The property is 3/4 acre and has this home and a tiny home on wheels on it that is being rented out as well. Each home has a fire pit with adirondack chairs, and there is a picnic table, a grill, corn hole, and a hammock.

Guests can access anything around this home and anything outside except the tiny home on wheels and their fire pit area.

I will be available by phone or text if you have any questions at all.

Just a small country, old Florida neighborhood nestled in live oaks along the Choctawhatchee Bay.

There is plenty of parking at the property. You can bike along the highway if you want. You can also call a shuttle or get an uber or lyft.

This old house is creaky in some places; it is vintage for sure. The floors and entire kitchen are original (except the dishwasher which had to be cut out of cabinetry to be put in). There is a family that lives behind the house that has a dog which can bark at times. The property is on rt 20, which is the only road from Freeport to Niceville, so the traffic can get loud at times especially during beach season. There is a tiny house on the property that is also being rented out. It is adorable!
Please close and lock all windows and doors when you leave the house. Start a load of towels. Strip all used linens and place in laundry baskets and start the dishwasher if you have used dishes. If house is left in bad shape, an additional fee will be charged to the guest; a $1000 fee will be charged if smoking is done in the house. If anything is broken, please let me know. :). No parties please!
