Perfect place for a quiet getaway. The host responded promptly when I needed to ask a question. All you need for that beach getaway is provided by the host! It was perfect!
Absolutely amazing stay!! We were looking for a quieter place with beach access and this was PERFECT! We loved the short walk to the beach, the screened in porch, and of course watching the amazing sunsets and sunrises. Our kids spent hours playing in the sand on the beach while we fished and enjoyed the views. We caught quite a few redfish from the pier and also saw lots of wildlife - manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and of course the white squirrels as mentioned in the property description! Already working on planning another trip!
Wow, we loved our time here... especially the wife... very organized, exactly as described and ready to go! Cannot recommend highly enough... you will not be disappointed.
Family of 5. Kids are 3, 5, 7. We all had a great time. We arrived a little early and requested to check in a little before 4. They accommodated our request. Immediate âwowsâ as we walked in. Loved the big screened in porch. Perfect to get away from those terribly pesky yellow flies.. sheeeeeesh! Inside was everything we needed as well. Our kids migrated to the couch or our beds, but nothing out the normal home life. Showers were fantastic. Very surprised with water pressure. It was amazing. Having the kayaks/canoe, fishing poles boogie boards, etc made it so much easier. We took the kayaks to Wakulla River. We saw some alligators and two manatee amongst other wildlife creatures. Glad we brought our wagon as I didnât see one there. The private dock was awesome. Caught quite a few fish out there. And the low tide at night was great to go walk around and see a lot more. The kids were wowed by the change from earlier in the day lol. The night sky when clear was crazy awesome. Took some amazing photos. I think if you somehow convinced your neighbors across the street to charge extra to cut through their yard would be terrific and the icing on cake. Our only gripe was walking down then coming back down the beach to about see the front door. But we understood the assignment prior to booking, so no harm done. Iâd pay an extra 25-40 a night for that convenience! First time to the Gulf and I could say we would definitely come back and recommend to anyone on the fence. Thank you guys!
We enjoyed the location of the house and the quiet neighborhood. Thanks to the helpful welcome book we had the local information needed to enjoy day adventures at the surrounding state parks and the Gulf Specimen Aquarium. Dad and son booked a fishing trip and had a blast! Everyone in the area was helpful and friendly making for a great time in the natural surroundings of Florida.
This is a really nice property with everything you need as long as you're looking for a laid-back vacation without a lot of attractions. We did see dolphins, a horseshoe crab, starfish, tons of hermit crabs, squirls, and rabbits. The walk to the beach wasn't too bad and the sand was great for sandcastles. The beach does have a few hazard spots next to the pier so don't go running into the water until after your first low tide so you can see where the logs are. Other than that, this was a great place to relax and enjoy the beach.
