Only minutes away from world-class speckled trout fishing waters, our 
comfortable 3 bedroom vacation home is located on the Apalachee Bay 
in Shell Point, Florida (30 miles south of Tallahassee). This 1492 
sq. ft. modular home is located in gated Paradise Village of Shell 
Point, which has a community swimming pool and tennis court, and a 
public beach within walking distance. Right out our back door is a 
boat dock located on a deep-water canal, which is just one canal over 
from the boat launch. The living quarters feature 3 bedrooms, 2 baths 
(master has a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower), family room, laundry 
room, fully equipped kitchen and screened-in porch. The family room 
is a large, open area furnished with a fully stocked entertainment 
center (32" TV, VCR, DVD, 300 Disc CD), comfortable den furniture, 
pool table and bar area. The dining area is surrounded by sliding 
glass doors and windows, which offers a beautiful view of the canal, 
which extends to the bay.  Enjoy your morning coffee, while looking 
out for blue herons, pelicans and white egrets that feed in the 
canal ... or the fish feeding and jumping ... or an occasional 
dolphin that wanders up from the bay.  This area adjoins the screened 
in porch where there is another dining area and a couple of rocking 
chairs for kicking back . Our accommodations will sleep 8 people 
comfortably, and consist of a king size bed, queen size bed, 2 twin 
beds, a sleeper sofa in the den and a roll-away twin. Perfect for a 
family or a few guys who just want to fish. 

Shell Point is a small, quiet community located in Wakulla County, 
one of Florida's best-kept secrets and part of Florida's forgotten 
coast. Besides offering the best flats fishing anywhere, it's ideal 
for sightseeing and photography. Wakulla Springs State Park, one of 
the largest fresh water springs in the world, is only 10 minutes 
away. Wakulla Springs was the site for filming the early Tarzan 
movies, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Airport 77. From the 
river boat and glass bottom boat tours, you can see alligators, many 
species of water fowl, fish, turtles, snakes, and deer, in and among 
the crystal clear waters emerging from the depth of the springs. They 
also have a swimming area, with a diving platform. The St. Marks 
National Wildlife Refuge (10 minutes away), which features the St. 
Marks Lighthouse, offers a habitat for all kinds of Florida wildlife. 
(Bald eagles have been spotted here and at Spring Creek - so keep 
your eyes peeled!) For a close-up, hands-on examination of marine 
life, you can check out the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea, 
which is 20 minutes away.  Also, the Tallahassee Museum of History 
and Natural Science is about 30 minutes away, and offers a look at 
Florida's wildlife in a natural setting.

There are other recreational interests in the immediate area. For the 
golfer, Wildwood Country Club is a beautiful public golf course 
located on Hwy. 98 in Medart (less than 10 minute drive). For the 
tennis buff, there are 6 lighted tennis courts across the street 
(from the golf course) at Wakulla High School. For the fisherman, the 
fishing is as good as it gets and there is an assortment of USCG 
licensed captains that will be more than willing to book a charter 
and take you out into the bay for a fishing experience that you will 
never forget. Shell Point is a great place for windsurfing and hosts 
several Regattas each year. For the beach enthusiast, nearby beaches 
include St. Joseph's Peninsula State Park and St. George's Island, 
which are regularly voted into the top ten beaches in the world (an 
hour to an hour and a half drive).  Shell Point Beach is about a half 
block from "Dock of the Bay".  It is a very, very small beach located 
on the bay, which means that the only waves that you will see will 
be on a very windy day.  It doesn't compare to the other two beaches 
mentioned earlier, but it is very convenient and a great place to 
kick back and enjoy the abundant wildlife in and surrounding the bay, 
along with breathtaking sunsets.  For those who enjoy great seafood, 
Angelo's in Panacea (20 minutes away) is one of the finest renowned 
seafood restaurants anywhere - located right on the water. Nearby 
Spring Creek Restaurant (less than 10 minutes away) also boasts 
delicious seafood, including soft shell crab, along with a casual 
down-home atmosphere. The Landing in Panacea features a seafood 
buffet every Fri. and Sat. night. If you decide to rent with us, we 
will send you a list of all of the nearby restaraunts, along with our 
personal rating on each one. 

Shell Point is located between St. Marks and Panacea, and is only 30 
miles south of Tallahassee (Florida's capital). Tallahassee has all 
of the conveniences of a big city - malls, restaurants, museums, 
parks, airport - and is well known for being the home of Florida 
State University (FSU) and Florida A&M University (FAMU). If you are 
interested in fishing (trout, Spanish mackerel, redfish, tarpon, 
cobia, flounder, grouper, black bass ... it's saltwater fishing, so 
the list goes on), boating, or ... if you just want to escape to a 
relaxing, laid back paradise; yet, be able to venture into the city 
on a whim, this is the perfect location for you.

We appologize.  We do not accept renters under the age of 25.
