About this property

Gulf front location with amazing sunrise view-direct access on deep water canal!

Practically brand new coastal home featuring 2beds/2 baths with stunning gulf views. Located in the heart of quaint Horseshoe Beach, one of the last fishing villages that Florida has to offer. Enjoy world class fishing & an amazing scallop season, all while experiencing the slow and quiet pace of Old Florida. As good as the fishing is, there will be times you will not want to leave the perfectly appointed seaside cottage home. The wrap around deck is the perfect location for morning coffee or evening happy hour. The largest bedroom features 2 Queen Beds with an attached bath. The 2nd bedroom also features a queen bed with full bath across the hall. There is a queen sofa sleeper in the great room. Enjoy outside dining while utilizing the gas grill and two xtra large picnic tables. A gas stockpot is provided for shrimp boils. You are welcome to utilize the fish cleaning station and outdoor shower to wash the salt off! The boat ramp is just 75 steps away - there is plenty of Parking for your truck & trailer on our vacant lot next to the home. The freshest shrimp for fishing AND eating is within walking distance at Florida Cracker Shrimp & Bait Co!

The home is well stocked with kitchen items/linens. However, be sure to hit the grocery store before you come as there is no substantial market in Horseshoe Beach, only the necessities at the Marina. The Marina rents Kayaks & Golf Carts for your convenience, and also features a boat lift and gas pumps!

Hope you enjoy your stay!

Great private home right on the water

We loved our time here! It’s right on the water with views from every room. The house was decorated beautifully and the owners were very thoughtful; they provided everything needed by way of kitchen and bathroom basics. We also appreciated how incredibly clean the place was. Note that the location is somewhat remote (in a good way) so we made sure to stock up. We loved our time here and we’d love to visit again!

Great Place!

We sure enjoyed staying at your vacation home in Horseshoe. It was quiet, clean, and so lovely. We loved that the boat ramp was only a few houses down, and we could tie our boat up on the dock everyday after fishing. We will definitely be back!

Magnificent Property In Every Way!!

We've stayed in many VRBO properties in this country and others. This one, I believe, is the best. Quiet, impeccably clean, views of an aquatic area.....something that we see very little of at home....are amazing. Sitting on the back deck and watching the antics of the pelicans and dolphins was a real treat. We aren't boaters, but if you are, this is the place to be. Especially if you fish. The village of Horseshoe Beach is incredibly friendly and the property owners are very responsive and helpful. The home is extremely well equipped.....we wanted for nothing. The worst part of our visit was having to leave.

Gorgeous Home Wonderful Location

This home is absolutely perfect! Lots of french doors and windows to let in natural sunlight makes it super cheerful! I love the open floor plan and hardwood flooring is super nice so much better than ceramic tile floors! We had an amazing trip and staying at this home made it even better! If we ever go back for another visit we will book again!

Family tradition stay…

We loved our stay in your beautiful home… we have a large family and with that, your dock was the perfect place together in the evenings after a long day scalloping. The rest of our family stayed directly across the street, which was super convenient also. I can’t pick which was better from the balcony, watching the storms come in or the sunset/rise. Lol All and all thank you for making another yearly tradition perfect. #scalloping2023

February (Winter) Break

House was perfect for our family including three teens. Well furbished and very clean. Enjoyed fantastic views and fishing right off the deck. A quiet little town with friendly people (Including Captain Brett at Up the Limit Charters!) Highly recommended if you are looking to get away or get "off-the-beaten-path!"
