Private Bayfront Escape near Destin and 30a.

Peaceful escape right on the bay next to 300 acres of natural woods and beach. Tucked in the back of a neighborhood 20 mins from Destin and 30 mins from 30a (depending on seasonal traffic). Property has a dock with a built in hammock and swings as well as a fire fit out back. Amazing sunrise views and plenty of natural wildlife such as dolphins and eagles. A beautiful 16ft cedar table will hold your entire family under the porch. Large property for kids and pets to run and play with a ramp down to the beach for paddle boarding and kayak access. The Boat ramp is also just 2 miles up the road and plenty of room in the driveway to store your boat. Yard games such as corn hole and badminton provided.

One of the best spots we've ever stayed! Gorgeous, private, and just wonderful for my family (and our lab!) Having a little private beach and dock was terrific and we made use of the cornhole boards, kayaks, badminton nets, etc. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Home was large and spacious for our group of 10. Loved the quiet area. Yard was large and we enjoyed the fire pit, kayaks and outdoor tables. Home does have some maintenance issues as the twin bedroom main floor bathroom has had a leaking shower head for a while, resulting in mold. the bathroom above dripped water in the ceiling down to that bathroom as well. Overall good stay.

We had the opportuntiy to stay at this incredible vrbo spot. I cannot begin to explain how perfect this was. We had a couple of families come together for new years at this house. The location on the water was exceptional. The house was perfect.

Family Vacay 2025

The location of the house is amazing. We were able to see the dolphins and an alligator in the bay. Kids enjoyed fishing and caught several fish, a crab and stingray. (They were all safely returned to the water) The house was big enough for all 13 of us and there is plenty of our door seating.

Our family had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful home in Freeport, Florida! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how spacious and perfectly decorated everything was—the house was spotless and felt so welcoming and comfortable. There were so many thoughtful amenities provided, which made it incredibly easy to settle in and relax right away.The best part had to be the location—right on the bay in the Destin area. Every morning, waking up to those gorgeous, peaceful sunrises over the water was such a treat and really set the tone for relaxing days ahead. It felt like our own private slice of paradise, with amazing views and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and unwind.We genuinely loved our stay here and made so many great memories. This house has everything you need for a getaway, and we would definitely love to come back and stay again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, memorable vacation spot!

Down by the bay

Our stay down by the bay was great! The bay was right outside of the backdoor. The dock is perfect for sitting on or fishing off of. You have your own private beach for swimming or putting in your kayak. The use of the kayaks and paddleboards was very nice. The house is great. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked. Location is great, very quiet. In between Freeport and Niceville. Great local restaurant not far, Nicks seafood. Communication with Amy was great. We had a blast!

Love this house

We absolutely loved this house and the location and the owners helped with answering all questions super fast. There was an issue with the washer being loud but not to horrible. Only thing that would have made it better was a pool and hot tub since I don’t really do ocean swimming but everyone else in our group loved the ocean definitely would come back. Also first time at the ocean and actually seeing dolphins like three times a day every day we was there. I didn’t take many pics as I was chasing my 4 year old around.
