Description

Perched directly on the sugar-white sands of Miramar Beach, Summerhaven 1 offers the kind of beachfront experience guests return to year after year. This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Gulf-front townhome comfortably accommodates up to ten guests and places you just steps from the shoreline with private beach access and panoramic water views from multiple levels. Unlike the surrounding high-rise towers, this elevated end-unit retreat feels intimate, peaceful, and wonderfully connected to the beach, where the sound of rolling waves and salty Gulf breezes become part of everyday life. Guests consistently rave about the “unmatched views,” spacious multi-level decks, and the rare convenience of being able to walk straight from the home onto the sand in moments.

Inside, the home blends relaxed coastal charm with bright, updated interiors designed for gathering and unwinding. Sunlight pours through extra windows unique to this end unit, illuminating soft beach-inspired hues, warm wood flooring, and comfortable furnishings throughout the open-concept living spaces. The second-floor living area invites everyone together with Gulf-facing balcony access, a plush seating arrangement, and sweeping emerald-water views that stretch beyond the deck. The adjoining kitchen features gleaming granite countertops, stainless appliances, and bar seating perfect for casual breakfasts before heading down to the beach. Guests especially love the expansive beachfront decks, where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the surf and evenings end with colorful sunsets painting the sky over the Gulf.

The thoughtfully designed split-level layout offers privacy and flexibility for families or groups traveling together. On the first floor, the Primary Suite creates a peaceful retreat with a king bed, deck access, and stunning beach views right from the room. A twin bunk nook tucked nearby makes it especially convenient for families with children. Upstairs on the third floor, two additional guest suites each include private bathrooms and inviting coastal décor, with one king bedroom featuring beautiful Gulf views and the other offering a serene queen retreat filled with natural light. Reviewers frequently mention how spacious the layout feels and how easily everyone can spread out while still enjoying time together.

Beyond the home itself, Summerhaven 1 places you close to some of Miramar Beach’s most popular dining, shopping, and entertainment destinations. Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Grand Boulevard, and Baytowne Wharf are all just a short drive away, offering everything from waterfront dining and boutique shopping to live music and family activities. Guests also appreciate the included seasonal beach service and the convenience of nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and local favorites. Whether you’re planning a laid-back family beach week, a multigenerational getaway, or a relaxing coastal escape with friends, Summerhaven 1 delivers the rare combination of privacy, comfort, and unforgettable Gulf-front scenery that keeps guests coming back year after year.

Great condo on private beach
We had a wonderful time during our spring break family vacation at this place. It was conveniently located right on the beach, with a private beach that made it a tenfold better experience since we could avoid the crowds. They also set have a daily umbrella and chairs set up on the beach specifically for you. The area was also close to various stores, including grocery stores, clothing stores, and restaurants, making it very easy to get around. We are definitely going to make this our yearly vacation spot.
Naomi M from Middlesex, NJ - Stayed March 2026

The added convenience of daily beach service and nearby shopping and dining options makes it even more special, and we’re thrilled it checked all the boxes for your stay. It means so much to know you’re planning to make this your yearly vacation spot, and Ocean Reef Resorts looks forward to welcoming you back again and again for unforgettable time at the beach!

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.
Nick G from Houston TX - Stayed May 2021
Thank you for the wonderful review of Summerhaven 1! We’re thrilled your family had such a fantastic beach getaway and enjoyed the spacious layout, multi-level decks, comfortable outdoor furnishings, and unbeatable beach access. It’s great to know the easy parking and included beach chair service added to your experience as well. Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your thoughtful feedback, and we would love to welcome you back to the beach again for another memorable stay!

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.
