Beachfront, kid friendly seas, seclusion, nature
If you are tired of the chaos at the busy beaches, try this remote beach side house near Carrabelle. There aren't many houses along nearby, so you will be virtually alone way out here. Yet you are only 8-10 minutes away from all the action at Carrabelle, Eastpoint, Appalacacola or St George Island.
The house was originally built by some famous rich guy and he put all the high end finishes in, so the place is beautiful. The first floor is raised 22 ft above high tide and the second floor is 32 ft creating amazing views from every window. Lots of decks and balconies. The marble tile everywhere is gorgeous. Huge windows let in all the light. A high semi open carport underneath is tall enough to put an RV and large boat or 4 vehicles under it. It has a paver driveway.
The Main floor has a Large Master with a king bed and a twin bed. There is another bedroom on the main floor with two bunk beds (4 beds). Second floor has two bedrooms and a loft. The sea facing bedroom has a king and a daybed with trundle. The other bedroom has a king bed. The loft has a daybed and trundle. 3 bedrooms have balconies.
Sea level in winter is lower than summer. So the extreme low tides around full moon and new moon in December and January can be quite dramatic. These low tides expose an extra 100 yards of sandy tide pools around sunrise. Then later in the day, the sea takes it all back. It makes a wonderful playground. The kids will be endlessly fascinated by the tidal pools at low tide. At high tide, the water is shallow for about 200 yards. The waves break easy here.
If you are into fitness, take the Kayak out and explore the coast. I was really surprised how easy it is to paddle a Kayak. If you somehow get bored with the water, hike the trails in the enormous state park across the street. If you have never been away from the city lights, be sure to look up on a moonless night to see more stars than you ever imagined. Bald eagles fly low overhead and will come play with your kite.
You have great views of the Gulf, St George Island and Dog Island across the Sound. Dolphins swim by regularly. It is one of the best fishing areas around. Many types of birds are in the area including two eagles.
There are all types of activities: boating, fishing, and kayaking, swimming, hiking, site seeing, bird watching, etc.

Incredibile views both from the multiple decks and from the inside. Has a 180 degree view of the bay from inside and outside. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Lots of great wading on the sandbars and kayaks are provided.
amazingly clean! Only saw 1 other person the whole week on the beach. House had everything we needed. Host kept in touch. This was our 5th year staying as a family of 8 in the gulf and was by far the best. Lots of restaurants close by. This is a must stay rental.
Wonderful location it’s secluded beach was great the house was amazing and the owner is a delight to do business with he is very responsive to the renters needs and questions , this is one of the cleanest places we have stayed at . Would highly recommend staying here , and we look forward to coming back
The property was right on the bay. The fishing was fantastic in the surf right in front or the house. The house was very spacious, with an open area on the main level. The master suite was wonderful, with a very large bathroom. One big plus was the water did not have that strong sulfur that some places we have stayed at in Florida. Plenty of covered parking. We plan to stay here again when we come back next year.
Our family of teenagers, young adults, and parents thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location on the beach was the primary driver for us to pick this property. The fact that there are no big attractions, like theme parks, in the area encouraged a low key, family oriented vacation with beach games, wading in the shallow water, hunting for shells, metal detecting, pickleball in the driveway, and generally taking it easy. The owner was responsive when we reached out. We would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at the paradise. Fantastic location right at the seashore makes it worth. The outside sitting area on the porch is perfect for watching ocean for hours.. The living room & kitchen are well appointed & all the bedrooms were clean and well maintained. Steve, the owner of the property was very nice to communicate with. He was very quick & responsive to our texts. Overall, a wonderful experience at a nicely secluded place in Carrabelle!! We enjoyed our time.
This a beautiful house with an amazing view! Multiple decks to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Only issue I have is the road noise, it is louder than the ocean sometimes and the water coming from a well has little pressure.
Owner was great to talk with and helped with any issues we had.
Everything we wanted! As an outdoor loving family! It was spot on!
The veiws were amazing and we say eagles, stingrays, blue and stone crabs like crazy!! Kids were catching them with fishing nets and catching shrimp. At night we caught hamer head sharks and redbone and trout and catch fish etc. my husband and kids road the kayaks out to the dophins and got up close with them. Mullet fish jumping out the water all day everyday we were there and The dophins are none stop swimming by! The sunrise is absolutely beautiful! And the house was very clean and plenty of toys for the kids to play in the sand. We will definitely be back and telling everyone how awesome our trip was!!
The house was perfect size for our family of seven (5 teenagers). It was so nice and convenient to literally walk off the porch steps and onto the beach. The views were beautiful.
We enjoyed complete privacy the 5 days we were there. While the beach is not as pristine as Panama City / Destin, we didn’t see a single person in either direction much less have to fight for a place to put our towels or endure a parade of people walking by in string bikinis or speedos. We didn’t have to worry about constantly being on alert watching the kids among a sea of people. Perfect for us to just enjoy time with our family.
The kids loved being able to go out and kayak (provided by owner), exploring the whole area for shells and watch the hermit crabs play around. We did some surf fishing and caught a variety of different fish and was able to have fresh fish to eat for dinner. (The kids thought that was the coolest thing. )
The house itself was clean and well laid out for our family. It could use some cosmetic updating but everything worked and didn’t take away from our enjoyment of our time there.
Keep in mind, this is a more remote area. So, your not going to find Publix and multitude of restaurants in the area so plan ahead. We found a fresh seafood market to buy fresh gulf shrimp and crab legs at very good prices and a couple of good local restaurants 10 min away.
Overall a great place to stay if your looking for privacy and relaxing environment with great views
Check in was a breeze. The house was clean and welcoming with plenty of space for everyone in our party to feel comfortable. Everyone enjoyed their stay with different activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, etc. We had a fantastic week and would love to return
We had a great time for our family vacation! Our family of 14 including adults, teenagers, and kids all had a great time!! We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, sunsets, watching the hermit crabs, fishing, watching the dolphins daily, floating in the bay, and deck sitting. It was a great week where we took time to slow down to talk, laugh, and share quality time together! Love the low key location and area! God blessed us with a great week at your home!
We had a great time and really enjoyed the location. The beach was very private and the gulf was full of wildlife. The kids enjoyed swimming in the calm water and finding marine life along the beach and in the water. Great location near really nice beaches, good restaurants, a state park and now crowds. We definitely recommend this place.

Perfect spot!
Very nice house. Private beach. Couldn't ask for more.
primary bedroom television did not work. (wouldn't allow guest to use check in-check out application) security deposit hasn't been returned in over 10 days since receiving notice it was released.
Nature lovers dream! Easy family days at the calm beach and exciting nights catching crabs and fish in the tidal pools. Large living space, comfortable beds, kitchen has everything you need for a great beach stay. Tons of beach toys and chairs. Kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. Can take a long walk down the beach past other rental homes and even spot eagles from the pine trees. Thank you for sharing your beautiful waterfront home!!

Beautiful home on a lovely beach
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely rental. There was ample space for our family and the views were phenomenal. We have been visiting this stretch of the coast for several years and will definitely return. The home is conveniently located and has plenty of cooking supplies. It is always quiet and the beach is new everyday. We did have a few days inconvenienced by Alberto but the rest of the week was fabulous. My children love discovering hermit crabs and horseshoe crabs in the bay and watching the pelicans and ospreys dive for fish. This is a unique area and this home is an excellent way to experience it.
