I had to force myself to not be selfish and go ahead and reveal this treasure to others. I had wanted to keep it a secret... Nowhere can you find a calm, peaceful, private beach with beautiful trees and vegetation in a neighborhood of residents whose families have lived there for generations. It is a treasure of beauty and serenity, nothing like the stark, crowded, noisy beaches elsewhere in the panhandle. The beach is clean and white-sanded, and the water is shallow so that walking, wading, and skimboarding are possible and children are safe. Deeper water is also accessible for any ocean activity. Families and beloved, friendly dogs trickle by, and the tides bring an ever-changing landscape. The house is nestled in the cool trees but steps from the Tiki Hut and sand. It is decorated beautifully, with everything you need, and is very comfortable. Perfect for me is the gigantic sleeping porch that stretches across the back and due to its being on the second level, gives you an expansive view, including dolphins every day. I have never napped better! The owner is someone you would like to have as a life-long friend, very kind and gregarious. All will love this place; just don't book it when I have the fortune to go there! :)
