The Emerald Coast Home is in an amazing location. Lots of grocery stores nearby and a shirt drive from Destin. The house had everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the backyard and the BBQ.

From the owner: "Thank you for the sweet review! We love that our guests don't have to leave the four-legged family members behind on vacation! We are thrilled that you would stay again. We'd love that! Thanks again!"
First let me say this was the cleanest, most welcoming home we’ve stayed in and I’ve stayed in a lot for work. It’s close by everything grocery stores and shopping food. Extremely pet friendly. Everything was there for your stay. There was nothing more you could want when you’re away from home with your pet. Even without your pets, this was the perfect place to stay. I wish all the vrbo’s were like this!!

Outstanding! Overall "At Home" Experience! Dog Welcoming. 92 year old Mom approved!
What a wonderful experience we had at our Mary Esther Ab&b!. After our long drive it was a joy to walk into such a delightfully decorated home stocked with everything weary travelers would want; a variety of snacks and treats, a frig full of cold water and coffee pods of different flavors for the morning. There was no need to run out to get the basics. The baths were even ready with shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes, and lotions. It surely didn't hurt that the Aveda lotion was the one my 92 year old Mom traveling with us used at home. 😊 We booked this particular home due to the large privacy-fenced in yard because we travel with our babies, WinnieBea (6# toy poodle) and Pepper Jean (Corgi). We were treated to more than just a wonderful yard... they had dog beds, food and water bowls and.... TOYS, that the girls discovered even before we did. We were surprised at the wonderful location as well. It is close to the beach and many wonderful restaurants. The host was easily reachable if we had any needs or questions. I really can't say enough about our stay. Our Mom had not traveled in many years. She thought it would be too hard on her. Being able to stay in this lovely, comfortable, welcoming home has completely changed her outlook! We all are looking forward to returning to "our" place at the beach.
