Waterfront holiday rentals in Mary Esther

This is a great family place to go peaceful and fun not crazy with teenagers close to action if you want to find it

Great place to stay that is reasonably priced with a restaurant/bar with great food and service attached. Less than a minute walk to beautiful white quartz beach! Will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful views out over the Gulf of America. We saw dolphins almost every morning. We found several excellent places to eat nearby. Perfect location.

Stayed at this apartment and honestly, it was perfect. The location couldn’t be better — just a straight 2-minute walk to the beach, and shops and restaurants are all super close. The apartment itself was really comfortable. One thing I appreciated the most was how great the sleeping setup was. In Florida, it’s either too hot or freezing from the AC, but here everything felt just right. The ceiling fans in every room were a great touch — made the whole place feel fresh and breezy. The design of the apartment was really nice, cozy but modern. We were a group of four, including a 4-year-old, and it felt super safe and comfortable for all of us. The pool was also great — not crowded at all, even in June. Lots of parking available and super easy access from the garage to the elevator. Would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be booking again next time!

Nice condo, a bit dated but worth the price. Beds not overall comfortable but did the job. Needed more furniture in our opinion, one three seat coach and bamboo chair in living room. Still a wonderful stay at a good price. Just was excellent!

This was such an amazing place to stay at!! I can’t wait to stay here again!

Overall, our stay was great. The majority of the property was booked all weekend. Little different staying in a location with multiple renters, much like a bed and brekkie. I enjoyed our space - we weren’t around much but you can hear very clearly your neighbors since it’s only a door that separates you. Quiet time is 10 and everyone followed that which was good. We enjoyed the dock the most. I sat for hours and watched dolphins play right in front of me. The dock needs some work with the sun getting to it but pretty typical in Florida. The grounds were kept clean and nice. Crystal was our co-host and she was amazing. Responsive and communicative - we were even able to check in a liter early. Bed on our side of the manor is pretty soft, so it was the couch for me as it’s more firm. I’d stay again but maybe in the guesthouse where it’s more quiet as that’s my preference. Parking can be tricky so be prepared. Three boat trailers while we stayed but I had my own space. Enjoyed it!

Ryan’s place was very nicely decorated and in pristine condition! It was a little tricky finding the private beach access, which is a gate through the pool area fyi!! Thank you Ryan for the quick reply! One thing to note is on the beach, emerald grand resort puts out the blue chairs and wants you down on the opposite end.

This was a great place for us - we had a wonderful time - it's centrally located and in a quiet neighborhood, on a canal where you can fish and trap crabs.... we just had so much fun sitting out and enjoying the deck and also watching the guys fish. Krystal was very gracious and was a great host. They have items you wouldn't normally have access to such as items for toddlers and children, which was nice so as to not have to travel with bulky items you will always need for a toddler. Our grandson LOVED being outside. We loved our time there, being able to visit with family at the house and in the Milton area. We definitely plan to rent again when in the area. Thank you for everything! It was a wonderful time.

This place was absolutely perfect and looked exactly like the pictures! It was clean, private, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the kayaks – the kids had a blast paddling around, and the provided life jackets and cooler were thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. The sleeping accommodations were very comfortable, and we all rested well after long days of fun on the water. Being right on the harbor was such a cool experience, especially when we spotted dolphins swimming nearby – truly unforgettable! The atmosphere was peaceful, and we really appreciated the attention to detail in the home. It felt like a little hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. We’ll definitely be back and will absolutely be leaving a five-star review. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing escape!

We had a great time at Bryan’s place. My sons had an amazing time fishing, it was quiet and peaceful. The location was an easy drive from the beach or restaurants. Bryan was helpful and very responsive. He even helped us out within 5 minutes when we locked ourselves out of the house. Awesome vacation! Would definitely come back.

We have stayed here twice. We love the location, the house and accommodations. It’s very peaceful on the bay with a great pool. Kenny is a wonderful host and makes sure everything is to your satisfaction. We can’t wait to stay there again!

Very nice place, location, we felt like we were home. Enjoyed our stay and very reasonable price.

Nancy is a great host! 💫 The view was so nice especially to watch the very common occurrence of lighting! ⛈️ Just as an FYI, we didn't realize we'd be taking the toll road to Destin so keep that in mind ($4 each way). 🤑 The bed was new, but way too soft for my husband and I... Caused us to sink into each other and unfortunately, lead to uncomfortable/minimal sleep. 🫤 Lol we also didn't realize it's a sliding barn door to the bathroom so one of us would go outside to ensure privacy 🤫 We still really enjoyed our stay and leveraged MANY of our hosts recommendations from her guide book! 🤗

Randy’s place was amazing, and he was very responsive to all of our random questions. We live locally in the area, but had family and friends coming into town for our oldest son’s graduation, and Randy allowed us to host our son’s graduation party there. It was great being able to have most of our family and friends staying at the same location as our event. There was ample parking and plenty of space for everyone. My children range in age from 18 to 3, and they all had a good time. There was something for everyone; the hammocks were great for napping, and the slide was a lot of fun too. Overall, a 10/10 experience; we have definitely been recommending it to friends who have asked if it is a good place to stay when family comes to town.

We arrived late at night and she had someone keep the porch and kitchen lights on for when we arrived. In between two great beaches and had a nice local food truck area as well. Her place was exactly like the photos and in a quiet area. Worth every penny and would definitely stay again in the future !

Thank you !!! So much I had a great stay.

We absolutely loved staying here for our couple weekend getaway! It was such a nice relaxing condo. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Being that this is my first Airbnb I’d say this was a very good experience. The location was great in the space was so pretty. The view from the room was amazing. I mostly enjoyed being able to watch the sunset and sunrise from the balcony. The included amenities really put this place over the top for me!

My spouse and I celebrated our anniversary with a week-long stay at this exceptional location. Its proximity to area attractions was ideal. We were delighted to enjoy the fireworks display directly from our room. We highly recommend this location and plan to return. Samantha's responsiveness and flexibility regarding check-in were greatly appreciated.

This bnb was prefect for our Fort Walton vacation! It was clean, comfortable, and had a GORGEOUS view! 10/10 would recommend staying here! Nothing beats having breakfast on the balcony listening to the waves crash!

We had the best stay at Aaron’s condo. It was beautiful, clean, in the best spot on the beach, and came with so many unexpected extras like beach toys, boogie boards, ice packs, back pack cooler, laundry detergent, & more! The mattress was so comfortable! We will be booking here again for sure. Thanks for a great stay!

We had an AMAZING stay at Nick and Chelsea’s. The space was so welcoming and cozy! The bed and linens were very comfortable. Each room has balcony access which made it perfect for a late night without waking anyone else in the home. The photos were definitely on point! Prior to booking and during the stay, they were very responsive. My family also took advantage of the great recommendations as well. We are already looking forward to our next family vacation and stay with this host!!

Condo was as described on listing. Closer to beach than expected. Had everything we needed for a family of 4.
