Vacation Rental Description

This is truly the good life!  Live like a king in our luxurious 4 
bedroom, 3 bath home located on Ochlockonee Bay, 40 miles south of 
Tallahassee off Hwy. 98.  The house has gorgeous top-of-the-line 
features (such as hardwood floors and granite kitchen counters) and 
is lavishly furnished.  But that’s not the best part!   The best part 
is our million dollar view of Ochlockonee Bay from almost every room 
in the house, along with our convenient location to great fishing, 
remarkable golfing, out-of-this-world seafood, and some gorgeous 
beaches! 

We offer approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of spacious living area. Skip 
the steps, and take a ride on our elevator to enter each level of the 
house. On our first floor, take your pick from 3 bedrooms (1 king, 1 
queen, 2 twins bunk & 1 queen sleeper sofa) and 2 bathrooms, which 
adjoin a large open porch running the entire length of the house and 
shaded by the upstairs porch.  The second floor contains the kitchen, 
dining room, living room, king-size master bedroom and master 
bathroom.  This area is adjacent to a large screened-in porch that 
also runs the length of the house.  Kick back and relax on either 
porch and watch the boats come and go ... or, step right down to the 
bay and try your luck at fishing.  You will be so comfortable and 
relaxed here, that you will never want to go home!  Our 
accommodations will sleep 8 to 10 people comfortably.  Perfect for 
any size family or group of friends! 

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, there are 
boat slips available for $10 a day at Bayside Marina, which is 1/2 
mile down the road.  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 for an experience that you won’t soon forget! 

For the golfer, St. James Bay is about 7 miles away on Hwy. 98 in 
Carrabelle.  This 18-hole championship course, with its perfectly 
manicured fairways and scenic golf paths, blends seamlessly and in 
complete harmony with acres of wetland preserve, abundant wildlife 
and unspoiled forest.  The course creates a challenge for even the 
most skillful golfer, yet it’s still a course golfers of all 
abilities seem to love.  Another nearby golf course is Wildwood 
Country Club, located about 5 miles away on Hwy. 98 in Medart.
    
And, of course, there are the beaches. The closest beach is Mashes 
Sands (about 2 miles). It offers a beautiful, small beach and a 
fishing pier. The beach is located on the bay and it’s calm shallow 
waters offer 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 or golfing and you ladies don’t ...NO 
PROBLEM! 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 right before the bridge. We are 
about a mile down the road on the left.
