I actually didn’t know what to expect when we got to Under the Tuscan Sun but this house was fabulous, location was amazing, a tiny walk around the corner to private beach access with chair/umbrella rental waiting as you walk into the beach area. The house was as described but sleeping arrangement was even better than I thought, the pull out couch wasn’t the living room couch it was in a private area on first floor so no one had to sleep in the family room area. We had 18 in our party, each room has a bathroom attached to it. Plenty of room and bathrooms for our large family. Check in and out super simple as well. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a rental in Miramar.

We loved the house and the development we were at. We stayed at under the Tuscan Sun. We love the area and the house. It was just within minutes of the beach and that was wonderful.

The family had a great time . The house was clean, great communication with the host. Plenty of room for family and friends. There was some minor issues. the doors wouldnt stay locked to the master bedroom. The doors would push open when the air-conditioning was on. also mini fridge does not work on third floor, and the outside shower knob is broke, have to play with it to shut it off. And it would have been nice to have some spices available in the kitchen. the outside grill, could have been cleaner. Other then that, we would stay there again, great house, neighborhood, beautiful beach.

Amazing home. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out yet a luxurious family / kitchen space to accommodate our size 18 family. Oversized island & grand dining table gave everyone a place to eat. 3 floors but no worries about the 2nd & top.....theres an elevator! Master suite~~ "life styles of the rich & famous" ??No autographs please. Pool was heated and swam in every day @ Thanksgiving time. Nice breeze on 2nd & top Patios. Perfect access to beach... 1 minute walk.....out the door 3 houses to right & we were looking at crystal blue water. Nice quality decking at private entrance perfect for sunset pics. Host company text me before we arrived to connect. Coffee maker gave out, text them, new coffee pot within 15 minutes. Do it. Refresh. Enjoy. We did. ??

The property was beautiful and very clean. We had a large group and lots of kids. The kids had a blast at the house and it was a great location. Private beach was nice and made it easier watching the kids in the water as our area was not crowded. No issues at all at the house and everything was simple to use. We didn't think we would use the elevator but it ended up being very helpful with all the stairs and children. We had a great time. Worth every penny! Highly recommended for large groups!

We had a crew from 8 months old to 76 years of age. It was great for all of us. Being able to walk to the beach was awesome. Having the private beach also made it great because we were able to keep away from others with the virus concerns looming. We made dinner in the house every night because of the virus and ran into some issues with the stovetop that a previous post had mentioned. It still functioned but it was a little annoying. We loved that they had an ice machine and extra large fridge. We also made use of the grill. We would like to come back when we can walk to the restaurants. The pool is not huge but adequate. Overall, we had a great stay.

Newman-Dailey Response:
Thank you so much for leaving your review! It warms our hearts to know that you had a great stay and that Under the Tuscan Sun was a great place for your large family gathering. We have had the gas stove looked at by our appliance repairman, the clicking noise is caused by excess moisture which can be from a pot boiling over, from water getting in the burner from cleaning or just too much humidity. We are sorry if it caused you any concern, but we were happy to see that you enjoyed the ice machine, the extra-large refrigerator, and the grill. This is a beautiful home with a fantastic location, and we are so glad your family was able to enjoy it. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach soon!
The house was amazing and since we arrived on March 14, we experienced the COVID-19 pandemic situation as it ramped up until the beach closures on afternoon of March 19. We stayed in the house 80% of the time and enjoyed our private pool. We would absolutely recommend this property and hopefully can return and enjoy the beach when things get back to normal!

Tuscan Under the Sun was absolutely beautiful and breath taking, perfect for a large family vacation with all of the extras. It was beautifully decorated fireplace did not work but it still was ok. Needs a few minor repairs. We would stay here again without any hesitation because every person in our party had a great time. Newman-Dailey was great when we called for maintance work they were right there.

We truly enjoyed our week at this property. We had a maintenance issue and the staff of Newman-Dailey could not have been more helpful. Lisa, the property manager was very accommodating.
My experience in renting beach houses (no matter how expensive) is that the sofas are usually really worn out and you are lucky to get a few good mattresses in the house.
The kitchen in this home is fully stocked plus there are plenty of linens. Also, we had a toddler and we found a gate in one of the closets. We used this to block off the main entrance into the living area. It was a lifesaver keeping our grandson away from the staircases.
Even though the pool is really small it stayed cool due to having a deeper end. We loved it!
I will definitely book my future visits through Newman-Dailey!

My family spent one week at Under the Tuscan Sun and it was perfect. It is a beautiful home in a great location - close to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores and more. The private pool was a fantastic bonus because we had 4 children age 3 and younger. We would spend the morning on the beach and the afternoon in the pool! We have already reserved this house for our 2020 family vacation! 5 stars!

We rented this house for Memorial Day Weekend and it was the perfect getaway. It had everything we needed, from 6+ BRs, to open concept kitchen/dinning area, to pull out couches & plenty of space for parking. We could actually fit 2 cars in the garage and 4 in the driveway if needed. This house was also very close to the beach, about 2 minute walk & includes umbrellas and chairs with the house already set up for you. We can't wait to stay here again!

We stayed for spring break and loved the location not to mention the extra amenities that Newman Daily provides with the beach service and free activities. There was a fridge in the garage for extra storage too. We would definitely stay here again and will use Newman Daily again.

We came down with 4 families and had plenty of room for everyone with luxury amenities. Easy access to dining and beach. Lower level is outstanding for giving the kids their own space and easy access to run in and out to the pool to cool off at the end of the day. Definitely would come back to this one again, everyone loved it.

This home is like no other I've stayed. It is gorgeous. The fact we could just walk across the street and have our beach chairs set up daily was magnificent. I can not say enough good things about Newman-Daily Rentals. Actually, I'm already planning next years vacation with them. Thanks for the great time!!!

My wife and I were able to gather fourteen of our family members (children, spouses and grandchildren) to celebrate my wife's eightieth birthday. Since we stayed in "Under the Tuscan Sun" three years ago we knew what we were renting and decided it would be a good place to gather again.
Our stay was enjoyable as anticipated. The Gulf waters and beach were great. A couple of minor items were taken care of immediately even on Sunday. The fact that we returned should be evidence enough that the house and your service were great. Thanks for taking good care of us again.

We had 4 different families get together this year for a Destin vacation and we stayed at this gorgeous home. It was plenty big for all of us to have "together" and private time. It's a beautiful home and has everything you could possibly need while on vacation. It was conveniently located near restaurants, shopping and of course the beach! We would love to come back year after year! Thank you Newman-Dailey for making this house available and for easy booking and check-in too!

We had such a wonderful time staying here! It was the perfect house for us to share with our friends and their family. The layout is perfect and everything is so nice and upscale looking. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the adults loved all the outdoor patios and balconies for catching up. The kitchen and gathering areas were more than adequate to accommodate all of us. It was also really nice that the house was located just minutes from the beach and very close to everything we wanted to do in the Destin area! I can't say enough about Under the Tuscan Sun....except I wish I could live there all the time!

We had a great time in the heated pool which lighted up in different colors at night. It also has a radio that's connected which is great for outside parties or a bbq.
The rooms are well equiped with beds for a large group and the beach is easily accessible by leaving the garage and walking a block across the street. The kitchen is well stocked with all appliances and silverware. I was in need of a blender, but both of the available ones weren't functioning properly. So, other than a blender the kitchen only needs food to be up and running. The house also has an elevator which helped with carrying bags up the three flights. The management was great to work with. Everyone loved the house and had no complaints. Enjoy!!

Under the Tuscan Sun condo was the best choice we could have made. We had 15 people stay there for my daughters wedding (held at the Embassy Suites Hotel...which was also awesome). The house was perfect and could not have been any better. The bedroom layout and pool were great. The 2nd floor kitchen area you will see in the pictures is ideal for having everyone over All I could say for weeks after was....BEST TIME and PLACE EVER. The rental staff at Newman-Dailyey was also great and took care of all our needs. This will be on the top of my least for next trip back to Destin....btw...beach/water/sand at Destin is second to none.

First, Newman-Dailey was great. Always had answers to my questions and represented the home exactly as it was. Secondly, "Under the Tuscan Sun" was a beautiful home and met our needs perfectly. The home was absolutely beautiful. It was close to the beach, clean and plenty of towels and bedding for all. (Could have had a few more pots - cooking for a large number of people with only one large pot was a little challenging). We had our mother (83 yrs old), her three children and their families. Ages from 83 to 7 months. Never did we feel crowed or that there just wasn't enough room. Everything was just as we expected or better. As soon as we decide on dates for next year this home (if available) will be our first choice. If the home is rented we will be so disappointed but will continue to work with Newman Daily.

This was our 3rd year to stay in this house and we love it. It really feels like home. There are 12 of us, four families with five kids. The house is perfect and so close to the beach. Our only request is a second refrigerator, maybe in the garage. The one in the kitchen is a good size but we always pack it full. We keep our drinks in an ice chest since the frig is so full. We could never complain about this house, we just wish it was "on" the beach. We drive from Dallas & North Carolina. The people at Newman-Dailey are always so nice and very helpful.

The person at your office got us started on the right foot. She took her time to make sure that we understood where to go, how to use the activity passes, and other general information. The house was beautiful. My grandchildren loved having their own pool. Everyday they spent time at the beach. Every day our chairs and umbrellas were waiting for us at the beach. Having one free round of golf daily was really great. The grandchildren enjoyed their day at "The Trac." For 2 hours our group went on waverunners with a guide to explore the gulf and the bay. What a great time!!!

Under the Tuscan Sun is a gorgeous home! Best house we have stayed at in Destin! We have been coming to Destin for over 10 years and this is the best house by far! It's set up nicely for lots of kids and multiple families. We had 6 adults and 8 kids between the ages of 2-16 and everyone had plenty of room! The location to the beach is awesome and the beach chair service on the beach was awesome! The pool is pretty small but perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach!
Newman Dailey was great and would definitley come back to them and this home!

The house is beautiful. The furnishings are wonderful. Love the tile floors and the counter tops. The only negative thing I can say is that the floors and carpet could be a little cleaner.

We have rented vacation homes in several locations. The size of the home was great for 16 people and the amenities were nice. The house could have been cleaner. There were spots on tile floors, sand downstairs and rugs were filthy.
For this size house, the kitchen could use better utensils...pots, pan & knives, etc. for cooking. The microwave died on the first day but managers delivered a counter top for use.

My family and I loved the house we stayed in. We rented a house last year down the way and we thought we were in heaven. When we arrived at our house this year, we were so excited. The house was wonderful. We were in heaven this year! The door didn't lock so we called and the problem was fixed right away. Great service while we were there. We went across to the beach and the chairs were waiting on us and we were checked on to make sure we were fine or needed anything. The location to the beach was great since we had children (6) with us, ages from 15 years to 20 months. The walk wasn't to far from the house to the beach, a plus!!! I can't say anything bad about the house, the service, or the beach. I can say "Thank goodness the tar wasn't there when we were!" We had a great time!

Under the Tuscan Sun provided a beautiful location for the entire family to spend a week near the Destin beach. With 10 of us, 3 grown children, spouses and grandchildren, we each had sufficient privacy with plenty of common area. The large well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed for our group as well as providing room to host a party for about 50 friends to celebrate the engagement of our son to his beautiful girlfriend. The grand children loved the pool. It was only a short walk to the beach. The rooms are tastefully appointed and the elevator made it easy to get the luggage to the top floor.

We had family from Dallas, TX and Charlotte, NC drive to Destin, FL. on Friday, July 3rd. Saturday we had trouble with the dishwasher and the TV in the den. I called the office Sunday morning, not expecting service until Monday, and there was a service man at our door Sunday morning at 10:30am. He fixed everything, WHAT SERVICE!
Under The Tuscan Sun is a wonderful home and we all loved the accomodations. The only complaint we had was the mattresses. They all sounded like they had plastic around them, but they did not.
The location from the house to the beach was perfect and you could not ask for better amenities. The set ups on the beach were always there and Mathew took very good care of us. We took advantage of the golf, water park, and swimming with the dolphins.
Under The Tuscan Sun really felt like home. With four families, we all had plenty of room and we were able to all congregate in the kitchen where everyone bonds the most. What a vacation, it was AWESOME! This was our first time to Destin and we will be back!

The house was great! Our family had alot of fun. The one complaint I have is our washer tore up the first night we were there. I called Newman Daily and reported it. Our washer did not get fixed until the night before left. With sixteen people we all packed planning we would have a washer. My brother had to leave a day early because of it because his kids ran out of cloths. The lady at newman daily offered to wash our cloths, but my family did not want someone else washing their garments. When you spend 5,100.00 you just expect to have the luxury to have a washer.

We had 8 adults and 6 children aged 4 through 11 who stayed in this property for a week and it was just about perfect! Our favorite things were the third floor bedroom and bath, the first floor media room (where the kids spent most of their time), the big icemaker, the swimming pool, the elevator and the large second floor kitchen, eating areas and den. Had trouble with the elevator and the dishwasher but N/D was quick to respond. Disappointed that dishwasher couldn't be fixed since previous guests mentioned it too. Short walk to beach was nice and private access to beach was wonderful! Loved the beach service! A few more trashcans (especially in baths) and two sets of towels and washcloths would have been nice. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we would absolutely stay in this property again! Newman-Dailey was pleasant to work with and did their best to make our stay enjoyable! I would have no hesitation in using Newman-Dailey for any vacation rentals in the future.

First of all Kobi is the BEST agent at Newman Dailey. She has bent over backward to make sure that everything is always just spectacular for our family. This property was absolutely wonderful and we could not have had a better time. The bedrooms are spacious and while wonderful, nothing compares to the extra large kitchen and great room. All of us could be in there together and not get in each other's way. This vacation was absolutely by far the best we have ever had.
