Property was clean and right on the water! Beds weren’t the most comfortable and the drive to everything was long, but everything else was wonderful! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle. This is it!

This property was great! We came in by boat from Apalachicola on the intercoastal waterway. The dock was perfect for two boats (shallow water but we managed with 27ft boats). Traveled to Crab Island and went fishing offshore via our boat which was a great ride. There is a marina across the bay that was amazing too (Legendary Marina). We also enjoyed the fresh water creek beside the house after a long day on the saltwater. The deck was perfect for morning sunrise, evening dinner and just relaxing at night seeing the Destin skyline. The house was clean and accommodated all our needs.

Nice little water front house .The host was great .Its is private and it has it own pier they are still working on improvements. The only things that wasn't up to par is the fridge wasnt cleaned out had old food in the freezer and fridge and the mini fridge was full of out dated drinks so we didnt use either of those and the water pressure was awful but we just dealt with what we had but all and all it was good .

Best Place to Relax

If you enjoy the water, great views, awesome sunrises and sunsets, this cabin is for you. You can experience all that Destin as to offer and come back to recharge. The neighbors are nice. You can catch bait fish off the dock and fish all day. There is a small park and free boat ramp next to the cabin, but the water is shallow. You can boat to Desin but we found it better to haul the boat closer to Destin to enjoy the beautiful blue water. The Emeral Coast is a must see.
