About this property

Sand and Spur

Sand and Spurs has been thoughtfully appointed and decorated with high end, comfortable furniture. You don't have to spend all of your vacation money on a beach house. Come stay with us and enjoy being at the beaches of Destin in 35 minutes yet having many more options of how to spend your days, nights and your money. No restrictions on check in days, number of vehicles, parking passes and fussy neighbors. Maybe part of your party wants to hit the beach and some of you might enjoy shooting at the shooting range or fishing at Lake Jackson. At the end of the day, you can come back together for back yard grilling and enjoy the serenity of a horse farm setting. The back yard is large and fenced overlooking the beautiful three board black fences and roaming horses. You have the option to picnic next door at the covered pavilion areas and hiking trails. Inside Sand and Spurs you have a very high end kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counter tops and a window overlooking the beautiful country scene. The dining/living room combination comes complete with ample and comfortable seating and Direct TV for all of your favorite programs. This home has three bedrooms (one with an attached bath) and two full baths. All rooms have ceiling fans with two queen size beds and one king. There is ample closet space and the whole house is tiled! Come stay with us at Sand and Spurs and truly relax on your hard earned vacation. There are no traffic jams and no lines to wait in while you stay in Laurel Hill, Florida. This is truly God's country! Close by are great country cooking restaurants, golf courses, river rafting, lake boating and fishing, paddle boarding, hiking, country road biking, antiquing, outlet shopping, and all the excitement of Destin, Florida without all the confusion. We are truly the best of both worlds and we want to share our slice of heaven with you. Over zealous partiers need not come! This is a safe, quiet, family oriented property to be shared with those that appreciate the country lifestyle. **NOTE: we have done our best with the internet at this home.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Brooks

Host profile image
This is not our first rental! We have been in the property management business for 25 years. In addition to Real Estate Sales and Management, our family raises top quality Quarter Horses to compete in Western Pleasure and Reining disciplines. We lived in Destin and in Niceville but once we got to Laurel Hill, we never left! We still short term rent in Destin and we know what that is like. We love Destin but we enjoy our quiet life in Laurel Hill where people are genuine and true to their word, we never have to wait in line and we know everyone's name. We have decided to give short term rentals a shot in the north end of Okaloosa County and we invite you to come enjoy the life we have grown to deeply appreciate.

Why they chose this property

If you have some folks that enjoy the excitement of the beach and others that would prefer a quiet setting or country activities (fishing, lake swimming, shooting etc), and if you prefer to spend your hard earned vacation money on something other than a beach house, come stay at Sand and Spurs. This is not your average rental. This home is furnished with million dollar home furnishings, brand new linens, free wifi and Direct TV as well as a fully equipped kitchen to cook until your hearts desire.

What makes this property unique

Located on a horse farm and right next door to a county park where you can hike and picnic under covered pavilions.
