This unique renovated 1924 home was built by the Governor of Alabama as his summer residence. This historic 3400 square foot home maintains many of the original features that give the house its character. Walk out the double living room doors onto the large 12x40-foot pecky cypress screened porch. Relax and listen to the surf roll in while enjoying the view.

All rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. There are two living rooms on the first floor, one for watching TV and one for conversation/reading. Using the etched glass and teak doors you can close off the upstairs, making the house cozy enough for two or large enough for the whole family.

This protected property is surrounded by trees and a wildlife preserve rich in rare plants. Migrating birds and butterflies pass through the area. Shore birds and song birds make an interesting combination. With an acre of land and surrounding undeveloped lots, there is a true feeling of privacy that many beach homes lack. Make yourself at home, have a good time and relax are the rules of the house. This affordable house is a paradise for all.

  • We made our second trip down to this property for a full week in September and it was even better than our previous trip in May 2009. This place has everything you could need while you are on vacation. It truly feels as though you are visiting a friends place rather than renting from a stranger. Linda really goes out of her way to make people feel at home! We are already looking forward to next year!

  • We rented this house for the first time in May 2009 and we are already planning to go back in September 2009. We had a wonderful time!! The pictures on VRBO to not begin to do the house justice. My favorite part of all is the HUGE screened in porch, it is where we spent the majority of our time. The house has everything you could want. The kitchen is very well stocked. We are already counting the days til September!!

  • May 24 - 30. Linda, Thank you so much for opening your lovely home to our family. The vote is final -- from the 5 year old to the 86 year old, Everything was just perfect! Thank you for thinking of everything and making the house so well equipped. We loved the morning walks by the beach, crabbing in the afternoon and local seafood at the 'Raw Bar'. With St Joe's and Apalacahacola just 20 minutes away, we satisfied our appetite for shopping and sightseeing. Honestly though, we mostly stayed at the house and rocked the stress away. Thank you for the wonderful memories. The Rourkes

  • The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. It was as wonderful to stay at as the owner was to work with & talk to. We didn't have the best weather, but because of this comfortable home, we had an amazing Christmas vacation with our family from Georgia. We love to cook & did this with ease in the wonderful, spacious kitchen. Thank you for letting us share your terrific home for the holidays.

  • We stayed in June of '07 and loved the house and the area. I booked a year in advance for '08. The owner is fabulous to work with, a wonderful person. The house is perfect for large groups, well built and quiet.

  • This house is full of charm and character that the photographs cannot capture. We loved our stay at this historic home. It was very clean and inviting. Great attention was paid to detail throughout this old Florida home. The owner goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. We spent mornings surf fishing, and our evenings were spent watching the glorious sunsets. The seafood in the area is second to none. This place is calling YOU.

  • The house is even better than it looks in the pictures. Tons of charm and very clean and comfortable. We had the most relaxing vacation ever. The ocean breeze can be felt when sitting on the beautiful screened in porch. The house is cozy enough for two or spacious enough for many.
