We had a great family vacation. The house was spacious and clean. The game room was fun for a rainy day. We loved having our own pool.

Our stay was amazing. The house was exactly how it was described in the listing. Kitchen was fully equipped. It was spacious enough to give us privacy when needed. We loved the pool. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. A special thank you to Lori, our host, for being there when needed.

This place was even better than I had thought it would be based on the listing. Very clean, new appliances, well designed and spacious enough for 7 adults to stay comfortably. The host was excellent; very communicative with any issues and always willing to go out of her way to make sure we had the best stay possible. I couldn't possibly have enjoyed our stay more and given what we payed compared to other properties im the area this was an absolute steal!

Check in & communication with the property manager was easy & great. The house was so clean, cleaning crew is top notch. This house literally has everything you’d need. Plenty of bath towels & pool towels to use. The kitchen was well equipped and even had extras in it (flour, spices, etc) that most homes don’t have. The house stayed cool, the pool stayed warm (we had it heated for our stay), the location is in a quiet neighborhood and felt safe. Overall great house & stay!

Our stay here was perfect. The home is warm & welcoming. The host has anticipated your every need. She reached out after our arrival to ensure all was well. The split lay out was nice if you want a little privacy from the children. I even got some great decorating ideas for my own home. The home is located perfectly for all the places you may need to visit while in Gulf Breeze. We definitely will rent again on our next visit to Florida.

Where do I begin, we travel a lot and finding a safe clean home is top priority for us. This property exceeded our expectations. The amount of hospitality, detail, and care did not go unnoticed. We were given a beach bag with towels and some other goodies for us to keep. Extremely thoughtful. The kitchen came with spices and other necessities that normally is a hassle to buy just for a couple meals. The pool was amazing, ready as soon as we got there and stayed clean and clear the entire time. It was close enough to all surrounding tourist areas but far enough away for peace and quiet. The host answered any and all questions I had in a timely manner. We will definitely stay here again if in the area. My kids loved the game room, I could go on. Don’t hesitate on this one!

Thank you Katrina for the kind words and glowing review! My staff and I really try to prepare the house as we would want it to be for ourselves. I'm pleased that your kids enjoyed the game room, and that the pool met with your expectations. You folks were my first guests to stay on the property since I had made several large improvements with the pool area being one of them. It was also a pleasure getting to meet you. This is something I hadn't had a chance to do. Usually it is my Property Manager Lori, who is my Sister, that gets to do that. We hope to see you again in the future! Best Wishes, Lisa Wiest Owner Rustic Bungalow

This house has been completely updated throughout, and they took great care in how they decorated. The kitchen had almost everything we needed- just didn't have a strainer for pasta, but it does now ;-) The backyard was great for our dogs, and the pool looked great. Unfortunately, they were waiting on a part for the heater, so we didn't get to take advantage of it. It is in a very convenient location, with easy access to stores, restaurants if you don't want to cook, and getting over to the beach. We ended up going to the dog beach park which is closer to Pensacola than Navarre, but it was still easy to get to. Side note, sunrise at the dog beach is beautiful! It was only the two of us and our dogs, so it really was way more house than we needed, but the location, amenities, and overall experience would have us booking again if we can make it back down. It would be great for larger families or groups.
