Quiet, peaceful, beautiful getaway!
This is a lovely home in a quiet, family oriented development. The house was clean, nicely furnished and stocked with everything we needed for cooking (including a grill), laundry and beach time. I like to enjoy the beach from under an umbrella but here, a palm tree provided plenty of shade. The water's edge is truly just a few steps from the house. We walked a couple of blocks to the bay side, seeing beautiful homes, boats and gardens. This area is apparently a fishing haven.The views from the decks were amazing! I spent a lot of time just sitting there reading, wine drinking, and watching sailboats, fishing boats and dolphins.The owner/POC (Toni) was so helpful, responding quickly to my calls and texts and even recruited neighbors to help with our questions about nearby dinner options. There are plenty of grocery options in nearby Crawfordville. We even found a meat market with beautiful filets! We drove to Wakulla Springs in less than 20 minutes where we had surprise visits from the manatees and were in Apalachicola in less than an hour for shopping, oysters and local craft beer. If you are looking for the high-rise condo Destin-like scene or close proximity to the clubs and amusement parks, this is NOT for you. Instead, this is the perfect, peaceful place to get away from all of that.I was sad to have to leave!
