About this property

Gulf Views From Front Porch!! Pet-Friendly Cottage with Kayaks & Community Pool

If you long for the "good old days" when going to Florida beaches meant time with family, boating, fishing and exploring, we have the place for you. We refer to this area as "the Forgotten Coast". The reason is, that this part of Florida remains mostly undiscovered by the masses. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath coastal cottage is the perfect getaway. Wildlife abounds and the views go forever. You will enjoy the easy lifestyle of SummerCamp Beach. We feature resort like settings that include boardwalks, large community pool, and sandy beaches.

You will feel like you are the only one here. Our lovely home provides every amenity that you would expect in a vacation rental. Our soaring ceilings offer plenty of sunshine, highlighting the coastal theme throughout the home. As owners, we live in the neighborhood, and are minutes away from helping you with any need you may have on your vacation. We can offer excellent recommendations for restaurants, places to explore, golfing, fishing, biking and hiking. We love it here, and know you will as well. We offer a personal touch and truly work to make your vacation special.

We've included 2 single sit-on top kayaks for you to use during your stay. Paddles and life jackets are included. Climb aboard your kayak and paddle your way closer to nature than you ever thought possible. Smell the salt in the air, feel the warm water on your skin as you glide through the clear, shallow protected waters of the gulf, viewing sea life hands on!

We love dogs and would be happy for yours to join us during your stay. There is a pet fee based on the length of your stay. When inquiring or booking, please let us know if you are bringing a dog and if so, what is the size and breed of the dog(s). 2 dogs maximum.

Our screened in front porch provides the perfect setting to enjoy your morning coffee, while taking in the scene. Our beaches here are rustic and natural. At certain times during the year there may be seaweed that washes ashore and may decrease the amount of beach that is exposed. Our low tides make for excellent exploring opportunities. You can search for shells, see fish and other sea life as you wade in ankle deep water. It is truly an amazing experience. If you have had enough of fast paced Florida, be sure to check us out. Life is slow here. We can't wait to show you around.

Nice place
Very nice home to stay in. Wasn’t impressed with the pool area as a lot of the furniture was very old and pool wasn’t very clean. Other than that very nice stay. We did loose a pool day when they changed the code without informing us.

Love this place
This is the third year we’ve stayed at Summer Camp, second year at this house. We love it! Can go to the pool every day, St George Island to fish, Carrabelle for seafood from Millender to cook at the house…we made the trip to Appalachicola this year - cute town, great shops and restaurants. This is just a great place to escape to. 😊

Our Favorite Vacation
I just can’t imagine a future summer not visiting Summer Camp Beach! Everything about this place is amazing. This isn’t your typical beach - and might not be for everyone - but if you want to really relax, this is the place!

Wonderful vacation
Everything about this property and vacation were perfect! The neighborhood was quite and not crowded, my favorite most peaceful time was enjoying the beach as the tide went out. The front porch was great also! The subdivision was great to walk my dog and she loved our nice walks! I’m already talking to Erika about a time when I can return, she is a great property manager!

Beautiful Home!
Everything was as advertised in this beautiful home. We were able to enjoy walks on the beach, grilling meals outdoors and relaxing each morning with coffee on the screened in porch. The owners were super responsive, and left plenty of recommendations that were all excellent. Great place to stay, can recommend enough!

A Re-set From Life
Just what we needed, my daughter, son-in-law, and myself. This home was great, the community so peaceful, and the natural beach was absolutely gorgeous. We almost felt we were alone on a deserted island as we walked the beach. The host and contact person were very quick to respond to anything we needed. Look forward to staying here again!

Perfect quiet getaway!
We came for Thanksgiving week with our kids an pups. It was a great week of quiet and relaxation. We did head to St George Island for a bit more "typical" Florida beach experience but it was nice to have the beach walkable from the house!

Reuniting with family
Home very well appointed. Location superb. I cooked dinner and brunch for visiting family members. The kitchen had everything I needed. Interesting selection of books on coffee table. Beds not so comfortable for us. 76 and 93 year olds. You may or may not know about large ants. Saw a couple in the kitchen. I would hang a sun blocking screen on the East porch window.

Peaceful Retreat
We enjoyed our stay at Summer Camp Beach. It was a nice getaway with very few tourists. The house was perfect with plenty of natural light. The beach was disappointing but that is nature's fault. Our stay was about a week after the hurricane. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks, though they are quite heavy. We also loved watching the sunrise from the screened in porch and listening to the birds. The pool is also quite lovely and we made use of that as well. There was some construction going on in the area but it didn’t really bother us. Thanks for a great week!

Great spot for a getaway
This was our second time staying in Summer Camp Beach and we loved it. It is such a great location, away from everything. There is a lot more activity (i.e. construction of new houses as Summer Camp gets bigger) than there was last year but it’s still secluded and slow paced. The windows in the house are great - we hardly heard the construction. If you’re looking for a place with lots of things to do and entertain you and places to eat, this is not for you!! If you want somewhere to just be and enjoy your surroundings, this is for you. 😊

Great Family Stay
The house was as described and perfect for our family of 5. It had everything we needed for the week. The pool on the property was fantastic and we had it to ourselves most of the time. The beach area was a bit less than what we expected but during low tide the kids loved searching for shells and sea creatures. We would definitely book this house again!

Loved this house, beach area, and community
We loved our stay at the Sea Monkey! This area is different than anywhere we’ve ever stayed. We loved the quietness of the beach. The house and everything described is just as it is in real life. Erika was an amazing host and communicated everything that we needed to know. We will be back to this house in the future. 😊
