Great stay!
The property was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The short distance to the beach was wonderful, but also it was very quiet when returning to the house. We loved it!

Awesome Place
The house is just as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. Literally only about 20 steps to the pool. Beds are comfortable. Yard was just right for our pups. Will stay again.

Comfortable stay in Destin
White Sands is a very comfortable, well furnished rental. It is decorated well, bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything you needed. We enjoyed our 3 week stay 11/1-11/21/22. November can be iffy…1st 2 weeks were very nice but the 3rd week turned cold and windy all week. We still enjoyed shopping and the many restaurants. Our little dog enjoyed the small back yard and walks in the neighborhood.. We would recommend staying here. In the summer, it would be nice to have gas BBQ grill.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Gaynor Gray

Host profile image
Originally from England,, we moved to Texas in 1999 and were looking for a perfect beach vacation - we found it in Miramar Beach! The white sandy beaches, blue skies and beautiful sea were more than we could have hoped for. There is so much to do with shopping, great restaurants and pretty towns to visit. Lots of golfing opportunities, bicycle paths on the beach front and family activities to enjoy - we find something new every time we visit - we have been back every year since we found it!

Why they chose this property

We decided to look for a place we could call our second home - we found it in Miramar Palms. It has everything we wanted, peaceful, relaxing and above all, it feels like home - we hope you feel as relaxed and comfortable as we do during your stay. A small, secluded neighborhood with its palm tree lined private street of just 10 homes, we are able to switch off from daily life and truly relax and enjoy our vacation - we hope you do too.

What makes this property unique

Close to the beach, golf courses, shopping and restaurants - we have everything we need to enjoy our vacation and all the comforts of home. Breakfast on the front porch, a glass of wine on the balcony, a dip in the pool and an evening walk to watch the sunset on the beach - perfect!
