About this property

Secluded Oasis: 500' from Private Beach, Every Amenity for Ultimate Relaxation

Enjoy a home away from home, in this cozy beach cottage, nestled in a quiet “old Florida” part of the State. Only 500ft from the beach. We have all the amenities of home right here. Stay for a few days or a few months. You’ll fall in Love with the scenery and the wildlife when you visit. Keep your eyes open for the white squirrels scurrying through the trees. While enjoying the therapeutic powers of our natural environment with nearly four miles of Gulf beach shoreline surrounded by 762 acres of woods with towering pines, twisting oaks and fan like palmettos, this area is a celebration of nature, offering an inspirational refuge to enjoy the great outdoors. No two days need ever be the same. Enjoy numerous activities or just relax and soak in the panoramic views offered by this extraordinary stretch of secluded coast. This area appeals to those who appreciate the wonder of nature and quality time spent with family and friends.

Beautiful area, relax and enjoy nature.

Very nice cottage, had everything we needed. We used the tandem kayak, a little bit of a trek to get it down to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Comfy and cozy

Wonderful home. It aided in us enjoying our time in Panacea. We were not prepared to purchase more toilet paper though but that was a quick fix. Wonderful home to rent and we hope to come back.

If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation with the gulf just steps away, this is the place.

Our stay at this beach house was nice. Located just one tier back from the beach, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and proximity to the gulf. The house itself was well maintained, with many amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. The spacious deck was a highlight, perfect for morning coffee and reading the paper.

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. We live in Orange Park Florida so it was a great weekend getaway. The only suggestions I would have is a little more direction to what docks are open to the home to access the beach. I would also upgrade the TV and cable because it's not always warm outside.

Rock the dock.

Had a great stay at this little hidden gem. Had a great porch and plenty of room. the only thing was in the pictures there is a dock and when we got there there was not a dock I am assuming the hurricane took out the dock and the pictures haven't been updated yet.

Property was great everything was great. The house came with a lot of extras including kayaks, fishing equipment and beach equipment. Nice quiet area. The local beach was ok, but St George island was 40 minutes away. And offered a better beach and places to eat.

Relaxing week away

This was our first visit to St. Teresa beach and we really enjoyed the area! The house was very nice, comfortable and what we look for in a vacation home and a short walk to the beach. The beach is quiet and the people and families we did meet were very friendly. We enjoyed Trident restaurant, the Tiki Hut on Alligator Point and EastPoint Brewery and the local fresh seafood markets! My husband did not have much luck fishing but the week away without a schedule was wonderful! Morning runs and evening walks on the beach were so peaceful! We did have a bear encounter but he was not aggressive, a first for us! We hope to come back for another visit!

A great place to spend a month!

The cottage and area is a perfect place to relax, walk on the beach, cook and read. We cooked a lot at the cottage (went to Crawfordsville and Costco in Tallahassee for groceries) because kitchen was very well equipped. We did not use the kayaks and we don't fish but all the equipment is there for that! The cottage was great for the two of us. Big tv to watch movies on Netflix, Prime, local channels and more. St Theresa is the perfect spot to explore from--we travelled East toward Panacea, ate at the Trident, Angelo's, Hamanackers. Glad we didn't miss Wakulla Springs and the beautiful historic lodge there but especially the boat tour. Golfed in Tallahassee at Southwood, a really nice course. Although it was awesome that we could walk out the door and the beach was a very short walk away sometimes we switched it up and walked on the Carrabelle beach and many times drove to St George Island to walk miles on that white quartz sand beach too. ( P.S. we liked the walk on the St Theresa beach best when it was low tide) Shawn and Katie are super hosts and very responsive if you need them!

Love St Teresa Beach and the area

House was clean. Master bed was quite comfortable. There's a nice porch that is screened and great for the morning and evening when it's not so hot. September of course is very hot. No real view of the water and walk to the beach is a bit especially if you have to go to the restroom. Owners were very responsive to any questions or concerns etc.

Shawn & Katie’s house is always welcoming.

Each time we’ve arranged to come down, their home is very comfortable. And well equipped. We have heard of other rentals that do not include baking amenities such as flour, sugar or even salt. (Not even toiletries such as extra TP or paper products. Our hosts include detergent & stain removers [dishes, laundry etc.], Like a hotel, there’s even a hair dryer! We have been pleased to see constant improvements.

We loved it! Well-stocked. My wife broke a fingernail and even found a pack of emory boards in the bathroom. I caught a LOT of fish off the dock, including sea bass, redfish, flounder. Very much fun. Wonderful place and area!
