Description

Welcome to this beachfront vacation rental that sits high upon the sugary shore at a highly sought-after locale in Miramar Beach. Unlike the luxury towers nearby, this gulf front three-bedroom townhome places you right on the beach. Here along with the vivid watery views the soothing surf sounds can provide peaceful relaxation. A sundeck overlooks the beautiful beach and the glistening gulf. If you want a real-time preview, check out our Ocean Reef Resorts Beach Cam, which happens to be set up at Summerhaven!

The exterior of Summerhaven 1 offers a classically nostalgic beach look, however the interiors are upscale, comfortable, contemporary and filled with modern amenities like wall mounted flat screen TVs in almost every room. Since this is an end unit featuring extra windows it is light bright and spacious. The unique split floor plan design has bedrooms for individual sleeping quarters on the first and third floor levels with the main living area in between on the second floor. This provides hospitable accommodations for separate families or generations of guests who may be sharing this space but following different schedules.

The first floor in Summerhaven 1 includes the Master Bedroom Suite that has twin bunks tucked in off an adjoining hallway and a full luxury bathroom. The bathroom has twin vanities along with a big walk-in shower with pale slate gray tiles and decorative mosaics. The comfortable king size bed faces a wide TV perched above a black ebony dresser. Sliding glass doors beside it frames the sparkling scenery outdoors on the sun deck and provides easy access. A shared community staircase nearby leads down to the beach below.

The second floor includes the main living/dining area and kitchen along with a convenient powder room. Light pastel blue walls and leather furnishings are accented by rich colored hardwood flooring. A plush cream-colored couch doubles as a queen size sleeper sofa, and two accent chairs create a comfortable seating ensemble with views of the gulf from the second floor beach balcony. Five chairs with encircle a dark round wooden table that sits beneath a charming candle chandelier. Four sleek powder white raised chairs face a gleaming black granite topped bar adjoining the sunny open kitchen.

Two Guest Quarter Suites are upstairs on the third level and each one has a full private bathroom. One has a simple but elegant metal frame king size bed with two sets of windows looking out onto the glittering gulf and another one providing light. The second Guest Room also has a sunny window, a queen bed, creamy comfortable furnishings and light nautical interior colors that provide a serene setting.

This Miramar Beach location is near popular beachfront restaurants, grocery stores, wine outlets and discount shopping at the nationally acclaimed Silver Sands Premium Outlets. Reduced rates are offered to all guests nearby for water sports, golf and tennis through our Ocean Reef Rewards program. Lots of restaurants, lively bars, specialty stores, free concerts and family amusements are also nearby at Sandestin's Baytowne Wharf and Grand Boulevard.

As advertised.
Everything was exactly as described, from the easy check-in process to the clean, well-maintained space that matched the photos perfectly. The location was excellent, and communication throughout the stay was clear and helpful, making for a smooth and enjoyable visit at Summerhaven 1.

Unmatched views of the beach here!
Beachfront! Direct access to sand. Stunning ocean view and private decks.
Ted D from Alpharetta, GA - Stayed October 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review of Summerhaven 1! We’re thrilled you loved the beachfront location, private decks, and those stunning Gulf views. Ocean Reef Resorts can’t wait to welcome you back to the beach for another beautiful stay!

Great place to spend a week at the beach!
We had a fantastic week at this location with our family. There was plenty of room for the 7 people in our crew and we could have easily included a few more as one of the bedrooms went unused. We loved the muti-level decks so we could stay up late without worrying about waking the kids and the deck furniture at this location is VERY nice compared to the others. The location is fantastic, parking is easy, and access to the beach couldn't be quicker. The included beach chair/umbrella service was a welcome surprise. There are a few small items that we could nitpick as there are with any rental, but we would 100% stay here again.

Do you allow small pets?
H G - Posted: 08/24/2022

Answer:

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Summerhaven 1 is not a pet-friendly vacation property.  If you are unable to board your pups, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.

What is the name and number of the beach chair service provider?
Janis K - Posted: 04/17/2023

Answer:

Thanks for reaching out! Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. You can reserve chairs and umbrellas over the phone, or directly on the sand!

Do you have a community pool?

Answer:

Fantastic job locating Summerhaven 1! While it doesn't feature a pool, its prime beachfront location is unbeatable. Should you desire assistance in discovering similar properties with a pool, feel free to reach out!
