PRIVATE BEACH w/Snack Bar Pavilion🔹FREE Beach Setup and Beach Tram🔹2 Pools!

🌴Are you yearning for a Beach Vacation? One where you can relax on a private beach and nap to the sound of the surf? Well start packing your bags and head to COASTAL BREEZE RETREAT on Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast.

We would love to host you and your family at our beach home located in beautiful Miramar Beach, just steps away from the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We work hard to provide our guests a FIVE STAR experience every time and would love to show you what Southern Hospitality is like!

You'll find this TOP-RATED, upscale beach villa on a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by rustling palm trees, with NO REAR NEIGHBORS!
Your 5-min walk toward the soft, white sands of our gated PRIVATE BEACH will take you through the beautifully landscaped Emerald Shores community, a sought-after, gated resort, with 2 pools, basketball court, and a tennis/pickleball court.

Welcome to PARADISE!

ABOUT EMERALD SHORES...
Emerald Shores has two entry gates on both Scenic 98 and Hwy 98, giving you easy and quick access to dining, shopping, and local attractions!
PLUS...You'll be just steps away from the white sand and turquoise water found only on Florida's Emerald Coast.

The beautifully landscaped EMERALD SHORES community has shaded sidewalks throughout and offers a complimentary beach tram during peak seasons (mid-May through mid-August).

When you first arrive at the Emerald Shores PRIVATE BEACH pavilion, check in with the attendant to claim your COMPLIMENTARY reserved beach setup (two chairs and an umbrella). This free setup is our gift to YOU and is serviced by La Dolce Vita mid-March through mid-October. We'll let them know you're coming!
At our house, you'll also find a large beach wagon, extra beach chairs, a rolling cooler, a small collection of beach toys, and plenty of beach towels.

Destin Family Rental
House in a private community, which offers two pools. Private beach access, with provide transportation to beach was terrific. This helped with elderly parents and young kids, along with everything you take to beach. House had everything needed to keep kids and adults occupied and happy. Overall great location. Would book again.

Coastal Breeze was Perfect!
We had an excellent stay! The house was open and airy, so CLEAN and welcoming! Our twin grandsons loved the bunk beds; perfect just outside their parents room. What put it over the top were the provided beach towels, laundry soap, dish soap, toilet paper,etc…enough to last our entire stay! No worrying abut rushing to the store to get essentials!! Darlene, the owner was lovely. Working on booking our stay for next year!

A great family vacation rental
The house was clean and a convenient walk to the beach. Everything that we needed (especially for kids) was ready for us when we got there. On top of that, the gated community has two pools, sidewalks and has a back entrance/exit to zip out to local restaurants and grocery stores. Additionally, we coordinated a few baby/toddler items through Babyquip and Darlene was more than willing to meet the Babyquip representative and have everything set up for us when we got there. This made our afternoon arrival perfect so the little ones had a place to eat and sleep when we got there. Book this house, you won't regret it!

About the host

Hosted by Darlene Glaze

Host profile image
Hi - Darlene here! One of my favorite things about being a host is working directly with our guests. I love connecting right up front so I understand what you're looking for in a vacation home and what activities appeal to your family. We continually add to our property as our guests make suggestions or requests. And, we visit the property every 3 months to make sure all the amenities are still in tip-top shape.

Let's face it...we just don't get that many vacations. So, when you stay at Coastal Breeze Retreat, we're committed to giving you a memorable vacation experience. I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with you as well.

You might be wondering why Coastal Breeze Retreat does not have a lot of reviews yet. This is a new property for us and we are fervently working to start earning five-star ratings from our guests...just like our other listings sites!

We would be delighted to have you as our guests and invite you to reach out to us with any questions you might have. - Darlene

Why they chose this property

Why did we choose Coastal Breeze Retreat?
When deciding where to purchase a beach vacation home, we felt the place had to meet three criteria. First, it had to be within walking distance of our own private beach. Second, it had to be in a resort setting. And, lastly, it had to be close to local activities, restaurants, and shopping...after all, we're on vacation!

What makes this property unique

What makes us unique from other beach properties?
We've tried to separate ourselves from other vacation properties by providing first-class amenities and consistently giving our guests a Five Star hospitality experience.

And, since we vacation here as well, we've stocked the kitchen with everything needed to prepare a family meal or entertain our amazing neighbors.
Everything from the furniture, artwork, and bedding have been selected to create a "home away from home".

Our family enjoys games, friendly competition and gathering around to share stories. At Coastal Breeze Retreat you'll find ample opportunities to do just that. With each visit we bring a new game to add to our collection. And each year, we try to add one more "big" amenity that we feel our guests would enjoy.
Being located in a quiet cul-de-sac with no rear-facing neighbors, we like the semi-private atmosphere of our private patio. This area is perfect for outdoor grilling and relaxing with others into the night.
