Really enjoyed the property, location, and surrounding area.
This was a perfect get away for the weekend... so very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The views of the water, sunsets and dolphins were spectacular! The living space was very cozy and very well stocked. Looking forward to our next visit!
We brought our standard poodle to this property to enjoy viewing the beach and reading. It more than met our needs. The cottage's backyard is Saint George Sound, part of Apalachee Bay. We enjoyed great views from the bedroom and front porch. The owners provide many amenities not listed and quickly solve any problems.
Our family stayed 2 nights at this location. It was amazing. There is private dock was perfect. Our son was able to fish off the dock and caught many species of fish. In the evenings we saw sea turtles and dolphins. It was very clean and welcoming!! Highly recommend.
Can I say AMAZING again??!?!? The property is beautiful, the owners are awesome and friendly. We loved our short stay here - 4 days - so much we are already planning our next trip back. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in a great spot right on the water in a forgotten part of Florida.
The property was very nice and comfortable. The area is pretty quiet and not touristy which is why we picked it. Carrabelle beach was right next door and allows dogs on the beach which was really nice.
The property was perfect for our long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We felt like we had the entire sound to ourselves - except for the visits from dolphins, turtles and pelicans! Even when we went out on the kayaks we didn't see another soul on the water. The house itself is perfect for a couple and was very well stocked. Would definitely return.
Clean, comfortable and quiet - and that's all we were looking for!
Had a Wonderful and Relaxing Stay, Beautiful View,Everything was as expected, hopefully can return soon…. Highly recommend, the Visiting of Local Sites was Great !!!
Clean, quiet, and convenient, I can't say enough about this property. If you are looking for a beautiful place to relax - literally feet away from the Gulf - look no further. The perfect trip.
Captain's Quarters was lovely. The pictures are a great representation of what is actually present in the house, which is always helpful. It's really two major rooms -- an open floor plan kitchen/living room and a bedroom with a bathroom -- but that's all I needed! It's right on the beach -- maybe 50 feet from the water. The beach isn't huge, but it's about a mile from Carrabelle's public beach and is very quiet and private. There aren't really any other houses between this one and the public beach, so you can walk a lot. I brought my (small) dog along, and she had a blast. (The owners were next door and very helpful with sorting out where to put puppy leavings and other trash.) I was there on a writing retreat, so spent most of my time on the screened-in porch, writing away to the sound of the waves and birds. It's right across from the lighthouse (which has a little more walking space) and a sidewalk toward Carrabelle. Very well equipped house -- they even had salt/pepper, cleaning supplies, and a good variety of kitchen goods (with decent knives!). We had a couple of good thunderstorms while there and the house felt sturdy even in high winds. My only issues were that there wasn't really anything I could use for a desk (I improvised with a TV tray and stool) and I-98 is close by, sometimes with loud cars zooming by. Overall, a really lovely stay in a little gem of a place!
AMAZING place to watch dolphins, turtles, and other wildlife! We spent so much time on the screened in porch just looking at the ocean. Everything in the house is above par and super comfy. We also enjoyed watching the wildlife from the pier at sunset. The only issues were the brackish water and the road noise. I was disappointed but came to understand that the brownish water brings in the wildlife, which we saw very little of at the St. George Beach which was a beautiful, 20 minute drive from the house. Also, seeing the solar lights on the pier from the bedroom at night, and listening to the waves was perfect. The owners were there if we needed anything or any info, but weren't obtrusive at all. Wonderful place to stay.
