About this property

Bay Watch 3BR/2BA Great Bay View

Very nice Bay Front home with great view of Dog Island. This property includes a hand-launch ramp for kayaks—trailers cannot be backed in for launching. This house now has new owners who have made all kinds of new updates from new deck and living room furniture to painting! Bay Watch is very well maintained with fully equipped Kitchen, linens, and nicely furnished. You will enjoy being within walking distance to downtown Carrabelle. Where you can enjoy fresh oysters and live music at Fathom's or play a game of pool at Harry's Bar. Close by is the city's public boat ramp, Marine Street Grill and LuLu's Cafe. The Carrabelle Junction is a great place for coffee, sandwiches, and ice cream! Baywatch is only minutes from the beautiful white sandy beach where you can relax and sunbathe, swim, paddleboard or watch dolphins play. If relaxing is on your agenda this is the perfect house, this home is on a quiet, secluded road that runs along the bay, watch the sunrise from the east and set in the west while relaxing on the porch with a cocktail in hand. This house is located on a protected estuary, where birds lay their eggs along the marsh. During the summer Franklin County is home to many nesting species as our diversity of habitat provides for species ranging from rails in the salt marsh to osprey and eagles in the highest trees, Carrabelle is also on the fall Monarch Butterfly Migration trail. The fishing here is great all year around, bring your catch home and cook it right on the grill provided for you.

This property has a 3 night minimum.

Relaxing stay

We had a short trip in Carrabelle and this house worked out great! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The dock next door was great option for fishing. The views were beautiful!! We enjoyed walking into town. There were not sidewalks but it’s not a busy street so we didn’t have problems.

Beautiful! Took our boat and went to dog island every day! Ordered food from one of the local restaurants one night and grilled out at the house the other. The views from the balcony are amazing. Watching the waves was so soothing! We can't wait to visit again!

Nice Place

The property is very nice but shows a little wear from the last hurricane. I would give it all stars except the couches are in need of cleaning and the TV could be HD. Great location and view. The rooms are very nice and clean. I would recommend the property.

perfectly peaceful property

If quiet peaceful relaxation is your goal, this place definitely meets the mark. The property is quite secluded and the road is minimally traveled. The view is spectacular and you feel like you’re in the gulf. Though the house needs repair here and there, it was perfectly comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed our time there greatly and would visit again.

Rest/Relax with Amazing View

We come to the area each year at spring break, and this year was beyond my expectation. This home had plenty of room for me, my wife and our three teenage boys as well as our dog. We enjoyed the closeness to the boat landing as well as the view over the bay. The sunrise was amazing coming over the bay. We will definitely stay again. The home is just as described and the owner and his wife live right down the road and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed as well as gave us some great fishing advice. Very enjoyable stay!

Beautiful bay home

This place was AMAZING! My husband is active duty military and this is the first vacation we have been able to take as a family in a while. The washer and dryer look brand new and was easy to use. We have a very rambunctious 2 year old and while we were staying he ripped the TV guide and I messaged the property people right away and got a response the next day to say to not worry about it. We saw so much wild life from jumping fish to pelicans and dolphins!!

Relaxing and beautiful!

We enjoyed our stay at Baywatch! The house is beautiful, the location is incredible! the beds were so comfortable! The views from the deck simply amazing! We saw many dolphins the first couple of days. So many shorebirds! The binoculars kindly provided by the owner, were put to use! We even saw a small alligator in the bay one day. The town of Carrabelle is just down the street, it is a quaint fishing village, and has great seafood restaurants. It makes me think of what Florida was like before it got overbuilt. so much beautiful scenery, and it was relaxing, laid back. We thoroughly enjoyed it, we will be back, for sure!

Quiet escape with beautiful view

The house was cozy. Secluded with a beautiful view of the bay. Furniture was outdated including beds, so it gave the house a musty smell. The house was very warm - per instructions could not the down AC so it was uncomfortable. Lastly, cable TV didn’t work but thankfully we were only there a couple of days. With some updating to the house, we would definitely stay here again for a family vacation.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation

We absolutely loved this property. The view is gorgeous and can by enjoyed through the large windows in the living room, the master bedroom, or the back deck. It was quiet and secluded, which was exactly what we were looking for. If you are wanting the latest and greatest in furniture and decor than you won’t find that here. We didn’t mind as that wasn’t our priority. The WiFi was spotty at best which is difficult if you need to get work done. If you are wanting to get away from that (my kids were off devices! Yay!) than it’s no big deal. We loved our stay here and would come back in a heartbeat!

Update the confirmation letter please

The property has a wonderful view of the water. The house is very close to the water. It is natural green beach with very little sand. The internet info and PASSWORD on the confirmation letter and on the refrigerator was totally wrong. Finally we found it scritch scratched on the front of the info book. The lay of the house was nice with a great TV, deck and hard beds. The furniture, dishes and many knick knacks were all mismatched. The kitchen table chairs are ugly and out of place. The coffee pot was near death, a fire hazard and burned the coffee. The bathrooms were updated nicely. Our dog loved it too.
