Great For Families


This house is a 1600 SF home that was renovated in 2020. The neighborhood is considered upscale and was built in the 80''s. There are no through streets so there is no loud noise or traffic.

This home is located 3 miles from Ft Walton Beaches and 7 miles to both Destin and Navarre Beach. I do live across the street should any problems arise. There are security cameras on only on the front of the home and the home has a monitored smoke/fire/weather alarm.
The back porch is very private with 8 ft privacy fences on both sides and trees/shrubs on the back fence. There is a TV on the back porch in the event you want to have a movie night. A permanently mounted propane grill is on the patio for cooking. (I furnish the propane)

Off the living room is a work are with a desk and side table if you bring a printer or other equipment.

This home is very clean and neat. This is a great place to spend with your family to enjoy our beaches and what the area has to offer. Instead of retiring for the evening in a crowded hotel/condo you can relax in a house . If you have any questions regarding this property please send me a message.

If you are traveling for 30+ days I can offer a special discount for military or traveling nurses.

I am sorry but pets are not allowed at this location

Friendly & Accommodating
This place feels like a home away from home and Elaine is very accommodating. I felt like I had everything I needed and then some. Would highly recommend this place to any single person traveling or family. It’s also very spacious and for the price, more than fair.

Best VRBO I have ever stayed at!
This should be the blueprint for anyone looking to have their own VRBO, they should stay here first and see how it is done. Every attention to detail is made. Items were not the most generic purchased, everything was top quality. Furniture was great, not flimsy cheap stuff, you really felt like you were staying in a Home and not a house if that makes sense. I would stay again for sure!

Wonderful stay
Thank you Elaine for a wonderful stay. We were right at home. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard. We had everything we needed and more in the house. It was great to explore this part of FL and come home to a nice peaceful place to relax. Thanks for the advice on things to see and do. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Perfect family spot!
This home was amazing for our family as my kids and I joined my husband while he was at Hurlburt for month of training. Super convenient location to base, beaches, and restaurants. Elaine was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. Home was very clean, beds were comfortable, and we loved the screened in porch and yard. Many thanks to Elaine for hosting our stay!
