Private Pool - Golf Cart - Kid Friendly - Luxury

Welcome to the Emerald Penny, hosted by The WelcomeMatts!

Close to the beach & all the action, but private enough for a relaxing night on your secluded patio or in your private optionally heated pool as you wind down from a day of exploring! This 4BR/4BA home is located on a private cul-de-sac in a new exclusive gated community.

Experience the epitome of luxury living in a private gated community boasting exquisite houses, picturesque cobblestone streets, and an expansive community pool to complement your own private pool.

Nestled between Pompano Joe's and The Whale's Tail, the location offers unparalleled convenience, making it effortless to access all the amenities necessary for an unforgettable vacation. Immerse yourself in the local lifestyle on the secluded cul-de-sac, surrounded by fellow vacationers, while relishing in the privacy of your fully-fenced yard as you unwind and soak up the sun.

The home comes with a 6-seater, street legal, electric golf cart at no additional cost! Ditch the car rental and high gas prices! Just get to the house, and you'll be able to get around without a problem! The golf cart also makes parking around town much easier, especially during peak season.

The pool has a ledge going all the way around it...perfect for adults having a cocktail or kids to stand on while playing. Pool heating/chilling can also be added to your stay for an additional fee (see below).

Depending on your sleeping arrangements, it can sleep 15 people in beds. It's perfect for a couple families traveling together, a family traveling with grandparents, or a group of friends. Come soak up the white sand beaches and beautiful emerald waters of Miramar Beach on the Emerald Coast!

Miramar Beach Gem!

Cannot praise this property enough! Everything was beyond our expectations—from how kind and attentive Matt was, how well equipped and beautiful the property was to how convenient the location was. We’ve been traveling to Destin yearly for over 16 years as a family. I’m will be checking this property for availability first from now on!

This house was prefect and fit all our needs! We had 4 adults and 4 kiddos and we had room to spread out and chill out between indoors and the amazing backyard. Everything was so clean and organized indoors and out. The golfcart that was part of the rental was game changer in beach transport and taking an evening cruise on Scenic Drive. Matt was very responsive to any inquiries and was very clear on instructions. Sig was around each day and made sure we didn’t ever need anything. He was such a fun person to talk to and made us feel very welcome. Amazing stay and highly recommend the house and Welcome Matt’s!

Great place!!

Really nice house close to the beach. The rental manager, Matt, was awesome!! Messages from him the whole trip to give us information on or about the property. Golf cart that was provided, was extremely helpful. Definitely saved money on gas and time!! Would definitely stay at this property again.
