Description

Emerald Waters 205 is a beautifully refreshed, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat in the heart of Miramar Beach that comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests. Tucked beside the charming Frangista Beach community, this second-floor condo places you just across the street from deeded private beach access and moments from the shimmering emerald-green Gulf waters. From the private balcony overlooking the resort-style pool to the thoughtfully updated interiors, this inviting getaway blends relaxed beach living with the comforts of home.

Inside, the open-concept living space feels bright, airy, and welcoming with soft coastal tones, updated flooring, and comfortable furnishings designed for easy gathering after long days in the sun. Sliding glass doors fill the living area with natural light and lead out to a spacious balcony where guests can sip morning coffee overlooking the palm-lined courtyard and sparkling pool below. The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa and large flatscreen TV, while the dining area offers seating for family meals and casual conversation. The beautifully renovated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, mosaic tile backsplash accents, pendant lighting, and a breakfast bar that keeps everyone connected, whether preparing breakfast before the beach or winding down with evening cocktails.

The Primary suite offers a peaceful place to recharge with a king bed, flatscreen TV, and private ensuite bathroom featuring a walk-in tiled shower and granite vanity. The guest bedroom includes a queen bed and easy access to a full hall bath with a tiled tub/shower combination, making the layout ideal for couples, small families, or friends traveling together. Guests also enjoy complimentary high-speed WiFi, an in-unit washer and dryer, assigned parking, and access to Emerald Waters’ gated community amenities, including a lagoon-style pool, bubbling hot tub, grilling area, and beautifully landscaped grounds filled with tropical greenery.

One of the most beloved features of Emerald Waters 205 is its unbeatable location. The private Holiday Beach access is only about a minute walk across Scenic Gulf Drive, making beach days effortless and convenient. Popular local favorites, including Pompano Joe’s, are nearby for fresh seafood, tropical drinks, and open-air dining with Gulf views. Guests are also just minutes from Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Grand Boulevard, and Baytowne Wharf, where shopping, dining, live entertainment, seasonal events, and family attractions create endless ways to enjoy the Emerald Coast. Whether you spend your days relaxing on the sugar-white sand or exploring Miramar Beach, Emerald Waters 205 offers a polished and welcoming home base for a memorable Gulf getaway.
