Great location and property, useful businesses conveniently located nearby
We rented this VRBO to visit family in Crestview at Christmas. Property manager was extremely responsive. House was clean and recently renovated. Quiet location. A new subdivision is just being started across the street, and provides plenty of dog and human walking space. Fenced in backyard was really nice because we didn't have to worry about dog bolting.
Nice and very clean, over all a quite neighbor hood, about 1 hour drive to Destin, and hour plus to Pensacola.
There are a couple of stores in walking distance.
We didn't need anything, just bring your food.
First time renting a VRBO and we will do it again.
The home is very clean, and has everything you need for a family stay. Jean is very easily reachable, and answers any questions or concerns you have. We would definitely consider staying here again if we travel to the area.
There are quite a few neighborhood cats that visit daily, our kids loved them. Lol.
We stayed here with my family, including my mobility challenged FIL. The walk in shower was helpful for my FIL. The beds are comfy. The communication with the host is stellar. We were fleeing Hurricane Helene, and Jean let us check in earlier that day. For some reason the dog fee wasn’t charged and Jean didn’t collect it even though I did offer. Not sure what happened with the system. The listing did have a BBQ grill, which I would have used if we had lost power, but we never lost power, yay! I did clarify about the grill but she said she had to remove it for insurance reasons. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The pecan trees are gorgeous. You will not be disappointed with this property. My only suggestion is to add a cookie sheet to the well-equipped kitchen. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The title of the property, "Beach House Blue", leads you to think the beach is near - it is NOT. It is a great place to stay for events happening around Laurel Hill, in my case, it was a wedding, or for a group wanting to go hunting. Destin or Ft. Walton Beach is about an hour's drive south without traffic.
The house was clean, had everything you could need in the kitchen, has a nice screened in porch which was a great place to have coffee in the morning and watch the deer roaming around!
I would definitely stay here again if the need arose. Laurel Hill has a liquor store, gas station, a Dollar General and a Family Dollar store. Grocery stores are about 18 miles away in Crestview, so get your groceries before you check in! I had zero need to contact the owner; the door code worked just fine, we had enough towels, everything was in working order. It took three adults to figure out how to start the dishwasher, but we finally got it going! The stay was pleasant and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in tiny Laurel Hill.
The house was so awesome. Beds so comfy. Big kitchen. Washer and dryer. Nice yard and porch. We used every part of the house. We have stayed here two times and will stay there again.
Jean's home is spacious, clean from the outside in, well stocked, and comfortable for a multi family stay! We had a great time visiting, sitting on the porch swing, and enjoying morning coffee on the screened in porch! Jean is very responsive and accommodating...we will definitely keep this home in mind for future visits! Thank you, Jean!
This was my first experience with a Vrbo property, and I feel like all others won't be able to compare. This home was so clean, comfortable, colorful, spacious and inviting! Everything was ready for us when we arrived, and I was impressed with the quality of the supplies.
There is a Dollar Tree/Dollar General store just around the corner that was very convenient. We were able to walk there in 5 minutes and grab munchies and drinks.
Jean, our host, was so pleasant and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!
This country home was ideal for what we needed. We just move here from Colorado and was waiting for a week to close on our new home. This is an incredible property. Will definitely recommend to any of our friends who decide to come visit and want to experience the laid back life of North western Florida.
Very clean and lovely home. Decorated so cute. We were in town for a wedding. We ended up having 4 adults and 1 child staying, and the house was great. There were 4 comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Loved the open kitchen/living area. We didn't have a lot of time for leisure, but we did drive to the Destin area one morning, which took about an hour one way. It is on a quiet neighborhood road and there is not much else around. Only about 15-20 minutes to Crestview where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants. There is a Dollar General store right around the corner from the house - 0.40 miles - which was very convenient. It was a bit cold when we were there, but we would definitely have enjoyed the front porch swing and the screened in area if it were warmer. Would definitely stay here if in the area again. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Jean Brooks
My husband, daughter and I landed in Laurel Hill, Florida due to our love of horses. We bought a weekend getaway...................and once we got here, we never left! I own a real estate business and rent beach rentals as well as long term rentals. I have purchased and totally remodeled twelve homes in the area. I love this town and its people. I enjoy the excitement of the beach but my heart is in the country. I think you will share my enthusiasm for this small community feel and have all the upgrades and comforts of houses four times the cost closer to the beach. Come enjoy the best of both worlds and save tons of money for your fun and beach entertainment.

There are three bedrooms and one full bath on one end of the house (a king, queen and full size bedrooms) and a queen bedroom and full bath on the other end of the home.

The kitchen is fully stocked. The back yard off the screened in porch is fenced and we welcome approved pets (with a paid pet fee). Come try us out! You may just keep coming back.
