Great place- super clean and beautiful! Loved the screened in porch and fenced in backyard. The host left us notes and recommended places for us to visit and eat, plus they had dog bowls out for our sweet dog! Just wished it was walking distance to beach, but wonderful place

Great value

Very nice home, quiet little neighborhood. Screened in back porch was great for rainy days. Good location, only a few minutes drive from stores and food, and just a quick (depending on time of day) trip across the bridge to public access beaches! Worked perfectly for our family!

Great location

We stayed a week at this nice and quiet neighborhood. Easy access to Okaloosa pier and all the stores you will need during a weeks stay. A lot of restaurants in the area. The owners are so sweet to have a welcoming basket and a board with all the restaurants easily accessible without all the Destin traffic. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay in your cottage. It was the perfect size for our 2 week extended stay. We had different family members stay with us at different times. It was close to the beach and close to our new granddaughter.

National Softball Tournament/Family Vacay

We absolutely LOVED this house! It was the perfect location. It was only a few minutes from the ballpark and a few of the beaches. There were several wonderful local restaurants suggested by the host and the ones in Destin were only a short drive. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe for my family. We would absolutely stay here again even if we weren’t coming to the area for a softball tournament!

Our stay was pleasant

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The listing didn't match up with the way the house actually looked. But there was enough beds to accommodate us. We loved that we were not far from anything. I hated that the dishwasher didn't work and smelt bad. I contacted the owner and they were sending someone out to fix it. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place

This place was ideal for my small family. My 2 y/o absolutely loved the backyard. One small issue with the dishwasher and fridge. I'd recommend a p-trap and single out the drain line from the dishwasher, and not incorporate it via the disposal. This will help with smell from back flow. Fridge in kitchen runs warmer than avg. The backup in the sun room saved our perishables. All in all, this is a great location and very affordable for a small family! Thank you Franny and Jared!

A piece of oasis

My family had the nicest time staying here. Finding the house was so easy, given we didnt get there until 2am. The instructions for the door code were easy to understand. We were welcomed with flowers and the cutest balloon! The house looked and felt clean. Publix was conveniently around the corner so we could stock up on foods. The owners provided us another bicycle, so all my kids had a bike to ride around the block while we had some down time. The sand in the back yard was so nice for the kids, and I only hope I cleaned enough off of them before they came inside. The perfect house to relax in after a long day of sand, water, food and making memories.

Great Property, exactly as advertised!

Very nice updated property. Very clean. My son was here for a baseball tournament in Destin and we especially appreciated the coziness and the room to just 'hang out' and chill after several long hot days at the ballpark. Our favorite spot was the back patio at night.
