Perfect bay view. My little family enjoyed the dock for fishing and dolphin watching.It’s great for a quiet getaway, the house is very family friendly, close to the beach and several local seafood restaurants.We would definitely rent the house again
Stayed 7 nights in April and enjoyed the relaxing view and the fishing from the pier very much. The home was spacious and clean and better than expected. Host was extremely responsive with a couple of things that came up to make sure our stay went smoothly. Planning to return at least once a year and hope it is still available to rent.
Just perfect. So very clean, private, well organized and safe. We enjoyed the fenced in area for the pups and the lovely long dock to enjoy sunset. All supplies were easy to find. Nothing was missing, even the beautiful soaps and shampoos in the bathrooms. The lanai was large and screened in with a doggie door and the cement/stone table and stools outside made it easy to look out over the beautiful waters. Mashes Sands small beach about a mile down the road was an easy trip and perfect for watching Gulf waters roll in. Will definitely look forward to another escape to this property.
Excellent, relaxing, spacious, pet friendly property. Molly was excellent communicating, and the amenities could not have been more thoroughly provided. Everything was just simply wonderful!
Great property for our weekend stay. We were scalloping/fishing and enjoyed to proximity to both. My son really enjoyed fishing off the long dock. Very quiet and peaceful.
Great location and the sunsets were amazing. Home was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed dining every evening on the porch overlooking the bay and can’t forget to mention the white squirrels - so entertaining.Molly is the perfect hostess with quick responses to any questions.
House was great with all the amenities you need and in a quiet location. Small town feel but everything you need to enjoy yourself and entertain kids from toddler to teenage and even the adults had fun!!
Awesome place to stay on the water! Perfect location, amazing house with everything you need and great communication with owner. We will most certainly be back!!

Thank you Pam, we would love to host you again anytime!
The perfect home for a family fishing trip. Spacious and well maintained with lots of space for everyone. Fishing from the dock was excellent and local parks and beaches are perfect for nature lovers. I expect to book again next summer.
Serene house on the bay - great views and access to nature
We loved our stay at the house. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset views of the bay each day and the lovely bike path / walking trail just outside was great with our dog. The house was clean and the host was so kind. I would definitely recommend it.

Had a great relaxing stay at this property. Boat ramp was close by and the dock was perfect for the boat and morning coffee.

About the host
Hosted by Molly Fusco
Hey Everyone! I am born and raised in Florida. I love watercolor painting, plants and hanging out with my family. I fell in love with real estate in 2015 and have been helping long/mid/short term guests with rentals for since 2022!
Why they chose this property
Panacea is a small and quiet fishing town. You will love the close proximity to the bay, ocean, beach, boat ramps, walking paths, restaurants and outdoor activities. There is a mix of long term residents and short term rentals. It's a safe place to enjoy yourself.
What makes this property unique
Nestled along the quiet shores of Ochlockonee Bay, this delightful property boasts a private boat dock with two slips for guest to use, providing an idyllic haven for nautical enthusiasts. Situated mere moments from a convenient boat ramp (Mashes Sands,) and offering ample parking space for trailers/RV/cars within the expanse of the front yard, this residence epitomizes both convenience and accessibility for marine pursuits.
Ensuring tranquility and peace of mind, the backyard of this home is enclosed by a fence, affording a secure environment where children can freely play without the concern of wandering beyond its confines. Additionally, the screened-in lanai presents a sanctuary from bothersome insects such as mosquitoes and gnats, thereby facilitating uninterrupted enjoyment of the outdoor ambiance.
In summary, this property not only offers unparalleled access to the aquatic splendor of Ochlockonee Bay, the ocean, and beach, but also provides a sanctuary of comfort and security, elevating the quintessential coastal lifestyle to new heights of enjoyment only a hour outside of Tallahassee, Florida.
