    We have availability for several weeks from August 18 - September 8 @ $1525/week. The rate listed includes cleaning fees and linens.

    Our home is perfect for a relaxing vacation! We are situated on a private 2.5 acre bayfront double lot with wonderful views, private dock with a shallow water boat slip, and kayak launch. We have one of the few kayak launches in The Plantation. Plus, we are walking distance to the Gulf beaches, new community 70-ft swimming pool, tennis courts, and bike paths.

    It only takes a $150 deposit by check and half payment two months in advance by check to confirm reservation with private owner. The other half payment is a month before arrival. Contact us at kath2411 at yahoo com or (614) 252-5733 if you have questions.

    Our home has a warm, inviting atmosphere with comfortable living-room furnishings (two new custom sofas), well-equipped, spacious gourmet kitchen (new Kenmore Pro refrigerator), hardwood/tile flooring, plus high-speed internet and 54 cable channels with Netflix, 5 HBO channels + Amazon Prime movies/TV access. At 1750 sq ft, we are cottage-sized, perfect for small families or couples.

    Rental is by homeowner, with our rates at a special discount - approximately a 15% savings over prices charged when rented through realtors.

    Florida 9% tax is additional, as is a one-time $75 Plantation entrance fee.

    NO DOGS permitted except for monthly winter rentals, regardless of weight or breed. Please do not request special permission to bring "small" dogs.

    We are located in The Plantation, a private gated community with lush native vegetation. Our home overlooks the bay without having to walk to an upper level to see water, as one often must do in homes not directly on the water. We have the bayside views, but are only 1.5 blocks from the beach side of the island with the community 70' pool/ lap lanes, clubhouse, tennis court, workout room, bike path, and boardwalk beach access. The delightful bike paths extend the length of The Plantation, we recommend you bring or rent bikes. When the ocean side waves are high, you can hear the pounding surf at our house!

    A second pool and jetted spa pool by the Resort Village are now available for use for guests. Also, one tennis court now contains a pickle ball court, too.

    Our home is a one-story bayfront, newly painted and roofed with skylights, on a double lot. We offer privacy and breathtaking sunset views across Apalachicola Bay. We are situated on a secluded 2.5 acre wooded site with landscaped front and side lawns. We recently purchased the backyard lot and have mowed a 'shortcut' walking path that ties into Lark Lane, one block from the Plantation clubhouse, pool, and beach access. Birdwatching and stargazing are both excellent here. Only three other homes are located off Bayview Drive.

    We have a 150’ long boardwalk extending over native wetlands to our re-built private dock, with a shallow water boat slip suitable for flats boats. Water levels at the dock ebb and flow with the tides, typical V-hull boats will likely not be able to access the boat slip during low tide. There is an excellent public concrete boat ramp next to the bridge and several less developed sand/oyster shell ramps on the island for launching your boat. Two of the more primitive ones are located on the far end of the island at the state park (fee).

    The dock also has a step down 4' x 8' kayak launch platform with railings to assist in entry/exit from your boat (see photo). Kayak fishing is excellent in the shallow All Tides Cove waters in front of our home. There are also kayak launches in the Plantation at nearby Nicks Hole and at the 'Cut'. Kayaks are NOT included with home rental.

    We keep a crab trap at the ready and fish directly from our dock - we catch redfish and sea trout right in the cove in front of our house. Mullet are frequently observed jumping too! Kids can enjoy watching small fish and crabs move about under the dock.

    This is our family's cozy "island retreat”, not a sterile rental unit. Our home has hardwood and tile flooring, a well equipped and updated gourmet kitchen, vaulted living room ceiling, comfortable furnishings, sliding glass doors in every room, and incredible views.

    * Two Queen bedrooms, 1 twin bed bedroom. All bedrooms have double sliding glass doors leading to the wrap-around deck and the living room has double and triple sliding glass doorways, all with great vistas.

    * One master bath, plus two additional skylight lite bathrooms sharing a tub/shower room between them (Jack-and-Jill style arrangement). All granite or custom marble countertop vanities.

    * High-speed internet plus four TVs with cable, including HBO. Two TVs are connected to the internet with free Netflix and Amazon PRIME movies and TV shows (entire HBO past series just added), as well as Hulu Plus, and Zulu for a fee or via renter's subscription.

    * Two separate HVAC units, allowing a different temperature setting in two of the bedrooms + adjoining baths from the rest of the house.

    * Additional outdoor hot/cold shower.

    * Large, custom 36” stainless steel grill + smoker.

    * Ample covered parking and a circular driveway for boat/trailer.

    We love using our home ourselves, and keep it clean and well equipped.

    About Owner

    Co-owner lives in Tallahassee and worked nearby as a wetlands Ecologist for 20 years. She would be happy to share her knowledge of the nearby forests/recreation sites and boating/biking opportunities.

    Owner purchased this House in 1999

    Why Owner chose Plantation

    Sunsets are breathtaking! Restful surroundings with so much nature, birds, and Apalachicola Bay right in front of our home.

    What makes this House unique

    We are not in the crowded commercial section of the island. We're in a gated community, The Plantation. TWO AND A HALF acres, bay is right out front, trees and landscaping, privacy. Yet only 2.5 BLOCKS TO POOL, BIKE PATH, TENNIS, GULF BEACH ACCESS! We are halfway between causeway bridge and Sykes Cut at west end of Island, right on the Bay, and directly across from pool and beach. ------------------------------------------------------ Kath, Thank you for sharing you wonderful home with us... we really had a lovely time the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking... we went to state park which was awesome for fishing in surf and NOT ANOTHER SOUL around!!! your little bit of heaven. thanks again, Janis A., July 2010 Kath, Loving our stay here at Cypress Cove! The floor plan is very spacious, love the wood floors, screened porch and all the windows/doors. We are the only humans on the Bayview Drive this week. Even if the other houses on this block were rented this is still so private. We've been coming here for years and this week is the clearest waters I have seen with the prettiest turquoise color. People don't know what they are missing. Angie G. Oct.2010
