Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Miramar Beach

Rooms was clean beds was comfortable, pool was nice they had a inside heated pool and a outside pool but small for the size of the hotel 🏨

This hotel is a solid 3-star hotel. While the style is a little outdated and the old carpet holds old odors, overall it's a clean hotel. Ventilation in the indoor pool area could be added for a better experience, but the indoor heated pool makes this hotel a great option in the cold weather months. The highlights of our visit is always the staff. Most are always so friendly and helpful. Sanjay who checked us in was great and was patient with me as there was some confusion with the original reservation. He asked the right questions and took care of it for us in a friendly and timely manner. He even offered an upgrade to a suite for the hassle. Leah is very friendly and he smile and positive energy helped me get my day started as I was moving quite slowly. I appreciated her adding a bit of extra joy to my day. The housekeeping staff and the morning breakfast crew was also very accommodating and allowed us to grab a quick breakfast to go when we arrived with less than 10 min to go. Overall a great experience. We'll be back. Thanks!

What I liked: Everything was mostly clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Air conditioning worked great and there was a constant fan option. The things I didn’t like: very noisy amusement park next door till about 10 pm. Online says it closes at 9 pm but it went well past that. So don’t anticipate putting your kids to bed early. Room was small and so was the bathroom. Pool area needed some updating/ repair. But the warm indoor pool was great for the kids. I’d say for the price I paid it was worth it but I wouldn’t stay there longer than a couple of nights.

We loved the location, the friendliness of ALL of the staff, the indoor AND outdoor pool. The breakfast was nice and simple in the morning. We liked that the pool didn’t close until 10 so it gave us time to explore Destin and still come back to swim and enjoy our hotel stay.

My husband and I attended an excellent concert at Club LA and chose to stay at the summer place in when we were in town. I was a little leery because it was so much more affordable than anywhere around. I am so glad I didn’t act on that weariness and I booked it this hotel. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is well-maintained. The lobby, the elevator, the halls, the pools and our room were all very clean. They had a packed house the night we stayed and parking was a bit snug, especially for our big excursion. However, we found a place to park in the far back. The breakfast was good, but does have room for improvement. The beds were very comfortable. Our king size bed had 5 to 6 pillows on it. However, the pillows really do not do the hotel justice. Everything else at this hotel is excellent minus the pillows. Every member of the staff, including housekeeping and the breakfast staff that we had contact with were amazing, very friendly and happy. This facility has now become our preferred place to stay when we come to Destin to a concert at club LA. (We will just bring our own pillows) :)

Rooms were quiet and clean. Beds and sheets were clean. Smelled clean. Staff was nice. Breakfast was decent. Pool was clean and enjoyable. Lots of pool toys to play with. The front desk also had beach toys for borrow. Free beach access was walkable. Down the road was beach access for $2 a person and was less crowded the free option. Go carts and arcade was across the street, Walmart was down the road. I believe it was in a good location.

The breakfast was good, but the location was perfect! It was a short drive to any store, shop, or restaurant and public access to the beach was an easy walk. All the staff was nice and everything was clean . The pool is perfect for kids and adults and has bathrooms in the fenced in area around the pool .We are going back to the same spot soon.

The pool itself was the absolute gem of the property. It’s great for smaller kids and the deep end can be enjoyed by teens and adults. There is also a ledge built into the side of the pool you can sit on while in the water.

The overall stay was amazing! The room was very spacious and acommodated my family's needs. The room was also nice and super clean. My family and I also enjoyed the extra amenities such as the pool,, and the gym. Our favorite restaurants and stores were minutes away. Last, but not least, we enjoyed the easy/quick access going to and from the beach area.

Chose this hotel due to location near the beach and reasonable price/night. The room was on 2nd floor with a partial view of the Gulf of Mexico. The beds were comfortable and hot breakfast was a plus. Would have loved the pool, but it was too cold outside to use it.

Another beautiful and memorable stay at the Effie! It is luxurious and a multitude of amenities. However, there were some notable disappointments in comparison to our last stay. We couldn’t check in early as hoped. Actually, we were told it would be ready for check in by 4. It wasn’t. At 15 minutes past I inquired at the desk and was told it was ready, though I hadn’t been notified. Last year they provided a free bottle of wine. Not this year. We weren’t offered “complimentary checkin drinks” or “daily fresh cookies,” unless they count the cucumber-water station. There was hair in the shower which means it was hastily cleaned. We never received room service. We had to ask for clean towels. The rooftop pool, beautiful grounds and walkability to restaurants and shopping is what brings us back. We took advantage of the four hour bike “free” rental unlike last time and we both loved the experience. They have tennis /pickle ball courts but we didn’t use them. I wish the roof top pool was restricted to adults only all the time. The adult only hours on Fri and Sat night was far more enjoyable than the kiddie pool that it became otherwise. Pool food and drinks are very good but pricey. Service at the pool is very good. We enjoyed the DJ during adult only time. Be aware, there are tons of required fees on top of the room rate and taxes. Even a one dollar a day “charity donation,” that is never mentioned. It just shows up on the bill. Valet and self parking are too close in price.

very fresh smell once you walk in and very clean spotless! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The staff were excellent! The rooftop/pool area was amazing! My kids definitely enjoyed the pool (heated so that was a plus)

Overall hotel was wonderful! I’d recommend adult only at the rooftop pool, explanation of amenities throughout Sandestin that were available ie additional pool down the walkway wasn’t shared at check in and came across other guests with the same experience. Front desk personnel were very courteous throughout the stay and the 5’oclock cookies were a treat. Additional options for non alcoholic beer would be a nice addition.

The resort area was wonderful with everything conveniently located and available to us. The rooftop pool and bar was amazing. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and good food and drinks. The staff was excellent at the pool, at the front desk, and even the shuttle driver.

Exceptional stay! Staff was nice and so helpful, drinks at the rooftop bar were marvelous, the pool is so nice and the dj at night was the cherry on top for us. There is no better location than this… bars, restaurants, stores and activities are all at walking distance (inside resort area). We stopped at a restaurant with an awesome dance floor and had a blast. Then, we walked to another restaurant called Slick Slips and ate the best appetizers ever; in fact, everything there was amazing, but you certainly need to try the fried crab legs. Oh my God, no words for those crab legs. Going back to the hotel experience: everything was spotlessly clean, pleasant smell all around the property. Convenient vending and water+ice machine on our floor. Going for a walk around the hotel in the morning was so relaxing and refreshing. We loved the shuttle taking us to the beach BUT we didn’t enjoy the hotel beach as much because chairs and umbrellas were right next to each other, so everyone tight together. We are beach people so feeling cramped at the beach is not our vibe. We were happy that was an option but preferred to go the beach outside of the resort. Last but not least, we had our breakfast in our room every morning. Everything we tried on the breakfast menu was 10/10. We also had mimosas one morning and were not disappointed. Lovely! We loved our time there, the food, the drinks, the bed, THE SHOWER, the amenities, the rooftop, everything! Worth every penny.

The hot tub was our favorite part as we relaxed after a long day of shopping and enjoying our business trip. The cleanliness of our rooms was definitely a plus. Our son loved the pool as it was his first time in a pool. This was memorable for me and my family

Courtyard by Marriott Sandestin Grand Boulevard it is one of the most spectacular property in this upscale shopping center with excellent service and very nice and very clean & large rooms serving excellent coffee and very good breakfast and have a large and very elegant & a beautiful lobby. It is by far one of the best property in Miramar Beach, Sandestin Florida. I will definitely recommend it to everybody and we will be back for sure. I would like to mention that the hotel has a very nice swimming pool where you can relax also the property is surrounded by the best fine dinning and unique restaurants just walking distance in this upscale shopping center.

From the moment we walked in the staff was extremely polite and helpful. The hotel itself is clean, is bright and inviting, and has plenty of amenities for the price. $8 a day to add breakfast to our package was well worth it and the bistro/cafe staff were so friendly. Drinks were a little pricey but to be expected for the convenience. The pool and hot tub were clean and relaxing to make for an overall fun and enjoyable stay. We visited a beach only about 10 mins from the hotel as well as plenty of dining options,shopping, or different activities.

Staff was very courteous, facility was in great shape . Room and shower were clean . Pool was well maintained. Overall great experience. Only concern was when i ask the staff for late check out they couldn't let it be no later than noon . A lot of properties let you check out like 1 pm specially when you are marriott bonvoy member , which apperently didnt apply to me as i booked my reservation through hotels.com Other than that 5 star , i highly recommend this place

Great location. Nice staff. Pool is nice. It is right by a great shopping and restaurant area so you don't have to drive if you don't want to. Very quiet even with a lot of families staying here. We had a room with two queen beds. Very comfortable, updated and enough space for everyone and all of our luggage. Great plus that you don't have to pay for parking!

This was such a hidden gem! Very close to public beach access, downtown shopping, hwy to get into Destin (10-15 min drive), pool access was also super convenient to the room! Sweet little balcony, that allowed you to view the grounds, which are beautiful, while I had my morning coffee and quiet time. There was a wedding at the chapel on site on Saturday night, the bride was stunning! It was very nice to be able to sit and watch the festivities from afar outside. The music was a little loud (during the reception I’m sure), and could be heard from our room a little. This did not bother us at all, but if you have a light sleeper, early to bed type person, I may would check to see what events are booked. The staff was wonderful, check in was a breeze and check out was even simpler. The room itself had everything you could need, except sugar! lol. Pots, pans, dishes, coffee pot, coffee & creamer, teas, washer & dryer (they provided a few pods to use!). Would 100% recommend this little boutique hotel to anyone searching for a stay in this area! Super clean and close to everything, and again, a hidden gem!

Broken chairs at pool, weird broken things in hall and stairwell, but room was perfect and pool itself was clean

30A Suites is a fantastic place to stay in Santa Rosa Beach. Restaurants, coffee shop, and beaches all within one mile from the hotel. I love children, but it is nice to stay at a place that is only for adults. The pool was clean and quiet too. I will definitely stay at 30A Suites the next time I am in SRB.

Very nice boutique Inn & Suites. Loved the suite we stayed in. Full kitchen, living room, table for two to eat on, comfortable bed & nice bath. Pool area was very close (although not heated so we didn’t use it since it’s Nov.) Easy drive to stores & restaurants and beaches nearby. Will definitely stay here again.

Locational perfect , prize good , I would like the pool to be open until later I would like to have a better AC system the main room was not as cold as the one close to the door that get all the cool air because of the position the AC is located
