About this house rental

Summary:

Rustic Retreat is a private Miramar Beach vacation home inside the gated Paradise Retreat community, just 400 yards from private deeded beach access. Sleeping up to 12 guests, the home combines a private heated saltwater pool, oversized 12' x 6' splash pad, included 6-seat street-legal golf cart, fully fenced backyard, comfortable family living spaces, high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs, and beach gear for an easy Emerald Coast getaway.



Walk to the Gulf in about 5–7 minutes or load up the golf cart and make the trip in about a minute. Spend the morning on the sugar-white sand, come home to your own backyard pool, grill dinner outside, and settle in for another easy Miramar Beach evening.



Managed by My Dream Journey, where beach weeks turn into lifelong memories.



The Space:

Welcome to Rustic Retreat, a private Miramar Beach home created for families who want the beach close by without giving up the comfort of their own pool, backyard, kitchen, and gathering spaces.



Located inside the gated Paradise Retreat community, Rustic Retreat sits approximately 400 yards from private deeded beach access and sleeps up to 12 guests across four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The included 6-seat street-legal golf cart makes beach trips, restaurant runs, and getting around the immediate Miramar Beach area even easier.

• Gated Paradise Retreat community

• 4 bedrooms and sleeping accommodations for up to 12

• High-speed WiFi

• Beach gear and wagon included

• Pet-friendly with prior approval



YOUR OWN BACKYARD OASIS



One of Rustic Retreat’s biggest advantages is that beach days do not have to end when you leave the Gulf.



The private heated saltwater pool gives your group its own place to swim and relax throughout the day, while the large 12' x 6' splash pad creates a shallow area for younger guests and doubles as a tanning shelf for adults.



Surrounding the pool, the fully fenced backyard offers loungers, a hammock, outdoor dining space, and a propane grill. It is just as comfortable for an afternoon between beach trips as it is for dinner outside after sunset.



Pool heat is available for an additional fee and should be arranged before arrival.



PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS + INCLUDED GOLF CART



Rustic Retreat is approximately 400 yards from Paradise Retreat’s private deeded beach access along Scenic Gulf Drive.



Guests can make the walk in roughly 5–7 minutes, or use the included 6-seat street-legal golf cart for an even easier trip. When beach chairs, towels, kids, and gear are involved, the cart quickly becomes one of the most appreciated amenities at the home.



Paradise Retreat includes gated access toward both Scenic Gulf Drive and Highway 98, giving guests convenient routes toward the beach as well as groceries, shopping, dining, golf, and Destin-area attractions.



OPEN-CONCEPT LIVING DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES



Inside, Rustic Retreat combines a warm coastal design with an open layout that keeps the kitchen, dining area, and living space connected.



The living room includes comfortable seating and a 65-inch 4K HDR Smart TV, making it an easy gathering place for movie nights, sports, or quieter evenings after the beach.



The fully equipped kitchen has the everyday essentials needed for breakfasts, snacks, lunches, and full family dinners. A built-in credenza adds useful serving space for meals, celebrations, or simply laying out food when everyone seems to be hungry at once.



Tile flooring throughout the home makes cleanup easier after sandy feet and busy beach days.



COMFORTABLE SLEEPING FOR UP TO 12



Rustic Retreat sleeps up to 12 guests with four bedrooms, additional sleeping space off the main living area, and seven total beds.



• Primary King Suite: King bed with private ensuite bathroom

• Second King Bedroom: King bed

• Queen Bedroom: Queen bed

• Bunk Bedroom: Twin-over-Twin bunk bed

• Common Sleeping Area: Full-over-Full bunk bed just off the living room

• 2 full bathrooms



This layout gives families and groups a lot of flexibility. Adults can spread out across the king and queen bedrooms, while the two bunk areas work especially well for kids, teens, cousins, or another family traveling with the group.



BEACH GEAR INCLUDED



Beach days should feel easy, so Rustic Retreat provides beach gear and a wagon to help with the short trip to the Gulf.



Load up the wagon, hop on the golf cart or make the walk, and spend less time worrying about logistics.



PET-FRIENDLY MIRAMAR BEACH RETREAT



Approved pets are welcome for an additional fee. The fully fenced backyard makes Rustic Retreat especially convenient for families who prefer to bring their four-legged family members along instead of leaving them at home.



All pets must be approved before arrival.



WORK-FROM-BEACH READY



High-speed WiFi makes longer stays and remote work much easier. Whether you need to answer emails, join a meeting, handle schoolwork, or stay connected while spending a few extra days at the coast, Rustic Retreat supports both vacation and real life when necessary.
