Perfect house on the water!
Our family had a wonderful stay! Everything we needed was provided - lots of towels, fully stocked kitchen, blankets, kayaks and a canoe. The beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out in the living rooms. The porch was a great place to relax and have coffee and watch the birds over the water. It was a quiet neighborhood for walks in the evening. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We hope we can come back one day!

Home away from home!
This property is set up like a home and not a typical vacation rental with just the basics. It felt like a place thats seen much warmth and love. The kitchen is fully stocked as advertized and there are so many 'extras' in the house like bikes, fishing equipment, binoculars etc. We particularly loved the upper deck - we were able to see dolphins on a number of occassions. Sunsets were spectacular and watching the July 4th fireworks from the deck was a total treat. The kayaks were in great shape and it was super convenient to have the boat ramp next to the house. We went out a number of times on the kayaks during our stay. The house is older, our cell phone connectivity wasnt the best and the wifi was basic, but we absolutely loved our stay. The location of the property can't be beat - wonderful views of the bay, next to the boat ramp, on an island, inside a wildlife refuge and with plenty to do in the area. I know that we'll be back!

remote location and wild
This location is located on the intercoastal in a great spot that allows you to fish, kayak, and explore at your leisure. It was great for what we were looking for.

Very nice stay
Beautiful waterfront views from this quaint, older home. We saw dolphins feeding almost everyday from the deck. The kayaks were in good shape and we used them daily. The home and kitchen were well stocked with everything we needed and we cooked every night. We wish the decks had a fan or two and the bathrooms could use a remodelling. Neighbors are very friendly and it wasn't a big deal being right next to the boat ramp. VRBO listing needs to be updated.

About the host

Host profile image
The house was initially built by my grandparents who had lived in Tallahassee since the 1940s. We are all FSU Seminoles and call Tallahassee home.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family since 1964. We have many wonderful memories exploring the wildlife and playing in the water. Check out the pictures of the view from our deck. There is truly something for everyone no matter the age.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite experience is sitting on the upper deck with our cold beverages; watching the sun set while the birds soar and the the porpoises feed.
