Listing description

About this home

Hidden Dunes Beach Cottage 177 is a beautifully maintained 3BR/3BA coastal cottage inside the gated Hidden Dunes Beach & Tennis Resort at 9815 U.S. Highway 98 W, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. Offered fully furnished, this property is move-in ready and rental ready--an ideal second home, short-term vacation rental, or full-time residence in a resort-style setting.

(As of May 1 there are $20,500 in future bookings for 2026 ). The light-filled living area features vaulted ceilings, and the split-bedroom floor plan offers excellent privacy with a large primary suite and ensuite bath on one side, and a private guest bedroom with its own bath on the other. Upstairs, a spacious Loft with a full bath provides additional sleeping and lounging space and helps the cottage comfortably sleep eight.

Tile flooring runs throughout--no carpet to remove. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and white cabinetry, and it flows nicely into the main living space. One of the best features is the lovely screened-in porch, perfect for relaxing while overlooking Hidden Dunes' lush, tropical landscaping and the nearby fountain area.

Hidden Dunes is a low-density, gated community that truly feels like a private oasis--lush natural landscaping with towering live oaks and pines, beautiful walking paths, and tranquil fountains throughout the resort. Owners and guests also enjoy a scenic fishing lake with a pier for catch-and-release fishing, adding to the peaceful, tucked-away feel that makes Hidden Dunes so special. When you're ready for the Gulf, you'll love the 510 linear feet of low-density private beach with private beach access and full beach service, plus a short stroll to the beach or an easy seasonal tram ride.

Resort-style amenities include tennis courts, pickleball, two community pools and hot tubs, a basketball court, horseshoe pits, a playground, and walking trails. And when you're ready to venture out, you're just minutes from Sandestin, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Grand Boulevard, dining, and entertainment. The owners do allow short-term rentals but very limited.

They reserve most of the year for family and friends use . They have personally self-managed the property through VRBO. Buyer to verify all information.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1990 (36 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
  • FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Walton County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $5,775/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions

How big is 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 was built in 1990 and has 3 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 in?

9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 is in Hidden Dunes Beach Cottages 2 in Miramar Beach, Walton County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Hidden Dunes Beach Cottages 2 from the same MLS data.

Why might property taxes on 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $5,775 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Is 9815 W U.S. Highway 98 #Unit 177 in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
