This was the perfect little home for our spring break trip to FL! It's not fancy, but it is well stocked with everything you might need. We had two adults and three teenagers, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.

The house is small but cute. It was perfect for our family of 4. It was clean and the host was very responsive to our messages. Felt safe and no one bothered with anything we left out over noght or while we were gone. We also loved it was close to Destin and Navarre.
