The host was welcoming and quick to reply with any questions we had. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable. The location to the beach was amazing and the heated pool was used daily by my kids. The golf cart was really nice and convenient as well. I would stay here again.

Perfect Stay!
Perfect location, perfect beach, very clean, a 10/10 recommendation from us!
Perfect spot for our family & only steps to the beach.
We really loved this home & how close it was to the beach. My kids used the pool everyday. The gated community was quiet and was in a great median spot for going to Destin & Panama City. There is no substitute for a private beach & we also loved having the chair/umbrella setup. We intend to return next year.

Wonderful vacation place
We loved this house and place for our spring break with family. It was comfortable, relaxing and the house had what we needed. The private beach was much less crowded than other beaches. The golf cart made running to the store convenient. We loved the ability to heat the pool since the gulf was a little chilly. This was the top for our many family vacations. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
Whole Family enjoyed this home. Enough room to have our own space. Walk to beach is close and loved sunrises and Sunsets. No over crowded beach was excellent white powder sand. 6 month old in tow had the best time inheatedpool heated
Everything was so nice and relaxing! My family had a great time we loved the private beach access and having access to the cart, the kids loved being able to ride down the strip and site see! The house was very well accommodated with space and basic necessities Only downside was the tight parking but everything else was immaculate so the parking didn’t matter we made it work! This property was a 10/10 And we’re already planning to book again!
We will definitely be staying here again. Everything was amazing about the property. Access to the beach was just steps away. Access to grocery store was rideable on a bike . We enjoyed everything about our trip and stay . Definitely a 5 ✨✨✨✨✨
The house is in a great location, close to the beach, restaurants and grocery store. It has lots of space, everything you need in the kitchen and the golf cart and pool were definite pluses!
We have stayed in this neighborhood before and we love the area.. this property was amazing. Clean, convenient and loved the golf cart! We will be back!

Great Reset
We were looking for a place to stay to kick off our New Year slowly. Resetting our pace and relaxing. We found just that here. A few steps to the beach, outlets and restaurants (although we mostly cooked). The house is accommodating with cozy aspects, plenty of cookware and charm. The beds were comfy! Plenty of bathrooms too.
Really enjoyed the house and the location. Plenty of room for our family vacation. Private beach with chairs and umbrellas was great. Would definitely stay again
The home was close to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for our family!
I would definitely rent this home again!
Liahona is the Perfect place to stay in MiramarBeach/Destin! We would give it more than 5 stars if we could! Extra credit stars for an outstanding location, cleanliness & especially response time from Alex for anything we needed…above & beyond! Our family ranged in age from 2 to 75 & everyone loved it. If you’re looking for an amazing beach vacation, book Liahona today!
We enjoyed staying at the property. There were enough spaces for everyone. The only thing that would make the property perfect was some outdoor furnitures on the balcony
