Private lakefront home w/porch & dock--fish, relax; quiet & shady

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. You can request fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge. There are several golf courses, scuba diving, horseback riding, and fishing charter opportunities -- all of which can be done as a day trip.

Other recommendations and entertainment ideas can be provided upon request. Please review house rules regarding pets. There is a $50 fee for animals brought on the property.

Lake retreat

This property offers serenity at its beat. We needed a breath. We are dealing with our flooded house feom Hurricane Milton. We have been working around the clock to do the restoration of the water that ran thru our home. This home on the water provided us the beautiful lake and dock to just sit on, dropnour toes in the water and decompress. Having been a professional cleaner for over 40 years I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the home. The host as well as their cleaning staff were beyond friendly and accommodating.

Serenity? Definitely!

We really enjoyed our time at this location. We did some fishing and also enjoyed going to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. Enclosed patio was nice even though we only had 15 minutes of rain during our stay.

Serenity

Our stay at the cabin on Lake Juniper was nothing short of magical. It was the most peaceful retreat we’ve ever taken—so serene that for days, we wouldn’t hear another human voice as we sat by the lake, completely immersed in nature. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the water was an unforgettable experience, and we have the most beautiful photos to take home, especially of the azaleas in full bloom.Springtime here was a gift, and from this perfect home base, we were able to explore so much of the surrounding area. We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at McGuires —both in Panama City Beach and Destin—each offering its own lively charm. We walked the stunning two-mile boardwalk at Turkey Creek, taking in the natural beauty, and found ourselves returning to Eden Gardens more than once, captivated by the magnificent trees that have stood for centuries.Through it all, our hosts ensured that our stay was seamless, addressing any small needs we had with kindness and care. Their hospitality made an already perfect getaway even more special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning to this slice of paradise.

Nice and quiet

Pleasant place to watch the birds and clouds go by. Hurricane Debby brushed by just to the east and gave quite a show. I caught the biggest bass of my life off the dock (6 lbs.)!

Very comfortable stay

Close enough to town. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the quiet calmness of the deck, screened in porch and walk to the water. Walmart delivery for forgotten items was spot on. Tannin’s restaurant easily accompanied 20 for dinner after my brother's memorial service. Service and food were wonderful. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

The house is completely modernized on the inside. The outside still needs work, especially the entrance. It needs a sidewalk to the house. I would definitely rent this house again in the future.

Blessed to be back

This place is our haven. We have been here four, maybe five times? This is where my kids reset after a long school year, where we make memories and just enjoy quiet, solitude and family. It’s always just perfect. Beds are comfortable, my kids sleep amazing and mom and dad have quiet moments. The views are beautiful and the location on the lake is one of a kind. Everything you could need is here, and the owners have hearts of gold. We love this home and we’ll of course be back.

Winter retreat

My 3 teens and I were 1 month snow birds in this lovely home. The internet was great for school. The host was quick to respond and let us borrow additional kitchen gadgets we needed for a longer stay. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and walking the neighborhood. We were close enough to explore the beaches and amazing hiking trails. We would choose to stay here again.
