About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachfront, kid friendly seas, seclusion, nature, fishing, kayak, paradise

If you are tired of the chaos at the busy beaches, try this remote beach side house near Carrabelle. There aren't many houses along nearby, so you will be virtually alone way out here. Yet you are only 8-10 minutes away from all the action at Carrabelle, Eastpoint, Appalacacola or St George Island.

The house was originally built by some famous rich guy and he put all the high end finishes in, so the place is beautiful. The first floor is raised 22 ft above high tide and the second floor is 32 ft creating amazing views from every window. Lots decks and balconies The marble tile everywhere is gorgeous. Huge windows let in all the light. A high semi open carport underneath is tall enough to put an RV and large boat or 4 vehicles under it. It has a paver driveway.

The Main floor has a Large Master with a king bed and a twin bed. There is another bedroom on the main floor with two bunk beds (4 beds). Second floor has two bedrooms and a loft. The sea facing bedroom has a king and a daybed with trundle. The other bedroom has a king bed. The loft has a sofa sleeper. 3 bedrooms have balconies.

Sea level in winter is lower than summer. So the extreme low tides around full moon and new moon in December and January can be quite dramatic. These low tides expose an extra 100 yards of sandy tide pools around sunrise. Then later in the day, the sea takes it all back. It makes a wonderful playground. The kids will be endlessly fascinated by the tidal pools at low tide. At high tide, the water is shallow for about 200 yards. The waves break easy here.

If you are into fitness, take the Kayak out and explore the coast. I was really surprised how easy it is to paddle a Kayak. If you somehow get bored with the water, hike the trails in the enormous state park across the street. If you have never been away from the city lights, be sure to look up on a moonless night to see more stars than you ever imagined. Bald eagles fly low overhead and will come play with your kite.

You have great views of the Gulf, St George Island and Dog Island across the Sound. Dolphins swim by regularly. It is one of the best fishing areas around. Many types of birds are in the area including two eagles.

There are all types of activities: boating, fishing, and kayaking, swimming, hiking, site seeing, bird watching, etc.

Great family vacation spot
Our family of teenagers, young adults, and parents thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location on the beach was the primary driver for us to pick this property. The fact that there are no big attractions, like theme parks, in the area encouraged a low key, family oriented vacation with beach games, wading in the shallow water, hunting for shells, metal detecting, pickleball in the driveway, and generally taking it easy. The owner was responsive when we reached out. We would stay again.

Beautiful house
This a beautiful house with an amazing view! Multiple decks to relax and enjoy the scenery. Only issue I have is the road noise, it is louder than the ocean sometimes and the water coming from a well has little pressure. Owner was great to talk with and helped with any issues we had.

Perfect for Family / Privacy
The house was perfect size for our family of seven (5 teenagers). It was so nice and convenient to literally walk off the porch steps and onto the beach. The views were beautiful. We enjoyed complete privacy the 5 days we were there. While the beach is not as pristine as Panama City / Destin, we didn’t see a single person in either direction much less have to fight for a place to put our towels or endure a parade of people walking by in string bikinis or speedos. We didn’t have to worry about constantly being on alert watching the kids among a sea of people. Perfect for us to just enjoy time with our family. The kids loved being able to go out and kayak (provided by owner), exploring the whole area for shells and watch the hermit crabs play around. We did some surf fishing and caught a variety of different fish and was able to have fresh fish to eat for dinner. (The kids thought that was the coolest thing. ) The house itself was clean and well laid out for our family. It could use some cosmetic updating but everything worked and didn’t take away from our enjoyment of our time there. Keep in mind, this is a more remote area. So, your not going to find Publix and multitude of restaurants in the area so plan ahead. We found a fresh seafood market to buy fresh gulf shrimp and crab legs at very good prices and a couple of good local restaurants 10 min away. Overall a great place to stay if your looking for privacy and relaxing environment with great views

The house was big enough to accommodate all of us. It was right on the beach. The A/C worked great even on the top floor.

Long Graduation Weekend
We stayed here with family for two graduations at FSU over the weekend. It was a great alternative to Tallahassee hotels. Lots of beds to accommodate different schedules of family and friends coming and going. And the location on the beach was ideal. We spent most of our time on the large deck. The house is large and grand but the towels, decor and appliances are outdated or too worn. It could be really fabulous but is underwhelming. The beach and location are what make this a four star review. We understand the importance of security but trying to get people from 4 states to sign waivers and send DL photos is over the top and a burden.

Tidal Pool Excitement- Amazing beach front home!
Nature lovers dream! Easy family days at the calm beach and exciting nights catching crabs and fish in the tidal pools. Large living space, comfortable beds, kitchen has everything you need for a great beach stay. Tons of beach toys and chairs. Kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. Can take a long walk down the beach past other rental homes and even spot eagles from the pine trees. Thank you for sharing your beautiful waterfront home!!

Beachfront and nature
We saw eagles and dolphins everyday. The beach was close to the house and the sand was soft. We enjoyed being the only ones on the beach.

Paradise by the Sea
We had to contact owner to bring housekeeping back the first day. Bed in master bedroom downstairs looked like someone had just laid in the sheets and same for bed upstairs on ocean side. The kitchen and den and laundry room had not been swept or mopped. The washing machine was out of order. We spent most of our first day addressing these issues. I will probably not stay here again.
