About this house rental
Summers Dreams, your luxurious vacation home, is located in a very well-kept, private gated community called Emerald Waters Village in Miramar Beach, FL.
In the spring of 2019 we upgraded several rooms in our home and replaced beds and bedding, among other things. The pictures you see were taken after the updates.
Our beautiful, family-oriented, home is a three-story, 5000 square foot luxury 7 bedroom home - professionally designed to allow for 3 – 4 families to make wonderful vacation memories together – just as our family does. Our home has comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 22 people in beds. 24 guests maximum in our home.
We worked with a professional designer to assist with making our home as beautiful as possible. Custom colors throughout our home gives it an elegant beach vibe. We purchased high quality furnishing and bedding for the entire house. Rohn, Tommy Bahama, Broyhill Pottery Barn, Donna Karen and Ralph Lauren home just to name a few.
A whole house Sonos sound system is included.
We have custom paintings and art pieces from local artists throughout our home. Our super high ceilings make our home feel very spacious.
The well-appointed first floor holds a stunning foyer, crown molding (which is located throughout the entire home), a huge family room with plenty of seating and a flat screen TV, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the patio and pool, dining room (one table holds 8 people and another table holds 6 people, with seating for 10 people on the patio). You read that correctly. We wanted to make sure everyone could eat together if you wanted to! We include a high chair and two booster seats for little ones.
Enjoy upscale amenities in the fully loaded gourmet kitchen: stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops (2 stools at the counter), regular coffee pot as well as a Keurig, dishwasher, ice maker and all the cooking utensils, dishes, glasses and silverware needed to cook a gourmet meal for your family and friends. People have held their family’s Thanksgiving dinner in this spacious area.
Our family-oriented home also includes a regular sized crib in first floor king suite, pack-and-play in one of the 2nd floor king suites and another pack-and-play in the closet of the king suite on the 3rd floor. We also include an umbrella stroller! As well as games and huge bean bags on the 3rd floor.
Also, on the 1st floor is a very spacious and lovely king master suite which has two walk-in closets (heated and cooled where a crib is located), a large flat screen TV and the master bathroom has a wonderfully large walk-in travertine natural stone shower, a soaker tub and a two-bowl granite sink. This is perfect if you have older family members who have trouble climbing steps.
The pool is one of the largest in the area. There is a large 18" deep shelf for babies and toddlers to enjoy with Mom and Dad. The large shelf is often home base for games our kids play in the pool. Our covered patio area allows family to be outside with everyone without being in the sun. We have lounge and Adirondack chairs around the pool.
The pool area includes a pergola area that has a round table with three chairs and a large gas grill. For safety, both patio gates by the pool latch automatically so little children cannot get to the pool area unattended. There is a shower head in the driveway to rinse off the sand when returning from the beach.
Destin has the whitest and cleanest beaches in the world. When you are ready to sink your toes in the sugary sand, there is a private beach entrance that is only a three-minute walk away for Emerald Waters Village visitors. There is a 3-way stop at the corner where you cross the street to our private beach entrance which makes it safer to cross. And the walk is easy for small children.
The second floor has three lovely and tranquil king bedrooms suites with private bath and flat screen TVs. All bathrooms have walk-in natural stone showers and granite counters. There is a pack and play in one of the heated and air-conditioned large closets of one of the king suites. Perfect for little ones. You can plug in a baby monitor in the closet to listen for and watch your baby as well.
The 2nd floor also includes a Billiards room with an 8 foot pool table, leather love seat, 60" SmartTV and 6 chairs. The room is for families wanting to hang out and enjoy some time together. There is a small refrigerator and granite counter top with an ice bucket so you can have cold drinks in the room.
We also provide a large covered patio (11 feet by 16 feet) off the 2nd floor family room that overlooks the pool area. This patio includes a couch and two large comfortable chairs. It's the perfect place to get away and read a magazine or book. Teenagers also love using this balcony when they a break from the little ones.
The 3rd floor includes our 3rd family room that is designed to be kid friendly. We have a king suite bedroom on the 3rd floor as well as a private hall bathroom. There are two darling bunk rooms painted in bright colors. Each bunks room has 4 bunk beds and dresser and closet. There is a Jack and Jill bathroom between one of the bunk rooms and the king bedroom suite. The king bedroom suite is a good size room and is decorated in greens and blues with flat screen TV, dresser and closet. The person(s) in this room can use the hall bath for their private bath.
The large family room includes a flat screen with DVD, pull-out couch, two huge bean bags that holds 2-3 kids (each). We also have a Foosball table. In the hallway is a 16-foot shuffleboard table for competition games. There is a table for four where kids can play cards, color or whatever they want.
If you are still reading our description thank you! Our home is perfect for families of all sizes and has more room that most other rental homes that will prove to be much appreciated by the end of the week. We also rent our own home so you are working directly with the owner on everything. We respond quickly to any and all issues before or during your stay.

Something for everyone- pool, beach a
Short walk away. Shops, ice cream and coffee walking distance as well! Well equipped kitchen and a separate ice machine that was clutch!! Garage fridge for all the drinks and beach buggy helped with all the chairs and necessities!

This home could not have been more perfect! We were 7 adults and 5 children ages 18 months to 6 years. The layout of the house with 5 master bedrooms and 2 bunkbed rooms met all our needs. Having the playroom on the 3rd floor was a godsend. The kids had lots of room to play and loved the bean bag chairs! Having an actual crib in its own separate closet was also an added bonus. Not having to lug a pack and play from home was super nice! Plus babies always sleep better in a crib. The home is beautiful and immaculate. We could not survive a family vacation without a pool, and having the shallow play ledge for the toddlers was everything! We also appreciated the ice maker, the cooler which we took to the beach every day, beach chairs and umbrella, beach and pool toys. The owners are very responsive and have really thought of everything families with children need. The location is also great - beach is across the street, shopping on the corner, and a great coffee place a pleasant 10 min walk away. We loved our time here and plan to rent again next year.

We LOVED this house so much!! Such a great set up for our big family (10 adults & 11 kids). Lots of space, kid friendly, pool was wonderful. The walk to the beach is short. Our two 3 year olds walked it with no problems every day. We will be booking again next trip!!

My family of 15 people were so comfortable in this home that it made for a wonderful vacation for all of us. We had so much fun in the pool and the walking distance to the beach was short. We especially loved the shallow shelf in the pool. It worked out great for the two year old and those of us that liked being able to sit there in the water. All of the bedrooms worked out well for all of the adults and kids. We loved the couch in the living room, it made for great TV watching or lounging. The two dining tables were used a lot and we appreciated having them. The owner was easy to work with. All in all, it was great. Many of us spent a lot of time at Alvin's Island browsing and purchasing vacation items, ankle bracelets, towels, hats, shirts and skim boards. The beach and its sand and the color of the water were spectacular. We would stay here again.

This property was perfect for 5 families with kids of all ages. The 3 floors came in handy for everyone to have their own space along with all of the extras - pool table, shuffle board, and beach chairs. Walk to beach was easy. The only downside (which is not much) would be that we bought ice daily due to the icemaker not producing ice and also no additional yard space to play yard games.

Our family enjoyed the home very much. When there was an issue with the pool heater the owner was very responsive . Location was perfect. Liked being in a quiet gated community.

Absolutely wonderful!
Perfect for our family of 10 adults and 8 kids 5 & under! The kids enjoyed the pool immensely and the trek to the beach wasn’t bad- moving anywhere with our 2 young ones, 2 toddlers & 4 infants is tough. Since the beach was out of sight we could placate them with the pool. The steps down to the beach make it just a bit challenging but the sand and water are gorgeous!

Family Vacation April 2022
My family all have a wonderful time at your property. It is a beautiful property and very comfortable for everyone. Our group was 17 people total. Five families can accumulate a lot of food for the week so the second refrigerator in the garage was very helpful. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The pool was great for the grandkids ages 3-10. We used it every day after we returned from activities or the beach. It was only a short walk to the beach and was easy to get a spot anytime during the day. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property.

Christmas Family Reunion
This was a lovely rental home for our family reunion over Christmas. We were pleasantly surprised with the abundance of activities available. Christmas in Miramar Beach is a well kept secret! There were 14 of us ranging in age from 76 to 16, from Montana, Illinois and Maryland. The 3 level house provided more than enough space for comfortable large group dining and relaxing, as well as space for smaller groups to break away and play pool, shuffleboard, foosball, video games or just sit quietly and enjoy one of the peaceful and comfortable sitting areas or verandas. The kitchen was the perfect size for cooking Christmas breakfast and dinner as well as the meals during the week. There is more than enough refrigeration and freezer space, two large ovens and a microwave, two coffee makers and plenty of cooking and eating pots plates and utensils. The gas grill was a nice addition. Every bedroom and bathroom is large, comfortable and very updated/modern. The gated community felt safe, provided plenty of parking and two community pools in addition to the back yard pool. The walk to the beach was easy. Be sure to catch both the sunrise and sunset on the beach and enjoy a short walk to the delicious BadAss Coffee shop afterward. It was warm enough to swim and sunbathe most days. Every type of shopping and restaurant was within a short drive and there were no lines, even for our size group. There were activities for every interest and age. We particularly enjoyed Track go-carts and the Finest Kind Fishing Charter, recommended by the homeowner. December in Miramar Beach offers Christmas lights, festive events and even outdoor ice skating. Highlights to not miss include The Donut Hole breakfast, AJs seafood, drinks and live music, Fat boys burgers and wings, Jacacudas unique delicious fusion food and Lin’s for Chinese take out. The nearby Dunes State Park is a wonderful place to hike and enjoy natural dunes, wildlife and the beach with no buildings behind you. However, the absolute best thing about this rental was the homeowner who was extraordinarily responsive, kind and helpful from start to finish. Thank you Gregg & Margaret for renting us your lovely vacation home and making our Christmas family reunion one to remember! We would definitely rent it again!

The PERFECT HOUSE for our big FAMILY!
The photos of the house are beautiful but the real thing is better than can be imagined! It is impeccable, comfortable and filled with quality throughout. As we walked in for the first time, we immediately noticed how immaculately clean it was...every single room was perfect. Some of the things that our family of 18 appreciated, in particular, about this property were the comfortable living room and bedroom furniture--the additional refrigerator/freezer in the garage--how close it was to the beach (just a short walk), and the 2 bunk rooms and 1 king room on the 3rd floor. All 10 of our grandchildren (ranging from 5 to 21 years old) slept and hung out there and loved it! Everyone of us is excited about returning to this house!!! Thank you, Gregg, for being so easy to reach and answering all my questions.

Beautiful home, close to the beach
We stayed at Summer Dreams for a week with family and friends. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It provided plenty of privacy since most bedrooms have a private bathroom. Pool table and shuffle board provided entertainment on the few rainy days we experienced. We loved having a private pool and short walk to Alvin’s Island and Bad Ass Coffee. Overall a wonderful stay! Be aware there are steps from the street level to the beach which make carrying chairs, coolers, etc. a little more strenuous.

House was excellent. Beach experience was poor. Too crowded. Hard to watch kids in ocean due to the countless rental umbrellas and chairs.

Living the Dream
Our week at the Smith's home was absolutely living the dream. Gregg and Margaret have thought of everything to make your vacation relaxing and enjoyable. All the comforts of home and then some! Thank you so much for opening your home to our family and others. We had such an amazing time being together as a family!

Family Getaway
After months of quarantine, this was the perfect getaway for our family. Our children and grands, a party of 17, enjoyed this beautiful home so very much. Gregg was the best homeowner we’ve ever had, and the spacious home was perfectly equipped. Our littles enjoyed the pool, and the short walk to the beach was easy for all of us. We highly recommend this beautiful property for your Florida beach getaway!

Awesome family vacation!
The property is beautiful and spacious! Our large family of 18 really enjoyed the spacious and open floor plan, proximity to the beach and the pool. The owner, Gregg, was quick to respond to any concern or question that we had and so our vacation went along fine without a hitch. Our family is already looking forward to next year!!

Beautiful home, very child friendly, amazing location!
We can't say enough great things about our stay. Gregg was very responsive (the pool heater went out and he had someone come fix it within an hour or so of contacting him). The house exceeded our expectations. As great as the pictures are, they don't do it justice! All of the adults had their own king suites with extremely comfortable beds. The kids loved having their own floor and especially loved the giant bean bags! We had a 1 year old with us and this house was perfectly equipped. The extra closet with the pack n play was perfect! It was like a mini nursery (and there are 2 of them!). There was even a full sized high chair which made meal times much easier with a baby. The pool was a great size and the ledge was perfect for the kids. Also, the location was amazing. It is within alking distance to several restaurants and the big Alvin's gift shop is right there. The beach had gorgeous soft sand and was very clean. We would definitely recommend this home and hope to be back!

Perfect Place for our Family of 22
Summer Dreams is a beautiful, beautiful place which we absolutely loved. The roomy gathering areas and bedrooms throughout the 3 floors more than lived up to our expectations. The tall ceilings made it look even bigger! Two of our sons had two infant children each, so they got the massive King suites. My wife and I "settled" for one of the 2nd floor Queen rooms, but they all were so roomy and comfortable that I didn't even sulk over not having a suite at all (don't tell my wife I was okay with it!).
The property was clean, well maintained, and well-stocked. There were plenty of kitchen utensils and place settings for all of us. The swimming pool on-site was so perfect for us. The kids really enjoyed it. We put up a screen and watched a movie one night under the stars with some of the family in the pool ... that was so enjoyable (except maybe for the croaking of the frogs!) :-)
My four sons and I enjoyed a fishing excursion out of Destin Harbor with First Light, recommended by Gregg. Great choice! Captain Steve and First Mate Wyatt were excellent!! We caught our limit of red snapper and had Brotula's fry some of the filets. Yummy! We took the rest back and grilled them on the more-than-sufficient gas grill on site.
Another great food recommendation would be Jim N' Nicks Bar-B-Q. Really good pulled pork barbecue!
Friday evening, we had a family shoot on the beach at Henderson State Park. 30-A Studios did a fantastic job getting 13 kids, ranging in age from 5 months to 17 years old, plus 9 adults to cooperate and be placed strategically for the perfect family portrait!
All questions were answered immediately and satisfactorily. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only regret was the week seemed to fly by way too fast! Thanks Gregg and Margaret for providing this perfect vacation home for the McKay family!

Was everything it said it was and more. Very spacious
Great location. Easy walk to the beach. Living and sleeping space is bigger than the pictures. Plenty of restaurants, grocery, fast food near by. Plenty of accessories if you wanted to cook at home as well. Owners were always available through the entire process and provided all the details of what to expect. Made the vacation for our family very enjoyable and relaxing. Definitely would recommend this property to anyone coming here.

Beautiful, Peaceful, Clean
We stayed here for a week with my family. The house was well accommodating for our large family. Everything was clean, up to date and beautiful. There was plenty of beds and linens to go around. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances we needed. The main floor master bath was phenomenal! The bed was incredibly comfortable, the closets were huge, the baby crib was perfect, and the bathtub & shower....WOW! The shower heads had perfect pressure and the tub was great for soaking in after a busy day with the kids. I enjoyed the pool in the mornings and the kids spent most of their waking minutes in it. They really thought the jets were cool. We could tell the owners have pride in their property. We will definitely be staying with them again!

Great for large family get together.
The house is big & with 3 levels we could all still enjoy some time apart.
Pool is wonderful, especially for the grandkids. They loved having calm waters to play in.
Kitchen & bathrooms are wonderful! Everything is fully stocked. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family to stay.

Spacious, open, welcoming!
Our family of twelve (10 adults, two children) stayed for a week.
The walk to the beach was even shorter than we thought it would be.
The home was beautiful and very adequate for our time there.
We loved the open living room area and all the couches and chairs so that everyone could easily be together in that room.
We definitely hope to return!
Thank you!!!

Great house, very responsive owners
It started with great communication with the owners and followed up with an amazing house that was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 11 kids (between 6 and 12yo). All the kids slept and hung out on the third floor with all the adults comfortable in their own bedrooms. The first floor was a great hang out and dining area for everyone. The kitchen, while small, was totally adequate for the cooking we did. The pool was a big hit too. Make sure to pay for the heat in the fringe months. You will need it. The location was literally steps from the beach. Don't hesitate to book Summer Dreams!

Christmas Vaction for a Large Family
Check in was easy and Gregg was extremely helpful and very quick to respond on any issue or question, we had throughout the stay. We had 23 people staying here, 10 adults and 13 kiddos! We never felt crowed, the two large dinning tables in the kitchen area were great. Each family had an area of the home to sleep and or retreat if they needed some space. We paid a little extra to have the pool heated and the kids had a blast. The beach is a very easy walk from the location as well, the kiddos didn’t even complain! Highly recommend and I don’t get anything extra for saying so either, encase you were wondering!

Fantastic Wedding Stay
We had the pleasure of staying at Gregg's "Summer Dreams" for 2 weeks in June for our sons wedding @ Sandestin. There were between 2-22 family members and friends staying with us the entire time. Their vacation home is well conceived for large groups like we brought. The separate living room areas on each floor were perfect for games and discussion. The open floorplan downstairs was a perfect chance for everyone to catch up/plan the days events. There is a great first floor bedroom for a couple that might have a hard time on the three floors of stairs.
We spent lots of time (around the storms) outside on patio and in pool. We used the grill for a big BBQ lunch and had ample parking for everyone the entire time.
I could go on and on about the closets and bathrooms being so large and comfortable as well.
The location to the beach was perfect! Just a quick walk around the building, across the street and you were there! The home is also pretty centrally located for quick trips to the store/restaurants etc as well.
Harborwalk area is a bit of a drive, but not too bad.
2 weeks of laundry was done as well in the convenient and large washer/dryers on main floor.
TV's were large and had plenty of cable channels for rare TV/movie nights on the big blue couch!
Gregg was helpful and communicative via phone/email.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Riding the Tail of Spring Breakers
Two others and my family rented this house for our Spring Break. The house is beautiful and in a great location. The walk to the beach is simple, and the older kids loved the freedom of walking down the street to shop or grab ice-cream. The design of the house was perfect, we had 7 boys ages 7-16 with us. I am not joking when I say we never had one fight. The house, pool and beach provided plenty of entertainment and there was plenty of room to get away if the kids needed a break.
I said we rode the tail of Spring Breakers because we came at the end of the spring break season. There were a few things that were not working as well as they would have typically. The owners, Gregg and Margaret were so fast to help us and so apologetic for things that were obviously not reported to them as not working. (For example, the ice machine had obviously been filled repeatedly with bag ice, therefore clogging the ice machine- easy fix, , the dishwasher wasn't working, but unless the cleaning service had to run it, no one would have known) One of the air conditioners wasn't working the first day we were there. Gregg had someone scheduled and there in less than 12 hours to fix it. Because of a huge storm one night, the heater on the pool went out. I called and literally within 10 minutes the pool guy showed up and had the heater working again. I cannot get stuff done at my own home that fast!
All of us staying at the house appreciated the time and dedication the owners gave us to make our spring break a memorable one. My family and I loved this house so much, we have rented it again to stay at the end of July and are bringing my whole (extended) family. I see this home as a place we will always consider when we travel to this area.

Excellent house - close to beach - we had 18 total
We had an amazing time! The house was perfect - a quick 3-4 min walk to the beach - easy for all ages. The kids loved the pool and the 2 separate bunk bed rooms - we had 9 kids with us. Thanks Gregg for letting us stay at your house!

Outstanding!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this great home. There were several bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom and shower, very close to beach and restaurants. Highly recommended. The owners provided very useful information when I requested it. Only downside was it was unseasonably cold during the week, but we still rented a pontoon and made it to Crab Island. What a blast!

We are annual (at least) visitors to the Destin area and have stayed in many homes up and down the coast, but this home by far has been our most enjoyable so far! We had 5 families and all stayed comfortably in this home. The suites were perfect for each family to have their "own space." The kitchen had all the ammenities for us to prepare meals for everyone. There was ample seating for us for meal time. We loved all of the seating areas and never felt like we were crowded or on top of each other. The kids especially loved the bunk rooms and upstairs play area. The extra little things in this home made it feel like we were living a vacation dream. The beach was very close and the community made us feel secure and exclusive. When we return to Destin this home will be at the top of our list!

Our extended family of 20 had the time of our lives in this home. We had family from St. Louis, Texas, Omaha, and California. The week could not have gone any better. Gregg and Margaret did a phenomenal job at making this house feel like a home and it was the perfect fit for our whole group. The weather was great all week, however, the waves were pretty dangerous for a good part of the week, but it did not ruin our vacation whatsoever. We loved the neon pool light and outdoor seating. The giant couch was also perfect for many people to sit on at once. The kitchen was outstanding and had everything anyone could ever need. The only thing we would suggest in the house is an ice machine, as we were always having to buy ice for our group. The walk to the beach was very short and the gated community made the home feel so much more safe and exclusive! We also had some amazing meals during our week in Destin. We ate at Pompano Joe's, Kenny D's, The Crab Trap, McGuire's and The Back Porch- all were amazing! The week flew by, but our family made memories to last us a life time. We could not be happier with our time spent in the beautiful Summer Dreams house!
