**NEW RENTAL** Come for the beach. Stay for the bay. It's a little known secret that the locals love the bay more. How would you feel waking up to a wrap around water view and having coffee or cocktails on your private dock overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay, all while only 5 mintures from the beach ! We are also one of the only rentals, if not THE ONLY rental on the bay with a boat lift and access to deep water. We love it so much, we live right next door.

The Hewett Point Bayhouse is a contemporary four-bedroom bay front home featuring sweeping views of Choctawhatchee Bay and a lush front garden filled with magnificent oak trees, magnolia trees, azaleas and palms. A gated entry into a private drive finishes in an exposed-rafter carport creating a sense of arrival.

Entering the newly furnished home, a striking open floor plan and panoramic views greet you. The interior features timeless finishes, luxury plank flooring, custom lighting and four exquisite baths.

Boat lift is available for use upon request. Bring your own boat or there are nearby options available to rent a pontoon.

It’s a relaxing vacation home for families with children or a group of friends that offers easy access to the amenities of Grand Boulevard and is just moments away from the sugar-sand beaches of 30A.

    This home was exactly what we needed for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.Thanks Laura and Wes for providing such an excellent house and such great and easy communication.

    The host was very welcoming and accommodating, which made check-in and communication smooth throughout my stay. The house itself was clean, well-kept, and located on a beautiful property. It’s a peaceful setting, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing.One thing to note is that the yard is not enclosed. The neighbor’s dog visited often—he was very friendly, so this wasn’t a problem in itself. However, I brought my own dog and was very diligent about cleaning up after her, yet my nieces and nephews frequently stepped in dog waste left by other animals. This was a recurring issue and something future guests may want to be aware of.Additionally, while I am an avid walker, I found that the surrounding neighborhood does not provide a safe or pedestrian-friendly walking environment, which was disappointing.Overall, the home and host were wonderful, but the yard situation and lack of safe walking areas are factors worth considering depending on your needs.

    My wife and I stayed for a brief getaway to rest and recharge. We were BLOWN away when we got to the home. You won't find a view setting and view that this home on the Bay. My wife and I barely wanted to leave the house, just so beautiful! The home has such a nice setup with everyone you could want or need. The home is extremely clean with many seating options inside and out. Watching the sun go down on the dock was a major highlight. Communication with the homeowner was outstanding from start to finish. Not only do we recommend, we can't wait to make it back!

    This is by far our favorite vacation rental in Destin area! Nothing beats watching dolphins from the living room and backyard deck!Laura, the host of this property, did incredible job setting up all spaces - at any point we didn’t feel like missing anything. Each room is tastefully furnished, with comfort in mind, the living space is set to enjoy fantastic water view from every angle. Grateful for an incredible experience here. Thank you Laura!

    This was one of those places you never want to leave! From check in to check out, the entire stay was absolutely amazing. Laura could not have been more helpful and accommodating to deal with. We were able to bring our boat and lift it out of the water at night. The location was close to everything we wanted to do and the sunsets were breathtaking! We were able to have our kids and grandkids with us with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Thank you Laura for being an amazing host! Many wonderful memories were made. Can’t wait to go back!!

    From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were impressed! The location is beautiful and the home is wonderful. It was very well stocked which was helpful. Swimming off the dock and canal access for our kayaks. So peaceful and gorgeous sunsets.
