Peaceful getaway!
We had a perfect stay at Marsh Beauty! It was a little slice of peacefulness nestled in a beautiful setting. We had deer come to graze nearby and were close enough to a gorgeous, isolated beach. We found great restaurants not too far away. The communication from the host was great, and the cottage is decorated beautifully and comfortably! We will be back for another visit. This was a gem of a find!

Quiet Retreat
My husband and our dogs had a lovely relaxing getaway in this cottage! We saw a deer through the picture windows, strolled the quier beach and saw dolphins, and felt completely at home. We also enjoyed eating at Angelo's seafood plac3 just a short drive away. We feel refreshed!

A very nice natural setting for this beachy feel cottage. We watched deer in the backyard and played many games there with our family. Very close to parks with hiking trails and beaches. Fishing and swimming.

Quiet and peaceful
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.

I loved this place! If you love nature and being partially off the grid this is the place for you! I loved the house so perfectly costal southern! So reminded me of growing up in the southern coastal area’s. Fantastic local merchant’s seafood markets- restaurants all of the Marine research going on in the area hopefully it will stay in its natural settings an remain a wonderful place to connect with nature.

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 :)

relaxing getaway between forest and beach
A few blocks from the beach and at the edge of a state park, the house is a great place for quiet relaxation.
It was beautifully decorated, very stocked on what was needed for a great stay. Internet was very good, plenty of inside and outside seating areas for conversations.
Only thing i did not care for was no shades on windows in glass porch area.
