This is the one to choose

You want a relaxing place to stay? You will be so happy you made this reservation. Perfect spot across from Destin, close to bridge. After spending the day at the beach with the crowd, head on over to Drop anchor & enjoy the peace and quiet on the bay. It sits overlooking the marina with spectacular views. There is a restaurant right next door. Wendy was so attentive. We have never been taken care of so well. I was sad to leave & can’t wait to go back, and believe me, we will!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Galen & Wendy Alsop

My husband is newly, retired after 21 1/2 years of military service and I retired from teaching several years ago. We both are huge foodies, love being outdoors and the parents to a miniature schnauzer.

Why they chose this property

We live in the Bluewater Bay Community and absolutely love it. When this little property became available, we just had to have it. It is such a cozy, comfy space with stunning views of the marina. It is perfect for a single person traveling for business or a couple just looking to getaway and have some adult time.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is located in the marina. You can bring your boat with you, rent a boat slip and park your boat trailer at the Recreation Center. The boat ramp is also located just at the end of the apartment building. There is also LJ Schooner's bar and restaurant right outside the apartment door.
