This was our first time using VRBO & we were very pleasantly surprised!The cottage is beautiful, very clean & smelled great!The pictures actually donโt do it justice!It was even nicer in person.The bed was very comfortable(which was so nice after a very long 13 hr drive to get to the property).Not too hard & not too soft (just rt)!The Kitchen was absolutely beautiful!Wish my kitchen was that nice at home actually!We loved the large private (screened in)patio just for us, w/ itโs own big tv,comfy chair/couch & table to sit outside.It was great to be able to leave the beach chairs(beach items)on the enclosed patio & not have to pull it thru the cottage avoiding tracking in sand.The pool was just outside the door of the enclosed patio & was so relaxing.We felt so lucky to have it rt there & not having to worry abt lots of ppl being in the pool(bc of wanting to social distance).The beach is not far from the cottage which was nice too!We decided to drive to โDune Allen Beachโ (not too far)to get beach access bc it didnโt require going up & down lots of stairs.Plus it was easier for social distancing there as well.We even found a flat beach area/path(far rt side of the parking lot)to pull our lil wagon w/ beach items in it.Especially when we had a cooler & โEasy upโ canopy we decided to take to the beach.The cottage is not a far driving distance to restaurants, grocery store & places for entertainment.Itโs a great location bc you can drive to Seaside, Destin & Panama City Beach(yet not be in a heavily populated area w/ lots of tourists or spring breakers).Itโs tucked away in a quiet, peaceful residential area.Yet if you want to venture out to where thereโs lots to do, you can def get there w/ in 15-30 min drive(depending on your destination).The full size/heavy duty washer/dryer in the bathroom was very convenient too!Next time I know we wonโt have to pack so much clothing(bc of how nice & clean our clothes/towels were after washing & drying them).They even provided starter items in the bathroom, kitchen & laundry room!Plus nice bath & beach towels!The hosts are so kind & thoughtful!They were there to greet us initially upon chk in(then they gave us our privacy to get settled in & enjoy)!They let us know if we needed something important they were avail, but we also had plenty of privacy(which was important to us).One day we were there it was a stormy day & we just stayed inside & relaxed. We LOVED every day! What a Blessing to stay @ this hidden gem!
