** Trey says "This place is amazing! Everything was great and our family had a wonderful time. If you have a boat, the convenience to EVERYWHERE is perfect. You do not have to go far to have nice meals on the water. The Wharf 850 was a nice restaurant with great food, drinks, and service. It was only 5 minutes by boat. "

The house was as listed and very clean. The property manager was very helpful and quick to respond by text. There are two very close ramps to launch a boat. Plenty of room to park your truck and trailer. Beautiful views of the bay and bayou.
the house is exactly how described in the details. Beautiful views! Seen lots of sailboats! Caught different kinds of fish, blue crabs, and more. House was very clean! Felt like home away from home! LOVED the little extra things they had there for usage. Manager had great communication and was pleasant to work with! Would defiantly come back and rent again!
Very nice and clean. We spent most of our time on the dock fishing and watching the boats and just relaxing on the water. Everything was excellent with the host and she helped me out alot and very friendly. The house was a great place to be in. Everything was beautiful and very welcoming to stay in the house. We had a awesome time on the deck and beautiful views of the water. I will definitely be back for another vacation. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay there.
The property was well maintained. The house was very clean and smelled absolutely amazing. It had everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. I was thankful that they were able to accommodated my dog as well. My family and I spent a lot of time on the deck and the dock. We spent the majority of our time fishing, crabbing, and just relaxing. I would certainly book again in the future. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Thank you so much for the review. We appreciate you and hope you made some wonderful memories while visiting. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you ever want to visit again! :)
You can’t beat the location as the house is not only right on the bay but in a very quiet safe neighborhood. Driving to either Destin or Pensacola is only 30 minutes but Niceville has plenty of stores for local options. The house has everything you need and then some. Sheryl was beyond helpful with communication and making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Definitely bring water shoes and fishing equipment. We saw dolphins every morning from the deck and dock! Crab Island is a must visit but there is more than enough to keep you busy throughout Destin. Highly recommended Bluewater Charters to get to and from instead of renting a boat on your own. Let them do the driving for you! Destin can get crowded which is unavoidable so having a calm quiet home to return to was perfect. It can get a tad warm in the home and the A/C works hard to keep things cool but the additional fans helped keep things comfortable. A must stay!
