WATERFRONT Home - Dolphins, Sunsets, Fishing, Kayaks, Canoe, Wildlife

One of the newest built homes on Live Oak Island. This modern and spacious 2007 1,930 sq ft 3 Bedroom plus bedroom loft home is on the water and has themed coastal decorations throughout, perfectly situated near the neighborhood boat launch and at the edge of St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. Superb views of bay, Gulf of Mexico and canals. Set on pilings with a large deck mezzanine and the main living area and deck on the third level. There is an 3 stop indoor elevator available by request for those needing assistance.

Our favorite parts of the day consists of viewing the various wildlife, listening to the mullet jump, watching the dolphins enter the bay to feed, enjoying the sunset from any of the deck levels or paddling the canoe/kayak out into the bay and canoe trails. You are minutes away from Shellpoint Beach, Golf, and the St. Marks Lighthouse.

The home has Hughesnet Sattelite WiFi for checking mail, central heat and air, washer/dryer, gourmet kitchen completely stocked with everything you need but your food (including upscale appliances-gas stove and a convection oven).

Great peaceful setting for family time

This home had everything we could have needed. Even plenty of extra linens. We greatly enjoyed kayaking all over the area as it’s nice and calm and wonderful wildlife to observe. The bald eagle catching and struggling to carry dinner to land, an osprey carrying its small dinner, a skate going under the kayak, and more. Great family time playing cornhole, basketball and board games out on the deck. We look forward to repeating a stay here again next year.

Perfect for Nature Lovers!

We spent 2 weeks in this house and hated to leave. Being right on the water with huge, fully furnished porches, overlooking the bay and a view to the gulf, was incredible. Sunset was a big event every evening. The house is nicely laid out, spacious and light and airy in design. The beds were all super comfortable. Loved the elevator. We kayaked right from the property, saw lots of mullet, dolphins , a shark , a cobia , sting rays and needle fish and blue crabs. The osprey, king fishers,and elegant egrets are plentiful and put on quite a show fishing and eating their catch. We disturbed a flock of ibis when walking along the road. The kitchen is well stocked and we had the best dinners out on the deck. Plenty of comfortable seating in the open great room. This is a home where you really felt the care and generosity of the host family. The only downside was the master shower had some leaks around the base of the fixtures (so we ended up showering in the other bathroom) and the grout really could use a good cleaning. Otherwise the house was in pristine condition. We definitely plan to return to this wonderful home!

Incredibly relaxing property! Hated to leave....

This was one of the nicest rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. I was in awe when we arrived and felt the peacefulness of the area sink in immediately, my first thought was I wouldn’t leave the premises! The view is even nicer than the pictures show. Sitting on the large upper deck, we watched dolphins feeding, so close we could hear them blowing air out there blow holes! Then saw them swimming by two more mornings. The house is very large and well laid out. I loved that it is fully stocked! No need to drag all the household supplies along, which is always a hassle at other rentals. And all the extras included, such as bikes, kayaks, so many extras to enjoy your stay. We loved the area as well, so quiet and laid-back. Enjoyed St Mark’s, Wakulla Springs, and just relaxing on the property. Cannot wait to return, and stay longer!
