About the host

Hosted by Bob Vannerson

Host profile image
In 2018, we purchased this property from the daughter of the original owner who took great pride in her home, yard and flowers. and was an avid fisherman. I am continuing to offer the home as a vacation rental until I too can retire there and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and fishing at Lake Talquin. I am from Pensacola FL, and have been fishing here for the last 10 years, and consider it one of the best fresh water fishing lakes in Florida. I am continuing to employ the very reliable neighbors who have been taking immaculate care of the home, property, and the needs of prior guests for the last 6 years.

Why they chose this property

In addition to the obvious waterfront advantages of the beauty and serenity, there is boating and great fishing opportunities, with other site-seeing opportunities close by, like the state capital, Florida State University, Wakulla Springs, Florida Caverns, and the Gulf beaches are close enough for day outings on the beautiful white sand of the northern Gulf Coast.

Our property manager lives close-by in case you need any assistance or something breaks. The home is well furnished with a collection of comfortable furniture and accessories to make your stay pleasant and relaxing. My dependable handy man keeps the property in tip top condition, including the yards and flower beds, which is quite a task when you see the size of this lovely lot.

This home is only 40 minutes from Florida's State Capital in Tallahassee and Florida State University. Therefore, this is an ideal location for families to visit the capital, museums, etc., or visit students and attend events at FSU. Beautiful Wakulla Springs and the Florida State Caverns are nearby as well.

What makes this property unique

- Property manager available nearby to assist if needed.
- A large screened deck over looking the lush green lawn and our calm little cove and enjoy the frogs singing every summer night.
- A boat house that will accommodate two large fishing boats or even pontoon boats. It has lights and electric hook-ups to charge your boat batteries, two fishing piers, and a fish cleaning table and sink with running water.
- Local Fishing guides available for one half or full day excursions.
- A public boat launch and boat rental is located down the street at Whippoorwill's and Ingram's Marina has a great supply of fishing gear, bait, gas and fishing advice.
- The State Capital and Florida State University (FSU) is only a 30 minute drive.
