Overview

An unforgettable Forgotten Coast getaway awaits at this classic shotgun Florida cottage. Saved from destruction and moved to its present location, nostalgia and new memories await you at this quaint Florida cottage full of vintage Florida charm, original hardwood flooring, and intimate access to nature. A timeless classic, this laid-back retreat offers relaxed digs for families, couples, divers or anglers looking for a quiet and convenient seaside escape. Located just six miles and mere minutes outside of the towns of Carrabelle, Eastpoint, Apalachicola and St. Georges Island, you'll have boat rentals, charter services, and magnificent seafood restaurants at your fingertips.

While visiting Carrabelle be sure to pay a visit to the 'World's Smallest Police Station' or pick up a picnic lunch and enjoy the nostalgic 50's beach pavilions while taking in the sights and smell of the surf. This home borders Tate's Hell State Forest where you can find many hiking trails to explore, including the very popular High Bluff Trail that comes complete with local wildlife sightings such as heron, deer and of course the occasional bear. Whatever you choose, plan to have a memorable and spectacular day of fun at this centrally located Florida cottage. Two kayaks are also available for your enjoyment and are located in the backyard.

In the mornings, sip coffee on the front porch, and in the afternoons, retreat to the breezy screened porch. In the evenings relax under the starlit skies and loosely strung lights beside the fire cauldron or just lay back on the hammock or in one of the Adirondack chairs. This time capsule cottage comes adeptly furnished for both casual downtime or lively conversation. Should you enjoy preparing your own meals, you'll find this petite kitchen still offers you a host of kitchen appliances and modern conveniences. A newly upgraded 2024 private washer/dryer set makes doing your laundry before heading home a breeze and the mounted air-conditioners provide an extra layer of comfort during your stay.

It is a great buget friendly place for the family.

Very cozy place. Great value for it’s proximity to St. George’s Island.

The water was to hard a lot of iron in it.

Very comfy home for our fishing trip. A little tough first day backing boat in yard but after first day it was a breeze. Only complaint would be water in home was really bad. The odor during bath showers was extremely strong. After washing with water use skin had a strong metal smell. The host does provide a chilled water dispenser in kitchen that we took advantage of for washing fruits and vegetables and coffee pot. Again, a really comfortable stay that made our fishing trip enjoyable. But do bring bug spray in summer as home is in wooded area with pesking bitting flies.

Avari response:

Thank you, Mark, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found the home comfortable for your fishing trip. It’s great to know that the chilled water dispenser was helpful for you during your stay.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the water quality. That shouldn’t have happened, and we take your concerns seriously. We’re committed to ensuring that every aspect of our guests' experience meets our high standards, and we will look into this issue right away.

We also appreciate the tip about bug spray; it’s always good to be prepared when enjoying the beautiful outdoors. We hope to welcome you back for another fishing adventure soon, where we can provide an even better experience.
