A hidden secret. Escape the crowds, not the view! Bayfront oasis with boathouse.
**NEW RENTAL** Come for the beach. Stay for the bay. It's a little known secret that the locals love the bay more. How would you feel waking up to a wrap around water view and having coffee or cocktails on your private dock overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay, all while only 5 mintures from the beach?! We are also one of the only rentals, if not THE ONLY rental on the bay with a boat lift and access to deep water. We love it so much, we live right next door.
The Hewett Point Bayhouse is a contemporary four-bedroom bay front home featuring sweeping views of Choctawhatchee Bay and a lush front garden filled with magnificent oak trees, magnolia trees, azaleas and palms. A gated entry into a private drive finishes in an exposed-rafter carport creating a sense of arrival.
Entering the newly furnished home, a striking open floor plan and panoramic views greet you. The interior features timeless finishes, luxury plank flooring, custom lighting and four exquisite baths.
Boat lift is available for use upon request. Bring your own boat or there are nearby options available to rent a pontoon.
It’s a relaxing vacation home for families with children or a group of friends that offers easy access to the amenities of Grand Boulevard and is just moments away from the sugar-sand beaches of 30A.

Incredible house with amazing views! Very peaceful and off beaten path of the beach tourists. Laura was incredibly easy to work with. We plan to come back !!
Property was clean and beautiful. The view of the bay was so nice and calming. We enjoyed having our own little piece of oasis while on vacation. Short drive to both Santa Rosa or Miramar beach. The only downfall was looking for parking at the public beaches. Overall, we loved the location and would stay there again.
This place was amazing! Our entire group couldn't stop raving about the home and bay access. The home itself is beautifully decorated and well stocked with almost everything you would need. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the beautiful bay view while also swimming and fishing. Water depth to the side of the dock is around 3 feet so we enjoyed being able to get in and cool off. Communication with the host before and after our stay was excellent. We all agreed this one is a definite repeat property.
This home was exactly what we needed for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.Thanks Laura and Wes for providing such an excellent house and such great and easy communication.
This was a comfortable, wonderful home in an amazing location. Could not have asked for anything better. Laura was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had. My family had a great stay!
This is by far our favorite vacation rental in Destin area! Nothing beats watching dolphins from the living room and backyard deck!Laura, the host of this property, did incredible job setting up all spaces - at any point we didn’t feel like missing anything. Each room is tastefully furnished, with comfort in mind, the living space is set to enjoy fantastic water view from every angle. Grateful for an incredible experience here. Thank you Laura!
From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were impressed! The location is beautiful and the home is wonderful. It was very well stocked which was helpful. Swimming off the dock and canal access for our kayaks. So peaceful and gorgeous sunsets.
My wife and I stayed for a brief getaway to rest and recharge. We were BLOWN away when we got to the home. You won't find a view setting and view that this home on the Bay. My wife and I barely wanted to leave the house, just so beautiful! The home has such a nice setup with everyone you could want or need. The home is extremely clean with many seating options inside and out. Watching the sun go down on the dock was a major highlight. Communication with the homeowner was outstanding from start to finish. Not only do we recommend, we can't wait to make it back!
This was one of those places you never want to leave! From check in to check out, the entire stay was absolutely amazing. Laura could not have been more helpful and accommodating to deal with. We were able to bring our boat and lift it out of the water at night. The location was close to everything we wanted to do and the sunsets were breathtaking! We were able to have our kids and grandkids with us with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Thank you Laura for being an amazing host! Many wonderful memories were made. Can’t wait to go back!!
We had an absolutely perfect family vacation and will be back! The property and furnishings look brand new and everything was meticulously clean. Our favorite part was the waterfront view with private dock where we could watch the sunsets with dolphin and pelican friends. The gardenias were blossoming and smelled wonderful. Everything felt very serene and private, making this a wonderful escape and true vacation. They even have a little play area for the kids with books and toys! The property is close to a very nice Walmart with grocery which was incredibly convenient. The host had some great recommendations for beaches that saved us from the crazy Memorial Day crowds. Overall great hosts, property, and we will be back with our family!
Our stay at this bay front home was nothing short of magical! The house itself is a gem - beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel instantly at home.
The location is perfect! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the back deck watching the boats trolling around on the water and spent evenings relaxing on the dock watching the most perfect sunsets. We even got to see a pod of dolphins playing around!! The peacefulness of the surroundings was exactly what we needed to recharge.
Our host was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She provided great recommendations for local activities and dining options.
If you're searching for a place to relax and rejuvenate, look no further! It exceeded all our expectations and provided us with memories that we'll cherish for years to come. We can't wait to return and experience the magic of this waterfront retreat again!

The host was very welcoming and accommodating, which made check-in and communication smooth throughout my stay. The house itself was clean, well-kept, and located on a beautiful property. It’s a peaceful setting, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing.One thing to note is that the yard is not enclosed. The neighbor’s dog visited often—he was very friendly, so this wasn’t a problem in itself. However, I brought my own dog and was very diligent about cleaning up after her, yet my nieces and nephews frequently stepped in dog waste left by other animals. This was a recurring issue and something future guests may want to be aware of.Additionally, while I am an avid walker, I found that the surrounding neighborhood does not provide a safe or pedestrian-friendly walking environment, which was disappointing.Overall, the home and host were wonderful, but the yard situation and lack of safe walking areas are factors worth considering depending on your needs.
We have always wanted to stay on the Bay side of Destin, and this property fulfilled all that we thought a Bay side stay could be. First the location is really special - the property is gated and private but more importantly it has an amazing unobstructed view of the bay. With a canal on one side, the property is super private. And the neighbors, who are also the property managers and hosts, are as accommodating and kind as you could ever ask for. On top of that there is a boat house on the dock with a new lift in case you have a boat. Great outdoor seating and areas to hang out. Kayak and paddle board provided, and great fishing. And the house itself has been recently renovated and updated and has everything you need for a great stay. It’s beautiful, the pictures on the listing frankly do not do it justice. It’s way nicer and roomier than shown. And it is fully stocked with everything you need. Plenty of room too. We had a very large group with lots of little kids and the house was perfect for us. We stayed out on the water a lot and the property really handled everything we needed. Laura and Wes are awesome. We would definitely stay here again. Really can’t say enough about it. Maybe the best review is that our kids say they liked it better than their previous stay at Watercolor.
We had the most wonderful vacation at this home! We will definitely come back! First, this property is even more beautiful in real life than the pictures can show. It was very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows are great quality and super comfy. Each room is decorated beautifully. The views of the bay are spectacular! The home is very spacious. We went with my family and enjoyed the very open kitchen and living spaces, and it was so nice for everyone to have their own individual bedroom and bathroom. We had 2 young kids, who loved sleeping in their own room with a comfy pullout out, tv, and kids books. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need for cooking. They have everything to make your stay easy and enjoyable, like kids bikes, beach toys and chairs, great books, etc. The hostess was very responsive to our requests and questions and is extremely friendly and accommodating. My kids loved swimming off the dock and exploring the canals with the kayak/paddleboard. There is a lot of outdoor seating and eating spaces for soaking up that gorgeous view. The house is very close to the beaches—only a quick drive away. It’s conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, but close to a Wal-Mart for grabbing anything you need quickly. It feels extremely safe, as the entire property is private and gated. We just loved every minute of our stay and have zero complaints. This property exceeded our expectations in every way! Highly, highly recommend.
