The Southern Yankee

Our family of four had an amazing spring break at this house. Two teens and we all had plenty of space but not too much extra so we could spend plenty of quality time together. The beach is literal steps from the back deck. Its gorgeous and quiet. I hope we have an opportunity to stay here again. It was perfect.

We love the Southern Yankee! It’s beautiful, comfortable, and steps away from the ocean. The location is great because it’s a quiet beach but close enough to drive to PBC or Rosemary Beach. The kitchen is great for cooking, the outside deck is perfect for outdoor dining, and our kids love the bunk beds! We definitely plan to return!

It was the best beachfront rental I’ve ever rented. The location was the best…. Just 4 steps from the deck to the sand. Aaaaamazing!!! It was a safe, quiet, clean and very friendly location. Only weird thing was other people also had their dogs swimming at the same beach area as us, with no leash, just running wild and splashing water at us.

This house was perfect and exactly as described and so much more. Personally, loved the inclusion of the spices and pantry of miscellaneous things that we always end up buying on vacation then throwing away. Loved that we could use what was there and leave what we purchased. There was a big box of beach toys and towels and sunscreen, which was SO NICE to have even though we brought our own, next time we know we don't have to. The location is so nice, both in proximity to the beach (steps!) and the distance to pier park (close but not too close). We like being a little bit away from the crowd and this was perfect. Can't say enough great things about this place, we will be back for sure.

This house is a dream. The inside of the home was impeccably decorated and clean. The kitchen was very well designed for entertaining and well equipped. The living room sofa was super comfortable as were the mattresses.
The BEST part of this property is the emerald beach view and it’s silky white sand… and the sunset (omg… that sunset was surreal). There are no words to do this home and the view justice… it’s something that must be experienced. Indeed this is a wonderful place to make beautiful and happy memories.
The property manager was direct and to the point. To hassle no fuss. The check-in and check-out were seamless. We will most definitely be back as this is now our favorite spot in Florida.

I'm not one to leave reviews, and have rented 20+ properties through VRBO, but this one is extra special, and definitely my favorite property I have stayed at along the gulf. It is pristinely clean, more than spacious enough for our crew with 2 separate living areas (one was sun room we spent most of our time in), and all the attention to details were not spared. I truly felt at home at this gem, literal steps away from the water with fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, so much so I almost didn't leave a review so that it wouldn't be booked the next time we wanted to come :). You're so close to the surf you feel like you are still on the water while lounging on the patio and we used the stone fire pit every night. The hosts were so welcoming and accommodating, even letting us add an extra night in the middle of our stay. It is a one story, single home, so super private and accessible to family members that may not be able to make the trek across a long board walk or negotiate stairs, and came with a crib mattress, pack and play, baby monitor, children's beach toys/plates/etc. that my 4 year old was obsessed with. Sunsets were incredible and the outdoor space is something that you don't normally get at a rental like this. We will be back. Thanks for having us!
