Gulf Views From Front Porch!! Pet-Friendly Cottage with Kayaks & Community Pool
If you long for the "good old days" when going to Florida beaches meant time with family, boating, fishing and exploring, we have the place for you. We refer to this area as "the Forgotten Coast". The reason is, that this part of Florida remains mostly undiscovered by the masses. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath coastal cottage is the perfect getaway. Wildlife abounds and the views go forever. You will enjoy the easy lifestyle of SummerCamp Beach. We feature resort like settings that include boardwalks, large community pool, and sandy beaches.
You will feel like you are the only one here. Our lovely home provides every amenity that you would expect in a vacation rental. Our soaring ceilings offer plenty of sunshine, highlighting the coastal theme throughout the home. As owners, we live in the neighborhood, and are minutes away from helping you with any need you may have on your vacation. We can offer excellent recommendations for restaurants, places to explore, golfing, fishing, biking and hiking. We love it here, and know you will as well. We offer a personal touch and truly work to make your vacation special.
We've included 2 single sit-on top kayaks for you to use during your stay. Paddles and life jackets are included. Climb aboard your kayak and paddle your way closer to nature than you ever thought possible. Smell the salt in the air, feel the warm water on your skin as you glide through the clear, shallow protected waters of the gulf, viewing sea life hands on!
We love dogs and would be happy for yours to join us during your stay. There is a pet fee based on the length of your stay. When inquiring or booking, please let us know if you are bringing a dog and if so, what is the size and breed of the dog(s). 2 dogs maximum.
Our screened in front porch provides the perfect setting to enjoy your morning coffee, while taking in the scene. Our beaches here are rustic and natural. At certain times during the year there may be seaweed that washes ashore and may decrease the amount of beach that is exposed. Our low tides make for excellent exploring opportunities. You can search for shells, see fish and other sea life as you wade in ankle deep water. It is truly an amazing experience. If you have had enough of fast paced Florida, be sure to check us out. Life is slow here. We can't wait to show you around.
