Email this listing to a friend
Enjoy a million dollar view from our comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath
canal front home, which overlooks the beautiful Apalachee Bay and
Gulf of Mexico. Our sunroom covers the entire back side of the
house, where you can relax and watch the boats come in at sunset ...
or serve up some fresh catch for your family ... or just enjoy the
gulf breeze from one of our easy chairs. Our large family room
(which includes the den, dining room, and kitchen) has a wall of
windows and glass doors which look out onto the sunroom and share the
same view. If you are a bird watcher, you will be entertained daily
by pelicans, white egrets, and blue herons. Also, keep your eyes
peeled for bald eagles. They hang out at the St. Marks National
Wildlife Refuge and around Spring Creek and we are right in the
middle.
We encourage folks to bring their boats. Our dock is located on a
deep-water canal that leads from the boat launch out into the bay.
The Apalachee Bay offers some of the best flats fishing anywhere.
You can catch speckled sea trout, redfish, Spanish mackerel,
flounder, cobia, and tarpon. If you venture offshore, you
can catch grouper, kingfish ... and anything else that might be
swimming around in the gulf.
We are located in Shell Point, FL, which is a very small, quiet
neighborhood. Our top two floors will be open for your use (our
ground level floor is used for our personal storage). The second
floor consists of the family room, dining area, fully equipped
kitchen, sunroom, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and laundry room. The third
floor consists of the master bedroom, bath, and a large private deck
(which offers an even more spectacular view). The family room is
furnished with a comfortable sofa and love-seat combo and a fully
equipped entertainment center, with 32" TV. Our accommodations will
sleep 6-8 people comfortably and consist of 3 queen-size beds and 2
twin beds (trundle bed). We also invite you to chill out by our
private, fenced-in swimming pool, which faces the canal.
Shell Point is located in Wakulla County, one of Florida's best-kept
secrets and part of Florida's forgotten coast. It's ideal for those
who like sightseeing or photography. Wakulla Springs State Park, one
of the largest fresh water springs in the world, is only 10 minutes
away. Wakulla Springs was the site for filming the early Tarzan
movies, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Airport 77. From the
river boat and glass bottom boat tours, you can see alligators, many
species of water fowl, fish, turtles, snakes, and deer, in and among
the crystal clear waters emerging from the depth of the springs.
They also have a swimming area, with a diving platform. The St. Marks
National Wildlife Refuge (10 minutes away), which features the St.
Marks Lighthouse, offers habitat for all kinds of Florida wildlife.
For a close-up, hands-on examination of marine life, you can check
out the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea, which is 20 minutes
away. Also, the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science is
about 30 minutes away, and offers a look at Florida's wildlife in a
natural setting.
There are other recreational interests in the immediate area. For the
golfer, Wildwood Country Club is a beautiful public golf course
located on Hwy. 98 in Medart (less than 10 minute drive). For the
tennis buff, there are 6 lighted tennis courts across the street
(from the golf course) at Wakulla High School. For the fisherman, the
fishing is as good as it gets and there is an assortment of USCG
licensed captains that will be more than willing to book a charter
and take you out into the bay for a fishing experience that you will
never forget. Shell Point is a great place for windsurfing and hosts
several Regattas each year. For the beach enthusiast, nearby beaches
include St. Joseph's Peninsula State Park and St. George's Island,
which are regularly voted into the top ten beaches in the world (an
hour to an hour and a half drive). Shell Point Beach is less than a
block from The Webb House. It is a very, very small beach located on
the bay, which means that the only waves that you will see will be
on a very windy day. It doesn't compare to the other two beaches
mentioned earlier, but it is very convenient and a great place to
kick back and enjoy the abundant wildlife in and surrounding the bay,
along with breathtaking sunsets. For those who enjoy great seafood,
Angelo's in Panacea (20 minutes away) is one of the finest renowned
seafood restaurants anywhere - located right on the water. Nearby
Spring Creek Restaurant (less than 10 minutes away) also boasts
delicious seafood, including soft shell crab, along with a casual
down-home atmosphere. The Landing in Panacea features a seafood
buffet every Fri. and Sat. night. If you decide to rent with us, we
will send you a list of all of the nearby restaraunts, along with our
personal rating on each one.
Shell Point is located between St. Marks and Panacea, and is only 30
miles south of Tallahassee (Florida's capital). Tallahassee has all
of the conveniences of a big city - malls, restaurants, museums,
parks, airport - and is well known for being the home of Florida
State University (FSU) and Florida A& M University (FAMU). If you
want to escape to a relaxing, laid back paradise; yet, be able to
venture into the city on a whim, this is the perfect location for
you.
We appologize. We do not accept renters under the age of 25.
