The property was amazing. Super cute and very clean. The neighborhood was nice and the neighbors even nicer. Amazing views as well. The host was outstanding. Easy to communicate with, very responsive, and provided a lot of helpful information about the area. I would totally recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the area.

Kimica,
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and loved the area. Our goal is for your stay to be enjoyable and you want to return to us. Thank you for being such a pleasure to host !
You want a relaxing place to stay? You will be so happy you made this reservation. Perfect spot across from Destin, close to bridge. After spending the day at the beach with the crowd, head on over to Drop anchor & enjoy the peace and quiet on the bay. It sits overlooking the marina with spectacular views. There is a restaurant right next door. Wendy was so attentive. We have never been taken care of so well. I was sad to leave & can’t wait to go back, and believe me, we will!!!!

Why they chose this property
We live in the Bluewater Bay Community and absolutely love it. When this little property became available, we just had to have it. It is such a cozy, comfy space with stunning views of the marina. It is perfect for a single person traveling for business or a couple just looking to getaway and have some adult time.

The apartment is located in the marina. You can bring your boat with you, rent a boat slip and park your boat trailer at the Recreation Center. The boat ramp is also located just at the end of the apartment building. There is also LJ Schooner's bar and restaurant right outside the apartment door.
