Vacation Rental Description

Our comfortable 3 bedroom/2 1/2 bath townhouse is located in George’s 
Lighthouse Point on Ochlockonee Bay, 40 miles south of Tallahassee on 
Hwy. 98. Right out our back door, we have a cozy little deck, 
furnished with a table and chairs and a couple of comfy loungers 
overlooking gorgeous Ochlockonee Bay.  This is the good life that we 
all dream about!  Consider this your own private paradise and kick 
back and leave your troubles behind.  

Right across the way from our front door is the pool and tennis 
court.  It doesn't get any more convenient than that!  Also, just a 
few steps away is Angelo's Restaurant, regularly voted as one of 
the "Top 100 Restaurants in Florida".  Newly remodeled (courtesy of 
Hurricane Dennis), Angelo's boasts mouth watering seafood (and other 
dishes), with indoor seating and casual outdoor seating right over 
the water!  

We offer 1500 sq. ft. of living area, which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 
1/2 baths, den, kitchen, dining area, deck and balcony. The family 
area is furnished with comfortable den furniture (including a queen-
size sleeper sofa) and is open to the dining area and the kitchen.  
The downstairs bedroom has a double bed and has access to the half 
bath.  The other two bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs and are both 
furnished with queen-size beds.  Off of the master bedroom, is a 
balcony with an even more beautiful view of the bay.  Enjoy your 
morning coffee in privacy as you step from the bedroom out the back 
door onto the balcony.  You can spend hours viewing wildlife on the 
bay or just enjoy watching the boats go by.  Our accommodations will 
sleep 6-8 people comfortably. Perfect for an average size group or 
family.

The fishing is as good as it gets in this area.  You can fish in the 
bay, head out for deep-sea fishing, or go down the river for fresh 
water fishing.  We have it all!!!  If you bring your boat, you can 
launch it at the boat launch on Mashes Sands Rd. (about 1 mi. away) 
and you can rent a boat slip for $10 a day at Bayside Marina (about a 
mile and a half away on Surf Rd.).  If you don’t have a boat, you can 
book a fishing charter with your choice of licensed captains, who are 
ready to take you out for an experience that you won’t soon forget!

Another local attraction are the beaches.  The closest beach is  
Mashes Sands in Panacea (less than 1 mi.).  It offers a beautiful, 
small beach and a fishing pier.  The beach is located on the bay and 
is pretty shallow for a good ways out, offering safety for small 
children and a great opportunity for shelling.  Next are the gorgeous 
beaches at Alligator Point and Bald Point State Park (about 7 mi.), 
where you can enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming, fishing, 
canoeing, kayaking, hiking, bird watching and nature study.  Within a 
few minutes drive are two of the nation’s TOP TEN RATED BEACHES, St. 
George Island State Park, near Apalachicola, and St. Joseph Peninsula 
State Park, near Port St. Joe.  Both parks contain miles of 
undeveloped beaches, emerald waters and white sugar sand. 

Other nearby attractions include St. Vincent National Wildlife 
Refuge, an unspoiled barrier island just offshore from the mouth of 
the Apalachicola River in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is a haven 
for endangered and threatened species, including bald eagles, wood 
storks, sea turtles, indigo snakes, gopher tortoises and red wolves.  
It is accessible only by boat.  A favorite is Wakulla Springs State 
Park, one of the world's deepest freshwater springs, with swimming, 
nature boat rides and glass bottom boats. Wakulla Springs is known as 
the shooting location for several Tarzan movies, Creature from the 
Black Lagoon and Airport ‘77.  From the river boat and glass bottom 
boat tours, you can see alligators, many species of wading birds, 
water fowl, fish, turtles, and snakes, in and among the crystal clear 
waters emerging from the depth of the springs. Kids love diving from 
the diving platform into the refreshing spring waters, which remain a 
constant 68-70 degrees year round.  The St. Marks National Wildlife 
Refuge features the St. Marks Lighthouse, and offers a habitat for 
all kinds of Florida wildlife. (Bald eagles are often spotted here - 
so keep your eyes peeled!)

So the guys want to go fishing and you ladies don’t ...NO PROBLEM!  
While they are catching speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, grouper, 
redfish (the list goes on), you can visit historic Apalachicola.  
Once a bustling sea port, this quaint village of about 5,000 still 
boasts a large shrimp fleet, a downtown shopping area with antiques, 
boutiques and local art, and beautiful restored houses from a bygone 
era.  Once the third largest cotton port along the Gulf Coast, the 
Apalachicola/East Point area still harvests and processes 90% of the 
oysters consumed in Florida.  

Locally caught seafood is prepared in the many fine restaurants 
located in Panacea, Carrabelle, and Apalachicola. If you prefer to 
cook it yourself, fresh shrimp, oysters, and the catch of the day are 
available in the seafood houses dotted along the coast from Panacea 
to Port St. Joe. 

Driving Directions: Take US 319 south from Tallahassee.  At the 
intersection with US 98 take a right.  Follow US 98 until you come to 
the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge.  Turn left just before the bridge.  
George’s Lighthouse Point is on the right, beside Angelo’s Seafood 
Restaurant.  We are Unit 9E.  

We appologize.  We do not accept renters under the age of 25 and we 
do not allow pets.
