Fabulous

This is a home away from home. Beautifully decorated, plush linens, towels and beds so very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and much more. The ice machine maybe my favorite part. Location is perfect to get away, enjoy the beach without the crowd. Randy was easy to contact and answered all my questions.

Wonderful quiet family vacation spot

We all were amazed how well decorated and clean this house really was! The pictures on VRBO do it justice! Everything you need in the way of paper items, soaps, plastic bags (garbage down to sandwich size) and cleaning materials are all there. Everything works! There are beach chairs and umbrellas. And the upstairs den/game room/4th bedroom is a perfect hangout spot for teenagers. Randy, our host, quickly responded to every single question we had. Ideal vacation for our whole family.

Stupendous Spot!

This house has everything you could possibly need and probably most anything you would want. Beautifully decorated, comfy, well-supplied kitchen (pizza pans included), beach wagons that were a pleasant surprise (we had lots of kids' stuff; ) and my personal favorite, the porch area with 12 actual plants. An oasis within an oasis. Highly recommend the "White Pelican" experience!

Amazing relaxation

This is everything you can ask for and more! The house is beautiful with everything you need for a great vacation! The view of the ocean and barrier islands is spectacular and the short walk to the beach basically in the backyard makes taking all your beach and fishing equipment to the beach very easy. Highly recommended for families who like peace and quiet and a low traffic beach. Several small towns are close by with some great restaurants or just stay in and grill at the house. This home and destination will not disappoint you! The owners are the best and are great at responding to any questions. I’m 56 years old and this is probably one of the best family vacations I’ve had. We will be back!

Hidden gem

The Carrabelle beach house was an absolute gem of a place. Completely furnished w everything you could think of including things like bandaids, toothbrushes, toothpaste etc should you have forgotten something… The 30-40 yard walk to the beach was nothing to basically have a private beach. Dolphins every day, great morning view from the master BR, plenty of family space, plenty of parking and storage area. Randy was a superb host! Treated us like family! Would definitely stay again for a long weekend or family week!

Don't pass this one up! Beautiful Home, Peaceful Town, close to larger attractions!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely, spacious vacation rental that was perfect for our extended family. With 8 adults and two kids (5 and 7 years old), we were seeking a destination away from the crowds, where we could easily access the beach at any time without the hassle of competing for space. This rental is located in a quiet beach town, with a local IGA grocery store just a few minutes away, making it convenient to stock up on essentials for meals throughout the week. The home itself was incredibly well-equipped with amenities for guests – it surpassed any place we've stayed before. (Seriously!)The location is ideal for anyone looking to explore larger tourist spots like St. George Island (went for dinner) or St. James (went for golf) as well as the charming historic town of Apalachicola, which we spent an afternoon visiting for its shops and eateries. All of these spots were within a 20-minute or so drive from the rental. One of my favorite parts of the home was the large, beautiful screened-in porch overlooking the ocean, where we could relax and enjoy the ocean waves at any time of day. The spacious backyard has a fire pit and is perfect for outdoor activities like cornhole or playing catch. Overall, our experience was wonderful, and we would highly recommend this spot to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to nearby attractions when you're feeling up for it!

Beautiful family home on the calm gulf waters

By the time we checked in I felt like I was borrowing a friend's house for our much anticipated gulf coast vacation. That's how kind and generous Randy was with information about the property and area. You can 100% trust the descriptions and pictures used in his listing and replies. Randy and Leigh share what was clearly their 2nd home with visitors now. Beautiful, well furnished and appointed home on a pristine, quiet stretch of white sand beach with gently lapping warm gulf waters protected by the barrier islands. Absolute paradise. My wife and I, 3 daughters including spouses and roommate, so 8 adults ranging from 25 - 61, the house and bedroom arrangements worked perfectly. The king bedroom and bath down is Huge and facing the gulf, the king upstairs large also with a nice balcony also facing the gulf. The two bedrooms up share a large bathroom, the queen down has a jack and Jill bath with the main living area. As others have said the absolute star of the house is the screened porch overlooking the backyard and gulf. Comfortably seating 8 at times, mornings and evenings spent reading with coffee or drinks. I love my large 12x18 screened porch at home and I was jealous. Carrabelle is a small fishing town, not a tourist destination, with a well stocked IGA grocery and a very good seafood market Millender & Sons. The house, beach and area were exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, relaxing, beach getaway for our book reading, crossword doing, beach walking family!

Best family vacation ever!

We started our search for a relaxing family vacation and stumbled upon this beautiful house on Carrabelle Beach. Like all VRBO listing you never know what you’re getting until you arrive…we have had some let downs. This was not the case! We showed up early and luckily got to meet the owners (Randy and Leigh). Not only were we blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship of the house but they were both very sweet down to earth people. Accommodating is an understatement! They checked in on us after they left to make sure everything was to our liking and offered up local shops and dinner spots. I can’t say enough about them as hosts but I’ll move on to the house and beach. The open floor plan downstairs makes for beautiful views of the ocean and a homely relaxing feeling like nothing I’ve experienced. The kitchen is huge with a large island and dinning room table. We never felt cramped. They also have an extra fridge/freezer in the laundry room for those crucial extra bags of ice and food overflow. Every room is large and comfortable with every furnishing you would need. All I can say about the living room is WOW! The TV and sound system are A+. After a long day in the beach and full bellies from dinner, movie night is a must! Moving outside, the outdoor shower is so nice and they have plenty of exterior water hoses to spray off all your sand gear. The walk to the beach is very easy even with a cart. Due to the response limits I’ll stop here. I would give 6 stars if I could.
