7. Chic penthouse situated in Miramar Beach (from USD 386)

Living or briefly staying at a penthouse somewhat has that indescribable feeling. It carries prestige and a sense of arrival. Penthouses are much quieter than apartments and condo units since they’re further from the street noise below. Moreover, penthouses have a better layout than typical lower-floor apartments. Aside from the panoramic views of the beach, this chic penthouse has two master suites with king and queen-sized beds, perfect for a bigger group. It has an alfresco balcony where you can savor your morning coffee or intimate conversations with loved ones. The resort amenities come with two oceanfront pools, a hot tub, a seasonal poolside tiki bar, and gas grills.
