Location is very nice, not on the water but across the street. With the past hurricane the homes in front of the view have not been rebuilt so you get the sunset view of the gulf (the reason for the rental 1mm view). The home interior needs a repaint and be prepared to hall you garbage away with you as there is no garbage service. We only had one issue that was owner error, they did not pay their internet bill, so 2 of our 3 days we had no internet. Over all nice place, but definitely not a 5 star rating. Ps the neighborhood dog , a wonderful yellow lab, is the highlight of the trip. Please have him brought to the vet as we fear he may need help as he is left outside all the time. Felt very sorry for him.

Perfect place for scalloping and hideaway.

This is our 2nd year staying at Dekle Beach Darling and we will be back again and again. The house is always clean, spacious for our family and Lisa responds to our questions promptly. We love this location in part due to the private boat ramp which is perfect for scalloping season. The nearby neighbors are friendly too.

Wonderful!

The place was exactly what the pictures showed. Super clean, stunning views, comfortable bed. Lisa was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The house had absolutely everything you could need. I am a travel RN that came to have a quiet spot to read my books with my dogs and have a nice view… and I had exactly that. Would most definitely come back :)

Middle of nowhere quiet

The 3 story home is a challenge to go up and down. The direct tv didn't work. We were looking for a quiet weekend for our 53rd anniversary. That was it. Internet wifi worked. We visited Steinhatchy and did a seafood boil from Winn Dixie in Perry.

Fun little vaca

This was our first time renting through VRBO and first time in this area. The reservation process was easy in communication with the owner is great. The house itself was decent and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners were definitely getting ready to do some renovations on the home, replacing doors, and building a huge bar on the middle deck. My only real complaint with the place is that the doors were very hard to open due to weathering and the queen size bed was extremely noisy. I’ve never quite heard a bed crunch like this one did. As well the twin size bed frame needs replacement. I think some basic maintenance and quick clean out of the closets would make this place an absolute gem but like I said it appears that the owners have this underway. Overall our stay was fantastic, the views and location were great! We would definitely rent here again!

Enjoyable but lacking luster!

It is lacking that wow factor, the view from the balcony, beautiful... however, house definitely needs updating! It was scary to use the pots and pans, extremely old, very limited with the dish soap and because it was cheap, did not last but 1 day! 1 roll of toilet paper and like a little over the one already there, unheard of! We've stayed in many beach areas, and nowhere have we had an issue the bathroom sink, it was clogged up the whole time we were there, and it would be nice if the ceiling fan on the covered patio. It was disappointing, the expectations did not meet the price.

Family Fishing Trip

We arrived from Charleston SC at check in, enjoyed the beautiful view until two more family came. Lovely house, lots of room and the porch view was incredible. Easy to put the boat in, the ramp was across the street! We caught enough fish to feed our crew each day at the only restaurant and they include cook your catch on the menu. We caught Red Fish and Speckled Trout

Business Stay

We enjoyed our stay. Just know when you go to this area, dogs are not on leashes. Most of the dogs in the area seemed to get along well, but we're used to leash laws in Georgia. The weather was beautiful and we loved the screened in area. Sunsets were my favorite.

The location is perfect. Convenient to the beaches and landing. The community landing was a plus. The home is beautiful. I love the set up and it is so cozy. The evening sunset views are amazing. Fishing and scalloping in this area was great. I will definitely save this home for future trips.

Dog Feedback

everyone in the neighborhood knew one another and so did the dogs. it was like a group of canine children going from house to house to play. all the dogs were friendly and the people too. this is not a complaint against anyone - again, everyone was helpful and great! this did present a challenge though as our dogs are not used to this and can be a little reactive to strange dogs approaching them. perhaps a warning about this or a fence of some sort could help. also, we had to use a piece of sheetrock from the carport to stop dogs from coming all the way to our front door. if you need us to replace this, please let us know. i cannot say enough how great of a time we had, the location was great, and the people were great. we are going to keep this property in mind for future trips too.

Wow - Amazing

We recently spent Memorial Weekend at this incredible rental, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The place was absolutely beautiful and peaceful, offering stunning sunsets and perfect tides and weather. It was a family-friendly environment where the kids could play safely, and we could enjoy activities like boating, fishing, walking, golf cart rides, and swimming. The property exceeded all our expectations, providing the perfect setting for a memorable and enjoyable weekend. We look forward to return several times throughout the summer. We give this place the highest rating possible and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an ideal getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Maxwell

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Crawfordville. I grew up in Taylor County and have a fond memories of summers at Dekle Beach. We both love fishing and spending time with friends and family. My husband loves to cook so we enjoy fishing and cooking our catch.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Taylor County so I had many fond childhood memories spending summers and special occasions at Dekle Beach. Many of my childhood friends owned property at Dekle Beach so when I had the chance to purchase property and build a house, I jumped on it!

What makes this property unique

Excellent fishing, scalloping, bird watching and beautiful sunsets and small friendly community. So very Thankful the house survived Hurricane Helene with mostly damage to the mezzanine.
