The house was great! Fantastic location, big driveway plenty of room for a boat trailer. The dock is brand new with water and power available.

This is an exceptional home. It was fabulous if you have a boat which is always hard to find dock space on VRBO. The communication with the owners was above average and always prompt. I canāt say enough great things about the space.

We love the location on the water too! We appreciate you and your family coming multiple times. Publix is popular, I guess that's why there are 3 in town. Thank you for the review, hope to have you stay again.

This place was wonderful. The house had plenty of room with lots of windows facing the water. A wonderful place to relax. If a person wants something to do Destin is close by. We would definitely come here again.The owners were very helpful with any questions we had.

Have rented the same house for several years. Great for our family. Easy access to boat ramp, and gulf.

About the host
Hosted by John Scantlin
We live in Oklahoma, but have roots in Fort Walton & hope to make this home one day. We love hearing from our guests who enjoy the property as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
My grandfather had a home on Cinco Bayou many years ago, when this home came available we were so excited! We love everything about being on the water.
What makes this property unique
The house is on 100 foot of water front. Sitting on the dock or at the house watching the dolphins and other wild life is very relaxing.
