Location was ideal. House was well-appointed and had a high level of finishes. Nice, quiet end of the beach with spectacular views and sunsets. The rental company was responsive when we encountered small issues. Overall, the house is elegant, sleek, and an ideal vacation spot. The elevator was essential for one member of our party and made all the difference.

Amazing rental

This rental has it all! Beautifully designed and decorated, FULLY stocked kitchen, and the beach is within feet of the home! Everything was clean and tidy! There was an issue with the WiFi on the third floor for a couple of guests, but we worked around it. May need to add an extender, but other than that this place was perfect!!

Outstanding Family Vacation

Beautiful house with plenty of room for our family of 20. Response to any issues and questions was Immediate and taken care of quickly . Having two full size refrigerators was huge. Private beach with chair setup was very nice and beach was not crowded. Pool was great for the smaller ones. We definitely plan to be back.

Easy Breezy

Best trip ever! Easy breezy From check in to check out. The home was perfect as was the location. Could bike anywhere we wanted and just walked out the back door to the beach. State park 4 miles down the road for those that want to hike or bike and access to the beach and a lake. Just beautiful! A week isn’t long enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Family Beach Fun

This was a lovely beach property for a family vacation including 10 adults and 10 children under the age of 7yrs. The home has great amenities and accommodations for all. The open kitchen is well equipped for large meal prep and service with ocean views. The grill was used for salmon and grouper dinners. We all slept comfortably. The beach access was great for our crew and the property manager and owner were responsive to ensure that the pool heater was functioning properly during our stay. We had the best time and made many happy memories!

LOVE Shipwatch Palazzo!

Our work group of 9 ladies could not have been happier! We LOVED everything about this beach house: check in/out instructions were clear, good communication with property manager, plenty of space, very clean, beautiful view/right on the beach, super close to outlet stores, groceries,& restaurants, included chair/umbrella setup each day with plenty of additional chairs available in the downstairs storage area, 2 car garage for ease in parking, access to 4 bicycles. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend Shipwatch Palazzo! :)

February Birthday Celebrations

The house location was perfect and close to everything. The house itself was in very good shape, there were some spots of water damage on the outside but nothing the hindered our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and updated. There were two complaints about the mattresses in each bedroom on either side of the laundry room, they were said to be hard and slightly uncomfortable. The kitchen was phenomenal, all of the pots/pans/bowls/etc that you could need. The front load washer and dryer were quiet and work like a dream. The elevator was extremely helpful, as we did have older (70+) family members use it. The extra fridge came in handy and the circulating fans in rooms was a nice touch.

Would definitely stay again.Here is my only feedback:* Wifi range was very poor, all guests had issues with Wifi.* Basement door does not have a deadbolt on the inside. We had young children that could reach and operate the handle, it would have been nice to have a lock up higher.* The large double doors did not seem to be fully lockable, using the integrated locking system did not prevent them from just being pushed open.Thanks for a great stay. We would definitely recommend to others as well as stay again.

EXCELLENT!!

Would definitely book again! The house worked perfectly for our large group of 21. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you’d need to cook for a large group. The location is great as it’s close to a grocery store and restaurants. The best part was the view and beach! Oh and the beach access right out the back door! One of the nicest beaches we’ve visited. It was a bonus to have beach service daily that includes 4 chairs and two umbrellas. There were additional chairs in the house that we used daily. One of our favorite things about the house was the deck with table and chairs. Each morning, we had coffee watching the sunrise over the ocean. A bonus - we saw dolphins each morning! Communication with property management was excellent and very responsive! The only thing that we wished was different is the late check-in time and early check-out. It was a little stressful getting a group of 21 out the door by 9am but we managed! :) We are already considering a second trip!! We had the best time!

Great place

Very lovely property. Very well stocked and clean. Very impressed! However, we had a few issues that were frustrating. We followed the guidelines and kept all three floors thermostat on 72. The 3rd floor never got above 66. People were miserable up there. We were given additional blankets. The dishwasher is useless. We rinsed everything and dishes still came out dirty. It's a weird style that can only run top or bottom at a time so used double the dishwasher pods. With 16 people we were running it constantly. All the nonstick pans were damaged and should not be used. When we pulled out the griddle it had been put away dirty and was really caked with food. We have rented many vacation homes, even others in Miramar beach. The 9a check-out and 5p check-in is ridiculous. (even our Lyft driver said he never heard of this.) And to be honest, some of the language in the rental contract is a bit off-putting. According to the contract, if the rental is available earlier than 5p, then you can PAY $50 to enter one hour earlier (at 4p). BUT, if they are running late and the unit is not available at 5p, then the renter needs to be "patient". I texted a question and instead of an answer, was sent a link to the guidelines (which I had read carefully and did not have the answer to my question). We don't think we would do another rental with Breathe Easy. Individual owners are so much more flexible and accommodating. Everything else was great and we had a wonderful week with family.
