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. Kitchen is stocked with coffee to start your mornings off right. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. Check out the 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.

Quiet and secluded
We really enjoyed the private setting amongst the live oaks and Spanish moss and on the water! I caught a nice largemouth bass while wading around the dock. We would definitely stay again!

Very comfortable stay
Close enough to town. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the quiet calmness of the deck, screened in porch and walk to the water. Walmart delivery for forgotten items was spot on. Tannin’s restaurant easily accompanied 20 for dinner after my brother's memorial service. Service and food were wonderful. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Winter retreat
My 3 teens and I were 1 month snow birds in this lovely home. The internet was great for school. The host was quick to respond and let us borrow additional kitchen gadgets we needed for a longer stay. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and walking the neighborhood. We were close enough to explore the beaches and amazing hiking trails. We would choose to stay here again.

Cat Island
Peaceful, quite area, fenced yard, circle drive. hanging moss swaying in the trees. Boardwalk takes you right off the back deck to the lake behind. Sunrise -be sure and take your morning coffee down to the little boat dock, and come back again in the evening for spectacular sun set. Large screened area on the back deck right out from the kitchen. Wash dishes looking out with view of the lake. Bed is firm and slept very well. Showers are great. owners are quick to respond to inquiries. Decor and furniture updates make the space more cozy and welcoming than when we booked online. Cat Island is 4 minutes around the corner :)

Just wanted to make memories.
Our family had an amazing vacation! After a very hard year of battling cancer, our family needed to reconnect & unwind. I grew up in the area & brought my family down to see my hometown. Didn’t get a chance to enjoy the firepit due to summer heat but the outdoor pavilion, picnic table & fan w/ lighting, were great for entertaining some old friends & family for dinner. The dock has benches on either side & was a great peaceful spot to just relax & enjoy nature while you feed the fish. My oldest son caught & released his 1st fish ever. The fishing poles & hooks are in the shed. We used the cooler for drinks when we went to the beaches & Springs. The view was beautiful at sunset. The screened in porch entertained many conversations & allowed us a spot away from the insects at dusk. The facilities were amazing & the owners Theresa & Jonas were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you are looking for a vacation for quality family time. We had a wonderful time! We made a lot of memories. We will absolutely book again when we are back. Some of our guests asked for the information for a local staycation. If you are looking for a relaxing place with spectacular views & waterfront access, you won't find a better place than Serenity Retreat. I do wish there would have been an option for a peddle boat, a small fishing boat, or canoe so we could have paddled around the lake. Also, a bigger couch for better cuddle time with my kiddos.

Lake Jenny and nearby natural springs
I took my 3 kids and one of their friends for a long weekend with plans to go to the nearby natural springs. We enjoyed this lake house as much as we did the springs. The kids fished, we swam, we made s’mores in the fire pit, ate on the enclosed back porch, and watched the sun set and rise on the lake. The place is much prettier than the pictures. It’s clean and roomy, too. I look forward to staying here again when we are in the area.
