About this property
Gulf Views From Front Porch!! Pet-Friendly Cottage with Kayaks & Community Pool
If you long for the "good old days" when going to Florida beaches meant time with family, boating, fishing and exploring, we have the place for you. We refer to this area as "the Forgotten Coast". The reason is, that this part of Florida remains mostly undiscovered by the masses. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath coastal cottage is the perfect getaway. Wildlife abounds and the views go forever. You will enjoy the easy lifestyle of SummerCamp Beach. We feature resort like settings that include boardwalks, large community pool, and sandy beaches.
You will feel like you are the only one here. Our lovely home provides every amenity that you would expect in a vacation rental. Our soaring ceilings offer plenty of sunshine, highlighting the coastal theme throughout the home. As owners, we live in the neighborhood, and are minutes away from helping you with any need you may have on your vacation. We can offer excellent recommendations for restaurants, places to explore, golfing, fishing, biking and hiking. We love it here, and know you will as well. We offer a personal touch and truly work to make your vacation special.
We've included 2 single sit-on top kayaks for you to use during your stay. Paddles and life jackets are included. Climb aboard your kayak and paddle your way closer to nature than you ever thought possible. Smell the salt in the air, feel the warm water on your skin as you glide through the clear, shallow protected waters of the gulf, viewing sea life hands on!
We love dogs and would be happy for yours to join us during your stay. There is a pet fee based on the length of your stay. When inquiring or booking, please let us know if you are bringing a dog and if so, what is the size and breed of the dog(s). 2 dogs maximum.
Our screened in front porch provides the perfect setting to enjoy your morning coffee, while taking in the scene. Our beaches here are rustic and natural. At certain times during the year there may be seaweed that washes ashore and may decrease the amount of beach that is exposed. Our low tides make for excellent exploring opportunities. You can search for shells, see fish and other sea life as you wade in ankle deep water. It is truly an amazing experience. If you have had enough of fast paced Florida, be sure to check us out. Life is slow here. We can't wait to show you around.

Very nice home with a great view to the beach and community pool. Host was very attentive and messaged us to make sure everything was OK throughout our trip. We are building a home in this area and this was very convenient for us based on the location.
Wonderful stay. Great house with easy access to beach and pool. Beach feels like your very own private beach. House layout was perfect for our family of 5. Kids loved the kayaks. Very clean and comfortable.
House was very welcoming, ocean view from main bedroom and front porch was beautiful. Water pressure in showers was absolutely perfect. Loved staying here. Very close to many amenities and activities. Will definitely consider for future trips.
The host was responsive to issues that were brought to her attention. We had difficulty using the TV (use of multiple controls not familiar to us) and missed some March Madness. There was not a nearby coffee shop when the furnished machine malfunctioned, but a new coffee maker was supplied the next morning. The home was very comfortable, the bed and bathrooms were nice and the proximity and ease of walking to the beach was WONDERFUL.
Very nice property. It was super comfortable and well-stocked. We loved that it was pet friendly. Our dog has a blast! The neighborhood is quiet, beach is beautiful and literally a 30 sec walk from the front door. They also have a very nice community pool. You can see and hear the ocean from the front porch, which was great for morning coffee. The sunsets are killer. My husband and daughter took the kayaks out and saw dolphins! Carabelle is a cute town and a short drive from the neighborhood. We saw the lighthouse there and visited their public beach. The LGA grocery was also nicer than we'd expected from the pics and there are some decent restaurants. We spent a few hours at the Gulf Specimen Aquarium on a cooler afternoon and our kids were able to hold various sea creatures. We also really enjoyed hiking in the parks nearby. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, this is your place.
The house was well-furnished with many amenities. Kitchen had as many gadgets as I have at home. We found the king bed to be uncomfortable. Everything was impeccably clean. Repeat stay for us. Lovely location. Would highly recommend.
Very clean, well appointed home in a friendly neighborhood with pool and beach access. Great communication with the point of contact/property manager. I loved sitting on the front porch drinking my coffee and watching the water. The beach is a short walk through the fragrant pines. We visited Carabelle lighthouse and the gulf specimen lab in Panacea. We went to the football game Saturday, I actually considered staying in and watching the game because we were enjoying our stay so much! Will definitely return.
Cute little beach house in a quiet area of the Panhandle. The beach was calm and shallow for wading, perfect for small children. The kids loved sitting on the screened porch and watching for wildlife with the binoculars.
This property was well kept and clean. It was in a nice, quiet little beach neighborhood looking out at the beach! We walked around the cute little neighborhood, ate at the Fishermans Wife in Carabelle (amazing fresh shrimp, sides and desserts) and the Tamara on the go food truck in Apalachicola! Overall great location and a great place to stay!
