Great For Families- No Cleaning Fees


This house is a 1600 SF home that was renovated in 2020. The neighborhood is considered upscale and was built in the 80''s. There are no through streets so there is no loud noise or traffic.

This home is located 3 miles from Ft Walton Beaches and 7 miles to both Destin and Navarre Beach. I do live across the street should any problems arise. There are security cameras on only on the front of the home and the home has a monitored smoke/fire/weather alarm.
The back porch is very private with 8 ft privacy fences on both sides and trees/shrubs on the back fence. There is a TV on the back porch in the event you want to have a movie night. A permanently mounted propane grill is on the patio for cooking. (I furnish the propane)

Off the living room is a work are with a desk and side table if you bring a printer or other equipment.

This home is very clean and neat. This is a great place to spend with your family to enjoy our beaches and what the area has to offer. Instead of retiring for the evening in a crowded hotel/condo you can relax in a house . If you have any questions regarding this property please send me a message.

If you are traveling for 30+ days I can offer a special discount for military or traveling nurses.

This place feels like a home away from home and Elaine is very accommodating. I felt like I had everything I needed and then some. Would highly recommend this place to any single person traveling or family. It’s also very spacious and for the price, more than fair.

Best VRBO I have ever stayed at!
This should be the blueprint for anyone looking to have their own VRBO, they should stay here first and see how it is done. Every attention to detail is made. Items were not the most generic purchased, everything was top quality. Furniture was great, not flimsy cheap stuff, you really felt like you were staying in a Home and not a house if that makes sense. I would stay again for sure!

Wonderful stay
Thank you Elaine for a wonderful stay. We were right at home. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard. We had everything we needed and more in the house. It was great to explore this part of FL and come home to a nice peaceful place to relax. Thanks for the advice on things to see and do. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Best trip ever
The house was absolutely wonderful. Elaine was an incredible host. Our favorite part was spending the evenings on the screened in back porch watching movies as the sun went down. Elaine left us with some food menu's in our check in book with some awesome suggestions. She was also super helpful in answering any of our qeustions or conserns. The house was very clean and the property very well maintained. All in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back soon to stay here again.

Great Wedding Vacay with our kids!
We enjoyed our stay so much! Elaine had everything set up and ready to go from day 1. We really didn't need to bring anything but our clothes lol. She absolutely made us feel comfortable. That's that southern hospitality!!!! The house was very spacious and looked just like the pictures provided! Our kids and dog enjoyed the back patio the most! When we return to Ft. Walton/Destin, we will definitely see if this place is available!!! Thank you Elaine!

Absolutely amazing!!!!
Mine and my husbands stay at Elaine’s home was absolutely perfect in every way! She met us in the driveway when we first got there and showed us around the house and told us about some restaurants nearby that we could try and that she recommended! The house was completely stocked with anything and everything you could ever need! And if you didn’t have something you needed, Elaine was just a quick message or call away! It was an absolutely beautiful home located in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were super comfy and warm, but my favorite was the gray recliner in the living room with the striped blanket! So comfy! There was nothing like curling up in front of the TV on the recliners under the blankets after a long day of being at the beach or shopping all around! There were also plenty of beach toys that you could use, as well as small things around the house you could use! Elaine really thought of everything! I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend anyone stay here that wants the comforts of home away from home while being super close to beaches, stores, restaurants, etc! I would absolutely stay here again and will be telling all of my family and friends about it! Thank you Elaine for being such an awesome host and for opening your house to us! We will definitely be back in the future!
