About this house rental
Looking for a place to relax and truly get away from it all? Welcome to Wakulla Beach! Located 3 miles down a dirt road, this coastal cottage is tucked deep inside the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge. The surrounding wilderness ensures clear skies, dark nights, and peaceful solitude.
Unobstructed views of the Gulf allows for quiet relaxation on the large screened porch. French doors in the living room and bedrooms ensure that all rooms enjoy the view of the bay. If star gazing and a good book sounds like an ideal quiet night, you will be right at home!
Our cottage is almost 100 years old and it is tiny! We have a clawfoot tub with a hand-held shower attachment. We have central AC/heat and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We do not have a dishwasher or cable TV. We do have a TV antenna, which gives great access to basic channels. We also have satellite internet (Starlink) that can be used on our smart tv with your favorite apps.
Our house is the epitome of the real Florida. It's quaint and rustic, with a great view! We are surrounded by the St. Marks wildlife refuge, which has 83,000 acres of conservation land. This means there's a host of animals nearby, but we're also a bit off the grid. Cell service can be spotty, there's no cable access, and we're on well water, which in our area is salty. We do provide purified drinking water for our guests.
Wakulla Beach is a short 5-10 minute walk away.
Strictly a non-smoking property.
NOTE - Our home employs a Nest doorbell for security.

Exactly as advertised, and just perfect! Four miles down a good dirt road, an old house on the edge of a salt marsh, so it will be just you, a bunch of herons, egrets, and ibises, feral pigs and squirrels, and--I guess sometimes--wild cats and/or gators. Comfortable beds, well outfitted kitchen, good wireless. Rustic--a good thing in my book, but if you are someone who wants to take long showers in a modern bathroom, this isn't your place. And there aren't manynplaces likenit anymore. If it sounds nice to sit in a rocker on a panoramic porch and read, write, talk... and to be just a tiny part of the nature around you, check it out. There are neighbors nearby, and the place feels very secure, so I felt fine as a solo female traveler before and after a friend joined. I added an extra day, really hated to leave. Danielle was great.

St Marks WSt MarksWe enjoyed staying in this quiet, peaceful home overlooking the marshes. The house was as described with a wonderful porch and comfortable beds. It is an older home with a bathroom that could use updating and doors that stick, but we didn’t mind. The listing was very accurate and we were there for the location.

We loved our stay, very quiet and serene and didnt want to leave, beautiful back porch views, and a 5 min walk to the beach. I love the wildness of the surrounding vegetation.
