Gulf view Geodesic Dome Cabin just a 5 minute walk to uncrowded beach! No Pets!
Quiet Gulf Escape • Uncrowded Beach • Unique Dome Cottage • EV Charger • NO PETS ALLOWED!
Looking for a Florida beach where nature still comes first?
Welcome to St. Teresa Beach, a quiet coastal community where the shoreline is lined with trees instead of hotels and the pace of life slows down.
Here you’ll find uncrowded beaches, wildlife, and peaceful coastal scenery rather than resorts and commercial development.
The beach is about a 4–5 minute walk from the house.
Guests often enjoy seeing:
• dolphins swimming offshore • shorebirds, sea life, and occasional bald eagles along the coastline • incredible shelling at low tide - mesmerizing beauty • peaceful, uncrowded beaches
If you’re looking for a relaxing Old Florida beach experience, this is the place.
The space
Stay in a charming geodesic dome cottage tucked into a wooded neighborhood near the Gulf. Our home features all of the essentials you need to enjoy your stay - linens, dishes, dishwasher, etc.
The unique dome design creates a cozy cabin-like feel with high ceilings and an open layout that many guests say feels larger than expected.
The home includes everything you need to enjoy your stay:
• two bedrooms on the main level with queen beds • loft bedroom with ladder access with two twin beds • two full bathrooms, one is in the loft • screened porch with Gulf view • high-speed Wi-Fi • Roku smart TVs • washer & dryer • outdoor shower • Level-2 EV charger
The loft bedroom includes two twin beds and is accessed by a ladder rather than stairs, which may not be suitable for some guests.
Because of this layout, children under 13 are not allowed without prior approval.
Beach & fishing
St. Teresa Beach offers a quiet, natural shoreline that’s very different from typical tourist beaches.
Instead of large hotels and crowds, you’ll find:
• peaceful coastal scenery • excellent surf fishing • wide open shoreline at low tide • abundant wildlife
Nearby Hannon’s Dock is a favorite local fishing and wildlife viewing spot. Guests regularly catch species such as redfish, trout, and flounder, and the dock includes a fish cleaning station and hand pump for rinsing gear. It’s also common to see sea turtles, dolphins, and other marine life from the water.
Guests must use the designated beach access path less than 5 mins walk just down our drive / sandy dirt road and avoid walking through neighboring yards.
EV charging
A Grizzl-E Level-2 EV charger with J1772 connector is available.
The charger itself supports up to 40 amps, however the circuit at the property is limited to 24 amps, so vehicles should not exceed this setting.
Tesla vehicles will require a J1772 adapter.
Explore the surrounding coast
While St. Teresa Beach offers a quiet and uncrowded shoreline, the surrounding area provides plenty to explore.
Nearby destinations include:
• Bald Point State Park • Wakulla Springs State Park • St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge • Tate’s Hell State Forest • Apalachicola
If you feel like exploring during your stay, there are numerous other beaches in the area with their own unique vibe, including St. George Island, all within easy driving distance and perfect for a day trip.
Excellent seafood restaurants can also be found nearby in Panacea, about 20–25 minutes away.

Quaint and clean
A simple cabin with good privacy, well appointed for basic needs. We were there fishing and just needed a place to sleep and this was a great spot to come back to each day after getting off the water. It’s small, simple, clean and comfortable. I’d definitely stay again if we come back.

A great family vacation
We had a great stay in St Theresa. The beach house was perfect for our family of four. The owners were very great in communicating with us the whole time. Any questions or requests were answered quickly and efficiently. The owners were great about letting us use the beach supplies already at the house. We thought the walk to the beach was very easy, the road to get there is shaded with trees and it didn’t take long at all. My husband enjoyed fishing off the pier, and everyone we met on the beach and neighboring houses were so nice and polite. All in all I give it a 10 out of 10.

Excellent Value in a Beautiful Location
This is a really cool house - a geodesic dome. It has everything you need to enjoy the beach - towels, chairs, boogie boards. And just a short walk. If you want to be on the beach you pay 2-3 times as much. This was the next best thing at a very reasonable price. It was perfect for our family to relax and spend time together. The beach is also fantastic - not very busy, warm water, and never very rough. I highly recommend this property.

beach house
the house was nice clean and had everything u would need. For me it was a little of a walk with beach gear for someone with a weak knee. We did get fussed at my other resident because we drove up to drop of beach items at walk way to beach. We did not park there just dropping things off. otherwise great trip!

Lovely stay, quiet beach
This geodesic home has a really really great location - Saint Terese Beach. The neighborhood is family oriented, quiet, and full of charm. The gulf is visible from the screened porch, and the beach itself is a short walk away.
Checking in was a cinch, and our hosts made us very welcome.

Relaxing getaway
Our first impression as we drove through the woods on the dirt road was, “This is perfect!” Then we got to the house! It is like a cabin on stilts! Everything we needed and more was furnished. The yard is very private yet close to the beach. We loved the remoteness and being surrounded by nature! We visited Alligator Point and St. George, but St. Teresa beach was our favorite. This was one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve ever had and we can’t wait to go back!

Perfect beach getaway home
The owner of this property has definitely stayed at rental homes through out the years. Every small detail that you wished a home had they have taken care of. You don’t have to bring towels, linens, beach gear, paper towels, toilet paper etc. they keep it all stocked for you. Anyone who has been on these vacations know how quickly these items add up cost and space wise, so it’s great to not have to worry about these things. The owner is easy to communicate with if you have any needs or questions. But a detailed binder at the home explains everything you need to know. The home sits back amongst a beautiful tree canopy, the nights are quiet and relaxing. They have smart TVs throughout the home if that’s your thing, that comes preloaded and signed into all the apps already so you or your children can quickly watch their favorite programs. But the true star of the home is St. Teresa beach, if your looking for a a quiet private beach to just waddle in the water and catch some rays then this is the place for you.

Great coastal getaway
We had a wonderful stay during our family vacation. Daren left great instructions for everything and checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. Loved the rural location of this house and the ease at which we were able to access a completely uncrowned beach. We had so much fun fishing off the dock and exploring all of the sea creatures that were so abundant on the beach. It was also so nice to have use of the wagon to cart all of our things to the beach. The house was nicely stocked with essentials and our teenagers enjoyed having their own space. Thanks for the fantastic stay!

Great stay!
We had a great vacation here! We enjoyed sitting on the front screened in porch looking out at the ocean every night. The house was a good size for our family of 4. The recent upgrades were apparent. The private community beach and dock were great! We were the only people out there the majority of our time there. The owners have beach towels, a waggon, beach chairs and sand toys to borrow while you are there. It was about an 8 minute walk to the beach using the neighborhood access. The owners were easy to reach and were so very easy to work with- great communication! We would love to come back to stay again.

Accurately described
The property was accurately described in the listing and photos. It has more of a rustic cabin feel which the price adequately reflects. The owner was very responsive and engaged with us during our stay. There is a view of the ocean from the screened porch which is nice. The property and area is also surrounded by gorgeous Georgia pines adding to the woodsy feel of the place. The beach access is a bit of a walk down the dirt/sand street (the roads in the community are not paved), but the beach is quiet and lovely.
