Beach Houses in South Walton

Luxury Living on the Florida Panhandle

With everything there is to see and do along the Beaches of South Walton district of the Florida Panhandle, you may not plan to spend much time inside your vacation rental at all. Perhaps you’re thinking of a beach rental as merely a place to lay your head each night, a landing spot for your luggage as you dash to and from the white sand beach, the golf courses, shops and restaurants. Maybe you’ll have a cup of coffee or a quick snack in the house, but other than that, as long as it’s clean, you haven’t given it much thought, right? WRONG!

Where to stay during your vacation is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as you plan your trip. And while any decent accommodation will provide a place to lay your head, shower and warm your coffee, your vacation deserves so much more. And as luck would have it, there is a whole world of awesome by owner vacation rentals that offer views, amenities and unforgettable accommodations that will turn your quiet beach getaway into a vacation you won’t ever forget. You already know all the benefits of booking a by owner vacation rental instead of a hotel – plenty of room for everyone to enjoy (or to go to their own seperate corner, as my mother calls it), privacy, fully furnished kitchens so you won’t have to eat out three meals a day (or rely on lukewarm hotel lobby coffee after a late night), parking, laundry facilities and outdoor space. But did you know that Scenic has 73 by owner vacation rental properties on the Florida Panhandle alone? And that number is quickly rising? To view all of our Panhandle properties, click here. Or, take a look at two of our South Walton favorites:

Seagrove Beach


Situated directly on the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico and the Emerald Coast, this Seagrove Beach rental has everything you could ask for and more in a beach rental. Four bedrooms and four baths will comfortably house the whole group and allow for plenty of privacy while sweeping views of the Gulf  will have you believing you’re on your own private island. This house is impeccably decorated and each bedroom is beautifully furnished – no one will get the short end of the stick in this house! You may just fall in love with the home and surrounding views, and it’s ok if you do, this property is also for sale. It’s another of Ann Nunn’s gorgeous vacation rentals – and no, she did not bribe us to feature her homes, they’re just so amazing we can’t help ourselves! When you vacation in this amazing by owner vacation rental, you’ll be able to enjoy the many amenities of Seagrove Beach and the Beaches of South Walton while indulging in the luxurious solitude of this exquisite beachfront home.  

Miramar Beach

The community of Miramar Beach is one of the best kept secrets on the Emerald Coast. This wonderful beach locale is just minutes from the exciting nightlife of Destin and Sandestin but is still far enough removed to offer plenty of solitude and unspoiled beaches. The luxurious surroundings and ideal location of this Mediterranean-style Miramar Beach villa are a perfect backdrop for a memorable Florida beach vacation. Five bedrooms and five baths (three full and two half baths) suit all types of vacation groups and each bedroom is adjacent to its own balcony, affording every vacationer the pleasure of uninterrupted warm Gulf breezes and salt air. The beach is just a five minute walk down the private, gated boardwalk and the resort features a 2,000 square foot lagoon-style pool.

Wherever you stay along the Beaches of South Walton, golf, tennis, shopping, dining  and entertainment are just minutes away, ensuring a new experience at every turn. Or, just sink into your beach chair and luxuriate in the knowledge that you’ve arrived at a collection of some of the best family beaches in the United States.
