    We were evacuated for Milton, so huddled in place. All amenities worked as needed. We would rent again as this location is quiet and accessible.

    Mark, the host was very welcoming, responsive and very helpful prior to and during our stay.The property and amenities were as noted and everything was clearly laid out in the property information package. A great location for a quiet getaway or as a base to explore more of this part of Florida. It made for the perfect family gathering with the only issue being that our stay was too short !!Thank you for your kind hospitality !CJ

    Wonderful home to enjoy time on the water with friends and family. If Destin and Rosemary Beach just make you sad for the old days of Florida when there were living creatures all around and the night sky was magical, this is the place for you. So many birds- osprey around lots. Saw tons of dolphins. Water super clear for snorkeling and saw crabs, starfish, many kinds of fish and found enough scallops one night for tasty dinner. Comfy beds, serviceable kitchen, nice assortment of outdoor spaces so shade and sun seekers can find a good spot. Nice yard and walking space for our dog. TV and Wifi work great so no football was missed. Tricky to get through the cut to the shallow bay that leads to the canal but once you figure out the right path then water plenty deep to get boat in and out even at low tide.

    This is such agreat vacation home for families with children! Our kids had such a blast! The home was so clean, and convenient to everything-- especially the gulf! So many amenities at the house we hardly left unless we were on a boat. A 10 out of 10, by far, and will DEFINITELY be back!

    As a previous owner of 4 VRBO properties, I am hesitant to give anyone a less than positive review. I will say that my conversations with the owner were pleasant and he gave me good advice about the area. The house though is in pretty bad shape. Many doors won’t close properly, the screens and shades on the porch are in tatters, many light bulbs are out, the remains of the gas grill are held up by a bench and a board. The small dock is only accessible at high tide. There are safety concerns with nails sticking through the handrail on the front porch and loose boards on the dock. Many small irritants like a tv remote missing the volume control, no stopper in the bathroom sink, and broken shelves in the refrigerator added to the overall negative impression of the rental experience.

    Wonderful stay in this beautiful area. House was spacious and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Outside screened in porch was our favorite spot. Everything was operational. Did not miss the cable TV. Was a restful place to return to after nature walking all day.

    This older coastal home was a wonderful getaway for my husband and I. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful atmosphere. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the nature all around us. We decided this is definitely going to be a new tradition for the holidays and would love to go back to this beautiful place.

    Great location . A much needed getaway since our “week” vacay was scheduled during the week the hurricane hit our town ? anyway we had a great time, caught lots of redfish and enjoyed nearby restaurants. If you are in the area give The Trident a try. It was really good ? House well equipped, nice dock and boat ramp close by . Great host .. thank you ?

    The house and location were ideal for our large blended family. Enough room for our five kids to spread out and plenty to keep them occupied. Plus, the master suite was a nice sanctuary for me and my husband. I spent time each morning reading on the screened porch off the master - so peaceful! Definitely recommend this house!
