Shipwatch Palazzo, Miramar Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

he house location was perfect and close to everything. The house itself was in very good shape, there were some spots of water damage on the outside but nothing the hindered our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and updated. There were two complaints about the mattresses in each bedroom on either side of the laundry room, they were said to be hard and slightly uncomfortable. The kitchen was phenomenal, all of the pots/pans/bowls/etc that you could need. The front load washer and dryer were quiet and work like a dream. The elevator was extremely helpful, as we did have older (70+) family members use it. The extra fridge came in handy and the circulating fans in rooms was a nice touch.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Hi Robert, we are so delighted that you found Shipwatch filled all your needs and comforts during your stay with us. We will mention the mattress issue to management for consideration. We enjoyed being your host for the week and do hope you will come back to visit again soon. Take care, and have a fun, safe summer. Your Breathe Easy Care Team.

Best trip ever! Easy breezy From check in to check out. The home was perfect as was the location. Could bike anywhere we wanted and just walked out the back door to the beach. State park 4 miles down the road for those that want to hike or bike and access to the beach and a lake. Just beautiful! A week isn’t long enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Oh Tonya! Your awesome review of Shipwatch Palazzo was over the top. We are so happy that you found your stay with us "easy breezy" from check in to check out. It sounds like you were able to enjoy all it has to offer for a beach vacation. We appreciate you choosing BER and look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon. Thanks again, take care. Your Breathe Easy Care Team.

Our work group of 9 ladies could not have been happier! We LOVED everything about this beach house: check in/out instructions were clear, good communication with property manager, plenty of space, very clean, beautiful view/right on the beach, super close to outlet stores, groceries,& restaurants, included chair/umbrella setup each day with plenty of additional chairs available in the downstairs storage area, 2 car garage for ease in parking, access to 4 bicycles. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend Shipwatch Palazzo! :)

Stayed a week on the beach with a house in great location. Lots of space for everyone

Hi friend! Thank you for taking the time to review Shipwatch Pallazo. We appreciate you choosing Breathe Easy Rentals for your visit and certainly hope that you were able to create some great memories with your friends and family while here. We hope you will keep us in mind when you decide to take another trip to the beach. Have an awesome summer, and stay cool. Your Breathe Easy Rental Team

For our family of 13 this was the perfect place! So many great features its hard to name. Most important: the home is right on the beach! No crossing roads or making certain to haul everything in one trip. We utilized the chairs that were already set up on the beach so getting everyone to the beach was simple. Can't begin to explain how important so many bathrooms are with 13 people! The home itself is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal as well as prepare sandwiches. The property is located near shopping, grocery stores and lots of restaurants. The management team is great! They checked in to make certain we had everything we needed and to answer any questions during our stay. overall this was a wonderful experience and I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again.

We are delighted that you had a great Golf trip while staying with us. We appreciate you choosing BER and look forward to your next return to Golf Heaven, with a little beach thrown in soon. Take care! Breathe Easy Rentals

The house was wonderful; it was well laid out, had nice furnishings, stocked well, was clean, easy checkin/out, had nice gathering spaces, in a nice neighborhood, with easy access to the beach. The beach chair setup was a nice amenity. There were no complaints from anyone in the group and I would stay there again.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thank you John for that "knock your socks off" review of Shipwatch Palazzo. We enjoyed be your host for a few days and look forward to welcoming you back again very soon. Gives us a ring, and we will be here. Take care and have an awesome summer. Your Breathe Easy Team

Our family of 20 had an incredible stay at this property. Beautiful white beach and emerald waters right out our doorstep. Property manager was beyond helpful, accommodating, and immediately responsive. Highly recommend!!

Amazing view,easy walk to beach,plenty of room for 11 people. Pool is pretty small,but little ones really enjoyed it! Would definitely stay again. Close to shopping and restaurants. Easy drive from Fort Walton airport. Elevator came in very handy for luggage and groceries! Kitchen had everything we needed except a dish cloth🤔.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Toni, we appreciate the detailed review of Shipwatch Palazzo. It is a wonderful property with plenty of room to chill out and relax. We appreciate that you found it to be fully stocked and ready for fun and making memories. We enjoyed being your host. Please do come again soon. Take care and have a wonderful Holiday! Breathe Easy Rentals

5 couples stayed for 3 nights at this property and had a great time! The house is incredible and right on the beach near everything you could want. It was impecably clean and the management was accessible and helpful. We highly recommend this property!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Wow, Mike sounds like a great time with old friends. Thank you for choosing Breathe Easy for your beach get together. Your all were the perfect house guest. We are always available to help out with info or any issues that may arise during your stay. Please do come back again so you can make more memories with all your dear friends. Take care, Breathe Easy Rentals

Loved our stay at an amazing house and wonderful location so close to the beach. If you are looking for an excellent place to stay and be near the water hard to beat this place. Careful with the parking as you are in the corner, but a small price to pay to have a great time away.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Adrian, we got a little giddy reading your review of Shipwatch Palasso. It most definitely is a beautiful house and you can't beat the location. And how about your own private pool = Wow! We are happy you all had a great time and hope you were able to create some great memories for years to come. You were perfect guest and we enjoyed being your host. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing Breathe Easy. Take care and stay safe. The Breathe Easy Team

Clean. Beautiful. Great location.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thank you Shannon for your review of Shipwatch Palazzo. It is such a great property for big families to gather for a fun beach vacation. We hope you choose Breathe Easy Rentals again when you plan your next epic beach vacation. In the meantime, take care and stay safe. Breathe Easy Rentals

We had a wonderful time at the property. Perfect location, safe, secluded property, and great recommendations for food and activities. Everything was as pictured and was clean. We loved that all the rooms we needed had private bathrooms. The bunk room was perfect for our kids and for those who may co-sleep with their small children! The pool was a little cold, being under the upper balconies, but it was a perfect reprieve for our children. Only constructive criticisms would be to add some sort of system for filtered drinking water (we went through a TON of bottled water during our stay) and to maybe add a few more hooks/bars for towels/bathing suits in the bathroom! Overall we had a wonderful time and this home was absolutely perfect for our large family. We made so many beautiful memories here and would love to stay again in the future! Thanks so much!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Marissa, it sounds like you found your Oasis staying at Shipwatch Palazzo for the week enjoying the activities and restaurants and of course making life time memories. We enjoyed being your host for the week and are thrilled to hear that we were able to provide all you needed during your stay. We will certainly pass on your suggestions to the powers that be about the filtered water and additional places to hang the swim towels and suits. Great ideas! Please give us a call when you are ready to visit again and we will be happy to host your family again for another epic beach vacation. Take care. Breathe Easy Rentals

perfect location, on the beach and everything so very close I would highly recommend this place

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

hank you Neil so very, very much for letting us know what you liked about Shipwatch Palazzo. It is a great house for a big family to be able to have their own space and be close to the action. You were a perfect guest and we appreciate the opportunity to be your host. Please do come back to see us, and we will provide you with another great place to stay. Take care, Breathe Easy Rentals

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 15 family members stay for a week and it was wonderful. We never felt on top of each other, rooms are very spacious. The only change we wish for was a larger pantry, there really is no pantry so most items sit out all week. Also the AC gave us issues during the week but nothing that ruined the vacation. We are looking forward to returning next year. Management was quick to reply to all issues.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Hey, Sarah! You guys were amazing to host, and we hope we can help you guys next year as well! We're glad the AC was a simple fix once reported - we agree, it's far too hot in summer to go without crisp, cool air! Hopefully ya'll enjoyed filling up the open pantry space to the left of the fridge - not sure if you saw that or not, but we do keep those cabinets cleared out for guests! See ya at the beach soon again! - Breathe Easy Rentals

Very nice house and location. Enjoyed the amenities and private beach. However, the thermostat on the third floor was not working properly. Actual temperature lower than showing on the control. Also the pool is more of a splash pool. Overall had great time and would stay again.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Don, thank you for your nice review of Shipwatch Palazzo. Not sure if you reported the issue with the 3rd floor thermostat but we will look into it for sure. We would have been happy to check it out for you if you had let us know. Hope it was not a great uncomfortable problem for you during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting your large family and we hope you will be sure to give us a call when you decide to visit again. Thanks again, and have a great summer. Breathe Easy Rentals

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came with 4 generations and had a wonderful time. There is something to do in this area for everyone. Don't miss Gator Beach, you get to actually hold a baby alligator.. The house is beautiful and super spacious. Having the pool was fantastic. Wexwould gi to the beach most of the day, come back take a shower (right on the pool deck) then jump in the pool.. We had it heated so it was like having a 20 person hot tub. AMAZING!! Having the elevator was a must and made all the difference on arrival day as well as departure. We did have a fire extinguisher inspection and the pool guys came twice.. which was a little intrusive but i understand these things have to be done. All in all a good time was had by all..

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Great location and excellent accommodations! 

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thank you Jonathan that is exactly what we love to hear from our guest. You were an awesome family to host. Please come back and see us soon. Take care. Breathe Easy Rentals

The house was perfect for our family of 13! The property was well maintained and very clean. Any questions or issues that arose were promptly answered and addressed by someone from Breathe Easy. Quick tip - ask about all the beach accessories and toys that have been left at the house. There was so much left from previous renters that we really didn’t need to bring anything! Thank you for a great vacation!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Alyssa, we are very happy that you found Shipwatch the perfect house for your large clan! It is a great house and it offers great accommodations for everyone. Enough room to spread out or gather together. We certainly hope you can come visit again as we enjoyed the opportunity to be your host. Until then, take care and enjoy the summer.

We appreciate the opportunity to host you and your family, if only for a short while. Please keep us in mind for any other trips you may plan to come our way. We will certainly be around to help you out. Stay well and thanks again. Breathe Easy Rentals

We had a total of 11 people - from 3 months to almost 83 years old. This house offered enough space so that we were not cramped. The rooms are all large and tastefully decorated. The view was great and the location was close to shopping. We have already planned to return next year!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time. Went for 5 nights to get away and be a part of a nearby wedding. We have stayed in many beach rentals over the years, however, this was the most user friendly house we have stayed in. The elevator was perfect for my 90 yr. old father. The house was big enough that everyone had enough room to spread out and have some privacy. In addition, the main floor/kitchen area was large enough to handle everyone for group activities. The kitchen was incredibly equipped with everything you could possibly need to feed and entertain a small army. Beach access was a breeze with a lot of places to walk to.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Steve and Debbie, we are so delighted that your found your recent stay at Ship Watch Palazzo so accommodating for your and your family. It is indeed a unique property with the elevator, and who wouldn't want to have such a beautiful kitchen and area to entertain. We certainly hope to see you and your family again soon for another great vacation. We appreciate you giving us a try. SF

Perfect for our group. Elevator was a must. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect home for our vacation.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thank you! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Shipwatch Palazzo. It is one of our premier properties that offers our guest so many amenities, and we are glad you were one of them. Please let us know when we can help you book your next vacation to the Emerald Coast. --Breathe Easy Rentals

Other than needing a new toaster, I can't really give much in the way of any negative feedback. The house is beautiful and in a great location--you can't ask for more. The kitchen is well stocked for a rental and there are plenty of beach chairs. The elevator was not working when we first arrived and the staff dealt with this in an urgent fashion as we did have a handicapped guest and I was very impressed with their attentiveness. Well worth the money, you won't be disappointed

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Emily, thank you so much for being so kind and awesome! We've got a new toaster on the way for the home and certainly appreciate your guy's patience in allowing us to repair the elevator lickety split. We're glad ya'll had a super time and are excited to have ya'll back again next year! -- Breathe Easy Rentals

Very open living space w beachfront views and sunsets. Very convenient but private. Plenty of bedrooms am bathrooms. Will visit again.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Yay! We are so happy ya'll had a spectacular time, David! Thank you so much for supporting our small business, and we cannot wait to host your family soon again. Take care and Happy Holidays! - Breathe Easy Rentals

The house was amazing! It was just steps to the ocean. And having the heated pool was a very nice touch! Communication with the property owner was top notch!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

You guys rock! Thanks for being so kind and taking amazing care of the home. We loved hosting your group! Happy Holidays, and we'll see ya'll next year!!! -- Breathe Easy Rentals

Shipwatch Palazzo exceeded every expectation I had for booking a girls trip to the beach. Thirteen of us stayed here with plenty of room to spare. Everything was easy from the initial booking process, to the prompt communication a couple of weeks before the trip when we had last minute questions, and finally Checking in was a BREEZE. From the moment we stepped into the home we knew it was going to be perfect. The home was beautifully decorated, spotless, and had stunning views of the ocean from all levels. We will definitely be back next year!

Nick, we absolutely loved having ya'll in town. You guys were fantastic to work with, and we appreciate ya'll for being so kind and respectful of the home. We hope to see you again next year. Take care!! -- Breathe Easy Rentals

Everything was excellent. However, I think you need to know a few things about the property: 1- The towel hook in the master bathroom on the second floor kept falling off the wall. 2- The ice maker in the garage didn't make ice. 3- When we used the "Char-Grill" on the balcony to cook some hamburgers, the flames were so high it charred all of our meat. We tried turning off the gas but the flames continued. It looked like the lower part of the pit had not been cleaned in a long while and the fat that had accumulated is what was burning. We are planning to come back next year and we would like to be able to use the pit without all the fire.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Hey, Bennett! Thanks for taking time to leave us a review, and we are so happy to hear ya'll had an excellent trip! We'll get that towel hook tightened up ASAP! The garage fridge is actually the previous fridge from the kitchen that was recently updated - we don't have it connected for water/ice. Our grills are serviced bi-weekly, and please know, if you ever need us during your stay, we are just a text away. We're always happy to assist and make sure ya'll have a groovy good time! Take care - Breathe Easy Rentals

What a great week relaxing on the beach. 14 of us ranging from eight months old to 72 years old fit comfortably and still had plenty of space to ourselves. The property had beach toys for the littles, coolers for our drinks, & extra chairs and umbrellas to add to the set of four chairs and two umbrellas provided by the beach service. Having the beach right outside the door made it easy for everyone to do their own thing and not feel obligated to stay at the beach or house but rather come and go as the desired. Brittany was very attentive and checked in on us regularly. Overall this was a vacation that will be remembered for the good times had by all!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thanks, James!! We are thrilled ya'll had an awesome experience and enjoyed the beach home. We hope to host your group again next year! Stay well and chat soon again -- Breathe Easy Rentals

This property and its management company were simply amazing! Our family of 11 was very impressed and very comfortable! It was very clean. Check in was super smooth. We had all the amenities we could dream of. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would need. The extra refrigerator and wine cooler in the garage were excellent! The living room, dining room, and bar surrounding the kitchen were very spacious and held our entire family. The bedrooms were a great size as well-- and that master suite was AMAZING! We didn't use the elevator much, except to shuttle our luggage and coolers up and down floors but it was an excellent touch! There were beach toys/chairs/etc. in a closet area that others had left and it worked out perfect for our family since we flew and could not bring our own. (We left some items for the next renters too) The pool area is spacious and the pool is "just right" for cooling off. We loved sitting on the upper balcony each morning and evening! The beach is literally steps from the house. The umbrella and chair service were an awesome touch as well. We were concerned prior to coming that the beach would be overcrowded being right next door to a condo; however, it was quite the opposite. This subdivision has its own private beach and, while there are people around, you very much have your own beach and ocean space. We encountered a couple minor issues throughout the week, but Brittany with Breathe Easy was super responsive and made sure all issues were addressed immediately and efficiently. I cannot recommend this house enough. It was truly awesome. We have stayed in several other homes in Destin and Gulf Shores and this is by far our favorite!! We will definitely be back!

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thanks, Christian! We enjoyed hosting your family. Take care, and we hope you can come visit the beach soon again! - Breathe Easy Rentals

We loved our stay. The house is clean, comfortable, and in front of the beach, which made it so easy for the kids to go back and forth. It is also amazing for big families and has tons of games. We went on a cold week of April, so we used the heated feature of the pool which was super helpful and let us enjoy it much more but could still feel a little cold on very cold breezy days. The owners are very helpful and always available! We definitely loved the property and would love to stay there again.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

You're so kind, Marina! Thank you!! We loved hosting your group and are so glad ya'll had a wonderful time. We'd love to have y'all back next year - just let us know when you're ready! Take care, Brittany - Breathe Easy Rentals

Everything about Shipwatch Palazzo was perfect. It is a great house in a great location. The process from start to finish was easy. Communication was great before, during and after our trip. Definitely worth staying at this house if you are looking for a place in the area. We will be back.

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Wow! Thanks, Scott! You guys were absolutely amazing. Thank you so, so much for treating the home as if it were your own. We're so glad you had an amazing vacay and are excited to help you plan 2022 beach trip soon! - Breathe Easy Rentals

We stayed in March for one week, the whether was cold but we had that great ocean front house with everything that you need, heated pool, big kitchen, ocean front balconies :) On rainy days we went shopping, it’s right across the neighborhood (Outlets). Manager Brittany is really nice, quickly responded every time. We recommend this property for a great vacation:)

Breathe Easy Rentals's reply:

Thank you so much, Olga! We absolutely loved hosting your family. Thank you for your prompt communication back all the time and for taking such excellent care of the home. We hope ya'll can come back and see us next Spring. Take care!! - Breathe Easy Rentals

This is a great vacation rental property, ideally located on the beach and close to outlet shopping and restaurants. The property was clean and well-maintained. The check in process was smooth any property managers were very communicative. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Destin, FL.
