About this property

Reel Pelican Paradise located in Paradise village, Shellpoint Beach on the Gulf

Retreat to this beautiful 3 BR 2 BA home on a canal that leads to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Located on an oversized lot, this fully-updated home has a view down the entire canal, a large 12x26 screened-in porch. Once you step inside you will love this well-maintained, home with a fabulous layout that includes a separate office and laundry room. The large kitchen has custom cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances and shows like a model home. Tennis courts available for recreational enjoyment as well as new pickle ball courts.

Shell Point Beach was previously privately owned, but presently is maintained by the Wakulla County Department of Parks and Recreation. There is a pavilion and public restrooms. The walking and golf cart community of Shell Point is a friendly group of families who love the sleepy beach for impromptu games of volleyball, pot luck dinners, art classes, and events including the Memorial Day golf cart parade and 4th of July fireworks display – all always open to anyone. During the summer months, highly popular are both youth and adult sailing and windsurfing lessons.

The Shell Point area is a nature lover’s delight for dolphin watching and observation of other coastal wildlife. Birdwatching is especially remarkable and an active bald eagle nest is located nearby on Live Oak Island. Between Shell Point and the next-door community of Spring Creek is an entry point to a section of the Florida Trail that traverses the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and leads to two hidden natural gems: the awe-inspiring Cathedral of Palms, one of only two remaining virgin palm hammocks in Florida and Shepherd Springs, an idyllic blue oasis tucked away in the woods.

Whether you enjoy windsurfing, sailing, boating, fishing, kayaking, beachcombing, nature watching, photography, bicycling, hiking, picnicking, or just kicking back to enjoy the views, the community at Shell Point welcomes you to come experience their little nugget of quiet paradise on the northern edge of Apalachee Bay.

Great fishing trip

Beautiful and comfortable home--lovely decor with comfortable seating... we spent most of the day on the water but enjoyed restful evenings at the house. The boat slip and easy walk made loading and unloading the boat easy... the place to clean the fish by the boat slip was great! The shower head in the master bath Was so good I am looking to replace mine with it. Wish we had been able to stay longer! I'd definitely go back!

3 day fishing trip

3rd time staying here and continue to be impressed with conditiions of the home. Just days after a major storm and the home was in perfect shape. Tammy, the host, is one of the best I've associated with in my use of VRBO. Hope to do it again soon.

Cozie, clean, super convenient. Check in was easy and host was very accomodating. A few minor upgrades are recommended: bathrooms: exhaust fans were noisy and places to hang damp towels needed.

Totally loved it.

Well this was a very comfortable and homey place. We played cards outside and enjoyed the sunsets over the water. The kitchen was very nice and they had an area just for computers - all set up. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice and spacious. We walked the neighborhood, rode bike and also went to the archeological sites in St. Mary's / Wakulla. I would come back here any day and recommend to others.

Great home away from home

This is a beautiful, well appointed vacation rental perfect for families or couples. The location was a 6-8 minute walk from the beach and is located right on the canal for great boat access. The owners are very nice and responsive and really go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. Everyone in my family enjoyed the open space and the incredibly comfortable accommodations!

Awesome place!

Perfect place for a perfect weekend getaway. This was one of the best VRBOs I have stayed in. The back porch was so large and comfortable. The layout of the home is so comfortable and the rooms are huge. Master bathroom was gorgeous and good for anyone with mobility issues. Food trucks came to the beach area for lunch , which was also a plus. We wanted a comfortable - low key place and we found it! I could go on and on awesome rental!

Absolutely awesome vacation!

This property is excellent! It was the perfect getaway we needed for Christmas this year. We enjoyed the location, the tranquility, the amenities and the fire table in the screened in balcony. It felt like a real home away from home. We loved the decor too, very beachy! We will plan a summer vacation here too! Thank you Tammy for hosting us!
