About this house rental

**NEW RENTAL** Come for the beach. Stay for the bay. It's a little known secret that the locals love the bay more. How would you feel waking up to a wrap around water view and having coffee or cocktails on your private dock overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay, all while only 5 mintures from the beach?! We are also one of the only rentals, if not THE ONLY rental on the bay with a boat lift and access to deep water. We love it so much, we live right next door.

The Hewett Point Bayhouse is a contemporary four-bedroom bay front home featuring sweeping views of Choctawhatchee Bay and a lush front garden filled with magnificent oak trees, magnolia trees, azaleas and palms. A gated entry into a private drive finishes in an exposed-rafter carport creating a sense of arrival.

Entering the newly furnished home, a striking open floor plan and panoramic views greet you. The interior features timeless finishes, luxury plank flooring, custom lighting and four exquisite baths.

Boat lift is available for use upon request. Bring your own boat or there are nearby options available to rent a pontoon.

It’s a relaxing vacation home for families with children or a group of friends that offers easy access to the amenities of Grand Boulevard and is just moments away from the sugar-sand beaches of 30A.

Incredible house with amazing views! Very peaceful and off beaten path of the beach tourists. Laura was incredibly easy to work with. We plan to come back !!

Property was clean and beautiful. The view of the bay was so nice and calming. We enjoyed having our own little piece of oasis while on vacation. Short drive to both Santa Rosa or Miramar beach. The only downfall was looking for parking at the public beaches. Overall, we loved the location and would stay there again.

The host was very welcoming and accommodating, which made check-in and communication smooth throughout my stay. The house itself was clean, well-kept, and located on a beautiful property. It’s a peaceful setting, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing.One thing to note is that the yard is not enclosed. The neighbor’s dog visited often—he was very friendly, so this wasn’t a problem in itself. However, I brought my own dog and was very diligent about cleaning up after her, yet my nieces and nephews frequently stepped in dog waste left by other animals. This was a recurring issue and something future guests may want to be aware of.Additionally, while I am an avid walker, I found that the surrounding neighborhood does not provide a safe or pedestrian-friendly walking environment, which was disappointing.Overall, the home and host were wonderful, but the yard situation and lack of safe walking areas are factors worth considering depending on your needs.
