This home was updated in 2018 after being owned by the same family since its original construction in the mid-50s, but we retained much of its original charm including the pink and purple tiled guest bathroom with cold tub and the master bathroom with turquoise tile and walk-in shower. The large, shaded yard is about 200 feet long and creates a perfect blank canvas for designing your event such as a wedding ceremony with the picturesque bay as the backdrop. The private back yard accommodates a small band stage with plenty of room for temporary dance floor, seating, party tents, catering, etc. Event insurance may be required depending on number of invitees. Any events require prior approval. This charming bayfront home is well-suited for larger groups (maximum capacity 12) and backyard events like anniversary parties or weddings/receptions. This home boasts 1900 square feet of space at ground level, so no climbing dozens of stairs every day of your vacation! Enjoy relaxing bay views through the glass picture windows in the great room and from the old Florida style enclosed patio. This home has ice cold AC to offset the summer heat, a 55 inch big screen HD TV in the great room and a 32 inch HD TV in one of the bedrooms. Bay Dreamin' does offer Wi-Fi. Enjoy the pristine wilderness of the 'Forgotten Coast' by using Bay Dreamin' as your home base for exploring both Wakulla and Franklin County attractions (see County websites for details). Many folks come for the fishing, crabbing or scalloping (when in season) or other water sports as the bay connects to three rivers going north and to the Gulf of Mexico about one mile south. There is a public boat ramp 1/2 mile from the house as well as Rock Landing Marina in Panacea, which has a boat ramp, marina services/bait, restaurant and regular access to offshore and bay fishing guides and charter boats. Multiple great restaurants and fresh seafood stores are along Highway 98 within 5 minutes driving time. Some people come to enjoy the beaches of Mashes Sands, a mile away down the paved bike/walking trail. Alligator Point beaches and Bald Point State Park are a short drive away. Others just enjoy the quiet waterfront, feeling the bay breezes and absorbing the beautiful sunsets from the backyard shoreline or shore fishing from the backyard beach. Bay Dreamin' has a fully equipped kitchen that has all the pots, pans, utensils and dishes you will likely need. It has a 2-car carport space out front for convenient, covered unloading and entry. Linens and towels are provided, and there is plenty of furniture to accommodate larger parties for entertainment and dining. You must be at least age 25 to rent this property. Bay Dreamin' is dog-friendly with prior approval from owner. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Unit size: 1,900 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83310000/83306600/83306521/f82f6544.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin By the Bay A unique authentic log cabin by the beach with fenced yard Panacea - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=83306521&PinnedHotelID=83306521&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106380000/106377800/106377762/82e3e83b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ochlockonee Bay Waterfront Home 200 ft pier 1st floor over looking the bay Panacea - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=106377762&PinnedHotelID=106377762&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115480000/115479500/115479415/2dabeade.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal Charm – Where the Coast Feels Like Home Sopchoppy - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $351 CA $788 total includes taxes & fees Nov 30 - Dec 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=115479415&PinnedHotelID=115479415&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79670000/79662300/79662203/79dc0bc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ☼ Short Walk to Beach!
