Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M. 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f692b25d-2ae6-4083-9b7c-a1500e315129-1758054749999.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4101704d-be93-4661-aad0-46a439ad20f3-1758054749177.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth M.

Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessie S. 16 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jessie S.

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. ##### Lauren M.

Fantastic Owners Only way this house didn't meet the description, is that it was WAY bigger and more spacious than we thought. Had a great time, house was very clean. Owner had very detailed instructions and suggestions for us, which are very important due to the remote nature of the community this house is in. Very peaceful and a wonderful slice of "old Florida" ##### Joe P.

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! ##### Mindi T.

Friendly neighbor helped me navigate the bay !! Everything thing we wanted to do was available at our pace. The whole family- working X-gens w/ fresh college grads and one soon to be. We had room. Enjoyed the Florida room. Everything was Great ! ##### James H.

Do NOT rent IF: you are going for sandy beaches on blue water, like 20 something night life, like touristy areas and convenient shopping for souvenirs. We had a great time, spent an entire weekend fishing and enjoying the area (we'll retire here). Note that the house is very serviceable and a great place to hang your hat, it is not opulent or fancy but it is clean and enjoyable. GREAT VALUE! ##### Shane H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer M. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jennifer M.
