About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private lakefront home w/porch & dock--fish, relax; quiet & shady

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. You can request fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge. There are several golf courses, scuba diving, horseback riding, and fishing charter opportunities -- all of which can be done as a day trip.

Other recommendations and entertainment ideas can be provided upon request. Please review house rules regarding pets. There is a $50 fee for animals brought on the property.

“Borderline 11”

I have to say this was one of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had.Jonas and Teresa are the epitome the excellent host. I needed a couple of old bars in the shower, and immediately after we arrived they were on the spot, put them up, and I was safe during the duration of my visit.If you from behind the house was impeccable. It was quiet and peaceful, and we had all the privacy that we could possibly want.Inside of the house was both comfortable and well kept. The kitchen was well-stocked as well as cleaner than my own home.I cannot wait to find an excuse to come back and spend more time here.

Lake retreat

This property offers serenity at its beat. We needed a breath. We are dealing with our flooded house feom Hurricane Milton. We have been working around the clock to do the restoration of the water that ran thru our home. This home on the water provided us the beautiful lake and dock to just sit on, dropnour toes in the water and decompress. Having been a professional cleaner for over 40 years I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the home. The host as well as their cleaning staff were beyond friendly and accommodating.

We really enjoyed our time at this location. We did some fishing and also enjoyed going to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. Enclosed patio was nice even though we only had 15 minutes of rain during our stay.

Lovely peaceful place

Very comfortable, well maintained home in a quiet neighborhood on a beautiful lake. It's close to a few restaurants and a Dollar store. Host sent me codes, wifi information, directions and had no trouble finding it or getting in. I will definitely book it again. My first time with VRBO. I was very happy.

We loved our stay. House was perfect size for the 5 of us. We had a few visitors (none overnight) since we were there for a funeral. The living/dining area was a perfect size and all our guests were well pleased with the amenities. We will definitely keep this place in mind when we need to return to the area.
