Our modern and beachy home is inviting and fun, boasting sea life artwork that will catch your eye in every room.

Walking into the living area you'll see our custom teal couches and swivel chairs, with plenty of space for your group to enjoy kicking back at the end of a long day in the sun. The chef in your family will enjoy being a part of the day-to-day with the kitchen being open to the living space. Our kitchen comes fully equipped with a fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, cookware, silverware, standard coffee maker, Keurig, Crockpot, blender, toaster, and even children's cutlery and dinnerware! Our breakfast bar completes the kitchen space, with kitchen stools to enjoy a light meal or an after the pool snack! Our dining area is also a part of the open layout, with a desk available to those who need access to "work from home".
Right off the kitchen, find our full sized washer and dryer, as well as the entrance to the garage, which doubles as a bonus game room. Have a competitive game of ping pong on our custom built ping pong table, see who can shoot the most hoops playing the indoor basketball game, or setup the cornhole boards in the driveway for a rivaling game with the fam!

Directly off of the living and dining area is the master bedroom with a King bed, another desk to work from, and an attached en-suite bathroom. Down the hall, to the left, guests can find the bunk room. Here we've created a great space for the kids with twin over queen bunks, with a twin trundle, a Smart TV, and plenty of space for luggage storage in the closet! Across the hall from the bunk room, or straight ahead when walking down the hall, guests can find a conveniently located full bathroom. A shower and tub, toilet, and sink with counter space make it easy to get ready for the day. The next bedroom is located on the left hand side of the hallway as well. It comes complete with a Queen bed, a Smart TV, and ample closet and dresser space. The final bedroom is down the hall to the right and has a King bed, a Smart TV, full length mirror for getting ready, a large closet, dresser space.

For our tiny travelers: We provide a pack & play, high chair, and kids dishes/silverware. These items are always at the home, available for guest use. We know kiddos require bringing any & everything, so we're happy to make that load a little lighter for you! Our quaint back patio offers a comfy outdoor sofa to kick back while you and the family grill burgers on our Weber grill. Steps Away is certainly where we envision guests making many memories.

We can accommodate up to two vehicles, plus golf cart parking. Unfortunately we do not permit RV, trailer, or watercraft parking at our home.

Guest Access:
A few important things to note: -Golf cart use is not permitted for use by guests under age 25 (insurance reasons) and unfortunately no exceptions can be made. Drivers must be licensed and insured, and sign the waiver prior to use -We are pet friendly for up to 2 dogs per booking, but we do charge a $200 pet fee. Only house trained pets are permitted, and if planned to leave unattended they must be crated to avoid damage. It is required to clean up after your pet, both inside and out, or additional fees will be assessed. ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are subject to the pet fee, as they do not fall under ADA compliant service animal requirements. -Our cleaners supply a courtesy supply of toiletries for roughly the first day or so of your stay (toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, bar soap, laundry soap, dish detergent) but guests are responsible for any additional supplies needed. We do not stock spices, oils, sunscreen, food storage (ziplocs, foil etc) so please plan accordingly if you'll need these items. -We do provide beach towels for guests to use poolside or at the beach, as we ask guests to please not use any white towels in these spaces. Any other beach/pool items are not provided or guaranteed.

The Neighborhood:
You will be super close driving distance to anything you have planned or desire to do during your stay. We typically recommend taking an Uber or Lyft as they are very popular in the area and always less expensive than a normal taxi. You can definitely take a short walk to the beach, and it is almost always easier than driving around looking for parking! Grocery delivery is also available in our area from local grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Publix, WinnDixie, Walmart, and Target via InstaCart or Shipt. Sams Club is located approximately 20 minutes west, in Fort Walton Beach

Getting Around:
While we are within a brisk walk to public beach access points along Scenic Highway 98, we always recommend our guests take full advantage of the exclusive deals we're able to offer for a street legal four passenger golf cart rental during your stay. Not only is it fun to cruise around in, but it takes the dread out of lugging all your beach items along on a walk. Our community is very golf cart friendly, and it can be driven on any road 35MPH & below, giving you easy access to the beach, shopping, and restaurants without the hassle of loading everyone in the car!
