Desirable St Teresa Beach - Beautiful “Old Florida" Home - Fishing dock!

Travel back in time and vacation on “The Forgotten Coast.” St. Teresa Beach is off the radar of traditional tourist destinations. Discover this private three-mile stretch of family-owned homes many passed down from generation to generation. Children play in the shallow, warm waters and run house to house making new friends. The culture at St. Teresa is friendly with the feel of small-town hospitality.

This lovely, well-appointed, two-bedroom, 2 ½ bath "Old Florida" home sits on the quiet, peaceful shores of the Gulf coast just a one-hour drive south of Tallahassee, Florida, the state capital. This meticulously-maintained home features two living room spaces, rocking chair screen porch with al fresco dining, open kitchen/living room with fireplace, large-screen Smart TV, and reliable fiber-optic Internet. Kitchen has all the features of home and stocked with essentials: Cooking spices and oils, dish soaps, Cascade, coffee filters, garbage bags, and paper products. Beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas provided.

Upstairs boasts a second living area with panoramic view of beach and water. Large smart TV for streaming your favorite apps and Bluetooth speakers for music. Rowing machine and hand weights to keep up your workout routine!

Both bedrooms are upstairs providing privacy and quiet. First bedroom (sleeps 2) furnished with comfy king-size bed, black-out draperies, en suite with tub/shower combination.

Second bedroom (sleeps 2 adults; 2 children) has comfy queen bed and twin-size bed with a pull-out trundle bed, black-out draperies, en suite with tub/shower combination.

Inside laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, iron, and ironing board on ground level. Half bath downstairs. Fully enclosed private outdoor shower.

The large enclosed carport accommodates two cars with direct entryway to home. House is not on stilts! Direct access without laboring up those tall stairs found in most coastal rentals.

Unpack, get settled, then dash out the door to sink your toes in the white sand beaches or lounge in Adirondack chairs overlooking the beach while listening to your favorite music on the outdoor speakers.

Venture out in the fishing kayak or walk a few steps to the fishing pier where trout, redfish, and flounder are popular and frequent catches. Drop the paddle board in the water and watch for dolphins and sea turtles as you explore the warm Gulf waters.

Closest rental to the fishing dock located steps from the front door! Easy to haul gear and bring home your catch! Fish cleaning table with fresh water. Bait buckets and fish nets available. Bring your own poles and tackle boxes.

This is a pet-free home. No pets allowed.

St. James Bay public golf course is just a 10-minute drive for a day of golf or pickleball and a nice restaurant and bar.. Several local restaurants are a short drive away.

Historic Apalachicola is a 50-minute drive and has quaint shops, restaurants, museums, art galleries, and local brewery.

Popular St. George Island with restaurants and state park is a short drive over the bridge at East Point on your way to Apalachicola.

Tate's Hell state forest is close by for easy hiking, picnics, and fresh-water fishing in spring-fed lakes. The legend is often recounted with Tate becoming separated from his dogs and lost for seven days and seven nights before coming to a clearing near Carrabelle where he lived only long enough to say to a passerby, "My name is Cebe Tate, and I just came from Hell," before collapsing.

Come experience the secret treasure of St. Teresa, make memories to last a lifetime, leave relaxed and refreshed and making plans to return again next year.
