Was a quaint little place that had plenty of wildlife around an ocean you could walk to it is very quiet cute and we very much enjoyed our stay
The cottage is as advertised and provided everything we needed for our weekend away. The beds were great and the place was spotless. Everything we needed was provided. Wonderful quiet beaches and we had a great time exploring. We would definitely stay there again.
We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed the quietness and nature, and did some fishing and biking.. Cindy is a great host and was there when we had questions. We love the laid back vibe of the area.
This was just an amazing little place! It was exactly what I had hoped it would be! It was so quiet and peaceful and was a much needed rest for the soul! I can't wait to visit again!
Super cute cottage with everything we needed for relaxing family get-away! Perfect location for enjoying time on beach. Owner was very easy to communicate with! We would rent again!
Such a cute and comfy place to stay! We love the alligator and bald point area, and we really enjoyed this cottage. It is very private, and has everything that you need. We also really loved all of the windows!
This is such a beautiful place! The owner is absolutely amazing. We had such a great weekend. House was clean and very comfortable. So charming! Definitely recommend staying here!!!!
Very quiet, peaceful retreat. While we were in & out without any time to enjoy the beach or outdoors, it was perfect for our needs.
We wanted something away from the hustle of Tallahassee on football gameday, so this sanctuary was simply excellent.
A very nice natural setting for this beachy feel cottage. We watched deer in the backyard and played many games there with our family. Very close to parks with hiking trails and beaches. Fishing and swimming.
What a wonderful reyreat! The bungalow is cozy with a beautiful view. Just a short stroll away is the very private beach where we took our dogs for a walk each morning and evening. There were also deer in the yard in our last morning there! Such a private and wonderful vacation retreat#
We had a wonderful relaxing time. Beautiful weather and the cottage was perfect. Everything was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the beach and sunrise. We sat around the fire pit and watched the stars each evening. Just Beautiful! We will be back.
We had such a relaxing stay and the area and beaches are amazing. Property Manager was very communicative and helped us with ease. If you’ve never been to Alligator point you’re missing out but bring you’re own dinner as it is isolated. Which was just what we wanted.
The only problem we had was, our stay was too short! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The house is beautifully decorated, lots of special touches and very clean. Short walk to the beach, lots of nature to enjoy as well. Cindy is an awesome guest, Thanks Cindy!

It was beautifully decorated, very stocked on what was needed for a great stay. Internet was very good, plenty of inside and outside seating areas for conversations.
Only thing i did not care for was no shades on windows in glass porch area.
We found the house to be very comfortable and wonderfully stocked and decorated. Super cute and local without feeling overly personalized. It was a short walk to the shore for lovely walks along the beach, and we loved the privacy of the location. The only others we saw were a pair of deer and some tree frogs :)
I loved this place! If you love nature and being partially off the grid this is the place for you! I loved the house so perfectly costal southern! So reminded me of growing up in the southern coastal area’s. Fantastic local merchant’s seafood markets- restaurants all of the Marine research going on in the area hopefully it will stay in its natural settings an remain a wonderful place to connect with nature.
We very rarely go back to somewhere we have been before, but this is our second visit to "Marsh Beauty." It is quiet, remote, but has access to beautiful beaches and amazing forests. Ideal for long walks and quiet recuperation from the steps of daily life. It's in a state forest, 30+ miles from the nearest grocery store, but it was just what we needed. The cottage is well presented and has all the necessary amenities. If your looking to get away from the world in an amazing natural environment, this is the place for you.
We had an awesome experience. This place is quiet, peaceful and away from the noise of everyday life. There is forest and beach. Don’t expect lots of activities in the area. You’ll need to travel 25 miles in any direction to find a grocery store. The decor is lovely and the cottage is well stocked with all you might need.
Place was decorated cute but we found several bugs and did not stay at the property. I am still fighting with VRBO to get my refund. Host was very nice and understanding.
