Great place to stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay here! The location couldn't be better if you are looking for a quiet stay by the ocean. Just a short walk to the uncrowded, beautiful beach. And you can't beat the sunsets! We are looking forward to our next visit.

Amazing trip!

Great stay from start to finish. I have zero complaints. This was probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. My kids had the best time and the walk to the gulf was super short. We could hear the waves from the balcony. Amenities were awesome! Cant wait to come back!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

My family loved this amazing beach vacation rental—it is pet-friendly and surpassed all expectations! Just a short walk to the sand makes it easy to pop back and forth all day. The unit was spotless, spacious, and beautifully coastal-themed. The kitchen had everything needed and more for preparing meals, even a Keurig with K-cups. We also enjoyed nearby seafood spots recommended by our hosts. The cozy living area was great for movie nights, the bedrooms had soft linens, and there was an abundance of super soft towels, even beach towels. The deck off the living room with comfy furniture was ideal for reading a book or just enjoying the sunshine.The property includes an awesome outdoor area with hammocks, grills, and a pergola featuring a swing, bar seating, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit—our nightly hangout with other guests. Strong Wi-Fi and Roku TV allowing our personal login was a bonus.The beach was stunning and peaceful, perfect for swimming, shark tooth hunting, and shell collecting, with gorgeous sunsets to cap each day. Scot and Paula were fantastic hosts - quick to respond and left us a fun welcome gift. We’re already planning our return! Highly recommend this hassle-free beach gem!

The unit was perfect for the 5 of us. The first night we had my family over to sit around the fire outside. It was perfect! They had a beach wagon and beach chairs for us to use as well as all the beach towels! It's a nice short walk to the Gulf&we found a lot of sharks teeth there. It is definitely more acceptable during low tide. Everything in the unit worked and was great! We would rent this place again!

Absolutely perfect escape

This property was a dream! It had everything you would need and more. Short walk to the beach and the outdoor shower was very useful after walks on the beach. We will definitely be back to stay here. We loved the fire pit area, and the outdoor deck. We just wish we could’ve stayed longer. Scott and Paula were very quick and pleasant to message.

Clean, cozy & Great location within walking distance to beach. Everything was brand New. Scott the host was extremely fast in responseand super easy to work with. Clayton the house keeping guy (which unfortunately we didn’t meet til leaving last day) was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I’d give this place 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Will absolutely stay here again!!!

Dog Friendly, BUT!

This is a dog friendly property - which was completely accurate. However, upon arrival we learned the beach is NOT dog friendly. There is a trail at Stump Pass State Park that allows dogs. It's the only place we found for a substantial walk - although we did see some folks sneak their dog on the beach after dark at the public access about a mile north of the property. As for the bungalow - we enjoyed this unit. Short walk to the beach, surprising quiet at night, well-stocked kitchen, overall comfy space.
