Peaceful escape right on the bay next to 300 acres of natural woods and beach. Tucked in the back of a neighborhood 20 mins from Destin and 30 mins from 30a (depending on seasonal traffic). Property has a dock with a built in hammock and swings as well as a fire fit out back. Amazing sunrise views and plenty of natural wildlife such as dolphins and eagles. A beautiful 16ft cedar table will hold your entire family under the porch. Large property for kids and pets to run and play with a ramp down to the beach for paddle boarding and kayak access. The Boat ramp is also just 2 miles up the road and plenty of room in the driveway to store your boat. Yard games such as corn hole and badminton provided.

This property was great! Be sure to get up at sunrise for a chance to see dolphins from the back yard. We had everything we needed while staying at this beautiful, waterfront home. Highly reccomend
Best VRBO experience ever! Great amenities, everything you need! The personal touches from the welcome basket to the nice products left in the bathroom! The house is so clean! This spot is absolutely stunning!!
The location of the house is amazing. We were able to see the dolphins and an alligator in the bay. Kids enjoyed fishing and caught several fish, a crab and stingray. (They were all safely returned to the water) The house was big enough for all 13 of us and there is plenty of our door seating.
Overall it was amazing. So relaxing with the most beautiful scenery. We loved paddle boarding for the first time ever. Beds were so comfy and plenty of things to do for the family. Even my three year old played with the toys upstairs. We would absolutely come back if we had the chance!
We had a wonderful time at this well equipped, Beautifully decorated, home! I literally cannot say enough good things about this property. It is quiet, The views are amazing, beds were comfortable. The home had everything that you would need. There were instapots crocked pots, Bug spray, Plently of linens. We saw dolphin's multiple times. The neighbors were great!
Our stay down by the bay was great! The bay was right outside of the backdoor. The dock is perfect for sitting on or fishing off of. You have your own private beach for swimming or putting in your kayak. The use of the kayaks and paddleboards was very nice. The house is great. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked. Location is great, very quiet. In between Freeport and Niceville. Great local restaurant not far, Nicks seafood. Communication with Amy was great. We had a blast!
Really enjoyed staying at this property. It’s a great home. We spent most of our time in the backyard enjoying the dock and fire pit. Host was very attentive and quick to respond. We look forward to staying there again.
We absolutely loved this house and the location and the owners helped with answering all questions super fast. There was an issue with the washer being loud but not to horrible. Only thing that would have made it better was a pool and hot tub since I don’t really do ocean swimming but everyone else in our group loved the ocean definitely would come back. Also first time at the ocean and actually seeing dolphins like three times a day every day we was there. I didn’t take many pics as I was chasing my 4 year old around.
Great location, add said two miles of beach on conservation area. There is no where near two miles. Beach is blocked 300yds down. This was not accurate. BBQ grill does not work properly, this probably upset me the worst as we cook at home the most. Appliances need replaced, dryer and washer worked part time. Washer wouldnt spin several times. Drain was slow in one of the bathrooms on the lower level. Great location secluded, but would need to repair somethings before i would rent again,
We loved the space this property provide both inside and out. My kids enjoyed access to the water with no crowds! Very peaceful for my husband and I to sit out back and listen to the water at night!
Pictures do no justice for the wonderful rental. Questions were answered in a timely manner from host. View was spectacular, home was spacious and equipped with everything. 15 minutes from Destin,Florida by toll. Family definitely want to stay at same home next year.
A well supplied water front property. We woke up to beautiful sunrises but also blaring sun in our eyes with no shades. The adjacent beach is cluttered with bricks and debris which this. owner has no control over. Our dogs were welcome and had a blast but the dogs next Door barked and barkedWe would rent it again
Instantly upon arrival, we felt like we were home, there was a wonderful note from the owner, a bottle of wine, coffee, and all the instructions regarding the property and the available amenities. Our teenagers enjoyed the dock and swings, as well as the paddle boards and kayaks. The home has a wonderful view of the bay and the yard is beautifully taken care of (we actually went without shoes because the back yard is so lush). The beds were comfy and furniture was great for hanging out during storms or just to relax. We utilized the dining room for game night (we brought games) for after dinner. We also enjoyed our daily view of dolphins frolicking and hunting in the bay...what a sight! The property was well maintained, everything you need is there, just bring yourself and any food/drinks you want to indulge in while there. We really didn't need to leave the property, but we did venture to Destin for the beach and for fishing on a offshore charter, all were within a 30 mins drive (traffic once entering Destin is the major contributor to time). Niceville is a short drive (les than 15 mins), they have several groceries, eateries, etc. We hope to return annually and I wish I could keep this place a secret because we didn't want to leave.
We had the opportuntiy to stay at this incredible vrbo spot. I cannot begin to explain how perfect this was. We had a couple of families come together for new years at this house. The location on the water was exceptional. The house was perfect.
