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.

Beautiful location
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.

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!

Cute and private
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 :)

Brilliant location
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.

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.
