My family and I loved it. It is a short walk to the beach if not the trans was always available. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Hi Sandra, I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! I hope you will come back to visit us again soon!!!

Great property, good location. The house was clean and had everything we needed.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review!

We are just back from almost 4 glorious months at Stowaway Cottage. We feel blessed to enjoy Destin through the winter months . We live in Ohio. This year we were welcomed to the beautiful aquamarine color befitting the name of our "cove" and matching the gulf! We spend the winter on the first floor and have two bedrooms and a bath upstairs for friends or family when they visit. If the icemaker balks or the disposal needs a tweak Kathy sends help immediately. ( 'Wish I had that service at home) I enjoy the pool at the end of our street. It was clean and warm all winter. Stowaway Cottage has GOOD views of the sunset right from the patio!
Hi Don and Cyn, Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review! We look forward to seeing you again next winter! Bye for now, Kathy

Awesome home and rental company
5 of 5Dyana M.The house was very roomy and open. It was very well stocked. The dishwasher was perfect every load, as well as the very nice and extremely large washer and dryer. It was a blessing to rent a place like this. Also Kathy was always there to answer all my questions which is very important to us!!
