Very Enjoyable

Booked this location because we wanted to check out Opal Beach. This is a cool garage apartment, plenty big for two-four people. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Hosts were very responsive. It was approximately 30 minutes from Opal Beach. Navarre Beach was closer, but we wanted something a bit less commercial. We would stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay! We had no idea it was “Blues Weekend” when we booked, but were fortunate enough to find plenty to do away from all the fuss. The accommodations were perfect for our needs. The place was clean, cool, comfortable and we appreciated the quiet. Other than perhaps a drying rack for beach towels and suits, there wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t readily available. We will definitely be sharing this listing with friends!

Quaint, charming but a small drive to get to everything

There's a 20 minute drive to get to beaches... The mattress needs replaced.... Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.
