Select a cozy vacation rental

Start by selecting the perfect vacation rental. Does your special someone enjoy long leisurely baths? If so, be sure to select a rental with a Jacuzzi tub. Does your significant other enjoy the sound of the surf? If so, be sure to select a Gulf-front rental with a balcony. Want to warm up together? Consider selecting a rental with a heated pool or hot tub. The Newman-Dailey team can help you find the perfect South Walton or Destin vacation rental based on your preferences. And with winter rates still in effect, you’ll love the savings.

Make it personal

Our vacation specialists can help arrange to have your favorite flowers, candy, or fruit basket waiting in the vacation rental upon your arrival. In addition, area restaurants enjoy catering to guests. Make reservations in advance and pre-order dessert to have a special note or Happy Valentine’s Day written in chocolate on the plate.  Award-winning restaurants, such as Seagar's Steak & Seafood, Bijoux and Emeril's Coastal Italian in Miramar Beach, Beachwalk Cafe and Soleil in Crystal Beach, or Vue on 30A and Mimmo's Italian Restaurante along 30A are just a few of the great restaurants that are more than happy to make your meal extra special.
