Perfect for a few days

The location was great for what I needed & wanted. I arrived at night so some motion sensor lighting would be helpful by the steps. Otherwise, it was perfect & very peaceful.

A Private Escape that's Close to Everything

With a beautiful view overlooking the St. George sound, that changes throughout the day with the rise and fall of the tides, it is in a quiet location off a main road and the town of Carabelle is within walking distance with a few restaurants and a lovely local museum - lots of heart and very warm volunteers working there. A short ride away you can get to the state parks, accessible dog friendly beaches, or the town of Apalachicola which was bustling with tourists when we went. (If you like BBQ try FatDaddy's along the way and chat with the owners...) The unit was terrific in terms of space and everything provided that we needed in the kitchen. As with most newer shoreline residences there, two flights of exterior stairs. OK unless you have a dog who is afraid of stairs... :-D we all did fine, he grew to love the attention. Unlike other units we looked at which were wedged in to rows of other houses, at this location we had only one other home nearby with really lovely, welcoming neighbors.
