Secluded Oasis: 500' from Private Beach, Every Amenity for Ultimate Relaxation

Enjoy a home away from home, in this cozy beach cottage, nestled in a quiet “old Florida” part of the State. Only 500ft from the beach. We have all the amenities of home right here. Stay for a few days or a few months. You’ll fall in Love with the scenery and the wildlife when you visit. Keep your eyes open for the white squirrels scurrying through the trees. While enjoying the therapeutic powers of our natural environment with nearly four miles of Gulf beach shoreline surrounded by 762 acres of woods with towering pines, twisting oaks and fan like palmettos, this area is a celebration of nature, offering an inspirational refuge to enjoy the great outdoors. No two days need ever be the same. Enjoy numerous activities or just relax and soak in the panoramic views offered by this extraordinary stretch of secluded coast. This area appeals to those who appreciate the wonder of nature and quality time spent with family and friends.

This is a really nice property with everything you need as long as you're looking for a laid-back vacation without a lot of attractions. We did see dolphins, a horseshoe crab, starfish, tons of hermit crabs, squirls, and rabbits. The walk to the beach wasn't too bad and the sand was great for sandcastles. The beach does have a few hazard spots next to the pier so don't go running into the water until after your first low tide so you can see where the logs are. Other than that, this was a great place to relax and enjoy the beach.

If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation with the gulf just steps away, this is the place.

Our stay at this beach house was nice. Located just one tier back from the beach, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and proximity to the gulf. The house itself was well maintained, with many amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. The spacious deck was a highlight, perfect for morning coffee and reading the paper.

A great place to spend a month!

The cottage and area is a perfect place to relax, walk on the beach, cook and read. We cooked a lot at the cottage (went to Crawfordsville and Costco in Tallahassee for groceries) because kitchen was very well equipped. We did not use the kayaks and we don't fish but all the equipment is there for that! The cottage was great for the two of us. Big tv to watch movies on Netflix, Prime, local channels and more. St Theresa is the perfect spot to explore from--we travelled East toward Panacea, ate at the Trident, Angelo's, Hamanackers. Glad we didn't miss Wakulla Springs and the beautiful historic lodge there but especially the boat tour. Golfed in Tallahassee at Southwood, a really nice course. Although it was awesome that we could walk out the door and the beach was a very short walk away sometimes we switched it up and walked on the Carrabelle beach and many times drove to St George Island to walk miles on that white quartz sand beach too. ( P.S. we liked the walk on the St Theresa beach best when it was low tide) Shawn and Katie are super hosts and very responsive if you need them!

Relaxing week away

This was our first visit to St. Teresa beach and we really enjoyed the area! The house was very nice, comfortable and what we look for in a vacation home and a short walk to the beach. The beach is quiet and the people and families we did meet were very friendly. We enjoyed Trident restaurant, the Tiki Hut on Alligator Point and EastPoint Brewery and the local fresh seafood markets! My husband did not have much luck fishing but the week away without a schedule was wonderful! Morning runs and evening walks on the beach were so peaceful! We did have a bear encounter but he was not aggressive, a first for us! We hope to come back for another visit!

Love St Teresa Beach and the area

House was clean. Master bed was quite comfortable. There's a nice porch that is screened and great for the morning and evening when it's not so hot. September of course is very hot. No real view of the water and walk to the beach is a bit especially if you have to go to the restroom. Owners were very responsive to any questions or concerns etc.

Shawn & Katie’s house is always welcoming.

Each time we’ve arranged to come down, their home is very comfortable. And well equipped. We have heard of other rentals that do not include baking amenities such as flour, sugar or even salt. (Not even toiletries such as extra TP or paper products. Our hosts include detergent & stain removers [dishes, laundry etc.], Like a hotel, there’s even a hair dryer! We have been pleased to see constant improvements.

Cozy Cottage Indeed!

Back from a relaxing stay at this off the beaten path very cozy cottage. Hosts were extremely responsive before and throughout our visit. It is one of the neatest, cleanest homes we've ever rented, even more impressive considering we were just off the beach and under a canopy of glorious trees on a sandy road. The bed was good, and the home was well stocked. It rained 4 out of 7 days we were there, so really appreciated the front screened porch with lots of room to lounge and dine and still hear the sound of the ocean. There was most any kitchen amenities you could want and extra pantry items you forgot. Very quiet neighborhood and on non-rainy days a beautiful beach to walk. Spent lots of time reading on the porch and watching white squirrel antics in the tree just outside. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to unwind. Thanks for a peaceful break.
