Molly's Panacea home is very comfortable and clean. The view of the water was so nice. The location is close to a number of local restaurants. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had everything we needed to cook also.Molly was very responsive when we had questions. The king bed was a bit too soft for my taste but my husband found it comfortable.I highly recommend Molly and her lovely Panacea waterfront property!

Stayed 7 nights in April and enjoyed the relaxing view and the fishing from the pier very much. The home was spacious and clean and better than expected. Host was extremely responsive with a couple of things that came up to make sure our stay went smoothly. Planning to return at least once a year and hope it is still available to rent.
Caught and released large catfish and 3 sharks! Super fun!

Excellent, but it could have been even better! I rated it four stars because there was a foul odor left in the refrigerator by the previous tenant. The cleaning crew should have caught this. Also, there was no gas tank for the gas grill when we arrived. Molly took care of these things quickly once we were able to get through to her. We hope to return someday soon, and look forward to giving this wonderful place a five star review next time.

Just perfect. So very clean, private, well organized and safe. We enjoyed the fenced in area for the pups and the lovely long dock to enjoy sunset. All supplies were easy to find. Nothing was missing, even the beautiful soaps and shampoos in the bathrooms. The lanai was large and screened in with a doggie door and the cement/stone table and stools outside made it easy to look out over the beautiful waters. Mashes Sands small beach about a mile down the road was an easy trip and perfect for watching Gulf waters roll in. Will definitely look forward to another escape to this property.

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.
