Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Our kids loved the games and the backyard, along with the park and beach! The neighborhood was quiet and safe and perfect for walking around with our kids and dog during the day. Amazing!

Fantastically Peaceful Beach Getaway

Loved the neighborhood. Loved the quiet privacy of the back yard! Walked to restaurants and had some awesome jogs. Just be prepared for some FL mosquitoes…had to pick up a citronella candle and a Thermacell unit… but totally worth it to enjoy the Fall evenings on the back deck.

Perfect cottage

My hat is off to the owners! We stay in many places throughout the year but this is the most well appointed house we have ever had. The owners have thought of every detail including a super well equipped kitchen, garage frig with an honor bar, all the beach stuff you could need, and a fire pit ready to light! The cottage is small but so warm and welcoming. The bedrooms are beautiful. The back yard is well lit, has table, fire pit, hot tub and plunge pool - an oasis for sure. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Moody

Host profile image
My name is Margaret and I am from Fort Walton Beach. This property combines two of my very favorite things - this town and a very cute cottage! My joy comes from creating a beautiful space for guests to relax and spend time together. My husband and I love to travel and to spend time with our family. We hope you enjoy our little oasis as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is quiet, but also offers a cute little dog-friendly beach park right down the street, which is great for relaxing in the water and enjoying both sunrise and sunset. Close to everything, and yet not in the middle of all the crazy fun of beach vacation life! This cottage is truly an oasis!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage offers amazing indoor and outdoor spaces. Let's just start with the ample parking for your BOAT or jet skis. Then move into the beautiful outdoor spaces with blooming trees and bushes, outdoor shower, fire pit, back deck and plunge pool. This house is made for a relaxing vacation. As we move inside, everything has been redone and tastefully upgraded - from hotel-quality mattresses to board games and art from local artists.
