Private Bayfront Escape near Destin and 30a.

Peaceful escape right on the bay next to 300 acres of natural woods and beach. Tucked in the back of a neighborhood 20 mins from Destin and 30 mins from 30a (depending on seasonal traffic). Property has a dock with a built in hammock and swings as well as a fire fit out back. Amazing sunrise views and plenty of natural wildlife such as dolphins and eagles. A beautiful 16ft cedar table will hold your entire family under the porch. Large property for kids and pets to run and play with a ramp down to the beach for paddle boarding and kayak access. The Boat ramp is also just 2 miles up the road and plenty of room in the driveway to store your boat. Yard games such as corn hole and badminton provided.

The BEST Vacation!

The most amazing family stay at the bay in Florida, and we truly didn’t want to leave! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by so many dolphins swimming right out front – it was such an exciting way to kick off our trip.The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking every single day — like something out of a postcard. Our kids had the best time fishing off the dock and were catching fish after fish, which kept them busy and happy for hours. The paddle boards and kayaks were a huge hit and surprise and feel they made the trip with out teens even more fun! The house itself was super comfortable and perfectly accommodating for our family. It had everything we needed and felt like a true home away from home. We also loved how close it was to both the bay and the beach — it made it so easy to bounce between relaxing by the calm bay and enjoying the ocean waves. The big dining room table gave us the opportunity to eat together at dinner and It was fun to sit by the fire at night and see the moon on the water!We honestly can’t say enough good things about our stay. Beautiful views, unforgettable memories, and so much joy. Already dreaming about coming back!

Down by the bay

Our stay down by the bay was great! The bay was right outside of the backdoor. The dock is perfect for sitting on or fishing off of. You have your own private beach for swimming or putting in your kayak. The use of the kayaks and paddleboards was very nice. The house is great. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked. Location is great, very quiet. In between Freeport and Niceville. Great local restaurant not far, Nicks seafood. Communication with Amy was great. We had a blast!

Family Vacay 2025

The location of the house is amazing. We were able to see the dolphins and an alligator in the bay. Kids enjoyed fishing and caught several fish, a crab and stingray. (They were all safely returned to the water) The house was big enough for all 13 of us and there is plenty of our door seating.

Love this house

We absolutely loved this house and the location and the owners helped with answering all questions super fast. There was an issue with the washer being loud but not to horrible. Only thing that would have made it better was a pool and hot tub since I don’t really do ocean swimming but everyone else in our group loved the ocean definitely would come back. Also first time at the ocean and actually seeing dolphins like three times a day every day we was there. I didn’t take many pics as I was chasing my 4 year old around.

Overall it was amazing. So relaxing with the most beautiful scenery. We loved paddle boarding for the first time ever. Beds were so comfy and plenty of things to do for the family. Even my three year old played with the toys upstairs. We would absolutely come back if we had the chance!

Great Location

Great location, add said two miles of beach on conservation area. There is no where near two miles. Beach is blocked 300yds down. This was not accurate. BBQ grill does not work properly, this probably upset me the worst as we cook at home the most. Appliances need replaced, dryer and washer worked part time. Washer wouldnt spin several times. Drain was slow in one of the bathrooms on the lower level. Great location secluded, but would need to repair somethings before i would rent again,

Family Thanksgiving

A well supplied water front property. We woke up to beautiful sunrises but also blaring sun in our eyes with no shades. The adjacent beach is cluttered with bricks and debris which this. owner has no control over. Our dogs were welcome and had a blast but the dogs next Door barked and barkedWe would rent it again

Home away from home.

Instantly upon arrival, we felt like we were home, there was a wonderful note from the owner, a bottle of wine, coffee, and all the instructions regarding the property and the available amenities. Our teenagers enjoyed the dock and swings, as well as the paddle boards and kayaks. The home has a wonderful view of the bay and the yard is beautifully taken care of (we actually went without shoes because the back yard is so lush). The beds were comfy and furniture was great for hanging out during storms or just to relax. We utilized the dining room for game night (we brought games) for after dinner. We also enjoyed our daily view of dolphins frolicking and hunting in the bay...what a sight! The property was well maintained, everything you need is there, just bring yourself and any food/drinks you want to indulge in while there. We really didn't need to leave the property, but we did venture to Destin for the beach and for fishing on a offshore charter, all were within a 30 mins drive (traffic once entering Destin is the major contributor to time). Niceville is a short drive (les than 15 mins), they have several groceries, eateries, etc. We hope to return annually and I wish I could keep this place a secret because we didn't want to leave.
