Miramar Beach Condo Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, Sleeps 10
The Empress Unit 601 embodies all that it implies: luxurious furnishings, spectacular accessories, balconies with sweeping Gulf AND Lake views -- in short, 2600 sq ft of breathtaking elegance. This unit is truly one of the largest, most beautiful and best located condos in Destin. RECENTLY RENOVATED. This amazing 3BR/3BA 6th floor unit with a spacious floor plan offers unparalleled views of the Gulf of Mexico, lake, and golf course from virtually anywhere in the Condo. Unobstructed views to the east and west from the Gulf front balcony provide gorgeous sunrise for that morning coffee and spectacular sunsets as you sip on an evening cocktail.
Creamy earth tones welcome you to the lap of luxury, where each bedroom has the utmost privacy and the best views in town. This open floor plan condo is tiled with luxurious travertine throughout the foyer, living room, bathrooms and kitchen. There is a full wet bar in the living room, complete with beautiful wine, martini, beer and margarita glasses for your enjoyment. There is a sound system throughout the unit, including speakers on the balcony! The high-end dining table seats 8-10 comfortably. There is also a cozy sitting area adjacent to the dining room with a gas fireplace. The Kitchen and Bathrooms have just been renovated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a double over and french door refrigerator), vessel sinks, heated Jacuzzi and rainfall shower-head!
3BR: This unit has TWO gorgeous master bedrooms with king beds - each with its own private spa like bath and balcony overlooking the Gulf. A third bedroom has two double beds and a huge window with a stunning view of the lake. An additional sleeper sofa is located in the living room.
Large tiled balconies facing BOTH the front and rear with ample comfortable seating provide a place for sunbathing, reading, dining or just enjoying the view. There is an electric grill on the lakeside balcony for those evening barbecues and a trash chute so you don’t have to leave the condo!
This spectacular condo is professionally decorated and has all the comforts of home, including a state of the art kitchen, laundry, four flat screen televisions with DVD players, and high speed wifi internet. The main TV also has a HD converter. Ipod docking cables allow you to immerse the entire unit with your musical taste. We also have movies for the whole family and games for your children. You will not find a more luxurious and spacious condo than this one!
With this rental, you are provided with two beach chairs and an umbrella in your condo that you can take to the beach, in lieu of spending $40 a day using the local beach service operator!
The Empress is a private gated property with only 44 units, semi-private elevators, private reserved parking, its own pool, and a beautifully renovated new lobby. Stroll along the beach boardwalk. Enjoy nearby tennis, golf, cycling, and check out The Whale's Tail or our favorite Pompano's Joe, where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the Gulf. The Silver Sands Outlet Mall is less than a mile to the east; Destin Commons is four miles to the west. Baytowne Wharf (in Sandestin) is only 10 minutes away. Designed to look like a quaint village, it offers restaurants, shops, free outdoor concerts, lots of activities for children and a nightlife for adults. Nearby Grand Boulevard has some of the best dining in the region.
In addition, Destin boasts the largest charter fishing fleet in the state of Florida. If you have an interest in charter deep sea fishing – Destin is the place. Over the years, Destin has evolved to be a top beach vacation destination, featuring sugar white sand beaches and emerald colored water . . . an absolutely beautiful area.

Why Jessica Forrester chose Emerald Coast-Destin Area

Our nearby management team will ensure that your stay is well looked after. We are blessed to have many repeat visitors :)
What makes this condo unique
Our condo is centrally located to many major attractions in the Destin area. We are minutes away from world class shopping, restaurants, family attractions, and of course, one of America's top beaches just steps away from the condo. The property is secure, the region is upscale and the unit is very unique!

The only place to stay in Destin
This is the 4th year at the Empress, 3rd year in 601. We loved every minute of the vacation. The property manager is always very helpful. The location is spectacular and the views from the balcony are breathtaking. The condo is well appointed and more than large enough for the 10 of us. We will continue to book this condo as long as it is available. Our family loves our time together in Destin and is the most relaxing vacation we have every taken.

Overall my vacation was wonderful. The condo was beautiful and very spacious. The only issue I had was the A/C in the master bedroom was not working properly. A repairman did come out quickly to check the unit but he was unable to fix the problem.

The Empress 601 is our favorite place to stay in Destin. The condo is beautiful and the views of the ocean are unbelievable. This was our 4th year at the Empress and will not be our last. The condo had ample room for the 10 of us with room to spare. There was new furniture in the living room and a new queen hide-abed which we did not have to use due to the ample space in the bedrooms. Love, Love, Love this condo.
Very Unfair, It's all about the principal!

The condo deco was very beautiful! and we loved the location. From the day we got there the ice maker would not make ice, the tv in the dining room was out the tv in the front bedroom was out, the out door grill was not working. The night we got there after taking baths everyone had to wash their feet before going to bed because the floors were so dirty. We mopped the floors the next day. Let me say, I reported all this and Destin Palms were very nice and professional as so was I. Two different very nice maintenance men came to look at the problems but were unable to correct the problem before we left. Normally, I would never give this type of review about anywhere I stay, but when I returned to work on Monday morning I received an email that I had been charged $50 because I didn't get everything out of the condo until 10:30. I totally understand the policy and I deserved to be charged. I'm not upset because of the money I was charged. It's the principal that I paid almost $5,000.00 for this condo and all the problems we had...I never got upset one time, but I'm 30 minutes late checking out and I get charged $50! No one offered to give me back at least a deposit or anything, not one penny. Like I said its the principal of all of it. No, because of that I would not recommend Destin Palms to anyone.

Huge beautiful condo with every amenity needed or wanted. Enjoy morning coffee or meals on the spacious front balcony overlooking pristine gulf views AND a second on the back of the condo with a gorgeous lake and golf course view. Walking distance to restaurants.
