Carrabelle, Florida
Sound Escape is located on Old Florida's Forgotten Coast, and is just 15 minutes from Carrabelle Beach. This area is known for having some of the best fishing, but it is mostly a peaceful respite from this hectic world.
This property sits on the sound and has one of a kind views of the bay, as well as Bird and Dog Islands, and fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The boardwalk to the dock provides a serene nature walk with the chance to spot migratory birds and the many critters that like to call the estuary home. The dock has a picnic table as well as a fish cleaning station, complete with water and power. It is less than half a mile to Lanark Market Boat Ramp, and has a slip for your boat as well as easy access to the Gulf.
We were hit by the hurricane, so no power and water. Needed a place to get away where we could have running water, a hot shower and do laundry. Just decompress. This place was absolutely beautiful inside and out!
Perfect place to get away and fish
They call it Florida's forgotten coast for a good reason ... it was the perfect place to go and get lost for a week. While the weather and fishing weren't ideal (It was March, so you gotta grade on a curve.), everything else was perfect and exactly as described. Carrabelle has a great little seafood market and Apalachicola is only 30 minutes away for anything you can't find in town. We would totally stay here again.
We enjoyed our time at the property. My husband and son caught their limit of red fish one day from the dock and then the next evening my husband caught a huge black drum. Of course we had to get a pic of him with it before he returned it to the water. The house was very clean and quiet. I enjoyed catching up on some much needed sleep.
What a great home for spending time with the family! We had never been to this part of Florida before and came away wanting more. The open family room and dining area with wall to wall windows overlooking the Gulf was beautiful. Our kids loved spending time fishing off the dock. The motion detector lights, built in bench seating, and cleaning station kept them outside both day and night. The bedrooms were comfortable though we spent most of our time in the family room area, or outside on the porch or dock. Would definitely rent this location again!
Really enjoyed this rental. Great place to relax, unwind and recharge. Great fishing of the dock. If you are looking for that place that is not overcrowded look no further. Would definitely come back.
