What a beautiful place to stay and spend time with 15 of my high school friends. There was plenty of space to spread out and never once did it feel like we were all on top of each other. The grounds were amazing. The pool was enjoyable and the quiet time out on the dock left you feeling at peace and calm. I would recommend this house to anyone.

The pool, hot tub and location made a perfect vacation for my family. After the beach, they would swim and relax at the pool and enjoy the house. Fishing off the dock was fun as well. It was an awesome experience. (Also, having Publix a mile away was a huge advantage)

We stayed here 2 weeks and had a wonderful family vacation. Between the pool, the hot tub, the beach, game room, corn hole, kayaks and paddle boards, the dock and fishing, there was never a dull moment and always something to do! The view was beautiful and we saw alot of marine life in the sounds and even caugh a of couple fish! The house had everthing we needed and and was clean when we arrived. The host was very friendly, helpful, and responsive. We would definitely rent again!

Beautiful house and great location

House was just as advertised, with an amazing view, working hot tub and heated pool, gas grill, plus plenty of beach chairs. Great location if you like being close to Navarre but also a little closer to Mary Esther and Fort Walton.

Everything about our stay was perfect! Whether we were fishing off the dock, walking on the beach, splashing in the pool, or enjoying the sunsets…we had the best time! We even got to see a family of dolphins jumping around…it was a treat for our kids. Tim and Elizabeth were the absolute best hosts and were quick to respond to any questions we had while there. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future.
