About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great sunrise view from dining area and decks. Easy beach access.

Imagine watching the sun rising over the Gulf while you sip coffee from the deck or with your toes in the sand just a few steps away. If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the busy of everyday life, just an hour south of Tallahassee, the Snail's Pace is waiting for you. You're likely to see more animals than people - sea turtles, bald eagles, osprey, dolphins, deer and maybe even a bear! In 2022 we gave our Gulf front property a complete & total makeover, everything is NEW and waiting for you to enjoy.

Bald Point State Park is just moments away with bike/walking lanes to get you there the entire way. The 4000-acre park has a beach, fishing pier and kayaking, as well as nature trails if you like to explore.

Alligator Point is a secluded piece of paradise, which is why residents love it here and visitors lucky enough to find it keep coming back. The Tiki Bar is the only restaurant on The Point which means having a fully equipped space to be your home away from home is so important! With owners who love to cook, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to prepare your meals as low key or gourmet as you want. A gas grill is also provided.

The decor is GORGEOUS and beachy. Everything from the art, to the dishes, to the linens will give you that Coastal vibe.

The Point is also known for GREAT fishing year-round. You can check with FWC to see what's "in season" during your stay. Parking is available for a boat and trailer at the house, or charter boats are available at the Marina.

You can sleep 6 comfortably. 2 bedrooms have Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms, and the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin. The 3rd bedroom also has a small desk area and TV making it a great space to tuck away little ones. 2 of the 3 bedrooms also have Gulf views.

The NEW deck upstairs has high Adirondack chairs to see the Gulf without any obstructions, and a bar with stools for everyone to have a space. Under the house is a beautiful screened in porch with plenty of seating to enjoy being outside without being bothered by any no-see-ums (don't know what those are? you will!). There's also Adirondack chairs downstairs on a floating deck.

You don't have to worry about packing linens, towels, beach towels or beach chairs leaving you more room to bring what you actually need. Wifi is available throughout and you can login to all of your streaming services on the Smart TVs.

Once the sun starts to set, you'll find many locals at the Tiki Bar at the Marina. Its a great place to grab cold drinks, catch live entertainment and grab something to eat.

If you're looking for a day trip, one of the world's largest & deepest freshwater springs is just 40 minutes away at Wakulla Springs. Surrounded by ancient cypress swamps, its a fun excursion to swim in crystal clear year-round 70 degree water, or take a river boat tour and get up close with alligators, manatees, birds & turtles. "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed here! Its definitely a must visit.

We hope to see you soon on the Forgotten Coast!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Comforting Vacation

This home is very accomodating. Kevin and Barbara thought of everything that we could have needed. Even down to the hairdryers. The view is spectacular from the upper porch to the lower deck. Kevin is a gracious host. He checked in several times by text just to make sure everything was good and we did not need anything. They even decorated for Christmas before we arrived. Thanks again for the wonderful stay 8n your home.

Nice, Private Beach Home

Our family stayed July 4th week of 2024. If you want a quiet beach trip full of wildlife this is an amazing beach house. It is close to Wakulla Springs for a great day trip. Also, close to a few great state parks one minutes from this house. The house itself was fully furnished with many extras already there such as laundry detergent, soaps, paper towels, and such. We, of course, bought what we used to get the next guest started.

Peaceful vacation home

We truly enjoyed our stay at Snail’s Pace. It was a well kept home with everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Although it was smaller than other homes we have rented, it had everything we needed to cook meals and feel comfortable. The front deck was the perfect place to watch the sunrise and my kids enjoyed spending time in the screened porch in the evenings. The twin bedroom did stay warmer than the other rooms but we grabbed a fan from the dollar store and that helped a lot. The beach was never crowded and we loved walking along the shore in the mornings and evenings. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place

It was perfect! the hosts were awesome and even told us of a Rocket launch from Kennedy space station that we could see from the deck! the house was amazing super clean and had literally everything we needed like beach towels chairs and toys etc... it was quite and relaxing we spent most our time at the beach or on the deck we even saw dolphins swimming by. it is a tad far from things like stores and restaurants, but this was no issue for us. It would have been nice to have a vacuum on hand to combat the sand, but the provided broom worked just fine. 10 out of 10 would stay again.

Family Beach Stay

The house was extremely clean and exactly as listed. It had all of the essentials and then some. This house is exactly what a VRBO should be. No extra hoops to jump through and Kevin was great. Local restaurants were wonderful and the area was lovely. With that being said- We were unfamiliar with this side of the Gulf, and did not do our research before renting (Totally our fault). The Beach was not what we had imagined, and that caused us to spend a lot of time indoors or finding things to do in town. Thankfully the house had so many outdoor options for the kids to play that they didn’t seem to notice.

Couldn’t have asked for better!

Kevin was so helpful and available and let us know that if we needed anything to let him know and even listened to my 12 year olds suggestions. He was so nice the one time he dropped in the bring a new chair to the screened in room. The house was clean, well Organized, and you could tell that care was put into the details and not just thrown together like some rentals are. I LOVED watching the waves through the dining room windows while eating breakfast! The entire trip was made perfect by the efforts put into this treasure gem and its creators. Don’t pass on the opportunity to stay at Snail Pace! The beach is also so peaceful and not crowded
