Emerald Coast Escapes, Miramar Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

We absolutely LOVE staying here!! We now have our third vacation booked with the owners!! It has an amazing view of the ocean, 2 pools for the little ones to enjoy (or if you don’t like the sand), and an amazing bar/ restaurant downstairs!! The condo itself is very spacious and has a very homey feel to it!! Oh did I mention, the owners are super sweet and easy to work with

The condo was AMAZING. This did not feel like a vacation rental but someone’s home. The view was stunning. My husband and I along with our son, daughter in law and 16 year old son stayed in and there was PLENTY of room, we never felt like we were tripping over each other! We loved it so much we’re canceling our southern Caribbean cruise for our 30th anniversary next year and coming back! Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us!

We love going to Destin and staying in this condo. Amazing views, close to ocean, 2 pools and very immaculate! Would highly recommend to stay here!!

We are so happy you guys are making so many wonderful memories every year! We love to watch your babies grow up year after year at our place!!!

Perfect place to stay with your family! The pools are great, one is zero entry for the little kids. And the beach is so close!

We loved our experience at Emerald Coast Escapes. The condo was large, designed tastefully and had many useful amenities. Not to mention the amazing view from the balcony! Great location, great property owners, great experience. Close walk to beautiful, private, and clean beaches. What a relaxing trip!

Thanks Kasie! We hope you and Anthony are planning a trip back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your condo!!! It was equipped with everything you need and was super clean!!! I loved waking up to a beautiful view of the ocean!! We will define back!

Thanks Kerry! We can’t wait to have you back! Your pics looked like you guys had a blast & like you made some fantastic memories!

We have stayed at Ariel Dunes with these owners multiple times, for many years now. My girls and I love everything about it. The owners well maintain everything, they take great pride in their condos. The white sand beach is gorgeous here and the views are amazing. Destin is a very laid back relaxing atmosphere with plenty of things to do. I would highly recommend this condo and these owners!

This place is AMAZING!! We haven't been taking regular vacations (outside of visiting family). But after one trip here, we now want to come back EVERY year. Getting ready to book this years trip! This place is spectacular! And you will not find owners who treat you better. They checked when we got there and when we left to make sure everything was perfect!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

You are too kind! We love having guests like you & you make it easy! We look forward to having you guys every year (sometimes 3 times a year haha)...I look forward to your text or call every year :) Cant wait to get your trip scheduled for this year!

Loveeee!! Booking every year for the rest of my life!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

We would be happy to have you and your family anytime & forever!!!

The condo, view, and beach are absolutely stunning. The whole family had a wonderful time and have requested we stay here every year now for our family vacation. The condo is very inviting and makes you feel at home. It is not over the top to where you feel as if you are going to break something very expensive, so that gives you so much ease of mind, especially with little ones. The owners are fantastic and are so easy to work with. I can not wait to return this year.

Erika Halburnt's reply:

We are so thankful that we met you guys a few years back and since you guys have kept coming back, year after year! We love having guests like you guys!

We stayed at this beautiful true ocean view home / condo for a week and it was not long enough! The view was breathtaking, condo was clean and convenient to literally everything we love about destin area including shopping and restaurants! The pool is large and has a great zero entry for the kiddos. We love being able to take a break from the sand and just do the pool. So this is a plus in our book for sure. Overall, Emerald Coast Escapes is the perfect home away from home and the owners are a gem to work with!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks so much! We loved having you & look forward to having you guys back! We are so happy you enjoy it as much as we do!

Amazing condo with an amazing view.. we’ve seen dolphins THREE times so far right outside of our condo, close to shore. The condo itself is stunning and my two little girls LOVED it! The sand is so white and the water is so clear, you can see right through to the bottom. Such a gorgeous area and very kid friendly. I already can’t wait to come again.

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks Kylie! So glad you guys have had such a wonderful time!

Beautiful condo with amazing views! So many fun things to do in the area. Highly recommend!!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks so much, Emily! We are glad you guys had a great time!

We recently stayed here and can't wait to go back!! The condo was amazingly well kept and the owners were extremely helpful and kind! The beach and view were gorgeous and we made so many outstanding memories! Highly recommended!! 

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks so much Sheila! We were happy to have you and your family!

This place is beautiful and we had such an amazing time  :) My beach babies said they never want to leave!! We had a blast!!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thank you Brittney! We are glad you and the kids enjoyed yourself! They obviously are smart, not to want to ever leave!

This unit is amazing. There is plenty of room so you dont feel like you are on top of each other. The view is stunning from the huge patio. The 2 pools are resort style and if you are a beach person there is none better!! The owners are fabulous to deal with! Book your next vacation now!!

Our family had such an amazing time. The condo is absolutely beautiful and Destin is just genuinely a beautiful place. It made me want to pack my stuff up and move here. I'm trying to remember why I live in Ohio! I would totally do it again in a heartbeat...like over and over and over again! Ryan and Erika (the owners) are so wonderful to deal with. If I had any questions, I text her and she was always available. which i really appreciated...I am sure it was annoying at points, since it was our first time! It was our first time, but most def wasnt our last! 

Erika Halburnt's reply:

So happy that you had such a wonderful time, Fridley Fam! You are silly you know you can text and ask as many questions as you want and its never a bother to me! Let me know when you are ready for your trip this year!

Had a great time with my family. Condo was very well kept with amazing views. We did so many fun things and the kids are already making a list of things they want to do the next time. Highly recommended if your looking for the perfect vacation!!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks so much! We can’t wait to have to guys back, for you and your family to make lots more memories!

Just got home and had a wonderful time! It's beautiful and we LOVE Destin's beaches, so we couldn't get enough of the view from the balcony. It's a great location and look forward to staying again!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

Thanks Andrea! Glad you guys had a wonderful time! Thanks for also taking the time to write a review!

It's my favorite place to stay. I love the 2 pools and how close you are to the ocean. I love being able to see the ocean from the balcony and that you don't hear any loud noises. It's peaceful on the balcony.

Erika Halburnt's reply:

So happy to here this Owen! The pools are awesome! I love that there are two also!!!

We love it here! Our friends are the new owners of this great place! Perfect for families, couples, or even a girls/guys getaways! Tons of room in the condo, great views, beautiful pools, and a short walk to the beach! We will DEFINITELY be back!

Erika Halburnt's reply:

We have always loved having you guys! From our old ADI unit...to now this one! we are glad you love this view so much more! (cant beat that 22nd floor view!) Hope you guys make it a yearly event :)
