We stayed 2 nights. There is plenty of room here, large living/dining/kitchen area and nice bedrooms. Everything was clean and in great shape. Beautiful view!
Kim is such a wonderful person. Our visit was unexpected due to family illness and with all the necessities provided it made our days easier and the River is so peaceful
Our family enjoyed the spacious house with the fantastic views from every window. The home was well stocked with all the comforts of home. The furniture was beautiful and my family was very comfortable. The washer and dryer and all the appliances in the house were high-end. Great stay!!

Thank you so much for staying with us. I hope you’ll consider us again when in our area. We would love to host you at any of our vacation properties :)
We were looking for a place well located where we had some privacy away from the big crowds. The property is located only 35 minutes from Navarre Beach. The best feature is the location in the Black River shore with very relaxing breeze and beautiful view. The owners are very helpful and courteous. Thanks.
From the second I pulled in the driveway, I was drawn towards the dock. I didn't even go upstairs. I spent a lot of time on that dock staring at the water and just enjoying every bit of my surroundings. I didn't want to leave. When I finally went upstairs, everything was perfect. I was able to contact Kim when I had questions. I enjoyed playing ball with Sampson. I will be returning for sure. Thank you very much for being so awesome. As I said, definitely my second home.
This riverside property is charming and quiet, with really lovely views of Cooper Basin. We sat out on the covered porch and enjoyed listening to the birds and frogs while seeing the occasional fish jump.
We didn't do much cooking while there because we were hanging out with friends who live in the area, but the kitchen was well stocked and Kim was thoughtful enough to leave some water and snacks.
The furniture was comfy, and there were several beds to choose from.
The decor is coastal and comforting without looking cookie-cutter like so many rentals do nowadays.
While it is in a quiet area, this is still close to town for dining or shopping, and there was a little bit of everything store-wise, so it's very conveniently located.
The owner Kim was very responsive and sent an email checking to make sure we had everything we needed.
We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing place to stay - 10 out of 10!
Very nice host! Kim and James have been amazing hosts! They have been so helpful and quick to communicate. The house is so beautiful and sits right on the black water river. The porch wraps around the back of the house and faces the water. It’s truly stunning. There is a grill on the back porch, a table and very comfortable chairs, and tons of room. Their are three very nice bedrooms and each had a tv and very comfortable bed. Great place to stay!
