Affordable getaway

If your looking for an affordable way to go to the beech this is it. Hosts are very accomidating. We brought our boat with us and they allowed us to park our trailer in their yard and dock our boat in their slip space. We saw dolphins, went to Crab Island, fished, enjoyed the quiet islands and went boat watching in The Destin Harbor.

Unique and relaxing vacation experience

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay! The atmosphere is relaxing and there was plenty of room, inside and outside, for us to spread out. The location is minutes away from outstanding restaurants and grocery stores, as well as the beach. Having the use of kayaks and paddleboards was a wonderful activity that we took advantage of daily, and one day we enjoyed being just yards away from a pod of dolphins that came into the inlet! The hosts were very friendly and attentive to our needs. I would absolutely stay here again.

Guys retreat

Polite owners. Owning an off shore charter boat with sleeping quarters, safety on a boat is priority. Exposed wiring outside, ceiling water damage in main bedroom, which most likely if left unchecked will have black mold issues, boat also needs to be dry docked and under go some major maintenance. Furniture in helm area with kitchen was uncomfortable and the recliner was broken. Outdoor patio furniture, as a business owner, was absolutely disgraceful. I hope this information helps anyone looking to stay. If these issues are corrected it will be an ok place to stay for a few days.

Amazing Sunrise

The owners were very accommodating, friendly, easy to contact through the listing and respond quickly. We enjoyed sitting on the decks and enjoying the quite inlet. We were fortunate to have comfortable temperatures that even allowed us to keep the doors open and enjoy the breeze. There were no mosquitos in April (maybe they spray, maybe just perfect timing). No additional attractions besides the water within walking distance. However, beaches and a variety of other things are within a short drive. Be aware that there is a steep walk from the parking spot to the boat. The owner was kind enough to leave a cart to help transport our things down the hill. Thanks for a lovely, peaceful stay on your boat!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Piazza

We bought this boat from another person that did rental from a marina. We live on an acre on the water in a quiet bayou. My husband (Fil) is retired air force of almost 30 years . I am a retired cardiac nurse. We love the outdoors and are fairly active with running and working on construction projects.

Why they chose this property

My husband wanted a house boat and I agreed if I could rent it out. Now during a time of a pandemic we offer a safer alternative to high volume high rises and still enjoy the water and beaches that this area has to offer

What makes this property unique

You can swim in our water or a 10 min trip to the most beautiful beaches in the world! We are 7 miles from Destin, 20 miles from the famed 30A. There is fishing here, at the beach or the pier just a few miles away.
