We ask our potential guests to tell us a bit about themselves in their booking request as we are private owners and personally manage our rental. At 1500 ft.², we are “cottage sized”, perfect for small families or couples. Our home is not suitable for three adult couples due to size and shared facilities.
Our gated community - The Plantation - offers a lengthy 5-mile quiet stretch of private beach, 12 miles of paved bike/walking paths, access to fishing at Bob Sikes’s Cut, lush native vegetation and open forest, plus a Clubhouse where you can enjoy a 70’ swimming pool, tennis court, and fitness room. The primary beach access boardwalk and public parking is adjacent to the Clubhouse. Our home is a short walking distance (1.5 blocks) to the Clubhouse.
Plantation amenities also include a second swimming pool, tennis court, and small clubhouse, as well as three pickle ball courts and a newly constructed boardwalk/kayak launch across from Resort Village parking lot.
GATED ENTRANCE - There is 24/7 on-site security with a guardhouse gated entry-point. A completed, signed Plantation Rental Agreement, including names of all guests, is required for entry. The gate pass is included in your VRBO payment under Property Fees and covers the cost of all Plantation amenities.
We request the number of ALL guests be included in your booking request. Please also note we require guests sign our personal basic contract and submit a fully refundable $150 security deposit.
Our unique ONE-STORY residence is a wonderful choice for a relaxing vacation!
We offer a slice of ‘Old Florida’ and privacy on a 2.5 acre bayfront double lot with wonderful views, your very own dock with a KAYAK LAUNCH and SHALLOW water boat slip suitable for “flats boats” only. We have one of the few kayak launches in The Plantation. Our launch provides perfect access to Apalachicola Bay for paddling, exploring, and fishing.
Our open floor plan residence has a warm, inviting atmosphere with comfortable living-room furnishings (two custom sofas), a very well-equipped and updated gourmet kitchen, vaulted living-room ceiling, hardwood/tile flooring, plus high-speed 20/1.5 bonded connection internet (fastest available speed on island).
The four TVs each have Roku players streaming free Netflix, HBOMax, Acorn, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Peacock, PBS-on demand, and Kanopy. We have a 42”, 40”, and two 32” flatscreen Samsung TVs. Guests are able to access their personal subscription services ie Apple TV, BritBox, Sling, Paramount, etc. via the Roku device.
We directly overlook Apalachicola Bay from our wraparound deck and screened porch, with multiple sliding glass french doors offering views in every direction. Breathtaking sunsets! It has the best of both worlds - bayside views with cove fishing, but only a short stroll to the beach. When the ocean side waves are high, you can hear the pounding surf at our house.
We are situated on a secluded natural site with landscaped front and side lawns. The backyard lot has a mowed 'shortcut' walking path that ties into Lark Lane, one block from the Plantation clubhouse and beach access. Birdwatching and stargazing are both excellent here. Only three other homes are located off Bayview Drive.
This is our family's cozy island retreat, our "home away from home", not a basic rental unit. We kindly ask that guests treat our home as they would their own.
Saturday to Saturday rental only, all linens and departure day cleaning included in rate.
We have a 150’ long boardwalk extending over native wetlands to our private dock, with a shallow water "flats boat" slip. The dock also has a step down 4' x 8' kayak launch platform with railings to assist in entry/exit from your boat (see photo). Kayak fishing is excellent in the shallow All Tides Cove. Kayaks are NOT included with home rental.
We keep a crab trap at the ready and fish directly from our dock - we catch redfish and sea trout right in the cove in front of our house. Mullet are frequently observed jumping too! Kids can enjoy watching small fish and crabs move about under the dock.
***Water levels at the dock ebb and flow with the tides, typical V-hull boats will not be able to access the boat slip during low tide.***
There is an excellent public concrete boat ramp next to the bridge and several less developed sand/oyster shell ramps on the island for launching your V-hull boat. Two of the more primitive ones are located on the far end of the island at the state park (fee).
The two delightful bike paths extend the length of The Plantation, we HIGHLY recommend you bring or rent additional bikes for the whole family.
NO DOGS permitted except for monthly winter rentals, regardless of weight or breed. Please do not request special permission to bring "small" dogs.
* Two Queen bedrooms (Minka-Aire ceiling fans), 1 twin “KIDS” bedroom. All bedrooms have double sliding glass doors leading to the wrap-around deck and the living room has double and triple sliding glass doorways, all with great vistas.

She has thought through all the amenities to make it a comfortable, enjoyable stay.Appliances make in home cooking easy, multiple trails to stroll or bike provide nature walks, the dock gives your own kayak launch and the path to the beach and club house is a real treat.

Wonderful property with loads of extras! Super comfy and exactly what we were looking for to accommodate our family for this vacation! To start, host was extremely helpful and generous with check in procedures, suggestions for our outings/dining and was always quick to respond with to any questions.Once we arrived, we were thrilled with the accommodations and the property itself. The house felt secluded because it was tucked back into the cove, but the pool and beach were easily and quickly accessible with a 5 minute bike ride. (We rented bikes and kayaks for the week - highly recommend!) The dock and kayak launch were perfect for early morning fishing excursions. The master bedroom suite was a nice surprise. Located on the opposite side of the living area from two additional bedrooms, it gave just the right amount of privacy while not feeling too far away from everyone else. Bedrooms 2 and 3 shared a unique bathroom set up with two toilets and one shower separated by doors - Jack and Jill style. Perfect for our kids! The kitchen! If you like to have all the amenities and more of home to cook with, this kitchen is for you! We were very pleasantly surprised at how well stocked it was. Crockpot, mixing bowls, blender, espresso machine, air fryer, and so much more! We were able to comfortably and easily prepare meals on nights when we did not want to go out for dinner with no issues at all. Cannot wait to come back to this amazing “home away from home”!

I had an enjoyable stay. Great communication and the property was as advertised. Fantastic assortment of kitchen utensils and dishes and pots and pans. Everything was organized and clean. Homey feel. Lots of outdoor seating. Nice to see the birds visiting the full bird feeders. My extended family convened for a sunset viewing across the bay from the dock. We had a great time!
