We loved it! If you are looking for a quiet vacation where you can unplug and relax, this is the place to do that. It is a quiet, natural area with lots of wildlife and a beautiful setting. There are many great places to explore in the area. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. The house had many amenities that suited all of our needs. We would definitely stay here again if we travel to this part of Florida! Thanks for sharing your home.

Very nice cottage, had everything we needed. We used the tandem kayak, a little bit of a trek to get it down to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Absolutely amazing stay!! We were looking for a quieter place with beach access and this was PERFECT! We loved the short walk to the beach, the screened in porch, and of course watching the amazing sunsets and sunrises. Our kids spent hours playing in the sand on the beach while we fished and enjoyed the views. We caught quite a few redfish from the pier and also saw lots of wildlife - manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and of course the white squirrels as mentioned in the property description! Already working on planning another trip!

If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation with the gulf just steps away, this is the place.

Our stay at this beach house was nice. Located just one tier back from the beach, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and proximity to the gulf. The house itself was well maintained, with many amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. The spacious deck was a highlight, perfect for morning coffee and reading the paper.

Family Florida Exploration

We enjoyed the location of the house and the quiet neighborhood. Thanks to the helpful welcome book we had the local information needed to enjoy day adventures at the surrounding state parks and the Gulf Specimen Aquarium. Dad and son booked a fishing trip and had a blast! Everyone in the area was helpful and friendly making for a great time in the natural surroundings of Florida.

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. We live in Orange Park Florida so it was a great weekend getaway. The only suggestions I would have is a little more direction to what docks are open to the home to access the beach. I would also upgrade the TV and cable because it's not always warm outside.

This is a really nice property with everything you need as long as you're looking for a laid-back vacation without a lot of attractions. We did see dolphins, a horseshoe crab, starfish, tons of hermit crabs, squirls, and rabbits. The walk to the beach wasn't too bad and the sand was great for sandcastles. The beach does have a few hazard spots next to the pier so don't go running into the water until after your first low tide so you can see where the logs are. Other than that, this was a great place to relax and enjoy the beach.
