Gorgeous view!

The Golden Goat was the perfect place to relax and unwind. My favorite spot was the screened porch. Everything was clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook meals. I can’t wait to return!

Shorty

Would have been better if I was about a foot taller & 10 years younger! The steps were high and of differing heights, the extra toilet paper was 2 feet higher than me! I had to use a step stool to get in bed...it was waist high for me. And no hand rails in shower Still. The house was very nice and clean. The view was great. Just a beautiful place. Next time I would definitely rent from this company BUT I'd try to find something a little more appropriate for me. The rental agent was awesome!

THE GOLDEN GOAT ON THE BAY

We absolutely love staying here! The owners are beyond fantastic and will help with anything you need. The house is a perfect place for us right on the bay. We had everything we needed in the home including beach chairs, a wagon, kayaks, bicycles, etc...

We loved this rental! It was very clean, comfortable, modern (and open/airy!) inside, and on the ground floor (no flights of stairs to lug our things up/down)! And, the screened in back porch was perfect and where we had our meals and stayed more than indoors. The scenery was beautiful, and the area is so peaceful. We drove around Wakulla Co and surrounding areas a lot, enjoying the wildflowers!
