The cottage is nestled on a partially wooded lot and is just a 4-minute walk to the gorgeous spring-fed Wakulla River, to the park, boat ramp, and community dock. A large screened porch runs the length of the cottage and a wide kitchen window overlooks the lovely private back yard. Explore the river in a comfortable Old Town canoe (with seat backs and cup holders). The canoe is available to rent from us for a reasonable rate. Or relax at the house in front of a large screen smart tv and watch movies on a rainy day. Grill out or read a book under an umbrella on the back yard deck or walk the wooded neighborhood. Enjoy the private backyard and the colorful perennial flowers and garden spot. Start your day with coffee or morning meditation from a private deck that sits just off of the kitchen, high among the trees, and overlooks a wooded walking path that winds through the woods along the side of the cottage. You will love this sweet cottage and will return home after your visit renewed and refreshed!

The host, Sarah, went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. The cottage is located in a great location close to many hotspots for birding and nature exploring. Upon arrival we were greeted with delicious homemade muffins and fresh eggs that came from the neighbor’s chickens. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It was fully stocked with all the necessities and much more. A canoe & kayaks were available for our use but unfortunately we ran out of time to use them. We very much enjoyed sitting on the porch at night and listening to the owls. We are looking forward to another stay here in the future! ##### Holly K.

The house was clean, had all we needed (including a compost bucket!!), outdoor and indoor seating for dining, comfortable bed. a fairly well stocked pantry, and a quiet neighborhood. We listened to the bird songs with every breakfast. The one issue we had, Sarah took care of it immediately, and the problem never arose again. The canoe that is available with the cottage is a bonus, as that is really the best way to tour the Wakulla (we did see a manatee!). If you are into fresh, local vegetables, Sarah can hook you up with a gardener, we enjoyed kale, collards and fresh salads during our stay. Many thanks to the great host at this VRBO, we had an enjoyable stay, and will be coming back. ##### Tammy I.

The Cottage was immaculate and equipped with everything someone could want in a vacation rental. The hostess was easy to contact and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, even to the extent of providing us great tasting goodies before we arrived and halfway through our stay. The Cottage is located in a quiet waterfront (Wakulla River) community, about 30 mins from Tallahassee, 1.5 hrs from St. George Island, and 5 mins from Wakulla Springs State Park. The fresh seafood in this area is simply the best, the beaches are not crowded and the Wakulla River is loads of fun. We used the available canoe and saw fish, turtles and manatees pass us by. Everything about this rental clearly showed that Sarah has a passion for being a hostess and taking care of others travel needs. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with our stay! ##### Steven S.
