A great place to spend a month!

The cottage and area is a perfect place to relax, walk on the beach, cook and read. We cooked a lot at the cottage (went to Crawfordsville and Costco in Tallahassee for groceries) because kitchen was very well equipped. We did not use the kayaks and we don't fish but all the equipment is there for that! The cottage was great for the two of us. Big tv to watch movies on Netflix, Prime, local channels and more. St Theresa is the perfect spot to explore from--we travelled East toward Panacea, ate at the Trident, Angelo's, Hamanackers. Glad we didn't miss Wakulla Springs and the beautiful historic lodge there but especially the boat tour. Golfed in Tallahassee at Southwood, a really nice course. Although it was awesome that we could walk out the door and the beach was a very short walk away sometimes we switched it up and walked on the Carrabelle beach and many times drove to St George Island to walk miles on that white quartz sand beach too. ( P.S. we liked the walk on the St Theresa beach best when it was low tide) Shawn and Katie are super hosts and very responsive if you need them!

Summer Vacation

Great location to nearby towns. The beach access was easy. The cottage had everything we needed for our trip. This was our second time staying there.

Relaxing week away

This was our first visit to St. Teresa beach and we really enjoyed the area! The house was very nice, comfortable and what we look for in a vacation home and a short walk to the beach. The beach is quiet and the people and families we did meet were very friendly. We enjoyed Trident restaurant, the Tiki Hut on Alligator Point and EastPoint Brewery and the local fresh seafood markets! My husband did not have much luck fishing but the week away without a schedule was wonderful! Morning runs and evening walks on the beach were so peaceful! We did have a bear encounter but he was not aggressive, a first for us! We hope to come back for another visit!

Property was great everything was great. The house came with a lot of extras including kayaks, fishing equipment and beach equipment. Nice quiet area. The local beach was ok, but St George island was 40 minutes away. And offered a better beach and places to eat.
