Superb views of bay, Gulf of Mexico and canals. Set on pilings with a large deck mezzanine and the main living area and deck on the third level. There is an 3 stop indoor elevator available by request for those needing assistance. Our favorite parts of the day consists of viewing the various wildlife, listening to the mullet jump, watching the dolphins enter the bay to feed, enjoying the sunset from any of the deck levels or paddling the canoe/kayak out into the bay and canoe trails. You are minutes away from Shellpoint Beach, Golf, and the St. Marks Lighthouse.

Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My family and I were looking for a non-tourist out of the way quiet place to stay on the ocean. This had absolutely everything we were looking for the bedrooms were very comfortable, the living room was cozy for a full family with grandkids and dogs to hang out, but the best part was the property and location itself. It is tucked away in a bay that also overlooks the ocean. We went kayaking and we were able to see stingray, blue crabs, horseshoe, crabs, and even dolphins if you were looking for a peaceful place to enjoy the scenery and spend some quality time in a beautiful environment. This is the place. We had communication with the property owners who suggested the perfect places for us to take our grandkids. I would recommend this to anyone. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18615601-36b0-42da-8ec7-808b983d057c-1757087060835.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90c81d61-6b10-4a15-8721-314d128ac6ca-1757087058053.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tammy F.

The house was very well provided with everything we needed. My wife was especially appreciative of the elevator! I enjoyed the kayaks, and caught some nice sea trout and redfish. Peaceful and quiet, saw an alligator, and enjoyed watching the dolphins play and feed from the balcony. Perfect for two mostly retired couples to get together for a reunion. ##### Gaylon C.

Even plenty of extra linens. We greatly enjoyed kayaking all over the area as it’s nice and calm and wonderful wildlife to observe. The bald eagle catching and struggling to carry dinner to land, an osprey carrying its small dinner, a skate going under the kayak, and more. Great family time playing cornhole, basketball and board games out on the deck. We look forward to repeating a stay here again next year. ##### Amanda B.

My family enjoyed every minute of our stay. There is lots to see and do in the area. Shell Beach was a plus as was the Aquarium touch tanks in Panacea for the kids. The kayaks on the property were a big hit. There’s so much room to spread out when you may need a little quiet time. The view is awesome. The games inside and out kept us all engaged. The kitchen is well stocked for any type of cooking. The hosts were easy to communicate with. My family has stayed at a lot of homes throughout our vacations. This one rates at the top of our list. ##### Suzanne A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M.

This was one of the nicest rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. I was in awe when we arrived and felt the peacefulness of the area sink in immediately, my first thought was I wouldn’t leave the premises! The view is even nicer than the pictures show. Sitting on the large upper deck, we watched dolphins feeding, so close we could hear them blowing air out there blow holes! Then saw them swimming by two more mornings. The house is very large and well laid out. I loved that it is fully stocked! No need to drag all the household supplies along, which is always a hassle at other rentals. And all the extras included, such as bikes, kayaks, so many extras to enjoy your stay. We loved the area as well, so quiet and laid-back. Enjoyed St Mark’s, Wakulla Springs, and just relaxing on the property. Cannot wait to return, and stay longer! ##### Elizabeth M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary R. Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Beautiful, private location overlooking the bay with stingrays, mullets and dolphins. The elevator is a must! The home is in need of a deep cleaning and some recaulking would go a long way. There were a few items we wish we would have brought with us. Sleeping masks would have been great since there are no window coverings in the east bedroom or loft. There's no large baking dish or 9X13 pan. We used two different sized smaller pans for a dish and timing was a challenge. We also missed not having plastic wrap. The ice maker is fickle and didn't make ice for a couple of days so just in case, a bag in the freezer would have been nice. There are adult life preservers but none that are sized for a child. We spent a lot of time on the deck. We had a couple of really beautiful sunsets. ##### Mary R.

We spent 2 weeks in this house and hated to leave. Being right on the water with huge, fully furnished porches, overlooking the bay and a view to the gulf, was incredible. Sunset was a big event every evening. The house is nicely laid out, spacious and light and airy in design. The beds were all super comfortable. Loved the elevator. We kayaked right from the property, saw lots of mullet, dolphins , a shark , a cobia , sting rays and needle fish and blue crabs. The osprey, king fishers,and elegant egrets are plentiful and put on quite a show fishing and eating their catch. We disturbed a flock of ibis when walking along the road. The kitchen is well stocked and we had the best dinners out on the deck. Plenty of comfortable seating in the open great room. This is a home where you really felt the care and generosity of the host family. The only downside was the master shower had some leaks around the base of the fixtures (so we ended up showering in the other bathroom) and the grout really could use a good cleaning. Otherwise the house was in pristine condition. We definitely plan to return to this wonderful home! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### donna b.

Was nice to have the elevator to carry luggae up to 3rd floor. Lots of things to see in area if you like nature. ##### Janet R. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis O.

Our family had the best time on our vacation! We biked, went kayaking, played games, and relaxed on the deck. My son caught fish and crab. I would highly recommend staying in this home. We will definitely be planning another visit soon! ##### jennifer g. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve G.

The views from the top deck were everything. Beautiful sunsets and you may get to see dolphins! PLUS star watching, you will see so many stars. We loved the location, very close to great places to hike including St Marks NWR. Would highly recommend. ##### Rua M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Berrie M.

The house is very nice, well maintained, in a secluded and quiet location, and right on the water. We all enjoyed the kayaks and canoes (provided), the wonderful sunsets on the deck, and the dolphins swimming in the bay. The host communication was excellent. Highly recommended! ##### Berrie M.

It was the perfect house for us to relax. The sunsets were beautiful and the weather was perfect. We saw dolphins and herons. The house was filled with amenities for your comfort. I hope we will get to come back for another stay later this year. ##### Kim C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara W. Jun 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### R & R This is a great place to get away from the crowded areas of Florida. The scenery is beautiful. You can fish, kayak, canoe, take leisurely strolls around the area, and ride your bike without having to load everything up in the car. The dolphins provide quite a show in the late evenings as well. It was a very quiet area as well which was surprising because there are other houses close by. Would definitely go again. It would be amazing to spend a winter here. ##### Barbara W.

Dec 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving Weekend Our family spent the weekend visiting family that lives in the area. This house and location made for a great, memorable vacation. The views over the bay are spectacular, mornings spent watching the dolphins put on a show. The house was even more spacious that what the pictures portrayed. Kayaks, bikes, fishing poles made for some great outdoor activities. The kitchen (and cookware) was well appointed for our family of 8\. We will definitely book this again on our next visit to Crawfordville. ##### John P.
