Southern Grace is Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey Southern Grace is the perfect name for this luxurious five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home located in the gated community of Emerald Waters Village in Miramar Beach, Florida. Driving up to the carport with its elegant lighting and beautiful wood ceiling, you know you are somewhere special before you even enter the home. You’ll notice right away the convenient outdoor shower to wash off those sandy feet before entering the kitchen. Floors the color of driftwood, delicate gray walls, and fresh white décor cause you to breathe a sigh of contentment when you enter through the front door and take in the open floor plan. You have arrived for your perfect Florida beach vacation.

There is a washer and dryer on both floors and an extra cozy seating area on the second floor. A few blocks away is the private beach access.

The private beach is not worth the walk. There is a private rental company that sets up chairs and umbrellas along the water line. They set them up before their stand even opens so you can’t get a spot with a view of the water. The umbrellas were so close to each other we could barely walk between them to get to the water. There is almost a big set of stairs to get down to the beach instead of a ramp which made hauling infant twins and our beach items very difficult. ##### Leigh M.

Beds doesn't have comforter only thin blankets ... not good for skinny body who feels so cold while sleeping... dryer on 2 floor wasn't drying at all.. I was so tired to have so many issues that I use the one on main floor. Resuming I won't go again. And I don't recommend. I wish they get better on cleaning this beautiful property.
