Wonderful time

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 5 days and it was nothing short of amazing. Super close location to the beach, easy drive to the stores, and very private and peaceful at night. The Hosts were very respectful of our privacy but also made sure we had everything we needed. Great place, would love to return!

Wonderful Place

My husband and I brought our two grandkids to the beach for the first time, along with two of our chihuahuas. We didn’t want just an originally place on the beach, so we decided to stay in the guesthouse. It was worth it! After a long day at the beach, it was so comfortable coming home to a quiet peaceful place. The guesthouse had everything we needed & the dog treats were a sweet gesture ❤️ the guesthouse was so easy to find & definitely would stay here again!

Just right ♥️

I stayed here with my boyfriend Fri-Mon, and we both enjoyed our time at this property. I agree with another reviewer who said it’s actually cuter in person. The main appeal for me when I booked this spot was the privacy and relative seclusion it offered. That part ended up being perfect, and the entire stay as a whole was smooth and enjoyable. The owner, Danny, gave us privacy while still checking in via Vrbo to ensure we were happy and didn’t need anything. I’d definitely recommend:)

perfect getaway

This place is even nicer than shown and described. Very secluded. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe. It was roomier than expected. Very bright, clean and with great amenities. The bed is a luxury with super soft sheets. Danny quickly responded to my many questions. He even showed me a video of how to locate the place, especially if arriving at night. Tho right off the highway, I wasn't bothered by the sounds. He had some fresh water chilling in a Britta container in the fridge which was most helpful. About 10-15 min. to beach access, depending on traffic. Cute little patio in the back where I enjoyed my morning coffee. I would definitely stay here again. You won't regret choosing this place for a night or a week.

Couldn’t Have Asked For More!

I’ve not stayed in very many Vrbo properties but this one has set the bar! And set it high! The property feels like an adorably decorated and modern studio apartment with plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen area, seating for dining, space for clothing storage, nice size walk in shower, sitting spot outside and appointed parking right in front of the space. The location is terrific as it’s close to beaches, bases and fun stuff to do but has a nice quiet neighborhood feel when you pull in. The hosts are simply stellar! They were quickly responsive to all the questions I had prior to booking, very friendly and thorough with all information needed. Though we had no need to make any requests while we were on property, I feel certain any concern would have been swiftly addressed. The communication and little personal touches added by the hosts made the whole experience remarkable. You can certainly tell that they want you to feel welcome and comfortable. If you are headed to the Ft. Walton area, I’d highly recommend this spot. If we head that way again, Sonder Suite is definitely where you will find us!

A Slice of Heaven

Danny & Megan were the epitome of perfection as far as VRBO hosts go. They were attentive and kind and offered their time and efforts to help us through a very trying time. We stayed from Sat-Wed and, unfortunately, Sunday morning our dog, Jett, ran out of the front door (hubby didn't shut it completely) and went missing for 5.5 long days. Megan & Danny did everything they possibly could to help us get reunited with our pup (we eventually found him so no worries at all). But aside from that unfortunate turn of events, their hospitality knows no bounds. Their little slice of heaven is the BEST place to stay. The bed and pillows are the most comfortable I've EVER slept on. The shower was big enough for 2 and the waterfall effect was sooo soothing to us during our stay. I loved the frigid A/C in the middle of this hot Florida heat! I absolutely recommend staying here 1000%! They are in close proximity to everything, and their wooded yard makes it feel like you're away from it all. Truly a special place. I hope you choose to come stay with them, they are really special folks and it's a super special place in our hearts. <3 Tina & Kevin

Such a hidden gem!

My husband and I stayed here with our pups and had a wonderful stay! The space is so adorable and incredibly clean. It is conveniently located to everything; shops, restaurants, and a short drive to the beach. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with. Can’t wait to stay again on our next trip to the Emerald Coast!

About the host

Hosted by Danny Wood

Hi, I'm Danny! Together with my wife, Megan, we love hosting guests from all over the globe. Our core values are simple: 1. Bring Value 2. Have an Abundance Mindset 3. Spend time with quality people

With that firmly in the forefront of our mind, we have built our rental portfolio with the end user in mind. We continue to find ways to improve our guest experience and aim to build relationships with great people as we do it.

We want people to feel something when they open the doors of our units. It is ultimately our art and our contribution; we truly hope you enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

This property is truly one of a kind. We are delighted to share this special place with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We live in the main house and pinch ourselves each day that we get to call this place home. The minute we stepped foot here we knew it was different and wanted to be able to share this with friends, family, and guests. We named it Sonder Suite for a reason: we all live complex lives, none two paths the same, interacting and bypassing in unexpected ways.

This property can host stays, weddings, meetings, retreats, masterminds, workshops. Anything that allows for the betterment of those attending is welcome. Please reach out for pricing and more information.

What makes this property unique

Secluded yet close to everything the Emerald Coast has to offer.
