About this property

Stunning new beach house right on the sand, with use of private boat dock.

Come and stay in a stunning, brand new beach front property.

This brand new beach house takes "beach front" to another level. This incredible property is right on the sand with stunning views out into the Gulf. Experience world-class sunrises and sunsets!

4BR / 4Bath - 2023 luxury construction. Settled in the charming beach community of Shell Point, FL. Whether you are traveling with friends or just yourself, you can take advantage of TWO master suites with stunning beach views, a great bunk room for the kids (sleeps 4) and another spacious bedroom (sleeps 3). Plenty of room for at least two families.

If you like fishing, this is an ideal location with a public launch right across the street and a private dock in a nearby canal steps from the house. If fishing isn't your thing, this is the perfect spot to unwind and relax or entertain your family with water sports such as kayaking or paddle boarding. There's also a public playground and sand volleyball net just a short walk down the beach.

Two balconies (one fully screened in) are ideal to enjoy the cool breezes off the Gulf and take in some pretty incredible views. Elevator, fireplace, plenty of parking, board games, books, puzzles, and much, much more.

An easy drive to Tallahassee as well as nearby Crawfordville- you couldn't ask for a better spot! Come and make some memories to last a lifetime. Welcome to Saltwater Taffy Cottage!

The house was perfect for our 2 families and even has a little room to grow in at some point. The location and amenities can't be beat; having the beach on one side and the boat ramp on the other was absolutely perfect. The host had excellent communication and clear instructions for everything regarding the house, check-in, and check-out.

We experienced some stunning sunsets on the beach that is steps from the beautiful house. Lots of room for our family - perfect for two families. The house has lots of balconies and windows to enjoy the peacefulness of the ocean and beach.

Just What The Doctor Ordered

Thank you for granting us the privilege of making your home our home for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had all the beauty and comforts of home in a low key locale with spectacular sunsets and a gorgeous once in a life time Flower Moon "rise" last night!!! Our experience at Taffy Water Cottage was just what the doctor ordered. Feeling refreshed and ready to take on real life. Again, thank you and we hope you'll have us back.

The house was exactly as described and even more. the kitchen had all the appliances you need including an air fryer and 3 different kinds of coffee machines (for all kind of pods and regular brew). The house was well stocked in pan and dishes, glasses, plates and silverware (enough to feed a large group), dish soap, paper towels, dishwasher and laundry detergents, dryer sheets, shampoos, conditionner, hand and shower soaps, firewood, towels, bed sheets etc... and even had some sugar, flour, some spices, coffee pods, and other non perishable supplies ready for us to use.The house was very clean. The hosts did everything possible to get your to start your vacation on a good foot. They were also very responsive to communication through the app. The house itself is great with amazing beach and ocean views. We spent a lot of time on the decks, admiring dolphins swim right under our windows. The beach is not large but right there when you get down from the house. It is very convenient. The little community is very welcoming and quiet. It was very relaxing. We did some excursions to nearby state parks and to Tallahassee. It is a little remote location away from the busy seaside life of the 30A area we were used to and we liked that aspect a lot. We will definitely consider coming back there with no hesitation for a future family vacation.
