Scenic, yes. Bay and marsh views, yes. We saw a bobcat and a bald eagle from the front porch. Porch tables grimy. The house is 30 steps up. Porch only partially screened against mosquitoes.Clean inside but smelled bad. We didn’t bring our dog after all so our dog wasn’t the problem. Air purifier and refrigerator filter alerts said filters needed changing. Refrigerator had old food and unused vet supplies so we thought the host probably didn’t clean after the last guest so we were suspicious of the towels and sheets. Coffee maker was grimy, especially where the water goes. We didn’t use the Keurig, washer, nor dryer. There was no dining table, no potholders, no can opener, one plate, no silverware, but plenty of paper and plastic ware. There was no place outside to put the garbage. The host claimed the house sleeps six. Maybe two queen beds could sleep six small people?Shell Point Beach, St. Mark’s, and Wakulla Springs are all within a reasonable drive. Access to kayaks would be nice. This house is a gem and deserves gem-worthy treatment. If the admittedly new host addresses its deficiencies and doesn’t expect his guests to also clean and wash for him, he will cash in for sure.
