Better than the Pictures!
The first thing my husband and I thought was that the layout of the property was far better than the photos. Large rooms, walk-in closets in every room, a great open space, and a well-separated Master Suite, all on one-level, which is essential for my husband. Nice wrap-around porch where we sat most nights (it could use a paint refresh, but that is minor nit-picking). Across from a VERY busy bar/restaurant, so if privacy is paramount to you, this might not be the right place. However, the house was generally quiet despite the crowds, and we loved the setting at the restaurant, both for drinks downstairs and food upstairs. The screen doors both had issues closing, but again, this was nothing that would change our stay: just an observation and perhaps problematic if you had children of an age to wander outdoors. The icing on top was the responsiveness of the owner. I asked to have oxygen delivered for my husband on Friday--we didn't arrive until Sunday--and the owner met with the company to get that accomplished. We also had an issue with the burners on the stove and the owner had it repaired immediately. Despite that, the owner remained unobtrusive throughout our stay, which is our strong preference. Although we chose the home initially because it was only a mile away from our daughter's house and across the street from a marina, we would absolutely stay again because of how "comfortable" it was. We had family over frequently and they said the same. Absolutely recommend highly! (Note: The 4-stars for check-in is only because the lockbox was VERY hard to open, not because of the owner or any significant difficulties with the process.)

Great property
This house is great! It is ideally situated between Destin and Fort Walton Beach. It’s very spacious and comfortable for our family of five. It was very clean and has been updated since our last stay. The check in/ check out process was painless and contact free. Wharf 850 is a quick walk across the street for dinner. We will continue to stay here when visiting the Panhandle. Thank you for a wonderful time!

World Series
We had a really wonderful experience and everything was just absolutely perfect. House was very spacious and welcoming and the area was great. We stayed here for my sons baseball World Series and it was the best choice. Plus we came home champions! Would definitely recommend this place.

Great local home
I wanted a nice house in my home town and near my parents and I got it! Close to The Wharf 850 for food and drink with beautiful sunsets. This home really is a great place to relax. I can't really complain, but I would like to see a larger water heater installed at some point.

Quiet Neighborhood With A Great View
The property and home were very clean. The view was lovely being right across from the Marina. It is located very conveniently to many shops and the main road.

Beautiful and clean house!
The home was gorgeous, clean and perfectly set up for us! My husband and I stayed there with our 5 kids. We all slept great! The hot water heater went out while we were there, but they took care of it immediately for us! Awesome communication and response time! Would definitely stay there again if we come out this way!

Family Reunion Fun!
This rental worked well, big rooms and close to everything we needed. My only suggestion, more paper towels and trash bags were needed. Oh! and outside trash was hard to find! We would definitely rent again!

We loved everything about this place and the location. It was very clean and roomy. Boat slip right across the street was easy to access. Will definitely book again.

Great getaway place
The marina house is very spacious, with a large kitchen, dining room, bed rooms and bathrooms. The house has everything you need for a nice stay. The marina right across the street is a definite plus. Ana and Allen are very helpful. This is a pleasant area, we stayed 6 weeks.🙂

It was really nice to welcome such a thoughtful couple who left the house spotless! We always love intuitive guests who are considerate and don’t even have to ask about the check out procedure because they’re going to leave your house the way they found it! Thank you Tony and Karie, wish you the best in your endeavors!

We’re so blessed to have guests like you! Thank you so much for your help if it wasn’t for you it would have taken hours to do that laundry and clean the house for the following guests. We really appreciate it! Hope to see you again in Niceville!

Exactly what we needed
Very nice spacious house. Quiet area and close to Publix and other local stores. We were still able to get to Destin and Ft Walton in less than 25 minutes without staying in the craziness of down there. Rooms were all nice size and a nice big open kitchen. Very relaxing stay.

We were very happy your family and you enjoyed the house! You did a tremendous job watering the plants and organizing things like laundry before you left, ever so grateful.for your consideration and being a good sport knowing that the house had to be cleaned in a short time. We love families who treat the home like their own. Thank you!

Perfect for our family of 8!
We recently stayed at the Marina House. It was much roomier than I had expected. Very clean and completely furnished. The home is located in a quiet area across the street from the Marina. While we stayed, the a/c unit had an issue. The property manager acted quickly to have the issue resolved. She and the property owner both called to check on our family afterward. We were highly impressed with the courtesy and caring shown. The home is located about 13 miles from the beaches of Destin. The drive there isn't bad but the traffic slows you down a bit (just prepare to leave earlier if driving to Destin). Overall, I highly recommend the Marina House. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, We try very hard to please our guests and handling an emergency is as imperative for you the guest and it is for us the manager/owner. A vacation equals enjoyment and we wouldn't dream of spoiling it ! You have a lovely family and we so enjoyed having you as our guests! Hope you come back next year and try to schedule your time for either late May or early August when the traffic is much less in the area and you can make it to the best Emerald Coast beach within 20 minutes. Your dedication and help in watering our window boxes was superlative, a big THANK YOU!

Perfect location and amnities
We needed a location to host a Bridesmaid Brunch and other events associated with my daughter's wedding. Marina house was very nicely situated with proximity to our rehearsal dinner location, and offered enough space for the brunch. An added value was the marina across the street for a boat outing. The deck was great for a cookout and evening gathering with a view of the water. There were several nearby restaurants that were a plus for guests. The house itself has many amenities and Anna the hostess is genuinely gracious and very helpful. We would highly recommend this location and house.

Thank you Annette, it's a joy to share someone's joy and that's what we felt the day we saw the entrance porch for your daughter's Bridesmaids Brunch. Love is contagious and we felt it that day from how splendidly you decorated with pictures, tulips and tulle. Thankful you picked us for the occasion. People come and go some leave places better than they found them and we're grateful they took the time to write their feedback for others.
