Reel Pelican Paradise located in Paradise village, Shellpoint Beach on the Gulf

Retreat to this beautiful 3 BR 2 BA home on a canal that leads to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Located on an oversized lot, this fully-updated home has a view down the entire canal, a large 12x26 screened-in porch. Once you step inside you will love this well-maintained, home with a fabulous layout that includes a separate office and laundry room. The large kitchen has custom cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances and shows like a model home. Tennis courts available for recreational enjoyment as well as new pickle ball courts.

Shell Point Beach was previously privately owned, but presently is maintained by the Wakulla County Department of Parks and Recreation. There is a pavilion and public restrooms. The walking and golf cart community of Shell Point is a friendly group of families who love the sleepy beach for impromptu games of volleyball, pot luck dinners, art classes, and events including the Memorial Day golf cart parade and 4th of July fireworks display – all always open to anyone. During the summer months, highly popular are both youth and adult sailing and windsurfing lessons.

The Shell Point area is a nature lover’s delight for dolphin watching and observation of other coastal wildlife. Birdwatching is especially remarkable and an active bald eagle nest is located nearby on Live Oak Island. Between Shell Point and the next-door community of Spring Creek is an entry point to a section of the Florida Trail that traverses the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and leads to two hidden natural gems: the awe-inspiring Cathedral of Palms, one of only two remaining virgin palm hammocks in Florida and Shepherd Springs, an idyllic blue oasis tucked away in the woods.

Whether you enjoy windsurfing, sailing, boating, fishing, kayaking, beachcombing, nature watching, photography, bicycling, hiking, picnicking, or just kicking back to enjoy the views, the community at Shell Point welcomes you to come experience their little nugget of quiet paradise on the northern edge of Apalachee Bay.

3 day fishing trip
3rd time staying here and continue to be impressed with conditiions of the home. Just days after a major storm and the home was in perfect shape. Tammy, the host, is one of the best I've associated with in my use of VRBO. Hope to do it again soon.

Totally loved it.
Well this was a very comfortable and homey place. We played cards outside and enjoyed the sunsets over the water. The kitchen was very nice and they had an area just for computers - all set up. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice and spacious. We walked the neighborhood, rode bike and also went to the archeological sites in St. Mary's / Wakulla. I would come back here any day and recommend to others.

Total Discrimination to disabled Vet
I am a disabled combat vet of 32 years of service with a service dog along with my 3 boys. I informed owner of my K9 and they wanted to charge additional fees. The host was accommodating but ignorant with the understanding of ADA laws/ Florida disability and VRBO policy. Property HOA management and president constantly harassed me because they wanted me to have my service dogs vest on at all times. The manager said I was not disabled and my k9 was not a service dog because her vest was not red. House is great and host is great. My boys enjoyed themselves until hoa president attacked them because she believed they were riding skateboards. I left 4 days early because of the discrimination. If you are looking for a Villages type property, this is for you.

Awesome place!
Perfect place for a perfect weekend getaway. This was one of the best VRBOs I have stayed in. The back porch was so large and comfortable. The layout of the home is so comfortable and the rooms are huge. Master bathroom was gorgeous and good for anyone with mobility issues. Food trucks came to the beach area for lunch , which was also a plus. We wanted a comfortable - low key place and we found it! I could go on and on awesome rental!

Cozie, clean, super convenient. Check in was easy and host was very accomodating. A few minor upgrades are recommended: bathrooms: exhaust fans were noisy and places to hang damp towels needed.

Perfect for a Big Bro Visit
Great home at the end of a canal. Easy walking distance to public beach and boat ramp. Everything we needed was available in this lovely updated open concept home with large screened in porch and side deck! There was even a private dock. Loved the eclectic mix of furnishings! Hostess was very responsive and would recommend this property if you are looking for an off the grid relaxing vacation!

Thanksgiving 2023
Our family needed a change of scenery from our typical Thanksgiving, so we decided to visit family on the Gulf! Rather than cramming 2 families together, we rented this property. It was perfect! We had a dock to fish from, a screened porch to watch the sunrise, plenty of room to spread out and relax... it was great. The property was easy to get to, clean and had everything we needed.

Nice Getaway
I like places like this where you can walk outside your door and you're next to the water with a dock. The home was nicely put together with a good layout. A lot of things in the cabinets and drawers provided that aren't normally at a rental. Clean. My wife is more of a luxury type and didn't care for it. So if you're the ritz carlton type you won't enjoy it so much. But if you want to visit a water community and want to relax, fish and enjoy a good time off in a clean beautiful area, you'll really like it.

Very nice property
The property was super ni e and well-appointed. The pool was nice. The only issue we had was its remote location. Nice beaches were an hour drive. Shopping and most restaurants were 30 minutes away. It would be perfect for those interested in fishing. It was just personal preference for us. But the property itself was very nice and i. A good neighborhood.

Great home away from home
This is a beautiful, well appointed vacation rental perfect for families or couples. The location was a 6-8 minute walk from the beach and is located right on the canal for great boat access. The owners are very nice and responsive and really go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. Everyone in my family enjoyed the open space and the incredibly comfortable accommodations!
