About this property

Blissful New-Build Forgotten Coast Retreat—Many Amenities + Close to Everything!

Families and groups, couples, boaters and fishing enthusiasts will adore this gorgeous little gem of a house near the water in the heart of tranquil, friendly Eastpoint, close to everything and less than 10 minutes to the beaches, shopping, dining, waterways and culture of Apalachicola, St. George Island and Carrabelle. This lovely newly-built (2023) home is the perfect home away from home for relaxed travelers who want to soak up everything that this unique and beautiful area has to offer, while having a lovely, livable, organized space to get comfortable in or come home to when the day's adventures are done.

The Area:
The Forgotten Coast just might be Florida's best-kept secret for the perfect vacation. Chock-full of beautiful beaches and waterways, quaint little shops, one-of-a-kind local restaurants and so much more, it is beloved just as much for what it doesn't have (big-box stores, traffic, hustle and bustle) as what it does. It's an easygoing, relaxed and incredibly friendly slice of heaven on the Gulf Coast.

The Property:
Open, airy, and streaming with gorgeous natural light, this home is designed in a coastal cottage style with lighthearted details throughout. Custom window treatments, accessories and hand-built furniture create a memorably cozy atmosphere.

This home has all the amenities you need for the perfect trip to the beautiful Forgotten Coast. Quick instructions for everything from the tv remotes and WiFi to the fans and the smart thermostat are conveniently displayed. And a handy key to finding everything in the house means you won't waste vacation time trying to find what you are looking for.

Other things to note:

►The whole house and yard are yours to enjoy during your stay*! Please note the backyard is not fenced and our property extends beyond the back lawn into densely forested ground that is not possible to walk in.
*With the exceptions of locked supply closet in kitchen and locked tool chest in master bedroom closet.

►With the natural beauty of the Forgotten Coast comes a bit of wildlife. We've never seen it but there are clues of a local bear who occasionally gets into trash cans and takes trash to the wooded area behind backyard (unfenced). Bear-secure trash can helps with this. We've also spotted an adorable small turtle and tiny frogs in the yard.

►Due to high mineral content, our tap water can give off a sulphur smell which generally fades several hours after guests begin using the water. We recommend using the refrigerator's filtered water for drinking, although the tap water is safe to drink.

►If you have an ADA Service Animal, please note that per VRBO policy as related to federal law, "handlers must have their animal under control either on a leash or by verbal command if they are unable to use a leash." This means that the service animal must never be left unattended at the property at any time. Additionally as we are a no-pet property, for the health and comfort of our other guests, service animals are not allowed on beds or other furniture at any time.
IMPORTANT: Per Florida law, we require proof of rabies vaccination for ADA Service Animals prior to stay.

►Please let us know right away if there's ever an issue at or with the property that impacts the enjoyment of your stay so that we can help resolve it. Our guests are our top priority!

The Perfect Escape
What a wonderful little surprise it was to book a last minute trip and end up in the perfect town and home to bring in the New Year! Melissa’s home is absolutely amazing! It’s organized meticulously and has all the comforts to make this your home away from home. If you’re duck hunting, you’re just 3 minutes from various ramps. If you’re sight seeing, you’re 5-7 minutes from the SGI and Apalachicola city centers. And if you’re just in the mood to relax, the home is stocked with great books, games, and cozy spaces. Thank you again to Melissa and her husband for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful home! I know we’ll be back soon! Jackie

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Salman

Host profile image
We're from Northern California and now live near Denver Colorado. We love to travel, but we're also homebodies. Our favorite downtimes are spent either taking a trip to see family and friends, hosting them at our house, or working on a DIY and catching a movie. We are lucky to be the parents of three wonderful almost-grown daughters who keep us busy, as do our 3 pups. We also love fostering dogs for a local rescue; our biggest challenge on that front was a mom and her 9 new babies.

Why they chose this property

The Forgotten Coast is a very special place; it was love at first sight when we came for a visit! The natural beauty, fresh sea air, all the unique little local places and most of all the friendly, down-to-earth people are what make it truly one-of-a-kind. The Las Brisas neighborhood is tucked away but super convenient to Eastpoint, St. George Island, Apalachicola and Carrabelle. The neighborhood is lush and green, peaceful, private, safe and super friendly, just a wonderful place to stay!

What makes this property unique

We love this home for many reasons in addition to its ideal location. First, the floorplan is super-functional; the open-concept space makes it easy to spend quality time together. The finishes are new and beautiful—from the granite countertops throughout, to the soaring great-room ceilings, to the shiplap walls and the river-rock floor of the oversized master shower, everything has been chosen with care. The decor is beachy but not like the typical "beach house"—custom window treatments, artwork and playful touches throughout set this beautiful cottage apart.
