Coastal Cottage with Amazing Gulf Views!

Looking for a place to relax and truly get away from it all? Welcome to Wakulla Beach! Located 3 miles down a dirt road, this coastal cottage is tucked deep inside the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge. The surrounding wilderness ensures clear skies, dark nights, and peaceful solitude.

Unobstructed views of the Gulf allows for quiet relaxation on the large screened porch. French doors in the living room and bedrooms ensure that all rooms enjoy the view of the bay. If star gazing and a good book sounds like an ideal quiet night, you will be right at home!

Our cottage is almost 100 years old and it is tiny! We have a clawfoot tub with a hand-held shower attachment. We have central AC/heat and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We do not have a dishwasher or cable TV. We do have a TV antenna, which gives great access to basic channels. We also have satellite internet (Starlink) that can be used on our smart tv with your favorite apps.

Our house is the epitome of the real Florida. It's quaint and rustic, with a great view! We are surrounded by the St. Marks wildlife refuge, which has 83,000 acres of conservation land. This means there's a host of animals nearby, but we're also a bit off the grid. Cell service can be spotty, there's no cable access, and we're on well water, which in our area is salty. We do provide purified drinking water for our guests.

Wakulla Beach is a short 5-10 minute walk away.

Strictly a non-smoking property.

NOTE - Our home employs a Nest doorbell for security.

My husband and I spent our 15th anniversary here for several days. We were looking for a remote place, quiet, and with great views. This place delivered and Danielle was available to answer my questions ahead of time and during the visit. Great host! We loved the porch, the antiques that filled the house, the marsh views, the scenery as we drove in and out on the road, and being so close to Wakulla beach. If you want the most privacy, we recommend going mid week. On Friday and Saturday night the road tends to be a place for locals to ride and there can be several cars going by. We worried about our truck and supplies being so close to the road but no issues. Loved all the conveniences, including washer and dryer. Good spot to get out and explore. We visited St Marks, Shell Point, Alligator Point, Panacea, Crawfordville, and Apalachicola during our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Private and Quiet
The communication with the property manager was great and she was really helpful and prompt. Check in was easy and she gave us a lot of good information about the area. The house itself was in good shape and had everything we needed. It was very private, away from any other homes in the area and it was also nice and quiet - just what we wanted. The proximity to the beach was also nice - about a 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is the real Florida
This location is unbeatable. I have stayed in many places in this area and this is the best location possible. Quiet, wildlife, masses of stars. The cottage has lots of lovely art and antiques. Don't forget to appreciate those floors! It was hard to leave the porch. It's such a great place to unwind and rest. For all the Floridians; the AC works great! We liked the "salty" showers and appreciated the filtered water for drinking. Great communication from the host. If you want the real Florida, this is it.

Beautiful house and location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage over the Christmas holidays. The front porch was our primary hang out location, watching the marsh and the Gulf. After a particularly heavy rain and high tide we were able to observe egrets, herons, otters and deer on and around the property. Wakulla Beach (more of a boat launch) is a short walk away. The house itself is very well furnished with provided filtered water and comfortable bedrooms and really nice older furniture, just a relaxing place to be We cooked several meals there and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Internet and TV worked as expected for nightly movies. The road going out is a bit rough but we made it in a Honda Civic and the worst place on the road was repaired within a day, just take your time if you're not in a large truck. Danielle was very helpful when we had questions. We look forward to another visit here.

Lovely house & Setting with some drawbacks
This place would be a dream house if the water system was better and if the entrance gate area was above water in heavy rain. It is a fine house, beautifully furnished and well equipped. But the nonpotable salty water was a surprise, and wading through 2" of water to our car several times was unpleasant.

Great property! A wonderful way to experience a little bit of “Old Florida.” The housekeeping was excellent and owners have done a great job of making the cottage very comfortable and were very responsive. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing hideaway
This place was amazing and beautifully decorated with antiques. Our dog enjoyed the fully fenced yard and we loved the back porch that overlooked the marsh and bay. The bedrooms had French doors that opened to the porch where we rose to the sunset. We were looking for a relaxing and peaceful couple of days and it was exactly what we had expected. Would return for another trip.

An Absolute, Otherworldly Paradise
Staying at Wakulla Beach was an absolutely extraordinary experience – one of my favorite vacation rental experiences, via any platform, anywhere, ever. Danielle, to begin with, was a phenomenal and gracious host. She checked in with us multiple times before our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. and was immanently reachable. All the instructions for the property were totally clear, and available both digitally and in a handbook onsite. A long-time friend and I were road-tripping along the gulf-coast – I'd never seen this part of the country before; I'm from the desert. So imagine the absolute wonder of driving along a bayou road at dusk to a secluded, jungle-like beach that we functionally had all to ourselves. Absolutely wondrous. The house itself contributed to the atmosphere – cosy, rustic, but absolutely clean and modern inside with all the necessities. I felt like we were in a movie. It fulfilled precisely the fantasy we'd imagined of kicking back with some beers and bratwursts, listening to the cicadas as the sun sank below the horizon (this was after we'd gone wading along the beach, watching crabs burrow, in the gorgeous, golden-hour spring air). The beds were delightfully comfortable, and the interior is decorated with antiques and lovely atmospheric touches. But every modern necessity is provided for, right down to a bluetooth speaker (resembling an old-timey radio!) so we could put on some relaxing tunes. I even truly enjoyed the salty shower water – I felt like I was at a spa – and of course an ice-cold fresh water cooler is provided. We had no problem cooking, washing up, or getting online, even though we felt like we were deep in the bayou on the edge of nowhere. An absolutely magical time. This began as just a stop on a road trip, but I would literally consider traveling back to this area just to vacation at this place. Stay here, especially if this is the vibe you're seeking. You won't be disappointed.
