Miramar Beach
Located in Emerald Waters Village, this villa is within a 10-minute stroll of sights such as Miramar Beach and Kitchenique. The villa includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a balcony.
Nestled in the heart of Miramar Beach, Villa Hermosa was meticulously renovated to embody the charm of Mediterranean inspired architecture. Tucked into a renowned gated community, this distinctly designed retreat is a quick walk to private beach access along the Emerald Coast and 2 community pools. Nearby shops, restaurants, and local attractions from Destin to 30A make Villa Hermosa a centrally-located, ideal destination.
This three-bedroom, four-bathroom Villa is a masterpiece of authentic Spanish and Grecian modern architecture, seamlessly blending old-world elegance with contemporary luxury.

Exposed wooden beam ceilings preside over two comfortable sofas, a relaxing oversized chair, and handcrafted niches displaying authentic terracotta wine vessels and ceramic vases.
Adjacent to the living room, the gourmet kitchen is a culinary enthusiast's dream, boasting an oversized island seating six, custom-made cabinetry with sleek quartz countertops, and Moorish backsplash tile. State-of-the-art appliances and amenities make cooking for a large group simple and pleasurable. Enjoy meals served on Italian and Portuguese imported dishware and make memories around a large wooden dining table comfortably seating eight.

At one corner, a sleek dry bar with a wine fridge keeps your favorite vintages perfectly chilled and at the other, a seating area with a leather pull-out couch with its own attached designer bathroom and rainfall shower.

Very nice home!
The home is lovely, feels new and was very clean and bright. Comfortable beds and sofas and lots of balconies! The proximity to the neighborhood pool was awesome, and we liked how quiet the pool was. We were often the only ones there so it felt private.
Pretty easy walk to the beach too so that was awesome. Don’t bring a wagon though, there are a LOT of stairs down to the beach. The beaches to me were a little crowded…I heard that Miramar was less crowded than Destin but the beaches were packed. And definitely can’t have any canopies, umbrellas only.
The only thing about the house is that there were no dressers in any of the rooms. I like unpacking so ended up with my clothes stacked on the floor.
Overall great experience! Hosts were helpful and friendly. Super easy.

Beautiful, Peaceful Vacation Home
From the moment we stepped into the home the stress of everyday life just melted away. The house is absolutely beautiful and the layout is so great. It is tastefully decorated throughout with the goal being maximum relaxation. The furniture is ultra comfortable and the home has everything you need. So close to the beach and other fun things to do. Our stay included my wife and I and 6 of our children 10yo - 22yo. There was room, comfortably, for everyone. Would recommend this property to anybody and everybody.

One of the best locations to spend a weekly family getaway in Florida.
From the moment we planned our trip until our final stay the owners were always ava to answer any concerns and makeing sure our stay was amazing. The location and area was really beauitful. I was lucky enough to find the perfect spot to spend our first florida vacation.
The house was very cozy, and spacious enough to find a sweer spot to relax. My favorite was the balcony.
Two of the bedrooms had its own patio to sit outside and relax after a long day at the beach.
The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of space to bring a huge family.
I will definitely return next summer.
