Very Relaxing Wedding Weekend

We were in town for a wedding. Our host was so quick at responding to my questions. The property was just as described. It rained most of the weekend but even that was relaxing! We enjoyed the view, sitting on the back porch drinking coffee! Cornhole came in handy and we had one venture out a couple of times in the Kayaks. Plenty of sleeping and beds were very comfortable!

Baileys

We had a great time at Baileys. It was perfect for our needs. Plenty of room for us. Pet friendly. It’s on a nice quiet bayou. We wanted a place that we could leave our boat in the water behind the house. Even though it’s very shallow we were able to get in and out with our bay boat. If I had to come up with a negative it was the amount of traffic in front of the home. Renda was great to work with. Would book again.

Family Vacation

Spent a week at this location in July 2024. The backyard and waterfront view was great! We brought our boat and boated as often as we could. The house is located on a busier street. Property manager was very responsive, we had no problems the week we rented.

Nice place to visit

This home was very clean no bugs and had 3 large bedrooms and a smaller bedroom. I liked the back porch and deck plus the view of bayou. I disliked the busy street in front of the house, no voice activated control on the main room tv and could open only the kitchen window to get fresh air and it had no screen. Tried to open doors but attracted bugs. Overall rating 4 out of 5.

Great location and great if you have your own boat.

House was clean and neighbors were friendly. Was able to keep our boat houses dock all week. Short drive to Destin and plenty of stores. Would stay again with family or guy's fishing trip. Property manager always picked up and was very helpful.
