the available listing. Bed in master super uncomfortable.

Forever Vacation Rentals

Shannon and I moved from St. Louis, MO to Destin, FL in the Summer of 2011. I have over 20 years in the Property Management field including Vacation Rentals, Multi-Family, and Senior Living. I am also a Realtor with Worth Clark Realty. Shannon is our “go-to guy” and always goes above and beyond. He handles the majority of operations which includes Inspecting and Scheduling Turns, Owners' Statements, Accounting, and helps to oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands-on. Not only are we available to our Homeowners at all times, but we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley (18 y/o) and Jax (8 y/o). Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We support our local animal shelters and rescues. We are thankful for our cat and our dogs (Rocky and Jubilee).

We look forward to our Friday night movies at home with our children, fishing (although we aren't any good at it – haha), church, and Sunday football. We are very family oriented and find that most homeowners become like family to us.

In the Spring of 2016, we expanded our business by hiring Debbie. She is my amazing mom! When it came time to hire someone, it only made sense to bring her on board! You honestly can't find a more caring, loyal, and trustworthy person! Debbie handles all of our reservations and during the summer months, she helps with our inspections. If you ever want to hear a friendly voice and be uplifted, call her!

We can't forget about the rest of our team! EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on our team is important to our success. Our goal is to hire folks with passion, enthusiasm, and motivation to win! We want them to know that no detail is too small, and a happy guest is a repeat guest! There is nothing more rewarding than to receive a compliment about how genuine and hard-working we are! Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!
