Location was great, but house was dirty.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was dirty upon arrival, towels on the floor and beds slept in. We had a 4pm check in after a long drive and we couldn’t get settled because the house had not been cleaned. The management company handled it well, they brought us clean sheets and towels for that night and had a cleaning crew come out the next day. I’m sure this doesn’t happen often, but it was just kind of a bad start to our trip. The house itself was in a great location, short walk to the beach.

Vacation and looking forward to our next stay
Home was super nice. Great location, would have been nice to check in a little earlier being we had an early AM flight arrival, but in order to keep the house so clean; it's totally understandable... Looking forward to our next stay!

Family get away
Very nice house and area. Incredibly quick response from the Owners/Property Manager. The only miscommunication was about the beach chairs/umbrellas available at the beach. I thought they were included with the rental but they were extra. The house has some beach chairs and umbrellas you can take and use on the beach but you need to set them up outside the rental umbrellas/chairs area. Basically right next to them. Really no big deal. The other thing to know is there are no spices in the house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall very nice place to stay. Everything functional as expected. Lots of places nearby for your needs: Publix and Dollar Store very nearby. Beach is close. The floors could have used more cleaning. Walking barefoot make the bottoms of my bare feet very dirty. Otherwise spotless. Everything else seemed clean and ready to use. Worth recommending!

Nice!
This house looks just like the pictures! So if you love the pictures you’ll love the house. We were very pleased with the house and loved the gated community. The house is very close to the community pool and you have a straight shot to the beach, which is just a short, enjoyable walk. We would definitely stay there again!

No working refrigerator for almost the whole week
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our refrigerator was out of coolant for almost the whole stay and they only brought in a working one the day before we left. Food spoilage was a big issue. Quite an inconvenience for a family with two small children. No real apologies or offers to reimburse for parts of our stay. Not a great experience. House was nice enough otherwise.

Absolute oasis- beautiful, spacious one level home that puts you in mind of a tropical getaway! You are 30 second walk from one pool and a 2 minute walk to the other. The private beach entrance is about 2.5 blocks away but it’s a straight walk. Can’t wait to visit again!

Lovely home to rent!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property with our family of 6 on our travel to Miramar for a family wedding. It was very clean and spacious for 6 of us. The location was great! We also enjoyed the short walk to the beautiful beach. Only two suggestions would be to include an air freshener in the welcome pack ( everything else was very useful). The house may have been closed for a while and needed a bit of fresh air. Also, the futon was broken when we arrived - which we reported- but it needs fixed. We didn’t need it for sleeping or sitting so it wasn’t a problem for us. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Miramar!! Thank you!

We had a great time. The house was absolutely beautiful. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The neighborhood was great, we had no issues during our stay. There was a bottle stuck in garbage disposal, be we removed that with no problem. The only issue we really had was not being able to connect to wifi, but we made it work. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall Great Experience
This is a great location to the beach! We really enjoyed the ease of catching the golf cart shuttle to and from the beach everyday we were there (even with our wagon that contained all of our beach supplies). Additionally, having private access to the beach was definitely a plus. The only “downside” was the kitchen supplies felt very hodgepodged together - like it was supplies the original homeowners or previous guests didn’t want anymore. Also, the house is a little outdated, but the beds and linens were great! Be sure to read the “check in guidelines” on the app - you have to pick up the arm bands to access the beach and pool. There are no details on where to find the pick up location (which is in the cabana on the beach with the sign “Emerald Shores” - NOT in the neighborhood). Also, the fee is $30 CASH - the app says $20. Highly recommend this place!
