Sandy was great! She came by and spoke to us while my boys were out enjoying the kayak. We also got to meet Teddy Bear (Sandy's dog). Sandy accommodated my request to checkout a little late. My boys and I enjoyed the location, the host, and our Mother-Sons trip!

This is an excellent location to be away from the major traffic areas but yet still close to everything. That back porch is so peacful to watch the sunrise. Being dog people, we loved the visits from Teddy Bear. I highly recommended taking the kayaks out on the bay. Sandy is easily one of my top 3 hosts I've even stayed at

The host Sandy was amazing! Everything was very easy from checking in to check out and the house was beautiful. Lots of extras that were available to us as well, including recommendations for eating and shopping and beach going from previous occupants that helped out a lot.The patio and the deck were definitely a plus, the shower was very nice and the beds were very comfortable. Create on property parking and Wi-Fi plus a TV in both bedrooms also made this day very easy and relaxing. Highly recommend this small dockside oasis to anyone looking to be out of the hub of Destin but within very close proximity to everything.
