Grand Welcome Destin & Miramar Beach is a "welcome" breath of fresh air from the other corporate vacation managers. Ian takes his job serious and your property is treated like his own. Grand Welcome understands that a vacation rental property is not just there to get abused by guests. Any issues are immediately corrected and I am notified of the issues to ensure the best guest satisfaction. Not having to call the "property manager" after I see repeated negative reviews.
We recently stayed a week at Beachfront Bliss at Shoreline Towers. This condo was clean, and had an awesome view of the Gulf of Mexico. Our family appreciated the communication and text messages we received from Grand Welcome Destin welcoming us an keeping us informed about our stay. We booked direct through Grand Welcome Destin and will definitely book this same condo again.
Ian and Kumar’s dedication to helping make our unit the best and communication skills have been part of our reason to move our property to their stewardship. We look forward to working with them in the future.
So excited to see this company come to the area! Ian was such a big help and has answered all of my questions thoroughly. Very impressed with everything so far!

I've been visiting this incredible Airbnb in Destin, Florida, for at least three years in a row, and it never disappoints. The location is unbeatable, with the boardwalk just a 7-minute drive away. If you're feeling a bit lazy, you can easily call a taxi boat to take you there or to any nearby restaurant, as the house is conveniently situated on a canal.One of the highlights for my family and me is the privacy. There's a private beach access point just a 4-minute walk away, leading to the best side of the beach I've ever seen. It might sound crazy since it's the same coast, but the beach for this neighborhood is uniquely calm and peaceful. We wouldn't trade it for anything else in the US. It's hard to express how much we love this condo, especially for that private beach. Highly recommended!
We had a great time at rum runners retreat! The place was great and couldn’t beat the location. Right by the beach and lots of great restaurants nearby! Ian and Kumar were amazing hosts.
We just signed on with them and our unit is already booked out for the summer! These guys rock, highly recommend working with Kumar and Ian!
