Home owners went above and beyond expectations
Can’t express how amazing this stay was my son and his friends stayed here and the host was so wonderful and helpful in so many ways between locations to visit to making them/us feel more like the stay was at a close friend or family members home the host were so welcoming (I want to make sure I say that the communication was always prompted by us) but they genuinely wanted everyone staying to have the best time possible and I’m just so happy with this property, the host, the stay, everything:)

Great Rental in Santa Rosa with Pets!
My wife and doggies enjoyed our recent stay. The location is convenient to Grayton Beach and Highway 98. The house was extremely clean and the kitchen stocked. There was even space and bowls for the dogs who loved the fenced back yard. The screen porch and large bar were a nice surprise (wish that it was warmer to enjoy it). The owners were very quick at addressing questions and a joy to work with. Thanks for a great 2 night stay! Merry Christmas!

Fishing Vacation
My wife and I loved this property. It has a cute and homey feel to it from when we first walked in. The location was conveniently located close to two boat launches, and had plenty of room to park my boat under a carport cover. We liked how it was close to the beach roads, restaurants, and stores, but set back on one of the not so busy streets.
We would like to go back when the weather is cooler and use the fire pit in the back yard after a day on the water.

Amazing Property - Just as pictured
We had to evacuate during Hurricane Milton - this was stressful and scary and Danielle made this such a great experience - the home was ready, clean and just so peaceful and comforting. They have all the comforts of home. AC units were clean and house was neat and tidy - we would rent again and hopefully will for a planned vacation

Well-Appointed Home Near the Beach
The property was amazing: Spacious, clean, and so well-appointed! I have never been in a rental, until this one, where the owners had everything you could think of available to you. From slow cookers, coffee makers, and French presses, to beach chairs and extra towels, to dog bowls - they had it all! The home was perfect for our family group of 7, everyone was comfortable and had plenty of space. There was even a trundle bed in the master bedroom which was perfect for our toddler; there was a room with 2 twin beds, perfect for our 2 older kids, and the remaining 2 rooms had full size beds. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. And the best part, we were only minutes driving distance to a couple of beaches. One of the best experiences I've had in vacation rentals thus far.

Our stay at the Blue Bayou was excellent. The home was nice, clean and completely cozy. We enjoyed our stay and all the accommodations and amenities at the home . We especially loved the patio area. The location of the home is centrally located to the beaches and nearby shopping areas. The host was completley accessible when I had questions.

Working Vacation
Booked for a working trip 3 weeks. Stayed with two coworker's & one of their dogs then our families came to stay the last week for spring break. Overall good communication with the owner especially at booking and first week of stay. House was clean. Enjoyed the back patio area. Appreciated the option to use beach chairs, eagon and umbrella. Beds weren't all thst comfortable just too soft for our liking. We cleaned up after ourselves during our time and put everything back were it belonged. A few minor hiccups happened while we were there, like a chair bolt came out of one of the patio chairs and we used our tools to put it back on and tighten it. There was a strong sewer smell in the every once and awhile out by car port, not sure if it was from house or nect door, meant to inform the owner but forgot. Ended up being charged additional cleaning fee for a repair ? and a fee to replace a runner, not sure why. We followed the leaving instructions left by the owner, we left a day earlier than our checkout date, so only thing we didnt get to do was help start a load to wash bed sheets as we didn't want it to soil overnight in the washer. Overall we enjoyed our time there, house was nice, area was nice.
