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.

Honestly we were only inside for sleeping. We spent the entire time out on either the deck or on the screened in porch. My mom called the screened in part her little tree house, because it felt more like being in the trees due to how the property sits. Even though all the beautiful oaks & magnolia trees block a full view of the lake from the porches, you only have to wander over to the pavilion, fire pit or dock to take in it’s beauty. So many wonderful memories my momma & her sisters made as they reunited for the first time in several years. Thank you for opening your home to us.

The home was exactly as described. The location was secluded but I felt very safe with all the doors having dead bolts. This Lakeside home was very "homey", comfortable and very clean. I would definitely return especially when the weather was warmer so i could enjoy the screened in porch and the dock. Theresa was very accommodating.

Lakefront Cabin

My husband and I were able to totally relax for a few days at Serenity Cabin!! It is well named!The cabin was extremely comfortable and very well maintained. Lake Juniper was gorgeous! The little neighborhood is very quiet. It you want to relax and unplug gor a while, try this cabin in Defuniak Springs!!
