About this property
Sylvia's Suite Dreams-kayak and paddleboard free, close to Destin & best beaches
Live like a local on beautiful Poquito Bayou in Shalimar, FL. This detached guest house will give you access to a gorgeous dock complete with private parking and located less than 20 minutes, by boat or car, from world class beaches and Destin. Wake up in the morning and watch the porpoise jump from the dock, throw a line, go for a swim, paddleboard, kayak (provided) or just relax with a cup of coffee. We will work with ALL DOD and DOD contractors and personnel. Please contact us for details.
