Close to the beach (1 min drive, 10 min walk). Mashes Sands Beach is just a short walk from the house. It offers a beautiful, small beach and a fishing pier. The beach is located on the bay and it's calm shallow waters offer safety for small children and a great opportunity for shelling. This 3 bedroom vacation home in Florida's beautiful forgotten coast. The living room front porch is facing South with a lovely view of the bay and sunsets over the water. The house is on a deep water canal with a shared boat dock. The county boat ramp and public beach are only blocks away.
From the moment you arrive, you will know you entered pure luxury. The 3rd floor also boasts an incredible private porch deck off the master bedroom. A gourmet, granite kitchen awaits you on the 2nd floor with high end appliances and everything you'll need for your time away.
Need a break from all that fun in the sun? How about an afternoon in quaint Carrabelle or Apalachicola, with its cute shops and awesome oysters! Those are just a short drive west along the gulf, but if you'd prefer to stay even closer to the house, there are glass bottom boat tours or take the kids to the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab where they can enjoy the touch tanks and see the gulf wildlife right before their very eyes!
You'll have had a full day, but if you decide to head out for dinner, rest assured, you're in good hands. Locally caught seafood is prepared in the many fine restaurants located in Panacea, Carrabelle, and Apalachicola. If you prefer to cook it yourself, fresh shrimp, oysters, and the catch of the day are available in the seafood houses dotted along the coast.
