About this property
Private Beach! Cozy Guest Cottage along Florida's Forgotten Coast.
Enjoy the sounds of the waves along our private beach. Nature surrounds this small piece of paradise. We are located 5 miles west of the city of Carrabelle along Florida's Forgotten Coast.
Our guest cottage offers a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms with one King, and one queen bed. There is an open den with twin bunkbeds. The cottage sleeps 6, 4 adults and 2 children. There is one bathroom. There is an outdoor shower and bathroom accessible for our guests. Wifi is available.
From the cottage you have a view of St. George Sound. You also have access to a private beach on the sound. There are chairs, an umbrella, canoe and paddleboard on the beach for guests.
There is also great fishing right off the beach. We have caught trout, flounder and redfish.
Across the street is Tate's Hell State Forest Trailhead. You are just minutes away from St. George Island and Apalachicola. Please note this is our guest cottage and my wife and I do reside on the property.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ed & Sandra Carman

My wife Sandra and I are retired. We moved to Carrabelle 8 years ago and vacationed in the area for at least 10 years before that. We are originally from Miami, FL. We both love the feel and look of Old Florida which the Forgotten Coast is all about. Fishing and boating are both on the top of our list. The beaches and slow pace offer such a relaxed peaceful place to call home.
Why they chose this property
When you drive through the Forgotten Coast you can feel the nature all around. The picturesque scenery of the trees and shoreline can be breath taking with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
What makes this property unique
Our property offers a place to relax and unwind. You can relax on the private beach or grab a fishing rod and take a few casts. We have caught trout, flounder and redfish right off the beach. The guest cottage has been updated and is a comfy place to return to after a day out on the water or beach. We offer chairs and umbrellas on the beach, a canoe and paddleboard.
