We had the BEST time! The owners of this place are amazing and so helpful and kind!
They helped us so much! Brought out the paddle board and kayak on the days we wanted to use them.
The house was beautiful and so comfortable! We had everything we needed!
We will definitely come back!!!!!
We were looking for a low key vacation and that's exactly what we got. Our kids loved exploring the beach in the evenings, climbing to the top of the crooked river lighthouse, and visiting nearby St. George island. We could tell that the hosts thought of every detail and spared no expense renovating this house. It's the perfect home away from home.
We absolutely adored the cottage, we travel often and this was one of the best rentals we have stayed in, clean and with all of the basic amenities which were such a great surprise arriving late at night and not having to worry about getting out to go shopping. Thank you for a wonderful stay and the owners are wonderful at paying attention to small details. We will be back next month for another enjoyable stay.
I have to say this property was clean and equipped with all the necessity basics which made traveling much more enjoyable than the typical hotel stay. The owners were very pleasant, tentative, and hospitable. The private beach was the icing on the cake. I’m not sure you’ll find a more perfect spot in Carabelle! Perfect family vacation if privacy is what you’re seeking.
This was our second stay at this beautiful cottage, it is absolutely amazing! The private beach is so nice to just sit and relax, there was beach chairs and a table with umbrella. The area is quiet and relaxing and the hosts are absolutely delightful. The cottage is just a few miles to the pier and restaurants in Carrabelle and directly across from Tate's Hell hiking trails. My husband and I do plan to stay again.
The cottage is recently updated and very clean. The hosts are very hospitable and accommodating. Very quick to respond. The private beach is our favorite and where we spent the majority of our time. We saw many schools of dolphins feeding just offshore. Lots of wildlife. The entire property is just beautiful and very well maintained.
The stay at this vacation cottage was one of the best. The location was not busy and not far from the craziness. (tourist haven) The beach was private and had a lot of wildlife. My family and I observed a dorsal fin, maybe a dolphin or a shark, in the distance. Across the highway is a national park for hiking. Staying here will give the best of both worlds, hiking and beaching.
The cottage was filled with everything a hotel would have, but much better. The owners were amiable and didn't bother us. I look forward to coming back to the same place in the future.

Lovely but left feeling uneasy.
We booked a 4 night stay but didn’t even stay 1 night. We were only there for a few hours before heading home. For starters the property and inside of the unit were beautiful. However, we decided to leave for multiple reasons. First, the deadbolt lock on the entry/exit door was not properly installed, therefore not properly functioning. Second, inside the unit there was a locked door only accessible from the opposite side. Which according to the electrical breaker box, it led to a basement area. The main downfall to the door for us was it being only a few feet from the bunk beds our children would be sleeping in. Combined with the already not working deadbolt I we it didn’t feel entirely safe. Third, there appeared to be a discreet camera in the tv stand in the living room area. Owner said it was a sensor. When mentioning all of the above to the owner he said we were the first to complain, wasn’t accommodating and offered zero solution.
We ultimately left feeling uncomfortable. We have used VRBO for previous trips and never had an issue, never felt uncomfortable until this experience. We have 3 children and safety is a priority, especially in an unknown area hours from home.
