We enjoyed out stay at Carriage House, only about 15 drive to Henderson State Park Beach (excellent), went there 3 times. Very nice outdoor area where we did most of our cooking and bbq. Also did a nice hike at Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park, only 10 minutes from from property. Only a 7 minute walk from Carriage house to bay. Location is quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Destin Beach but no far if you want to play mini golf, beach, or walk on fishing pier. The only real negative is there is no washer/dryer on property which would be nice. Overall very pleased with owners and property.
