About this property

Spring Special- Book and stay April 2024 for $199 per night, plus taxes & fees. Requires a 3 night minimum.

"The Fiddler Crab" is a newly renovated beachfront cottage on the private and secluded St. Teresa Beach. St. Teresa is three miles of sprawling sugar sand on one of Florida's 41 aquatic preserves. Named "The Forgotten Coast"—this is truly one of the few unspoiled remaining hidden gems of Florida's coast!

The beach and the Gulf are just steps out the door from this modern, coastal cottage which was completely renovated in 2017. The home features 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open concept living space and an outdoor shower. As you enter the home you are greeted by a large gathering space with sweeping views of the water and beach. The kitchen features quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and an island for guests to congregate. Ocean mist lower cabinets, boat cleat cabinet pulls, and ship lap walls give the room a coastal flair. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining space with a large glass table that seats up to eight people and a large buffet for serving. The sitting area has a sleeper sofa as well as two accent chairs—a great place to gaze out onto the water and watch the world go by.

Next to the living space are two bedrooms each with their own en-suite bathroom. A third full size bath is adjacent to the kitchen as well. The guest room has 2 futons that makes into 2 full beds as well as a single bunk bed so this room offers sleeping for up to five guests. The master suite offers a king size bed and reading nook. The spacious master bath has two side by side sinks, a large shower, and direct access to the outdoor shower.

Please note that the owner may require a 4 night minimum stay during holidays.

Tranquility

Throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house in the most peaceful location. House was spectacular and just steps away from the beach. You can spend hours at the beach and only see a handful of people. Fishing is amazing right from the shore no need for a boat. Will definitely be staying again!

Forgotten Coast is beautiful

We have stayed here many times, and will keep coming back. There is no place quite like St. Teresa. The house is simple and perfect for us. right on the water, you wake up to a sunrise shining right in the windows over Alligator point. The wildlife around there is a treasure for sure, and being able to sit on the deck and be a part of it puts this place head and shoulders above the rest. October is a great time to visit as well, the water is still warm, the air is crisp, and the night sky is one of the best you will find. So little light pollution makes this place even more unique.

Quiet and peaceful

This was our first time in this part of Florida. Very laid back and peaceful. The only downside is that it is pretty far from shopping and restaurants. There are things to do and a few good restaurants though, you just have to drive a way. We had the beach practically all to ourselves. One of the best experiences was with the local people. All were super nice! The house was very cute and clean. The only reason for 4 stars was that the yard wasn't mowed until our last day there.
