This is a wonderful, rustic property in a great, quiet area. We reserved the home for our son’s graduation from FSU and our family had a terrific time here. There were six of us and the house was roomy and well appointed. Get outside and enjoy the beauty of old Florida. We saw an adorable, inquisitive otter swimming around in the canal. A little far from grocery stores but the host does indicate that in the description so bring what you need so you don’t have to make any extra trips to Aldi or Publix. We would stay here again for sure!

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

Excellent family getaway!
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!

How long do you have for me to share how awful this experience was at this rental? I have many pictures of how unclean this place was. I had to clean out the refrigerator and freezer, the kurig was nasty, and I when I notified the owner, his response was “I don’t understand”, “try to look past it”, the screens on the upper deck porch are torn, the front door will not open, the back door will not lock, there is mold on the A/C registers, the rail on the front steps is unstable, so we left a day early because the place is so bad. The pics on the VRBO site, are deceptive. We went back to check the reviews and as we drilled down, we found some that actually noted the same issues so apparently this owner really doesn’t care. No apology from the owner, no offer for a partial refund, just excuses and as if we were the first renters to have any issues. WOW! I hope he’s a better doctor than he is a landlord.

Great Getaway
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.

Long weekend getaway
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 😊

great house
There was way more to do in this town than we expected--if you like the outdoors. It was a nice open house with a local area to convene in at the end of the day and watch a show. Property owners nice, informative, and low key.

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.

Spacious and peaceful
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!

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.

Sadly, not a good experience
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.

Outdated Property
The property fees are outrageous. The nightly rate was fair but the fees totaled more than 50% of the rental! The home is terribly dated and not well kept. The nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away. If you are going to this area then I recommend staying on the Wakulla river instead. This property has some games - an arcade game which is very very slow - no one will enjoy playing on it when their smart phone is handy. The game room is so tiny that you cannot really play ping pong or foosball. The airhockey table does not have enough air to keep the puck up. The grill is unusable. Three of the beds are uncomfortable, the room with two twin beds is too tiny for 2 people and there is no way to charge your phone in that room. Overall - it was great in the 80s but now it is simply overpriced and inconvenient.

Nice location - Unclean home
The location of this property has a lot going for it. The house overlooks a canal where pelicans and various water fowl are a daily treat to watch. It is pretty quiet and located in a semi-remote area. We were able to put our kayaks in the canal from the back yard and paddle out to the gulf.
The spacious house, an older dated home that had suffered hurricane damage, has potential, but was not ready to be rented. It needs a lot of work and basic cleanliness was a major area of neglect.
When we arrived we discovered mouse droppings in almost every kitchen drawer and cabinet. We spent several hours cleaning and sanitizing them and washing everything in them. (Throughout the week mouse droppings were discovered in other areas of the home also.) The floors needed swept and mopped. The blind in the kitchen was splattered and soiled. Some of the furniture had significant grimy areas. Several days into our stay, an odor from the sewer drain behind the washing machine began permeating the house and continued throughout the remainder of our time. (Opening the doors to air out the house helped.) There was mold growing in a bathroom cabinet due to an active leak from the shutoff valve. (The leak had a pan under it, so someone knew about it.)
There are also many construction “projects” around this house that were started but have yet to be completed, as well as a few safety issues that need addressed including loose wires hanging down into the toaster and an outlet sticking out from the kitchen wall. Although it is evident that significant work has been done inside and outside the home to repair the hurricane damage, the inside is still unclean and unfinished.

Fun for the family
This property is great for a family! The game room was fun for our kids ages 5-9 and adults too. We enjoyed the fire pit and fishing off the dock. We caught a few whiting. It is great because you don't feel obligated to keep everything clean or perfect. It feels lived in which is great for big families.

Great family house
We enjoyed the large space with lots of room so the family could sit and talk or play games. It gave us plenty of space to be together but also break apart into smaller groups of people out on a screened in porch or game room.
The listing for the Oyster Bay house is accurate. I didn't notice the spiral staircase leading to the master bedroom on the second floor in the pictures or listing and that was a bit problematic with all the stuff an 8 month old requires to get carried up there. It was the largest bedroom and the only one big enough for the pack and play to fit in.
