Description

Hidden in plain sight and offering the very best of coastal living, the Gulfside Cottages in Destin’s Scenic Miramar Beach (between Destin and the 30A communities) are a rare private enclave with easy beach access and absolutely no roads to cross. Tucked just past the far eastern end of Scenic Gulf Drive and south of Emerald Coast Parkway (Hwy 98), this charming neighborhood puts you in the perfect spot for a quintessential beach vacation.

Enter Gulfside Way—a picturesque, palm-lined drive—and head toward the shore. As you ease around the second bend, the tropically landscaped community pool comes into view. Diagonally across the street, Eden’s Estate stands proudly, ready to welcome you. A columned wraparound veranda and a covered balcony above create inviting outdoor spaces for sipping a favorite drink while the Gulf breeze rustles the palms. The beautiful beach is only a few minutes’ stroll away, or enjoy the neighborhood swimming pool directly across the street. The spacious pool patio features convenient restroom facilities and ample space to lounge. Back at the house, there’s covered parking, a grill for easy cookouts, and four bicycles for cruising the community.

Inside, thoughtful updates are evident in virtually every corner, as the owners continually make improvements both big and small to enhance your stay. New premium, beach-washed hardwood floors pair with pale salmon-hued walls and vibrant coastal artwork. The living room features two regal blue sofas (one converts to a queen sleeper) around a blonde plank coffee table, all facing a new 65" Smart LG Ultra HD TV with 4K DirecTV service and Blu-Ray. The chic dining area centers around a gorgeous, solid-wood table with six dove-grey high-backed chairs. In the bright, exceptionally equipped kitchen, white quartz counters with a waterfall edge and matching backsplash complement custom cabinetry and new stainless-steel appliances (a new dishwasher and range are in place; the refrigerator is scheduled to be replaced this fall). Exceptional amenities include true HD Smart TVs in every room, upgraded electrical outlets with USB ports, whole-home HD DVR, Regional Sports Package, adjustable LED lighting, and complimentary high-speed wireless internet. Guests will also appreciate the home’s “white” linen program, which ensures crisp, fresh linens with every visit.

Upstairs, the recently redecorated Primary Suite exudes cottage charm with cream-colored furnishings, , a king bed with an adjustable head-up base and wired remote, a turquoise accent chair that converts to a twin sleeper, a flat-screen Smart HDTV, new lamps, a desk with a chair, and a full en-suite bath. Step onto the private balcony for quiet mornings or romantic evenings. A second bedroom offers a queen bed with contemporary hardwood furnishings, while the third serves as a kid-friendly bunk room with a twin XL over a queen. Both guest rooms include Smart HDTVs and share a hall bath.

Though Eden’s Estate feels like its own private paradise, you’re close to everything Miramar Beach offers—grocery stores, wine shops, and world-class shopping at Silver Sands Premium Outlets. Guests also enjoy Ocean Reef Resorts’ special discounts at nearby Seascape Resort for championship golf, tennis, and beach rental needs. Family amusements, great restaurants, lively bars, boutique shopping, outdoor concerts, fun festivals, and seasonal fireworks are minutes away at the Village of Baytowne Wharf and the upscale Grand Boulevard at Sandestin.

First Floor: Living Room with Queen Sleeper Sofa and Patio Access, Kitchen, Dining, Powder Room, Laundry.

Second Floor: King Primary Bedroom with Twin Sleeper Sofa and Tub/Shower Combo + Balcony Access, Queen Bedroom, Bunk Room with Queen/Twin Bunk, Hall Bath with Tub/Shower Combo.

Based off of the daily temperature and at the HOA's discretion, the community pool is typically heated during spring break.

The property at Eden's Estate was exactly as it was pictured.
The pool was across the street, the beach was one block away, and everything you can imagine was nearby. So it made our stay very convenient. I love the fact it was dog friendly, so we got to bring our dog. We drove 45min to Panama City to take our dog to the dog beach which was worth it. Everything about the property was as stated. I will definitely be renting this place again.
Amy Y from St. Louis MO - Stayed March 2023
Thank you for the wonderful review! Ocean Reef Resorts is delighted to know Edens Estate was exactly as expected and that the convenient location, nearby beach access, and dog-friendly accommodations made your stay so enjoyable. We’re glad everything you needed was close by, and we’d love to welcome you back to the beach again for another great getaway.

We had a great stay!
The house is so convenient to the beach, a quick 3-4 minute walk. The neighborhood is adorable. Everything you need is there, the kitchen is well equipped and there are 3 covered areas for sitting outside as well as the pool across the street.

Thank you for the great review! Ocean Reef Resorts is happy to know you enjoyed your stay at Edens Estate, from the short walk to the beach to the charming neighborhood and well-equipped kitchen.
