Serene house on the bay - great views and access to nature

We loved our stay at the house. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset views of the bay each day and the lovely bike path / walking trail just outside was great with our dog. The house was clean and the host was so kind. I would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful House

This house is immaculate and well stocked. It’s roomy and in a great location. The owner has thought of everything to make a stay here enjoyable. We are bird watchers. The location is not too far from St. Marks, a wonderful bird watching site. In the morning we’d go out bird watching and come back to the house and enjoy the sunroom. The owner responds to questions very quickly. This is a wonderful rental.

About the host

Hosted by Molly Fusco

Host profile image
Hey Everyone! I am born and raised in Florida. I love watercolor painting, plants and hanging out with my family. I fell in love with real estate in 2015 and have been helping long/mid/short term guests with rentals for since 2022!

Why they chose this property

Panacea is a small and quiet fishing town. You will love the close proximity to the bay, ocean, beach, boat ramps, walking paths, restaurants and outdoor activities. There is a mix of long term residents and short term rentals. It's a safe place to enjoy yourself.

What makes this property unique


Nestled along the quiet shores of Ochlockonee Bay, this delightful property boasts a private boat dock with two slips for guest to use, providing an idyllic haven for nautical enthusiasts. Situated mere moments from a convenient boat ramp (Mashes Sands,) and offering ample parking space for trailers/RV/cars within the expanse of the front yard, this residence epitomizes both convenience and accessibility for marine pursuits.

Ensuring tranquility and peace of mind, the backyard of this home is enclosed by a fence, affording a secure environment where children can freely play without the concern of wandering beyond its confines. Additionally, the screened-in lanai presents a sanctuary from bothersome insects such as mosquitoes and gnats, thereby facilitating uninterrupted enjoyment of the outdoor ambiance.

In summary, this property not only offers unparalleled access to the aquatic splendor of Ochlockonee Bay, the ocean, and beach, but also provides a sanctuary of comfort and security, elevating the quintessential coastal lifestyle to new heights of enjoyment only a hour outside of Tallahassee, Florida.
