Spring Break

We stayed here for spring break with our college aged kids. The house has great indoor and outdoor spaces with plenty of seating. It is an easy drive to the beaches as well as many eating places. Wonderful hosts as well.

Just Perfect!

This beautiful home has everything you need for a relaxing weekend on beautiful Cinco Bayou! The hosts are as wonderful as the property, and the property is superb! We honestly would not change a thing about the place. The lot is gorgeous, the dock is large and inviting, the home is spacious, comfortable and well-appointed with bayside living in mind, and the outdoor patio deck and outdoor kitchen are ideal for enjoying the view of Cinco Bayou day or night. The fire table just adds to the ambiance. We will certainly be coming back if the hosts will have us! A+++++!

Fantastic property

This was my first time booking a Vrbo. So I wasn't entirely sure what to expect but this house was amazing, clean, spacious. and the VIEW is amazing. We saw so many dolphins a turtle and a blue Herron. The owner responded right away when I reached out regarding a light issue. But it was only to make them aware. Highly recommend! if we happen to be in this area again for softball I will absolutely rent this house!

Home away from home plus 10

Highly Highly Recommend. My Family and I loved this house. Large and Roomy for Everyone. Grilled steaks outside while watching outdoor patio large screen tv, watched dolphins surface several days in a row and even caught a few fish. Looking for crabs on the shore was also a huge bonus for the little one. Great location, not far from Walmart or the White Sand Beaches. Hoping to book again soon for another family vacation.

Excellent for stay with boat!

Our stay was excellent all the way around. Home was clean and in good condition. Standout was dock and back deck, could not ask for better. I hate to go from that to “issues,” because they do outweigh the good and would put in category of recommendations. Large TV in seating area near kitchen would not connect to streaming devices. The second, much bigger, was the number of security cameras everywhere. A bit of uneasiness, regardless of being on/monitored or not. But would stay again without second thought.

2023 Destin vacation

House & boat dock was perfect for our family of 8, especially the boat dock. We had easy access to our pontoon boat & 2 jet skis. Plenty of room for all 3. The only thing negative I have to say is the mattress on the pullout couch was pretty rough, mostly springs. Other than that it was by far the best location for us that we’ve rented in Fort Walton/Destin area. I definitely recommend this property & the host were great!

Excellent Dock

Excellent boat conditions. The dock seems brand new, has really nice bumper pads on the columns, has shore power and strong water pressure from the water hose. Public boat ramp at the PNC up the street less than a half mile away. No line to put in. 20 minute boat ride to crab island on plane no idling the whole way. Near ideal boating scenario. Very happy.

Heaven on the Bayou

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this home for Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for us to congregate together or spread out if we needed some space from each other. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with any pot, pan, and utensil you could need and we cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner with ease. The beds are very comfortable and the view of the bayou from the back deck is gorgeous! We had lots of fun fishing from the dock. We had a minor issue while staying there (technology always likes to remind us how much we depend on it) and the owners responded IMMEDIATELY and went out of their way to fix the issue - even on Thanksgiving day. Some family members have already talked about wanting to stay at this home again in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect stay

House was perfect for our 5 night stay. House was clean and spacious. Outdoor patio was excellent for grilling during the day and relaxing at night. They had Cornhole and boce ball to play. The grill and fire pit were easy to use. We were there to visit my nephew at the Eglin Air Force base and it was no more than a 15 min drive. If it wasn’t for the traffic over the weekend, our trip to Destin beaches would’ve been faster but driving wasn’t an issue. The hosts were very quick to reply with any questions we had and even when the wifi was down, they fixed it right away. Walmart and Sam’s Club were really close to stock up on supplies. Whataburger was also around the corner. We even got to take a quick dip in the bayou. Highly recommend this place for a larger group. We had children and teens with us and they were all entertained.

Fantastic

We had a fantastic getaway. The house was exactly what was pictured. I love the layout of the house because everyone had their own space. Location is perfect being close to the launch and Winn Dixie/Walmart. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. The owners were in great contact with us and made sure they were there for anything we may need. The only suggestion is possible plumbing upgrade because water pressure could be better. But overall, 5 star!

Great for family groups gathering

Property is much nicer than the pictures show. Decorated very nicely -beachy! The grounds are well manicured, the grass was cut early one morning while we were there. The dock is brand new and perfect for your boat and kayak launching. There is a large metal grid/dock for kayak launching. We fished off the dock too and were tormented by two very large bull reds that just wouldn’t bite live shrimp or pin fin! My only critic would be the master bath needs a new shower head and some redo. We all had a great time and Terri and John add little extra touches to make the stay special and memorable. Thank you for a great time!

Why they chose this property

My grandfather had a home on Cinco Bayou many years ago, when this home was available we were so excited! We love everything about being on the water.

What makes this property unique
