We enjoyed the horses and donkey, but not the property. It is a very secluded area which is great that is away from the hustle and bustle. However after a few days in my husband and I didn't realized that the property managers would be entering the small front room with the washer/cleaning supply room what seemed daily (attached to the tiny home in front). It drove our dog insane stirring him awake to bark which caused us all to be unable to sleep past a certain hour. The property managers let us know they would try to be quiet. The wake up call was very disturbing 6-8am. James was very kind sharing many different produce. We appreciate the gratitude from him. However we expected a little more privacy and peace. It was a little shocking to not feel comfortable even opening the blinds because their RV is right outside the tiny house and to see them just sitting outside facing right towards the property. Well we just pull the blinds and called it a day. However, that wasn't the only issue. The property just was too hot in the loft for comfort. We had to resort to buying air mattresses just to sleep on the floor just to manage not sweating while sleeping. On the rainy days it was much more manageable but not livable. We have to rent multiple other places (unbearable inadequate cooling). Your property would work well for the winter/and spring. We left the place clean spent hours cleaning with photos. We were told it was a mess after checkout (lies) RENTER BEWARE!! Unethical.

We turned a long weekend into a mini-vacay, and this home was perfect in its privacy, comfort, and proximity to the beach. The home was welcoming, had everything needed for cooking and clean-up, and our morning coffee routine quickly included a chat with the horses. Highly recommend this home!

Great private area.
Quiet and removed from most Florida tourist spots.
Still a short drive to activities.
Loved having the horses (and Donkey) next door. Loved being pet on. Merlin really stole my wife’s heart.
Next time hopefully it’s cooler so we can get out more but the split air unit works well.

Felt at home
It was very relaxing and very homey reminded me of where I used to live beautiful night skies and very kind people that took care of everything for us and everything was clean it is a lil drive to the beach but I loved it there, as well as my wife and child did as well. Thank you for everything great stay
A good place. Only improvement needed is better climate control. The beds being upstairs in the loft, the temperature at night was very high and trying to get to sleep was difficult because of that. Another thing to keep in mind is that this is a rural area, and as such, there are chances of rifles, shotguns and pistols being fired. One night, two rifle shots woke me up at 2AM, and then at 3AM there was another rifle shot that rung out. I grew up in the country and wasn’t worried. I’m guessing this was a night hog hunt taking place.

Great place to stay!
We loved our week at Eagle's Landing. We explored the trails just steps from the cottage each morning - which Hudson loved. Then after breakfast, we went to the doggie beach on Navarre Beach, or explored Navarre, Pensacola, or Milton. Kim told us about a really nice river walk near Milton where we enjoyed off-leash time for Hudson. The cottage was charming (lots of property), with wonderful amenities. Kim and James even left water, coffee, and snacks for us - they were perfect hosts! The sunsets and stars were amazing each evening! The horses were fun to see and talk to each day and the area was very quiet and peaceful. We would highly recommend staying in the Eagle's Landing and hope to come back.
Side note: pay close attention to Kim's directions. Our GPS was trying to send us all different ways!
