About this property

Coastal Cottage with Amazing Gulf Views!

Looking for a place to relax and truly get away from it all? Welcome to Wakulla Beach! Located 3 miles down a dirt road, this coastal cottage is tucked deep inside the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge. The surrounding wilderness ensures clear skies, dark nights, and peaceful solitude.

Unobstructed views of the Gulf allows for quiet relaxation on the large screened porch. French doors in the living room and bedrooms ensure that all rooms enjoy the view of the bay. If star gazing and a good book sounds like an ideal quiet night, you will be right at home!

Our cottage is almost 100 years old and it is tiny! We have a clawfoot tub with a hand-held shower attachment. We have central AC/heat and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We do not have a dishwasher or cable TV. We do have a TV antenna, which gives great access to basic channels. We also have satellite internet (Starlink) that can be used on our smart tv with your favorite apps.

Our house is the epitome of the real Florida. It's quaint and rustic, with a great view! We are surrounded by the St. Marks wildlife refuge, which has 83,000 acres of conservation land. This means there's a host of animals nearby, but we're also a bit off the grid. Cell service can be spotty, there's no cable access, and we're on well water, which in our area is salty. We do provide purified drinking water for our guests.

Wakulla Beach is a short 5-10 minute walk away.

Strictly a non-smoking property.

NOTE - Our home employs a Nest doorbell for security.

This is the real Florida
This location is unbeatable. I have stayed in many places in this area and this is the best location possible. Quiet, wildlife, masses of stars. The cottage has lots of lovely art and antiques. Don't forget to appreciate those floors! It was hard to leave the porch. It's such a great place to unwind and rest. For all the Floridians; the AC works great! We liked the "salty" showers and appreciated the filtered water for drinking. Great communication from the host. If you want the real Florida, this is it.

Beautiful house and location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage over the Christmas holidays. The front porch was our primary hang out location, watching the marsh and the Gulf. After a particularly heavy rain and high tide we were able to observe egrets, herons, otters and deer on and around the property. Wakulla Beach (more of a boat launch) is a short walk away. The house itself is very well furnished with provided filtered water and comfortable bedrooms and really nice older furniture, just a relaxing place to be We cooked several meals there and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Internet and TV worked as expected for nightly movies. The road going out is a bit rough but we made it in a Honda Civic and the worst place on the road was repaired within a day, just take your time if you're not in a large truck. Danielle was very helpful when we had questions. We look forward to another visit here.

Lovely house & Setting with some drawbacks
This place would be a dream house if the water system was better and if the entrance gate area was above water in heavy rain. It is a fine house, beautifully furnished and well equipped. But the nonpotable salty water was a surprise, and wading through 2" of water to our car several times was unpleasant.

Glorious location
Beautiful place and extremely private. I was visited by numerous birds, a bear, hog and alligator. It was amazing. I will be back.
