Nice stay

The cabin is still under construction, so there were some minor inconveniences, but generally the property was great. We caught lots of fish off the dock as well as at the nearby fishing pier in Keaton Beach.

Our favorite fishing getaway

We had another amazing trip at The Rustic Roost again….yes, we are repeat renters at this beautiful home. We limited out on trout and redfish each day in our kayaks. The icing on the cake is the beautiful home you get to enjoy your stay in. Ms Woods was so wonderful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be returning!

A Special Place on Earth

The rustic feel combined with modern comforts made the house a very pleasant place to stay. But the views made the stay magnificent. We were blessed to see lots of wildlife from the house, the surrounding area and kayaks launched from the dock. Watching a thunderstorm in the predawn hours over the marsh from the back porch was a highlight of the trip for me. We would definitely stay here again.

Paradise on Fish Creek

The pictures do not do justice. This immaculate home on Fish Creek offers so much… beautiful sunsets, excellent fishing, cleanliness, and beautiful wildlife experiences. Our family had such an amazing trip. The weather was cooler, so we had no problem catching fish up in the creek on our kayaks. We look forward to planning our next trip!

If you are looking to get away and have peace and quiet this is your place. This is the childhood memories I had of growing up on the coast of Taylor County. Every time I look I saw the cutest decorations in the house. Everything you needed was there. I look forward to staying many more times!!

Slice of heaven in the Big Bend

Living in a large city, and not being able to travel was starting to take a toll on me. Booking this adorable home was the best thing I could have done for our family. The men fished all day on the dock , and I could paint, read and just enjoy the sun as I laid in one of the Chaise loungers. It’s called “Rustic Roost” for a reason, you truly are not around ANY people unless you want to be. we can’t wait to go back!

Great Stay

This property has been elevated into the air. The owner says that she is working on getting a lift to take items upstairs. That will be great for us older folks. It was hard carryimng heavy items up, but it is still as beautiful as ever once you get up there. This is my fourth or fifth trip and the mosquitos were very bad, but i had my OFF with me in my tackle box and it worked on them. I have never had this happen in all the trips before.I think that its because so much water is in the swamps from the hurricane. I love this place and will be back as soon as a lift is installed.

Perfect

Cannot say enough great things about our trip. The place is 17 minutes from steinahatchee. Perfect for our group. Kitchen was well equipped. We fished every morning and evening. Scalloped ever afternoon. We did have some trouble getting our rental boat from Seahag back into the property- the channel is kinda marked but we ran aground every time. A little anxiety provoking but oh well. Would stay here again anytime

Great Getaway Fishing Trip

Had a great time time making memories with my son fishing and hanging out for a couple days at the Rustic Roost. This place was awesome. Very private, quiet, and secluded. The house was very clean, maintained, and well decorated with some old Florida charm. Thank goodness for the WiFi Internet in the house, because there is zero coverage for T-Mobile in the area. We made use of fish cleaning table and the grill/kitchen amenities to cook out catch. Easy access to the water with our 18ft boat pulled up to the floating dock which was very nice. The channel is a bit tricky at low tide, but mid-tide is easy access. I have to say I sure wish we could have used the boat ramp on the adjacent property because the ramps at Dark Island and Keaton are insane on the weekends. Besides boat ramp craziness, we had the best time and we can’t wait to come back to do some scalloping next month. Thanks Rosemary for sharing such a wonderful place!

Relaxation!

What a lovely get away, a trip into a tranquil setting surrounded by tons of wildlife. We saw river otters, storks, eagles, herons, and tons of fish. The stars are so bright in the night sky. The house offers several comfortable sitting nooks or you can sit on the dock and hear the sounds first hand. A house and the grounds are a wonderful glimpse into old Florida.

Wonderful Fishing Vacation Spot!!

While Tropical Storm Eta cut our stay short, we were still able to enjoy our stay for a couple of days. The house is comfortably furnished with beach decor and everything we needed for our stay. Fishing was great off the dock and from the shore. We also were able to book a fishing guide from one of the local marinas. Looking forward to staying again next year!!!

What makes this property unique

This property is has been in our family since the mid-1800’s offering quiet seclusion on the Gulf. There are no other properties around the area that offer Gulf access with such a peaceful, beautiful setting, yet located close to both Steinhatchee and Keaton Beach for shopping and dining out.
