Home was exactly as advertised! Gorgeous spacious and super clean. Great parking! Host was fantastic about communicating. Location was close to everything. Having the boat dock was the highlight of the trip. Outdoor kitchen was amazing. Can’t say enough great things about this property and host!
Our group of 6 adults very much enjoyed this home, it worked out perfect for us! The dock was an excellent feature able to hold our 2 boats with no issues, it was a very well made dock with plastic bumpers on the poles so we didn’t have to worry about putting out our own bumpers or any damage to the boats. The outdoor kitchen had every type of cooking option you could need. The host’s communication was excellent and super helpful. One small mention of something that we couldn’t find just so they were aware and they had it to us immediately. We won’t hesitate to rent this home again! Thank you for sharing it!

We love the location on the water too! We appreciate you and your family coming multiple times. Publix is popular, I guess that's why there are 3 in town. Thank you for the review, hope to have you stay again.

This is an exceptional home. It was fabulous if you have a boat which is always hard to find dock space on VRBO. The communication with the owners was above average and always prompt. I can’t say enough great things about the space.

About the host

We live in Oklahoma, but have roots in Fort Walton & hope to make this home one day. We love hearing from our guests who enjoy the property as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
My grandfather had a home on Cinco Bayou many years ago, when this home came available we were so excited! We love everything about being on the water.
What makes this property unique
The house is on 100 foot of water front. Sitting on the dock or at the house watching the dolphins and other wild life is very relaxing.
