Description

This delightful four bedroom vacation home evokes a charming golden feel of yesteryear and can accommodate up to 12 fortunate beach-going guests. The attractive, upscale furnishings and interior amenities create a gracious ambiance filled with creature comforts. Sandy Bottoms is a hospitable home tucked away in an enchanting little piece of paradise called Gulfside Cottages, which is a residential community and a wonderful world of its own. Lush landscaping throughout this Americana styled white picket fenced enclave includes tropical plants and towering palm trees. It is a short three-minute stroll away from the sugary shoreline beside the emerald toned waters of the jeweled gulf and steps away from a custom designed community pool where you may enjoy freshwater plunge. This outstanding locale is within the heart of sought-after Miramar Beach, placing you minutes away from grocery stores, wine shops, an ice cream parlor, and bargain shopping at the Silver Sands Premium Outlets - one of the nation's largest discount designer centers. You can even walk to Chick-fil-a and Starbucks!  It is also close to favorite beachfront restaurants featuring friendly bars along Scenic Gulf Drive and a championship golf course with tennis courts at Seascape, where Ocean Reef Resorts guests receive complimentary reduced rates.

The comfortable newly purchased furnishings in Sandy Bottoms will make you feel like you have found your perfect "beach home" away from home. Its charming cottage styled design creates a wonderfully laid back, casual coastal look. Each beautifully appointed bedroom includes new designer bedding and a TV with a DVD Player for viewing pleasure. The Primary Bedroom and one of the Guest Quarters are on the first floor with full en-suite private baths. The Primary Suite includes a king sized bed, a luxury bath with a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower as well as French doors that lead out to a covered porch overlooking the tropically landscaped yard. The Guest Suite with an en-suite bath has a queen sized bed and its own porch.

The open living, dining and kitchen areas encompass the second floor which include a breezy porch, a wall mounted TV as well as a gaming setup. A convenient full hall bath nearby also serves as a powder room. A comfortable seating ensemble in the living area includes a queen sized sleeper sofa with accent chairs that face an entertainment system with a newly purchased 4K UHD Roku Smart TV with your favorite streaming apps including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Glass doors lead to the upper-level porch perched high above the palmtops for lovely views. A charming dining table seats six while a modern kitchen provides everything to create a fun family feast. The new kitchen is outfitted with the latest Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, rich mosaic glass backsplash, granite countertops and a bar that seats three.  This floor also hosts a convenient queen bedroom. The third floor loft provides a sunny private retreat with a full/full bunk and a bonus sitting area for the kids with a 50-inch Smart HDTV. This room includes two walls of windows that offer panoramic rooftop views for all to enjoy.

This Miramar Beach location places you minutes away from a wide array of restaurants, lively bars, specialty shops, abundant amusements, seasonal festivals along with concerts at nearby Baytowne Wharf and Grand Boulevard in Sandestin.

Good place to stay
Sandy Bottoms was clean, accurate to the listing, and easy to check into. The location was perfect, communication was great, and it made for an all-around wonderful stay.
Amber M from Frankfort, KY - Stayed September 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review of Sandy Bottoms! We’re delighted you enjoyed the clean accommodations, convenient location, and smooth check-in process. It’s great to know communication made your stay even better. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach with Ocean Reef Resorts!

We enjoyed everything about our vacation.
It was so simple and easy to reserve our property. We had no difficulty at all finding and reserving our house. Arriving at our house and getting inside was so easy. The parking was perfect for us, and it was so close to the door used to get in and out, making loading and unloading our vehicles a breeze! We've gone this same week for the past 3 years, and it's the best time ever. Our family isn't big on night life, drinking, etc., and the family atmosphere we've found through Ocean Reef rentals has made our vacation a dream. Every year when our vacation ends, we talk about how we'd love to just stay and never go home! It's the best vacation ever, and each year gets better and better! We had no problem getting the house ready for our departure. We all worked together to clean it up and get our things packed up. It's always sad when we leave, but we immediately start talking about next year's vacation before we ever get home, and we drive over 750 miles one way to get there!
Ethan P from Fort Gay - Stayed August 2025
Thank you for your heartfelt review of Sandy Bottoms! We’re thrilled to know your family has made this special trip a yearly tradition and that each visit continues to get even better. It’s wonderful to hear how much you appreciate the easy check-in process, convenient parking, and welcoming family atmosphere. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the beach with Ocean Reef Resorts for another unforgettable stay!

Our favorite spot!
This is the second time we have stayed at sandy bottoms in Miramar. The place is perfect for a bigger group and so close to the beach! We love everything about this area: the beach, the pool, the close shopping outlet, the food, and so many things to try for fun! We like that it’s a quiet neighborhood and that there’s always room on the beach in this location. It really gives you that vacation feeling that you’re looking for! The host was great on communication and responded quickly. We love this spot and will definitely book a third time!

John B - Posted: 08/20/2023

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Sandy Bottoms is not a pet-friendly property. If you are unable to board your pup, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.

The refreshing community pool is situated to the south of the home, just about a minute's stroll away. Enjoy!
