Cottage vacation rentals in Eglin Air Force Base

The house was absolutely beautiful steps away from the Emerald Coast extremely clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Returning to our favorite Airbnb beach cottage was just as magical as our first visit. The cozy interior, the yard feel, and easy access to the beach make it a perfect getaway. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail is just right. We love the serene atmosphere and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

Loved the place! It was peaceful and quiet literally across the street from the beautiful Bay. Was very homey, able to cook, wash clothes, had smart tv, and internet and all the appliances you would have at home. Marianne is very responsive and was always available. Even saw the neighbors gorgeous peacock 🦚 Cool little spot!

Molly's Place was perfect! It was only half a block to the public access point for the beach, and it was also very walkable to restaurants, including Destin Commons. The house was spotless and clean when we walked in, and every amenity needed was provided. The owner is always very responsive to messages. This was the second time we stayed, and I would highly recommend Molly's Place.

REALLY NICE PLACE TO GET AWAY AND SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY FOR A FEW DAYS!

My family enjoyed the stay! The place and surrounding houses was quiet. Close to stuff - 10 minutes to Beasley Park beach entrance. Traffic is bad with construction though, so going to Destin will take 30+ minutes even though it’s like 5 miles.

The host was very responsive and friendly, highly recommend. The location wasn’t far from the airport or FWB , quiet with a lot of food spots around.

One of the best places I've ever stay on my travel to this area.

Our stay at the Castaway Cottage was wonderful!! We really enjoyed the location, the golf cart for getting around with ease, the cleanliness of the home, and the very responsive host with any issues that came up. Will definitely keep "The Castaway" on our list for future stays!! Suggestions: leave more or not limit trashbags (2 very thin kitchen bags) for easier clean up, easier instructions for seahorse fountain lolol. Never could get him to sing! :D Thank you for lending us your lovely home!

Such a great find! Beautiful house and neighborhood. Very walkable to the beach. There were tons of games/puzzles at the house. Good beach gear too! Everything was great, definitely hoping to come back in the future!

This home was great! We especially loved the back porch where we sat with our morning coffee. The beach was easily accessible and within walking distance with the provided beach cart, which we used every day. Although there were plenty of stores nearby for shopping, the actual neighborhood where the house was located was very quiet and good for afternoon naps after a long day at the beach. And Destin beaches are beautiful! We’ll be back next year!

Wow, we absolutely loved staying here near Santa Rosa Beach! We stayed 6 nights and felt right at home. It's a beautiful beach house just a short walk to the ocean. The home was incredibly clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The location is peaceful and private, with the pool conveniently right across the street. Heather was a fantastic host-very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We had a wonderful vacation and will definitely book again when we're back in the area!

This beautiful home exceeded all expectations! The view of the sea is absolutely stunning — you can enjoy it from the living room, kitchen, and even while relaxing outside. Every detail of the house is thoughtfully designed, and it comes with all the amenities you could need. From the cozy, well-furnished rooms to the fully equipped kitchen, it truly felt like a home away from home. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a comfortable space for family or friends, this place is perfect. I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent stay. Great location in a lovely neighborhood. Would stay again.

This is my second time staying here and I would go back a hundred times! It’s the perfect stay for a couple. The space has everything you really need and it’s the perfect walk to the beach. It feels homey rather than feeling like you’re staying in a hotel. Deb has been great to reach at upon check in and check out both times we have stayed and she’s very responsive and friendly. My favorite Airbnb I’ve stayed at in the area, and I’ve stayed at many!

Robert and Kourtney’s place was our family’s home away from home while we were in Destin and just minutes from the Gulf! The property was exactly as described and looked just like the photos online, which is not always the case with Airbnb properties. Some nice touches were sound machines in every room to aid with sleeping and extra blankets as well. We have stayed in dozens of hotels and multiple Airbnb properties and both my wife and I agree, the king bed in the master bedroom is the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on! We spent nearly every day at the beach and were pleased to see the storage box on the patio with tons of beach supplies, including a beach wagon, boogie boards, and beach chairs. These little things made our days at the beach that much more enjoyable! Robert was very responsive to all of our messages, which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay at this Airbnb again in the future!

Elaine was a very lovely host. We loved the chair service and the house was a good size for 4 adults and 3 young kids. We also loved that there was a grill on the deck.

Our stay at the Sea Shanty was wonderful! It was perfect for two adults and a kid. We each had our own bathroom, which were well-equipped and tastefully decorated. The in-unit laundry was so nice to have. The kitchen was very well-equipped as well (but we used the host’s lovely recommendation booklet and opted to eat most meals at multiple restaurants instead!). The unit was very clean, and I’m picky about cleanliness! We also really enjoyed the location. The walk to Whale’s Tail beach access was simple (not to mention parking the car in that lot if we were feeling lazy and/or had a lot of beach stuff). The guys also really enjoyed fishing in Lake Stewart. Overall, this was a great place to stay and we would definitely stay again! My one& only suggestion would be for the outdoor furniture to have covers, as we had showers daily and couldn’t use the furniture on the uncovered patio much as a result. But not a big deal- lounging inside was a joy!

Camp Coastal was beautiful!! It’s in the perfect area, right down the road is a village of ice cream, restaurants, shopping & also the beach. John & Paty were so kind and helpful and their place was beautiful. We enjoyed it so much.

Tiffany’s place was very welcoming & exactly what we were looking for during our short stay! It was close to the beach with clear instructions. Tiffany also sent us helpful recommendations on what to do, eat, and was responsive. Her place was extremely clean and exactly as described and as seen in photos. It is walkable distance to a nice cafe, the beach. There is also a pool right on site. All stores and restaurants are walkable or in driving distance. This home sweet home feel cottage was exactly what we were looking for & couldn’t have had a better host. I will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for opening your home to us and enjoying this little piece of paradise! Destin also won our hearts!

We loved our stay here! The community is awesome, and the location couldn’t be better. The rooms were clean and well-organized, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into the setup—nothing was overlooked. The beds were super comfortable, beach towels were provided, and everything felt easy and welcoming. We have three young kids, and they were so comfortable and happy here. We’ll definitely be back!
