Recently refurbished home on beautiful 3 acres with a pond - a quiet retreat while only an easy 10 minute drive to the white sandy beaches at Perdido Key. The best of country living close to all the fun - 12 minutes to National Naval Aviation Museum, 1 mile to shopping (Walmart, Target, Sonic, Starbucks, Hersey's Ice Cream and Aldi's) and views of the Blue Angels practice runs from the comfort of your backyard.

The spacious master bedroom is graciously appointed with a new memory foam queen bed, 50 tv, quiet sitting area for two, luxurious soaking tub in the en suite and peaceful views of the property.

The large corner bedroom features a chic vibe with full bed and memory foam mattresses as well as two portable twins to allow customizing sleeping arrangements for all your guests. The third cozy bedroom has a comfortable twin with memory foam mattress, armchair for reading plus two additional portable twin beds and a few toys for the littles.

In the living room, the new Ikea pull out coach with foam mattress makes extending the sleeping options easy. The corner desk area with beautiful views makes remote work much more inviting. The comfortable coaches and arm chair allow for plenty of seating for your group to curl up with the large tv and electric fireplace after a full day.

Formal dining room with large table connects to a cook's kitchen with gas cooktop and a full kitchen of appliances, cookware and dishes for your evenings at home. Ikea highchair in kitchen makes it easy to keep the littlest one close and simplifies your packing requirements.

Outside the home, you can wander the serene yard with lemon, grapefruit trees and muscadine grapes. Walk around the large pond searching for frogs and lizards, or feed the friendly Muscovy ducks, turtles and fish off the little dock. Alternatively, enjoy watching kids set out to explore the vast yard or play tetherball and lawn games, while you relax on the partially covered deck, some distance away, sipping a cool beverage. A gas grill is available for use.

Between March and October watch the Blue Angels fly right over the house while they practice the aerial acrobatics. No searching for the right site and fighting traffic. You can find their schedule on line. Don't worry, if that's not your thing, the practice sessions are short enough that you will be back to relaxing in the quiet ambiance in no time.

Between mid August and mid September, be sure to keep the outdoor lights off at night and wander outside to see if you can catch a glimpse of the green fireflies dancing and flashing in harmony.

If you work remotely while staying with us, you may appreciate the high speed internet and private work space in master bedroom or use the large comfortable desk in the living room with a spectacular view.

As for amenities, you will find a supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, trash bags, toiletries, dishwashing liquid, laundry soap, and coffee and coffee filters. If you are heading to the beach, feel free to borrow the beach towels and beach toys from the hall closet.
