Imagine watching the sun rising over the Gulf while you sip coffee from the deck or with your toes in the sand just a few steps away. If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the busy of everyday life, just an hour south of Tallahassee, the Snail's Pace is waiting for you. You're likely to see more animals than people - sea turtles, bald eagles, osprey, dolphins, deer and maybe even a bear! In 2022 we gave our Gulf front property a complete & total makeover, everything is NEW and waiting for you to enjoy.
Bald Point State Park is just moments away with bike/walking lanes to get you there the entire way. The 4000-acre park has a beach, fishing pier and kayaking, as well as nature trails if you like to explore.
Alligator Point is a secluded piece of paradise, which is why residents love it here and visitors lucky enough to find it keep coming back. The Tiki Bar is the only restaurant on The Point which means having a fully equipped space to be your home away from home is so important! With owners who love to cook, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to prepare your meals as low key or gourmet as you want. A gas grill is also provided.
The decor is GORGEOUS and beachy. Everything from the art, to the dishes, to the linens will give you that Coastal vibe.
The Point is also known for GREAT fishing year-round. You can check with FWC to see what's "in season" during your stay. Parking is available for a boat and trailer at the house, or charter boats are available at the Marina.
You can sleep 6 comfortably. 2 bedrooms have Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms, and the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin. The 3rd bedroom also has a small desk area and TV making it a great space to tuck away little ones. 2 of the 3 bedrooms also have Gulf views.
The NEW deck upstairs has high Adirondack chairs to see the Gulf without any obstructions, and a bar with stools for everyone to have a space. Under the house is a beautiful screened in porch with plenty of seating to enjoy being outside without being bothered by any no-see-ums (don't know what those are? you will!). There's also Adirondack chairs downstairs on a floating deck.
You don't have to worry about packing linens, towels, beach towels or beach chairs leaving you more room to bring what you actually need. Wifi is available throughout and you can login to all of your streaming services on the Smart TVs.
Once the sun starts to set, you'll find many locals at the Tiki Bar at the Marina. Its a great place to grab cold drinks, catch live entertainment and grab something to eat.
If you're looking for a day trip, one of the world's largest & deepest freshwater springs is just 40 minutes away at Wakulla Springs. Surrounded by ancient cypress swamps, its a fun excursion to swim in crystal clear year-round 70 degree water, or take a river boat tour and get up close with alligators, manatees, birds & turtles. "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed here! Its definitely a must visit.
We hope to see you soon on the Forgotten Coast!
