My two granddaughters were at the pool nearby almost before the car came to a stop. The beach was an easy 10 minute walk, including the stairs down to the sand, which we did twice daily..Beachniks was well equiped, clean and comfortable for the five of us.It was my first VRBO vacation and I would happily do it again if Denny's house is the standard. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

As our second stay at Beackniks draws to a close we think back at the wonderful time we have had at this delightful vacation spot. Again this year, we have been at Beackniks for two months (April and May) and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were lots of walks on the beach, games of golf, lovely meals at home or one of the great local restaurants, shopping and exploring the 30A. There is so much to do and see in the area that time just seems to have flown by. The Old Florida Village is a great little community and Beachniks is the perfect cottage with everything you would want. It is well appointed, clean and tidy. We look forward to returning to our Canadian home but we will depart well rested and with great memories. Thanks, Denny and Sarah for the use of your beautiful Santa Rosa home.

Gotta Love Beachniks

We have come to the end of our 2 month stay at Beachniks in Santa Rosa Beach. Everything was just super. The weather has been perfect, the beach was outstanding and the accommodations ideal. Recently retired, we enjoyed the easy going atmosphere of the location. Our days usually started with a short walk to Miss Lucille’s for coffee in the morning followed by a stroll back to Beachniks via the beach. In the afternoon we often played golf at one of the nearby courses with the Santa Rosa course being our favourite. In the evening we ate at one of the many restaurants including Amore a great pizzeria, Stinky’s Fish Camp (sounds awful but tastes great) Café Tango for fine dining , Bud and Alley’s for fun and or fine dining and the Red Bar. Time has just flown by and as much as we are exited about returning to our home and family in Newfoundland, Canada we are already looking forward to our next visit to Beachniks. The information on the property and location were just as advertised and the owner was most helpful with our various inquiries. Beachniks was very comfortable and nicely decorated. On our arrival the house was clean and well prepared for everything we might need. The complex of “Old Florida Village” is beautifully maintained and an excellent vacation destination. We highly recommend Beachniks…….5 vacation stars.

We spent month of Feb. at Beachniks. Weather was delightful and home was one of the cleanest and best equipped we have ever stayed in. Very comfortable bed and furniture. Pool across from house was great. We hope to return again some day. Dennis and Sarah made sure our stay was as we hoped it would be.

Perfect vacation home

My family stayed in this beach house in July 2006. We had an amazing time! The neighborhood is very quiet. The pool/beach was never crowded. Close to Goatfeathers and all the little boutiques. The house was nice and clean, looks exactly like the pictures. The owners even provide a golf cart for guests to drive to the beach which is just across the street. We are looking for a 2011 summer vacation and are considering staying at Beachniks again. The Hamby Family

Beachniks is the perfect place for relaxation and play. We had five adults in our party looking for time to read, relax and have fun in the sun. The constant breeze made time on the beach or at the pool most pleasant. This condo has four porches with seating for two on each, so if you want a place that lends itself to group gatherings as well as privacy for reading or napping, this is the place for you! The grill in the back yard made grilling seafood easy when we didn't want to eat out. Restaurants in the area are fine, but if you want to cook in, the kitchen is as complete as any in our homes. Perfect location. Great weather. Nice privacy. We loved it and hope to return!

Beachniks was a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a week's vacation with four friends. The weather was perfect which allowed us to enjoy the pool or the beautiful beach every day. We found the kitchen especially well equipped and enjoyed cooking and eating "in" for many meals. We grilled up great selections from Goatfeathers nearby--their seafood was terrific. The porches allowed us to nap or read alone if we wished, and the living area was conducive to watching old movies, and just relaxing! I returned home feeling healthy and relaxed. I'd love to return!

We had a wonderful week at Beachniks. The house is perfect for our family. We have 3 girls and they loved being together in their own space in the second bedroom. My husband loved the reading nook, I couldn't get him out of the most comfortable recliner we have ever been in. The weather was beautiful, no rain, which is rare for Florida summers. We didn't eat out much, we used the nice gas grill for most of our dinners. The girls swam and tooled around the neighborhood on the golf cart and met friends from all over the country. We all hope to return next year. Thank you, Dennis and Sarah for making your home perfect!

We had a great week at Beachniks...the house is very comfortable and the area is quiet with very little car traffic coming thru the neighborhood. This is definitely a very family friendly area.

Our family of three had such a great time! It's so hard to leave. We loved lounging at the beach every day. Beautiful weather!! We visited the seafood market at Goatfeathers several times this week and enjoyed wonderful seafood dishes at "home". Basmatis had the best sushi in town and the shopping at Silver Sands in SanDestin was fantastic. Thanks for sharing your home! We'll be back.

We rented Beachniks for two months from mid-January through mid-March 2006. We loved the home, which was completed with comfortable furnishings, and the great neighborhood atmosphere. The house was within walking distance to the beach and close to the pool. Dennis and Sarah were extremely cordial and gracious. We would love to return to this property!

We had a wonderful time this week! The weather was warm and sunny all week - we relaxed at the beach every day - picking up seashells and swimming. It was a perfect week.

We loved the house and pool! What a great little neighborhood. The girls really enjoyed the beach. We took a "Private Cruise" out of Panama City Beach which the girls absolutely loved. All in all we had a fantastic time. Thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. The week was a much needed & well deserved lazy time for all of us. The kids had fun guessing what color the flag would be day to day. Water felt great!

Beachniks is a great vacation home! We loved everything about it-- the furnishings, decor, porches. The neighborhood was great and we loved the pool. We rode our bikes to the beach which was absolutely beautiful. This was one of our best vacations and we have already recommended Beachniks to our friends.

We had such a wonderful time here. I loved the glider on the back porch and I loved drinking my coffee in the upstairs nook and watching the sun appear! We beached and golfed & beached & golfed & golfed some more. The outlets in Destin were fabulous also. Thanks to Denny and Sarah for sharing Beachniks!
