Polka Dot Bikini
6 Bedrooms / 5 Full & 1 Half Bathrooms / 18 Guests
Few weeks remain available this summer at the Polka Dot Bikini, a chic, six-bedroom vacation home that comfortably hosts up to 18 guests. Nestled in the heart of Destin's Miramar Beach, just steps away from the pristine white sand shore, this 2,800 square foot retreat is a perfect blend of vintage and modern. Enjoy its private pool and close proximity to gulf-front restaurants, the Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and Seascape’s golf and tennis facilities. Lively bars and boutique shops at Grand Boulevard and Sandestin's Baytowne Wharf are also nearby. The cherry on top? It's right next door to another fabulous property, Anchors Away, making it a great choice for larger groups.
Booking was the easiest I've ever experienced. The house had plenty of room. Living area/kitchen was a little on the small side, but very workable. The location to the beach was very close. The pool was perfect size and was used everyday. Amazing memories were made at the Polka Dot Bikini House!

6 Bedrooms / 5 Full & 1 Half Bathrooms / 18 Guests
Time's running out to enjoy a summer break at Anchors Away! This 2,800 square foot, six-bedroom Destin rental gem, comfortably sleeping 18 guests, is a stone's throw away from the gulf in Miramar Beach. Strategically designed with bedrooms on three floors, it's perfect for separate families or different age groups. The sugary shores are just 100 yards away, and a private pool is there for your enjoyment. If your party includes up to 36 guests, consider booking both Anchors Away and the neighboring Polka Dot Bikini.
The location doesn't get much better than this!!! The setup of Anchor's Away was fantastic. Their was plenty of room for people to have their own bedroom and bathroom. When we had a small struggle with the upstairs bathroom shower drain, maintenance was there right away to fix it.
