Back view across deepwater canal, boat dock with fish cleaning table, porch
Location: Shell Point, Florida North Central, Florida, USA (30 miles South of Tallahassee, between St. Marks and Panacea) View Map
Accommodations: Mobile Home, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-9)
Beautiful canal front home, located 30 miles south of Tallahassee, has all of the comforts of home and is within minutes of world-class speckled trout fishing waters. Our 1492 square foot modular home is located in gated Paradise Village of Shell Point, with swimming pool and tennis court privileges, and a public beach within walking distance. We offer a deepwater canal boat dock right out the back door --- just two minutes away and one canal over from the public boat launch.
The living quarters features three bedrooms, two baths (one with a Jacuzzi tub), a large family area with pool table and big-screen TV, laundry room, screened porch, and fully-equipped kitchen. These accommodations will sleep eight people comfortably, and consist of a king-size bed, queen-size bed, two twin beds, queen-size sleeper sofa, and a rollaway bed. Perfect for a family or a few guys who just want to fish.
Shell Point is also a popular destination for windsurfing and sailing, hosting several annual Regattas. Other interests in the immediate area include a beautiful public golf course (Wildwood Country Club), which is ten minutes away, and one of the finest seafood restaurants anywhere (Angelo's), which is only 20 minutes away.
The Shell Point area is considered to be part of Florida’s forgotten coast. It is a small, quiet community located on the Apalachee Bay that has escaped the fast-lane development that has taken over other areas. You can enjoy the unspoiled and natural beauty of Shell Point, nearby Wakulla Springs State Park, or the Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge; yet, you are only 30 minutes from Tallahassee, with its malls, nightclubs, and restaurants.
This is truly a fisherman's paradise - fish all day (speckled trout, redfish, Spanish mackerel, cobia, tarpon, grouper, black sea bass, etc.). Relax at night shooting pool, watching the big-screen TV, or soaking in the Jacuzzi tub. The next morning, get up and do it again.

Why the Owner Chose Shell Point
I started visiting Shell Point in 1998 and just fell in love with the area; not only for the fishing, but also because of the wildlife and natural habitat. The area is also ideal for my other hobby, which is photography.
The Unique Benefits at this Mobile Home
I enjoy the convenience of having the boat right out the back door. I love getting up early to catch sunrise on the bay and fishing for the "first bite" of the day. Even when we don't use our boat, there are so many nearby parks and locations to observe and photograph wildlife ... and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. When dinner time comes, if we don't cook our catch, there are so many really good seafood restaurants to choose from. At night, the boys always enjoy shooting a little pool; but I'm usually on the internet, catching up on emails.

We enjoyed the lovely house. All rooms are decorated so nice that we felt the sea inside the house. The fishing on our own dock inspired us for more fishing. Thank you!
