About this property

Remodeled House with Pool on Quiet cul-de-sac! Walk to beach on Bay!

Newly remodeled house with private pool on a quiet cul-de-sac. Walk to a small private beach on the bay with the Gulf only 6 miles away. Local boat ramp in the neighborhood and dock your boat at a marina only 1 mile away! For more than 6 guests we have a separate mini-apartment, a Cabana, with all its own amenities.

The house:
The home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac with absolutely no through traffic. Great for your peace, relaxation and safety of your children. Recently remodeled with huge open living room, kitchen and dining area. Kitchen with all amenities to include: rice cooker, crock pot, air fryer, 2 coffee pots, all kinds of cookware. Walk in master bath shower, large washer and dryer, and extra TV in one bedroom,

The area:
Only 150 feet from a small, secluded beach in our neighborhood on the bay (see the pictures)! is only 6 miles from the beautiful Emerald Coast beach on the Gulf. We are also only 1,200 feet from another public beach on the bay that has a free boat ramp for smaller boats! There is a Full-size marina only 1 1/2 miles away in the neighborhood! Nearby are state parks, museums, 3 golf courses, the Gulfarium Marine park, Okaloosa pier, Okaloosa island beach access, Destin Harbor walk, putt-putt golf courses, go cart tracks, adventure park, and MANY fun things to do within 15-minute drive! If you adventure further, you can drive down scenic 30A to Panama City or to Navarre and Pensacola to the West. I recommend you check out the many Destin travel videos on YouTube. One in particular by Tampa Aerial Media has a Destin travel video that is extremely detailed and even shows you the prices of the various activity and event options.

The Cabana:
For 7 to 9 guests, you get to use the extra mini-apartment (cabana) in the backyard. It has a queen bed, pull out sofa, TV, refrigerator and microwave. Bathroom is downstairs and available for when using the pool or outside.

The Pool and Backyard:
We did a Pool remodeling last year! The new pool is only 4 1/2 ft at the deep end. Perfect and safe for the entire family. I do however, REQUIRE THAT ALL ADULT GUESTS SIGN A SAFETY AND RELEASE WAIVER. See rental agreement for details. The outbuilding has its own bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower for your use when enjoying the pool. There are several chairs, tables and area to spread out by the pool or under cover by the back of the house. The charcoal grill is available for your use as well.

Other Amenities:
You get much more than any standard rental. In addition to all the extras in the kitchen already mentioned, I also have probably dozen beach towels, a beach umbrella, floaties, inner tubes, several coolers and plenty of extras you can borrow for the pool or the beach! You can borrow an extra fold-out table for your grilling.

We aim for your Satisfaction!
We live just across the street and will meet your party upon your arrival. We are available for your questions, concerns or perhaps to let you borrow something not in the house. Check my satisfaction rating on my other property, a condo, at listing 2115124. I am one of very few with over 100 ratings and they are all 5-star! I aim to satisfy my guests.

Rental Agreement:
As mentioned, you MUST read the rental agreement! This is designed for your safety and ours. By making a reservation, you agree to the terms. In addition, when your party arrives, we will meet you and ALL adults in your party will be required to sign.

Fishing trip location

Stayed at this establishment for a fishing trip out of Fort Walton Beach. Had a great time close to the location and to the beach area. Beach was crowded, but that was to be expected. This home was lovely and in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, close to shopping and dining locations. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect

We had a great time!! Mike met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour around the property to make sure we had everything we needed. They even had a map ready for us be able to find the way to private beach front. The house was beautiful and clean in such a cute and quiet neighborhood with a private backyard while still close enough to restaurants and everything else we planned to do during our stay. We will definitely want to stay here again!

We loved this property!! Mike is a wonderful host who came and checked us in and gave us lots of suggestions of activities. He had given us the tour or the entire house. All the amenities in the house were above par. Huge inventory of towels which would not run out with family of 5. Our kids enjoyed the property and the pool. Wells highly recommend this property and looking forward to staying at our next visit. Thank you again Mike for your hospitality!

Perfect

This house was perfect for my family. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Access to the bay is either a short walk or drive from the house. It is also close to the airport, which was handy for us. The property and amenities were clean and plentiful. The pool was a great addition. We were also close to places we love to visit when visiting my sister.

Overall

Overall a great experience. The house host was super friendly and helpful. The house was clean and we really enjoyed the privacy of being in a house as opposed to a large condo. Conveniently located close to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and we will be booking again when we get ready for another family beach trip!!

Awesome rental property!

Loved the house in a nice, quiet neighborhood! The bed I had in my room was more comfortable than my own - I slept great every night. Mike was very attentive to our needs and met us the first night to show us around, showed us the amenities and told us about the area in general. Although we didn’t use it as much as we normally do, the pool was really nice and very clean. Definitely a great place to stay for the week, and we’d come back again! Thanks Mike to you and your wife for a great week and sharing your home!

Fishing trip

We have a boat at two George’s marina and didn’t want to stay on the beach. This property is very convenient to get to the marina. We stayed in the main house and the pool house. Both were perfect for what we were doing. The main house has lots of space and even with seven people we never feel cramped. All the beds were very comfortable and the main house bathrooms were very nice. The pool house bathroom is not air conditioned so it gets a little stuffy in there when taking a shower. That really didn’t bother any of us but if that is a concern you could always go in one of the main house bathrooms to shower. Will definitely stay here again!
