The Space
Welcome to your high-end Niceville escape! Unlike standard rentals, our cottage has been meticulously remodeled with a fresh, modern aesthetic that feels like a boutique hotel.

Walkability: We are one of the few spots where you can leave the car behind to hit the pickleball courts or grab a craft beer at a local pub.

The Beach: You are approximately one mile from the local public beach—perfect for a sunset stroll without the Destin crowds.

Community: Located in a charming, friendly neighborhood that gives you a true "local" Florida feel.

Getting Around
Commuting from our "Sweetest Town in the South" is a breeze. You are perfectly positioned to avoid the gridlock of Highway 98 while staying close to the action:

Destin (18 miles): Easy access to HarborWalk Village and world-class fishing.

Fort Walton Beach (11 miles): A quick hop to the Okaloosa Island pier.

Nature & History: Less than 5 minutes to the Air Force Armament Museum and Turkey Creek, featuring miles of stunning boardwalks and swimming holes for the ultimate family picnic.

Essentials: Walmart, grocery stores, and boutique shopping are all within a 3-minute drive. Ubers are readily available for nights out!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The cotttage is in a quiet location. It’s well decorated and has all the cookware and dishes you need to prepare meals. Short drive from airport and to beaches. Chris was very responsive to a couple of things we encountered. We would stay there again.

As we arrived, the exterior was well-illuminated and the door had code access for an easy late evening entry. The interior was well-kept, pristine, stylish, and welcoming. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Helpful appliances included Smart TVs, Keurig, tower fans, and washer/dryer. It was centrally located in Niceville with easy access to VPS airport, Eglin AFB, all Niceville establishments, and a short drive from Destin beaches. We would happily stay here again.
