The retro/beach themes of the house were cool. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the screened in porch. Tides affected beach access at the end of the street, but there are other public beach access available.
If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Spotted Grouper so much we stayed another day, thank you Sheree!
This was our second trip to The Spotted Grouper and we booked for next year while we were still there. This cottage has all you need in amenities and is just steps from a quiet secluded beach. It will always be my first choice.
Beautiful little treasure of a house, great location -very short walk to what feels like your own private beach. wonderful Owner/Manager (Sheree) We will be back!
Cute, quaint cottage a short walk to the beach. We had a wonderful time. Rental was well equipped. Owner very attentive. The AC went out at 7pm, called the owner and she had a repairman there within the hour. Hope to visit again soon!
First trip for the grandbabies. The beach was close and no one else was on the beach except us. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Owner responded quickly with any questions i had. Very nice stay.
The Spotted Grouper provided the perfect get away! The bungalow is spotlessly clean, has everthing one could possibly need to feel at home, well positioned in a quiet friendly neighborhood, and located in and near a nature preserve area. We highly recommend staying here. We explored the natural areas, including the gulf in a 16' canoe. So much wildlife to enjoy. Fishing, bird watching, cooking and enjoying each others company filled our days. Never turned on the tv or radio. A total escape from the rat race! We enjoyed the outdoor shower, grilled on the Weber, and relaxed in the screen porch. We hope to return next year. Sheree, the owner, was wonderful to work with. She was so kind and helpful. She even gave us fishing bait suggestions.
Clean, cute, and close to the beach! Good restaurants if you donât want to cook. Enough space for all of us and a tv in every room which we hardly turned on until nighttime. Would reccomend
This place is truly magical! You can hear the waves crashing on the shore from the porch and an unspoiled, secluded beach is just a few steps away. Clean and fully stocked, Shereeâs place is phenomenal. We canât wait to come back!
Just what we needed! Quiet beach. Better amenities than advertised. Cozy and peaceful. Owner made great contacts and gave explicit details. We're ready to book our next stay.
If you are looking for a secluded and quiet environment but with the charm of old Florida, this is your place. All the amenities you want are on site and itâs a close enough drive to other interests and activities. We loved it.
This may have been the cleanest property we have ever stayed in!! We loved the old Florida charm of the home with a great view of the gulf! Within walking distance to the small beach!
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Spotted Grouper. It never disappoints . We absolutely adore this place every time we visit. If you are looking for peace, tranquility , and the beauty of nature surrounding you then book this place. This truly is a hidden treasure on the forgotten coast.
You are almost always the only ones on the beach. The wildlife is stunning.
Our favorites are around 7PM when the sandbars start to form & you can walkout & collect all sorts of treasures.
To Do:
1) Watch sunrise
2) Relax
3) Rest
4) Watch sunset
5) Repeat 1-4 daily
Sheree is amazing to work with. Thank you for sharing your treasure with us!
We will definitely be back again.
The house was great and just what I was looking for to relax. The view was amazing and the area is very quiet. I would definitely recommend this place.
The whole process with Sheree was easy! The bungalo was cozy, a great place to relax. Good fising on the adjacent beach. It was quiet, and perfectly secluded for us. We will definately rent the bungalo again.
The Spotted Grouper was exactly what my wife and I needed, a quiet, peaceful respite from our stressful jobs and hectic lives in a large urban area. The cottage is unassuming, but perfect for a kicked-back beach getaway. It had everything we needed, and the screened-in porch with a vintage glider is icing on the cake. Two large restaurants in Panacea - Angeloâs and The Trident - just a short drive from the cottage - are superb, definitely worth checking out. Just down the road is Bald Point State Park, with a beautiful white sand beach we had all to ourselves and hiking trails, where we spent a full morning exploring. Weâve vacationed in the Florida Panhandle many times, but we agreed that the week we spent at the Spotted Grouper was our best vacation yet. Highly recommended.
