Seashore Serenity

The property is aptly named as it sits directly across the road from the sound with St. George's Island in the distant background. It has an unobstructed view of the water with access to a fishing pier or just a place to enjoy the beautiful views. The home is the best stocked that we may have ever stayed in. It is located between two wonderful small towns which are great to visit and have excellent restaurants. There are also several wildlife refuges and state parks nearby that are fantastic excursions. I highly recommend this home. The owner and property manager are also excellent to communicate with and are driven to assure you have a marvelous visit.

Just a short Getaway!

This property is amazing! It is so clean and is the best equipped home we’ve ever stayed in 40years we’ve been visiting. The owner and property manager were very responsive. They both checked in with us while we were there to make certain we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back again. This small community is quiet and just what we were looking for. 🙂

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Fales

After renting and RVing in the area multiple times since 2007, we decided in July of 2021 to purchase a home for retirement and family vacations. Presently we spend some mid-winter time in our RV further south in Florida; we utilize this home with our friends and family mostly in the fall and spring and we spend our summers in Michigan.
Since we do not use it full-time, we feel fortunate to have found an outstanding local contact person to help us make it possible to offer short term rentals of our Eastpoint home during the mid-winter months and during the summer.

Why they chose this property

For years we have watched several subdivisions in the area as they began to be developed. We were especially attracted to this one because of the higher elevation, as it sits on a bluff overlooking St.George's Sound. The view is what sold us, with just a two-lane highway (which does not obstruct the view) between us and the gulf; it is amazing. Additional amenities including the private beach area, fishing dock and community pool sealed the deal.

What makes this property unique

We especially love this area because it is rural and because there are multiple beach access points. From Carrabelle to Saint George Island State Park, there are countless places for surf fishing, water sports, beach walking and shelling. We are not fans of traffic nor rows of high rise condos and hotels and you won't find those here. This home is in a small, family-friendly subdivision and not attractive or suitable to wild and crazy spring-breakers. The surrounding towns and Saint George Island have many unique shops and restaurants, but if we need "city" time, Tallahassee is an easy 60 mile drive.
