The Space
Welcome to your high-end Niceville escape! Unlike standard rentals, our cottage has been meticulously remodeled with a fresh, modern aesthetic that feels like a boutique hotel.

Walkability: We are one of the few spots where you can leave the car behind to hit the pickleball courts or grab a craft beer at a local pub.

The Beach: You are approximately one mile from the local public beach—perfect for a sunset stroll without the Destin crowds.

Community: Located in a charming, friendly neighborhood that gives you a true "local" Florida feel.

Getting Around
Commuting from our "Sweetest Town in the South" is a breeze. You are perfectly positioned to avoid the gridlock of Highway 98 while staying close to the action:

Destin (18 miles): Easy access to HarborWalk Village and world-class fishing.

Fort Walton Beach (11 miles): A quick hop to the Okaloosa Island pier.

Nature & History: Less than 5 minutes to the Air Force Armament Museum and Turkey Creek, featuring miles of stunning boardwalks and swimming holes for the ultimate family picnic.

Essentials: Walmart, grocery stores, and boutique shopping are all within a 3-minute drive. Ubers are readily available for nights out!

The cotttage is in a quiet location. It’s well decorated and has all the cookware and dishes you need to prepare meals. Short drive from airport and to beaches. Chris was very responsive to a couple of things we encountered. We would stay there again.

As we arrived, the exterior was well-illuminated and the door had code access for an easy late evening entry. The interior was well-kept, pristine, stylish, and welcoming. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Helpful appliances included Smart TVs, Keurig, tower fans, and washer/dryer. It was centrally located in Niceville with easy access to VPS airport, Eglin AFB, all Niceville establishments, and a short drive from Destin beaches. We would happily stay here again.

Our stay in Niceville was wonderful from the moment we walked in. The home was inviting, relaxing, and spotless. It had plenty of space for our group and would work well for two couples or a family.The bed was incredibly comfortable—honestly felt like it gave me a hug. The sheets, comforter, and pillows were perfect, making for a great night’s sleep. the kind of sleep you wish you could pack in your suitcase and take home.We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like laundry supplies, dish and dishwasher soap, plenty of paper products, and both a regular coffee maker and Keurig. It made settling in effortless.The location was excellent—close to everything, including great restaurants like The Locals, Doc’s Oyster Bar, and Basil & Baxter’s Kitchen, as well as shopping and grocery stores. We also enjoyed hearing the “sound of freedom” overhead, which wasn’t disruptive inside the home.What stood out most was the owner. He communicated before, during, and after our stay, providing helpful information and making sure we had everything we needed. That level of care made a big difference.We are very grateful for our stay and would absolutely return.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay around the niceville area, I highly suggest you consider this property. It was such a nice put together house with perfect amount of decoration. We brought our dog with us and the place was perfect. The house was located in a perfect spot for us, located just one short block of a main road to get places, but road noise was never an issue. The covered front porch with outdoor furniture was a really nice addition to be able to sit outside, listen to the rain and enjoy the laid back feeling the neighborhood offered. I would HIGHLY suggest this property, the price was excellent and we will for sure book again if in the area. Thanks Chris for the awesome stay!
