About this property

Private lakefront home w/porch & dock--fish, relax; quiet & shady

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. You can request fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge. There are several golf courses, scuba diving, horseback riding, and fishing charter opportunities -- all of which can be done as a day trip.

Other recommendations and entertainment ideas can be provided upon request. Please review house rules regarding pets. There is a $50 fee for animals brought on the property.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa

Host profile image
Traveled the world and settled in this quaint historic town ~ DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Picture of Juniper Lake taken at the dock on this property. It was taken by a wildlife photographer who stayed at Serenity Retreat.

Why they chose this property

When you look at the lake views, there is no doubt you will know why we choose to live on Lake Juniper. It is a 300 acre state-owned and maintained lake. The fish and turtles actually come to the dock when you put out food. Come during Christmas and see the circle around the lake in full decoration or for one of the other local celebrations. Make wonderful family memories so you can reminisce and return to visit for years to come.

What makes this property unique

You will love the cool breeze that blows across the lake and fills the air with a fresh scent. Or do some sunbathing on the dock. Either way, this home is a great price for the area. We just want to share our piece of paradise with you. The area is laid back and traffic is not heavy. You can bike ride if you bring your own bikes. There is a paddleboat and fishing poles available for a small cost. Lots of room for family to roam. Check out the moss in trees or those curved trees growing in the edge of the lake. It is just pure fun for all.
