Miramar Beach houses are special because they are located directly on the sand. That being said, the homes were all built in the early 1900s and are petite in nature. You must be comfortable on stairs, because you must descend a set of stairs to get to the front door (top level of the home). Please note that because the homes are quite close to each other, the deck is close to the neighbor's deck.

Walkable to the Rosewood Miramar Resort restaurants, shops and beach bar. Gated parking and easy arrival and check-in process. It's a cute cozy cottage, and - as the description mentions - the downstairs is completely separate via an outdoor staircase.
