About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private lakefront home w/porch & dock--fish, relax; quiet & shady

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. You can request fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge. There are several golf courses, scuba diving, horseback riding, and fishing charter opportunities -- all of which can be done as a day trip.

Other recommendations and entertainment ideas can be provided upon request. Please review house rules regarding pets. There is a $50 fee for animals brought on the property.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

The home was exactly as described. The location was secluded but I felt very safe with all the doors having dead bolts. This Lakeside home was very "homey", comfortable and very clean. I would definitely return especially when the weather was warmer so i could enjoy the screened in porch and the dock. Theresa was very accommodating.

I have to say this place was wonderful.My favorite thing was drinking my coffe on the deck in the morning under the trees and spanish moss listening to the birds. It was so relaxing. House very clean, basic necessities. Good parking. 2 steps in for folks with mobility issues. One step in shower and one tub. Hot water with good water pressure. 1 king room and 2 beds in another room. Great kitchen, has ice maker. Also screened in porch with table and chairs. Decent walk down stairs to a great dock looks great for fishing. Also a fire pit and grill area with pavillion. I dont think it could get much better. Thank you again for a great stay!

I have to say this was one of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had.Jonas and Teresa are the epitome the excellent host. I needed a couple of old bars in the shower, and immediately after we arrived they were on the spot, put them up, and I was safe during the duration of my visit.If you from behind the house was impeccable. It was quiet and peaceful, and we had all the privacy that we could possibly want.Inside of the house was both comfortable and well kept. The kitchen was well-stocked as well as cleaner than my own home.I cannot wait to find an excuse to come back and spend more time here.

Lake retreat

This property offers serenity at its beat. We needed a breath. We are dealing with our flooded house feom Hurricane Milton. We have been working around the clock to do the restoration of the water that ran thru our home. This home on the water provided us the beautiful lake and dock to just sit on, dropnour toes in the water and decompress. Having been a professional cleaner for over 40 years I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the home. The host as well as their cleaning staff were beyond friendly and accommodating.

Serenity

Our stay at the cabin on Lake Juniper was nothing short of magical. It was the most peaceful retreat we’ve ever taken—so serene that for days, we wouldn’t hear another human voice as we sat by the lake, completely immersed in nature. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the water was an unforgettable experience, and we have the most beautiful photos to take home, especially of the azaleas in full bloom.Springtime here was a gift, and from this perfect home base, we were able to explore so much of the surrounding area. We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at McGuires —both in Panama City Beach and Destin—each offering its own lively charm. We walked the stunning two-mile boardwalk at Turkey Creek, taking in the natural beauty, and found ourselves returning to Eden Gardens more than once, captivated by the magnificent trees that have stood for centuries.Through it all, our hosts ensured that our stay was seamless, addressing any small needs we had with kindness and care. Their hospitality made an already perfect getaway even more special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning to this slice of paradise.
