Property Description
Imagine watching the sun rising over the Gulf while you sip coffee from the deck or with your toes in the sand just a few steps away. If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the busy of everyday life, just an hour south of Tallahassee, the Snail's Pace is waiting for you. You're likely to see more animals than people - sea turtles, bald eagles, osprey, dolphins, deer and maybe even a bear! In 2022 we gave our Gulf front property a complete & total makeover, everything is NEW and waiting for you to enjoy. Bald Point State Park is just moments away with bike/walking lanes to get you there the entire way. The 4000-acre park has a beach, fishing pier and kayaking, as well as nature trails if you like to explore. Alligator Point is a secluded piece of paradise, which is why residents love it here and visitors lucky enough to find it keep coming back. The Tiki Bar is the only restaurant on The Point which means having a fully equipped space to be your home away from home is so important! With owners who love to cook, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to prepare your meals as low key or gourmet as you want. A gas grill is also provided. The decor is GORGEOUS and beachy. Everything from the art, to the dishes, to the linens will give you that Coastal vibe. The Point is also known for GREAT fishing year-round. You can check with FWC to see what's "in season" during your stay. Parking is available for a boat and trailer at the house, or charter boats are available at the Marina. You can sleep 6 comfortably. 2 bedrooms have Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms, and the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin. The 3rd bedroom also has a small desk area and TV making it a great space to tuck away little ones. 2 of the 3 bedrooms also have Gulf views. The NEW deck upstairs has high Adirondack chairs to see the Gulf without any obstructions, and a bar with stools for everyone to have a space. Under the house is a beautiful screened in porch with plenty of seating to enjoy being outside without being bothered by any no-see-ums (don't know what those are? you will!). There's also Adirondack chairs downstairs on a floating deck. You don't have to worry about packing linens, towels, beach towels or beach chairs leaving you more room to bring what you actually need. Wifi is available throughout and you can login to all of your streaming services on the Smart TVs. Once the sun starts to set, you'll find many locals at the Tiki Bar at the Marina. Its a great place to grab cold drinks, catch live entertainment and grab something to eat. If you're looking for a day trip, one of the world's largest & deepest freshwater springs is just 40 minutes away at Wakulla Springs. Surrounded by ancient cypress swamps, its a fun excursion to swim in crystal clear year-round 70 degree water, or take a river boat tour and get up close with alligators, manatees, birds & turtles. "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed here! Its definitely a must visit. We hope to see you soon on the Forgotten Coast!About pets:Pets allowed: dogs less than 50 lbs per pet (limit one pet total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:No events allowed.

This trip was perfect for our family. We wanted to get away from busy life and this property was the perfect get away. The house was clean and well appointed. The owners have put a lot of thought into making this home comfortable and providing all the little extras. Kevin kept up good contact with us and made sure we had everything we needed. He was very welcoming and informative about the area. The view from the porch is perfect. The sunrises were beautiful. There was basically no traffic on the beach. I saw one or two other people out on the beach all week. Most of the time, we were alone. This location was great for us. My son loves to fish and I love to sit and look at the water. The wildlife is something to see. We saw deer on the beach. We spotted dolphins, a sting ray and a shark. The mullet were jumping and several blue crabs just walked up on shore. If your goal is to swim, this might not be the place but for us it was great.

Excellent stay We were looking for a trip to fully unplug & relax and we found it! The hosts were very welcoming and genuinely want their guests to have a great time. The kitchen has everything you might need and then some. We would definitely consider staying again.

Snail Pace for the Best Place This was our family’s third consecutive year at Snail Pace, and we’re never disappointed. You can always tell Kevin and Barbara know the importance of providing a clean, inviting environment for guests. Even though the temps were hot, the view was beautiful and the town is so quaint. No crowds, just calm breezes with relaxing waves. Kevin checked in just to make sure we were good and all of we needed anything. I also love the extra touch of oj and champagne for mimosas!

Comforting Vacation This home is very accomodating. Kevin and Barbara thought of everything that we could have needed. Even down to the hairdryers. The view is spectacular from the upper porch to the lower deck. Kevin is a gracious host. He checked in several times by text just to make sure everything was good and we did not need anything. They even decorated for Christmas before we arrived. Thanks again for the wonderful stay 8n your home.
