This was by far the best VRBO we've ever stayed out. House was newly remodeled, clean and nicely decorated. This owner has thought of everything! Kitchen was very nicely stocked with cookware and many extras. Neighborhood was extremely quiet; backyard was fabulous for our little dog. We could not have designed a better vacation home. Owner was very attentive and we needed nothing during our extended stay. Will definitely visit here again and highly recommend to anyone traveling in this area.

The property was as described. It was new and clean in every aspect. The owner was very responsive and went above and beyond to make it a great stay by providing treats for my teenagers along with getting them a TV to play their games on. All of the extras in the home was also great from the hot tube and the chairs and umbrella for the beach. The community was very quiet and had a great strip of sidewalk for our morning walks. I will definitely be back next year.

Very impressed!! Plenty of room and very comfortable! Very clean! Host was amazing as well, went and checked the house to make sure everything was in order and left a sweet treat for us when we arrived. Answered any questions we had and responded within 30 minutes and at the most an hour. Plenty of the essentials which was fantastic - 1st time I didn’t have to go buy the basic essentials. Fire pit was great! Used the grill a few times, and hot tub was great! Definitely would recommend! Best rental experience ever!

THE PLACE TO STAY
This has been the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had. This home is beautiful, well kept and the host is absolutely amazing. Niceville is the perfect distance from any of your favorite beaches in the area, while also giving you the peace and seclusion you might want. If there is absolutely any questions on this place, fear not as you will not regret your stay here. A BIG THANK YOU to the host, our trip was amazing due to our stay as well
