Vacation Rental Description

Only minutes from the Apalachee Bay and spectacular fishing, our comfortable 2 bedroom vacation home  
in Shell Point, Florida (30 miles south of Tallahassee) is located in gated Paradise Village of  
Shell Point, which has a community swimming pool and tennis court, and a public beach within walking  
distance. Right out our back door is your own private boat dock. The boat launch is conveniently  
located one canal over. We are located at the end of the canal, so we also offer a view of the bay.   
If you are an early bird, you can enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the sunrise across the  
bay and over Live Oak Island.  Any time of the day, you can kick back on the porch or deck and watch  
the boats come and go ... or enjoy nature at it’s best, with blue herons, pelicans, white egrets,  
and dolphins.  There's nothing more relaxing the a dip in the hot tub --- and, don't worry about  
missing your favorite TV show or sporting event --- we've got a TV there, too! To catch sunset, you  
can go to Shell Point Beach and be in awe as the sky is painted with a different variation of colors  
each night.  This is truly a relaxing paradise! 
 
We offer approximately 1200 sq. ft. of living quarters, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, family room,  
fully equipped kitchen, screened-in porch with hot tub, deck with comfortable furniture, and boat  
dock with fish-cleaning table. The family room is open to the dining area and kitchen.  It is  
furnished with comfortable den furniture, 54" big-screen TV, DVD, stereo with Surround Sound, and  
dining furniture with seating for 4.  The porch and deck area are    Our accommodations will sleep 5- 
6 people comfortably, and consist of a queen size bed, 1 double bunk (double on bottom/twin on top)  
and a rollaway twin.  Perfect for a small family or a few guys who just want to fish.  
 
Shell Point is a small, quiet community located in Wakulla County, one of Florida's best-kept  
secrets and part of Florida's forgotten coast. Besides offering the best flats fishing anywhere,  
it's ideal for sightseeing and 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, and  
snakes, 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 a habitat for all kinds of Florida wildlife.  
(Bald eagles have been spotted here and at Spring Creek - so keep your eyes peeled!) 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 about a block and a half from  
Pirate Point.  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 and a good old southern  
cooking buffet at lunchtime. 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 are interested in fishing (trout, Spanish mackerel, redfish,  
tarpon, cobia, flounder, grouper, black bass ... it's saltwater fishing, so the list goes on),  
boating, or ... if you just 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.
