Book your unforgettable One-of-a-Kind getaway at “Hooked on the Bayou.” This unique waterfront home is tucked away on a private coastal 1.5 acres with AMAZING VIEWS,! It’s close to everything, (shopping, boat ramp, grocery stores, seafood market, marina, restaurants, and beaches.) Please read our reviews. Hooked on the Bayou has the most breathtaking panoramic sunrises and sunsets off the wrapped-around deck overlooking the Bayou, Dog Island, St. George Sound and the gulf. Make the most of the Forgotten Coast! There’s nothing better being close to everything but away from everyone! This vacation home is the perfect stay for couples, families, friends, fishermen, photographers, artists, nature lovers, birdwatchers, boaters, paddleboarders and kayakers. Carrabelle Beach is less than a mile away, the boat launch less than mile away, the small town of Carrabelle is a mile away, and dog island is a 5 min boat ride! The location is perfect!
In the mornings enjoy a warm cup of coffee or an iced cold beverage, in the evenings overlooking the spectacular views while taking in the fresh coastal air on your spacious upper and lower decks with comfortable patio furniture and grill. What a great place to gather and unwind. You’ll be overlooking the bayou, bay and wildlife. It’s quiet and it’s all yours to just take in.
Inside the home you’ll find an open floor plan. The large farm style dining table seats 6 with extra seating. This home has been newly renovated with well equipped kitchen, and new appliances. You’ll have everything you need to cook, bake and grill. We even have fresh herbs grown on the lower deck. If you need some parsley or basil, it might be there for you to add to your culinary dishes.
There are 2 spacious bedrooms, a master with a comfortable KING size bed & sleeper sofa. The Guest bedroom has TWO large size queen beds with Roku tv. Each bedroom has its own private bath with fresh linens and towels.
The large living room area has many games provided under the coffee table, there’s a 55” Smart TV, free WIFI and a very comfortable lounge size couch with two captain's chairs overlooking the fireplace & spectacular views of the bayou.
The 300ft+ private dock takes you to the Bayou where you can take in the peaceful breeze, and you'll find quite the catch of fish. (Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout, Drum to name a few.) Bring your fishing pole! The kayaking can be unforgettable - (just peek at Google Maps’ satellite view). Sink your feet into the sand at Carrabelle beach (a few minutes away,) feel free to launch our kayaks from the end of the dock and paddle your way across to Carrabelle beach! On your way there, you’ll enjoy exploring through the beauty of the bayou. It's a unique saltwater open body of water leading to the sea. Saltwater fish, and many species of birds can be found here.
Carrabelle is a step back in time. It will remind you of old Florida as you stroll along in the old town.
Carrabelle, meaning “beautiful river” is a boater’s paradise, a fisherman’s dream; enjoy the miles of the New and Crooked River, plan a day to relax across the bay on Dog Island where you’ll find uncrowded white sand beaches, pack a cooler, have a picnic, or put a bend in every fishing rod. You should have no problem launching from one of the few boat ramps, Pirates Landing (< 1 mi.) on our side of the river.
Our home has a circular drive and is excellent for those trailering a boat or camper. Parking is easy, there is plenty of room for vehicles, and there is also a covered area under the house.
Come and discover the forgotten coast. It's a salty attraction, the panhandles gateway to the gulf.
Bring your boats, or schedule a charter, rent a pontoon, go to private Dog Island, take your bikes to the state parks, kayak to Carrabelle beach or take your paddle board out. (The Beach is a 3-minute drive away too.)
Vacationing at Hooked on Bayou is also a nature lover’s dream: look for the eagles, (binoculars are available for your exploration) owls, ospreys, waterfowl, our neighborly red fox and Cecil the gopher turtle.
For land lovers there are places to explore, to name a few, Crooked River Lighthouse, Worlds Smallest Police Station, George Sands Park for kids, Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, Carrabelle Bottle House, Carrabelle History Museum, or Play a round of golf at St. James Bay! Take a bike ride, or rent a golf cart close by.
If you'd like to go off the beaten path, St. George Island is 28 min away, and Apalachicola is 25 minutes away with many local restaurants and quaint shops.
If you found us, I’m sure you know that you’ll will be surrounded by two of the best and largest state parks Florida has to offer in Tate’s Hell and Apalachicola.
There are 2 kayaks for your use at the property, life vests, beach towels, a beach umbrella, beach chairs, large cooler for fishing, a small cooler to take along on the kayak, and a fish station to clean your catch of the day!
Bring your fishing poles, bring your boats, your gear, bring your family, or just bring yourself. You'll have a great time! This home has everything you need to adventure, relax and recharge, it will be hard to say goodbye.
Our family looks forward to hearing how you got Hooked on Bayou. :)
