About this house rental

Welcome to your “Old Florida” hideaway—serene, comfortable, and perfectly located just 500 feet from a private, uncrowded Gulf beach. Guests consistently rate this cottage 10/10 for its peaceful setting, thoughtful amenities, and easy access to nature.

Enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets on the large screened porch while listening to the waves and spotting white squirrels, dolphins, and even manatees in the shallows. Families love the quiet neighborhood where kids can explore safely, build sandcastles, or fish from the nearby pier. Our guests regularly catch redfish and enjoy kayaking the Wakulla River with our provided kayaks and canoe.

Inside, the cottage combines beachy charm with modern comforts—high water pressure showers, a spacious kitchen fully stocked for cooking, and a cozy living area perfect for movie nights. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or an extended stay, you’ll find everything you need for complete relaxation.

Nearby, explore local favorites like Wakulla Springs State Park, the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab, and nearby restaurants in Panacea. Guests return year after year for the tranquility, the star-filled night skies, and that unmistakable sense of “getting away from it all.”

Book your stay today and see why so many families call this their favorite spot on the Forgotten Coast.

Perfect place for a quiet getaway. The host responded promptly when I needed to ask a question. All you need for that beach getaway is provided by the host! It was perfect!

Absolutely amazing stay!! We were looking for a quieter place with beach access and this was PERFECT! We loved the short walk to the beach, the screened in porch, and of course watching the amazing sunsets and sunrises. Our kids spent hours playing in the sand on the beach while we fished and enjoyed the views. We caught quite a few redfish from the pier and also saw lots of wildlife - manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and of course the white squirrels as mentioned in the property description! Already working on planning another trip!
