This is such a wonderful place to stay and the Fiona is an awesome host, Thank you for everything. If you want a lovely home to stay in you will enjoy this one.
What a charming cottage! My family & I enjoyed our stay. There was a ton of room for our family of 5. My kids loved the special book nooks. This rental had all the comforts of home and more! The location was very convenient to restaurants and shopping.
We traveled with 9 people and our 2 pugs for our first ever trip to Florida! The property is great and close to lots of amenities. Destin is 20 minutes away and Fort Walton is just as good. Host is Fantastic! We really had a great time at the beaches and the local shops! Lots of food and shopping, to many to name them all!
The only bad thing I have to say is the dogs next door were annoying barking loud if we went outside or in the mornings when we woke up. The cottage itself was very clean, easy to access from main roads, my children and I absolutely loved the stay. The host was very fast at communicating. Beach access was a little tricky, you have to have a free pass from Eglin AFB. Overall we enjoyed our stay for our first time in Florida!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really glad you and your children enjoyed your first trip to Florida! It was a pleasure hosting you.
We do appreciate the feedback regarding the neighboring dogs. While that’s unfortunately outside of our control, we understand how it can impact the experience and will continue to monitor the situation.
For future guests, we’re always happy to provide guidance on beach access options in the area, including alternatives that don’t require base entry.
Thanks again for staying with us and we’d love to host you again anytime!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, very clean, and well-maintained. Every room was spotless, and the entire home was comfortable and welcoming. We loved everything about the house, and its location so close to the beach made our trip even better. The host was amazing, friendly, and responsive throughout our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
