Holidays on the Sand | Private Gulf-Front Beach Retreat
November and December bring a new kind of magic to the Emerald Coast—soft winter light, glassy waves, and skies that glow long after sunset. As the crowds disappear, Vesper Dunes transforms into your private beachfront retreat for family gatherings and coastal celebrations.
Wake to the sound of the surf, sip coffee while dolphins glide by, and let time slow down between shared meals and beach walks. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving by the Gulf, unwrapping gifts to the sound of the waves, or ringing in the New Year under a sky full of stars—this is beachfront living, redefined.
🏡 Three Levels of Thoughtful Design
First Floor: King suite + custom bunk room for comfort and convenience.
Second Floor: The heart of the home—kitchen, dining & living with panoramic Gulf views and expansive decks.
Third Floor: Two king suites, including one with stunning beachfront views.
🏖 Barefoot Bliss
Step straight from your door onto sugar-white sand—no streets, no crowds, just your own private path to the beach.
🌅 Evenings on the Coast
Rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the grill, and gather on the balcony as the horizon fades from gold to indigo. The beach may be quieter this time of year—but the memories last even longer.

Our Story: Salt Air, Sandy Toes & Family Traditions We began our venture into short-term rentals with a passion for the outdoors—mountains, forests, and quiet starry nights—but that only captured part of what draws us to nature. The beach holds a different kind of magic, and the next chapter starts right here—where the emerald waves kiss the white shores and time slows down with every salty breeze. We’re a beach-loving family who believes in morning walks on the sand, sunset dinners on the deck, and the kind of laughter that only happens after a full day of sunshine. For years, we visited Miramar Beach, drawn to its soft sands, teal waters, and the laid-back spirit of the Destin area. Eventually, we knew we wanted to create a place of our own—somewhere to build memories and share that same magic with others. That’s how Vesper Dunes came to life. Family-owned and personally managed, this beachfront retreat was designed for connection—where beach days roll into game nights, where sand-covered kids nap in the bunk room, and where every corner reflects the care we’d give our own home. If you're looking for the ultimate beachfront experience in Destin, where the ocean is your backyard and every day ends with a sunset over the Gulf, Vesper Dunes is your destination. Welcome to Vesper Dunes—where beach dreams become family traditions.
