The host and his dog are super cool, but just know you will be intimately sharing the site with them. If you want privacy, this isn't it unfortunately. Great location close to Santa Rosa Beach though!

Good Tent camp, Not a good RV camp.

Choctawhatchee Bay
Mark was kind and friendly but the property was not as expected. We have stayed at many state parks and hip camps and filter results by the things we require. Basically an outlet to run our AC and small fridge in our converted mini bus. A public shower and toilet, as our bus has no facilities onboard.
I messaged Mark beforehand to let him know I have a 17' boat I wanted to bring with us.
Upon arriving the property was much smaller than expected, the pictures made it look larger with more privacy. We had to park our boat in a vacant lot that looked like someone was clearing about 200 yards from his place. Mark offered to move his SUV so we could park right off the street and in front of his boat renovation project. We had drove 6 hours to get there so we headed out to grab a bite. We returned after dark and the extension cord Mark left out was not plugged in. I found Mark and he asked if "would we need it all night". He had a small Jackery type power box and asked if this would work. I told him I had a similar one to run the Fridge but it wouldn't run the AC. There is no power at the site other than a 3500 watt generator. It also feeds power to his shop/office and a travel trailer he sleeps in which is also the public shower and bathroom facilities.
We plugged into the generator and the power went on and off several times and then shut down entirely. 90+ degree temps make AC mandatory and we had to drive back home that night and got back at 5am.
Tent camp OK, RV no bueno.

Staying on Mark's property was a delight. The location was close to the beaches and all the hustle & bustle of the city but still felt like you were camping deep in the woods. Mark was very friendly and made us feel very welcome as he worked on restoring his beautiful wooden boat. Highly recommend

You'll find quiet serenity in a beautiful undeveloped area. Mark is a knowledgeable host with miles of seafaring yarns to share. Much is changing in the region but here is a remaining sense of what it always has been - a remote and rustic outpost at the edge of paradise.

It was close to the beach and state parks. I don’t think Mark was expecting us do the listing was a little different than expected but we still had a great time and Mark was very kind and generous.
