My family and I had an excellent time at this property. It was beautiful and well kept. I would recommend this property to family and friends visiting the area.
We loved our stay at Beach Baby! We had a 3 month old with us, and were super worried about coming to the beach for our first vacation with him. We are so thankful that we chose to stay at Beach Baby. The house was great and the closeness to the private beach can't be beat! Also, Alex and his team were the absolute best to work with.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect; just steps from the beach. The host and contact person for our property during our stay was responsive and helpful.
This house was very beautiful, clean, and in the perfect location! The neighborhood is so nice! We were steps away from the beach! We loved it and we’ll definitely be booking again!
Great 5 day get-away in this very nice, comfortable home. Beach access was close, location was prime, and within walking distance to local grocery store.

Great location and accommodations!
Beach Baby was a great house for our 4 families! The close proximity to the beach was amazing and our littles loved the pool! We had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the golf cart to make quick runs to the grocery store or just to ride around. The beach was great and always clean from the seaweed each day. We will definitely look at staying here again in the future!
House and location were perfect. Beach service was excellent. There is a restaurant a short walk in distance we discovered the last night called the Surf Hit on the beach. We plan to return next year
My sisters, cousins and I, had a wonderful time. The house was in the perfect location, and the beach was amazing. Wonderful restaurants only 5-10 minutes away. I would definitely stay here again!!!

Beach Baby
Beautiful home - Great location. Short walk to the beach.
Golf cart was very nice to be able to utilize for going shopping at the outlets, beach stores, grocery store, restaurants and morning coffee.
This location was exactly what we were looking for! The space was perfect for our 10-person group, ranging in age from 3 to 78. Perfect walking distance to the beach and the golf cart was perfect for the grocery store.
What a beautiful home! We had a fantastic stay here. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 children. The golf cart was a great bonus as well as all the toys and chairs for the beach. My 75 year old mom and 3 grandchildren (ages 1, 2, and 4) were all easily able to walk the short distance to the beach. Highly recommend!
This is our second year staying at the Beach Baby house. As always, the accommodations were excellent and the responsiveness of the management team was top notch. We usually do not have any questions, as the instructions are laid out well and everything is always in order, but when items come up, the team responds immediately. Location to the beach is excellent and there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We will definitely be looking to book again next March. Thank you for always making the stay so enjoyable.

Unparalleled Vacation Rental Experience!
Without a doubt, this is the finest house we've ever rented for our vacations. In every aspect - cleanliness, professionalism, hospitality, steps to a spectacular beach, and the sheer architectural beauty - this place left us utterly awestruck. Needless to say, a return visit is already in our plans. If you find yourself hesitating about booking this house, trust me, just click "book." I assure you, you're in for one of the most memorable times of your life at this exquisite resort-style residence.

PERFECT in every way!
Beach home @ 30a Beach girls. This vacation was one of the best trips. Our home was so perfectly maintained and beautiful! Steps from the beach with everything you need, so many awesome beach items in garage. Jada, Maci and Hollie are very responsive when you need anything or have questions! Restaurants and fun are very close by. We will be back again!

Yet another exquisite journey!
This residence encapsulates perfection and surpasses all expectations. Our return visit with this company then to this enchanting abode only deepened our admiration. Its proximity to the beach, coupled with the resplendent cleanliness and spacious elegance, ensures an ideal haven for our family. The management's exceptional level of accommodation further enhances the overall experience. Expressing our gratitude once again 30a beach girls for facilitating yet another remarkable trip!
It was a great stay! We did have an issue with the pool but the property manger/host were quick communicate and resolve it. There are a few outlets that were not completely put into the wall so we did have to keep a close on our toddlers to make sure they were not touching them. Unfortunately those outlets were in the kids room. The house was clean and shocked with plenty of towels and beach towels. There was so much to offer in the garage for the beach. The golf cart was so nice and convenient to have also. Overall this is a great house for families to stay at and we really enjoyed our time in Miramar beach!

Family fun
My 4 children and I stayed at Beach Baby for a 4 day vacay. Everything was perfect and the house included everything we could possibly need. I mean everything! In the garage there are many things for fun days at the beach including chairs, umbrella, and beach toys/games for the kids. There is a 6 seat electric golf cart that I did not use because I just didn’t want the hassle of using 2 car seats but it looked to be pretty new and fun. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kids especially enjoyed the pool. The outdoor shower was appreciated after coming from the beach. The kids and I couldn’t ask for anything else for our first Florida vacation! This house was really a perfect pick!
We enjoyed our time at the Beach Baby! The house is well equipped and very spacious. When we arrived, the heated pool option was not functioning correctly, but it was quickly taken care of by Coastal Retreats and we had no issues the rest of our stay. We rented chairs/umbrellas on the beach each day, which was very affordable and easy. I will, however, say that some of the neighbors who are owners in the neighborhood were not kind to some other renters during our stay and requested "private beach access with no interrupted view" to themselves, even after the families who were staying in the neighborhood had been at the beach for several hours before the owners arrived. I do not find it appropriate to single out owners on the beach, as the renters who choose to rent in this area have paid a fair amount to stay and should have equal access to any area of the beach for Shipwatch. We would definitely stay here again!

LOVED!!!!
Great location! Beautiful home! Truly a 2-3 minute walk from the beach. My 3 and 1 year old were both able to walk to and from the beach by themselves it was so close. Great neighborhood. Quick response when we had some AC problems that were immediately fixed. Cute kids room upstairs with bunk beds. Beds were comfortable. House has a ton of beach stuff in the garage to use. No need to rent chairs or umbrellas. Pack a wagon to bring it to the beach. Great area. Winn Dixie right across the street and lots of restaurants. Only complaint was walking up to the 3rd floor with my kiddos but I just got a work out for the week!
The property is beautiful and fully furnished. Everything you could ever want or need in the kitchen. There were labels on everything which was very convenient.
We had an issue with the WiFi and pool heating on arrival both of which were quickly addressed. Alex was very responsive and was very accommodating. Great customer service.
There is a very short walk to the beach. Shorter than it looks on the map. The beach is beautiful white sand. We did not rent chairs or umbrellas because the home had all the beach accessories available to us in the garage. Definitely appreciated.
We never used the golf cart- but it looks brand new. Having the grocery store so close we walked for any grocery needs.
We would definitely stay here again.
Location is perfect- not super busy like Destin.
