About this property

Desirable St Teresa Beach - Luxury "Old Florida" Home - Every Room Water Views!

Self check-in and check-out - no hassles. Flexible check-in and check-out times can be prearranged.

Travel back in time and vacation on “The Forgotten Coast.” St. Teresa Beach is off the radar of traditional tourist destinations. Discover this private three-mile stretch of family-owned homes many passed down from generation to generation. Children play in the shallow warm waters and run house to house making new friends. The culture at St. Teresa is friendly with the feel of small-town hospitality.

Lovely, well-appointed two-bedroom, 2 ½ bath "Old Florida" home sits on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico just a one-hour drive south of Tallahassee, Florida, the state capital.

Unpack, get settled, then then dash out the door to sink your toes in the white sand beaches. Enjoy the shaded lawn under oak and pine trees. Hook up your favorite music to the outdoor speakers. Lounge in Adirondack chairs under large umbrellas overlooking the beach watching the sunset while steaks or catch of the day cook on the gas grill.
Venture out in the fishing kayak or walk a few steps to the fishing pier where trout, redfish, and flounder are popular and frequent catches. Drop the paddle board in the water and watch for dolphins and sea turtles as you explore the warm Gulf waters.

This meticulously-maintained home features first floor living space with rocking chair screen porch and al fresco dining, open kitchen/great room with fireplace, large-screen Smart TV featuring Direct TV with Sports Package, Netflix, Amazon Prime, or log into your other favorite streaming apps. Reliable wireless fiber-optic Internet throughout home.

Large enclosed carport accommodates two cars with direct entryway to home. House is not on stilts! Direct access without climbing those tall stairs.

Kitchen has all the features of home and stocked with essentials: Cooking spices and oils, dish soaps, Cascade, coffee filters, paper towels, napkins, garbage bags, aluminum foil, baggies, saran wrap. Bring your own laundry detergent, paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils if you desire.

St. James Bay public golf course is just a 10-minute drive for a day of golf and a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner.. Several local restaurants are a short drive away . Historic Apalachicola is a 50-minute drive and has quaint shops, restaurants, museums, art galleries, and local brewery. Popular St. George Island with restaurants and state park is a short drive over the bridge at East Point on your way to Apalachicola.

Tate's Hell state forest is close by for hiking, picnics, and fresh-water fishing in spring-fed lakes. The legend is often recounted with Tate becoming separated from his dogs and lost for seven days and seven nights before coming to a clearing near Carrabelle, where he lived only long enough to say to a passerby, "My name is Cebe Tate, and I just came from Hell," before collapsing.

Come experience the secret treasure of St. Teresa, make memories to last a lifetime, leave relaxed and refreshed and making plans to return again next year.

Nice relaxing week
Enjoyed a week stay. House was great, & very clean. The inside and outside Bluetooth sound systems, along with the surround sound were very nice especially with the less than perfect weather. Full bathrooms were a little small, but the outside shower was sufficient if you wanted extra space. The host was great and we could tell they take a lot of care in planning for and making sure guest have whatever they may need.

Heaven on earth
We stayed for 5 days with friends to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous views and outdoor spaces. Very well stocked. Private beach community is quiet and peaceful. Within minutes of arriving we saw a dolphin right in front of the house. From the fishing pier we saw sea turtles and dolphins every day. Walked on the beach many times and was excited to see horseshoe crabs. Fishing was great from the pier. Caught flounder, cobia, angelfish, black sea bass, catfish, ladyfish, croakers, pinfish, pompano and blue striped grunt. Everyone we met was friendly. We travel often and use VRBO and this was the most beautiful experience we’ve ever had.
