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 
roomy 1624 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 large boat dock (with ample room for two boats) on a deep-water canal, which is just 
one canal over from the boat launch. Our living quarters feature 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, family room, 
dining 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, 100 Disc CD), 
comfortable den furniture and pool table. You can shoot pool and watch TV, while enjoying a beautiful 
view of the canal from 2 sliding glass doors that lead to the large screened-in porch. Our 
accommodations will sleep 8 people comfortably, and consist of a king size bed, queen size bed, 
double bunk bed (double mattress on the bottom and twin on the top), and a sleeper sofa in the den. 
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 block from "Already 
Gone".  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 take a 
short ride into the city, this is the perfect location for you.

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