Miramar/Destin Beach 2 properties

Question

Where is the best search to use for trying to find two properties (condo's, houses, cottages) that can be side by side or near? Planning a big family trip in August 1-3 and need 2 places to accommodate 9 persons each.

Answer

When planning a large family trip in Destin or Miramar Beach and needing two properties close together, the key is to use vacation rental platforms that allow you to view multiple properties within the same complex or street. Availability in early August can be tight due to peak summer season, so it’s best to start searching early.

Here are the main approaches and search tools:

VRBO / HomeAway: Excellent for filtering by location, property size, and amenities. Use the map view to find two rentals side-by-side or very close together. Many condos in Destin and Miramar Beach complexes are listed individually, so you can see clusters of units.
Airbnb: Airbnb also has a map-based search, and you can often message hosts directly to ask if adjacent or nearby properties are available. Some larger complexes have multiple listings managed by the same host.
Local vacation rental agencies: These often have multiple units in the same condo complex or nearby cottages. Examples include:
- Southern Vacation Rentals
- Sandestin Realty Vacation Rentals
- Destin Vacation Rentals
You can call and ask specifically for two units that are next to each other or nearby, which is sometimes easier than relying on online availability filters.
Beachfront condo complexes or gated communities: Look for popular complexes like Crystal Beach, Silver Shells, or Majestic Beach. These often have multiple units in the same building or complex that can accommodate large groups.

Tips to maximize success:

Use the map view on VRBO or Airbnb to check clusters of rentals.
Contact hosts or rental agencies directly to inquire about availability for multiple units.
Be flexible with check-in/check-out times or small variations in location within the same neighborhood to get units close together.
Consider splitting across two adjacent streets or neighboring complexes if exact side-by-side units aren’t available.

In summary, VRBO, Airbnb, and local vacation rental agencies are your best tools. Map view searches combined with direct contact with hosts or agencies give the highest chance of securing two properties near each other for your family of 18 in early August.
