Where curated comfort meets peaceful coastal living.

Whether you’re visiting family, exploring the Emerald Coast, traveling for work, or just looking for a serene place to unwind—The Niceville Nook was thoughtfully designed to be your home base. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood just 20 minutes from Destin’s beaches and five minutes from Eglin AFB, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends modern comfort with meaningful detail.

3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms | Sleeps 6 Comfortably
Each room is styled for rest and relaxation. You'll find Helix mattresses, hotel-grade linens, and blackout curtains for uninterrupted sleep. The layout is perfect for families, couples, or travel companions looking to share space without sacrificing comfort.

Primary Bedroom: Queen bed, peaceful backyard view, spacious closet

Second Bedroom: Queen bed, cozy lighting, neutral tones

Third Bedroom: 2 Twin XL beds, great for kids or adults needing space of their own

Bathrooms: Full hall bath with tub, primary bath with step-in shower—both stocked with soft towels, all-natural bath products, black "makeup" washcloths, and thoughtful extras like Q-tips and cleansing wipes

Living Space That Feels Like Home

A plush navy sectional sofa that’s ideal for family movie night or catching up after a long beach day

Nespresso machine (pods provided for espresso & full-size pours)

Drip coffee maker with filters & locally roasted coffee

Electric kettle + Bigelow teas

All mugs, creamers, and extras are neatly organized in a dedicated beverage station

A Few Thoughtful Extras
What makes The Niceville Nook feel different is the little things:

A vintage record player with a curated selection of vinyl

A quiet dedicated workstation (printer included) perfect for remote work

A sign at the desk offering your first toll to Destin on us (yes—$4 waiting in $1 bills)

Outdoor Spaces Designed to Unwind

Full-size washer & dryer in the garage with Tide pods and Downy

Cleaning tools (Shark vacuum, broom, etc.) if needed

Pack ’n Play and high chair available for families traveling with little ones

Communication
I’m always nearby if you need anything, but I also respect your privacy. My goal is to offer a hands-on level of care without ever feeling invasive. If I’m ever unavailable, someone from my small local team may step in to assist.

Location, Location

The property was as described. It was new and clean in every aspect. The owner was very responsive and went above and beyond to make it a great stay by providing treats for my teenagers along with getting them a TV to play their games on. All of the extras in the home was also great from the hot tube and the chairs and umbrella for the beach. The community was very quiet and had a great strip of sidewalk for our morning walks. I will definitely be back next year.

Very impressed!! Plenty of room and very comfortable! Very clean! Host was amazing as well, went and checked the house to make sure everything was in order and left a sweet treat for us when we arrived. Answered any questions we had and responded within 30 minutes and at the most an hour. Plenty of the essentials which was fantastic - 1st time I didn’t have to go buy the basic essentials. Fire pit was great! Used the grill a few times, and hot tub was great! Definitely would recommend! Best rental experience ever!

THE PLACE TO STAY

This has been the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had. This home is beautiful, well kept and the host is absolutely amazing. Niceville is the perfect distance from any of your favorite beaches in the area, while also giving you the peace and seclusion you might want. If there is absolutely any questions on this place, fear not as you will not regret your stay here. A BIG THANK YOU to the host, our trip was amazing due to our stay as well
