Amazing cottage

Connie is a hostess with the mostest as we say in our family. Adorably decorated cottage, most well stocked place we have rented to date. So many thoughtful personal touches for us as guests. Great communication before, during, and after our stay. Can’t wait to go back.

Hemingway was the way to go

Upon our arrival we were greeted by the quaint cottage. Once inside we were enveloped by a warmth that you could feel from the purposeful thought out accommodations that were available. From the letter left in the type writer, the wealth of books, the snacks and beverages in the fridge and the table with chocolates and wine on the bed. Our experience was wonderful and when we are in the area again you can be sure that we will stay with here again!

Cozy Cottage

Booked with ease. Connie, the host, was prompt to welcome us. We were in the area cleaning out a family members estate. It was nice to break away and have somewhere to chill out after a long day of cleaning. The screened porch was our absolute favorite place to unwind after a long day. And it was nice to have some information on local places to grab a bite to eat or just grab some necessities at the store. The property was in a beautiful area that was quiet. Thank you for letting us enjoy the cottage.

Cozy coastal cottage with amazing southern hospitality!

Connie is the most gracious hostess I have encountered in our vacation rental experiences! When Tallahassee accommodations failed us for FSU Family Weekend, I broadened our search to include Panacea and I am so glad I did! Connie's communication before, during and after our stay was excellent and she truly thought of every detail when furnishing and stocking her cottage for her guests. We didn't cook during our quick weekend stay, but the kitchen was very well equipped for anything we would have wanted to whip up to eat or drink, including espresso or a blended cocktail. Lovely coastal cottage with impeccable shabby-chic decor and the charming quirks of a vintage home. Our son loved the TV room and ended up sleeping on the comfy couch. The screened porch was great for our morning coffee - loved the furnishings and fans! And best of all - FSU won their first game of the season during our stay. Go Noles! Thank you, Connie, for your gracious hospitality!

Connie has left no stone unturned when it comes to stocking her cottage with everything you need. She graciously left us snacks which was greatly appreciated since we arrived late and we're tired so a snack and bed was perfect. Love love the tv room. Every room is decorated so charming. We will be staying again for sure. Again Thank You Connie for being such a gracious host. Harley and Patsy

If you want to go off the grid without going off the grid then consider a stay at Connie's Cottage. This was such a unique and original experience. The house is light and airy. Connie did an excellent job of preserving the integrity of the vintage space without compromising any of the modern comforts. Imagine your southern grandma marries a younger, hipper spouse and you've got "The Hemingway". Speaking of "The Hemingway", this is a book lovers paradise. There are books everywhere. Like for real books, with spines and paper pages, all genres of varying lengths placed throughout the cottage. Connie is the absolute best host. She called me a few days before our check-in for what I thought was a cursory conversation about our upcoming visit. What I learned was that Connie was calling to tailor a few cottage touches that would be uniquely ours. The thing that takes Connie's Cottage from good to great is the screened-in porch. It's big and spacious and where I spent most of my time reading and relaxing. I honestly hated to leave. Our stay was such a refreshing surprise and it's nice knowing that such a place exist.
