The area is known for its natural beauty, with calming bay waves and a laid-back lifestyle that will keep you coming back year after year.

One of the highlights of the area is its local businesses, with few exceptions being locally owned and operated. You won't find traffic, long lines, or chain restaurants here. There is a fresh seafood market located in the heart of Carrabelle for those interested in cooking at home. If you prefer dining out, you'll find fresh seafood on most restaurant menus, and there are a variety of choices to satisfy everyone's taste. Nearby towns like Eastpoint, Apalachicola, St. George, Port Saint Joe, Crawfordville, and Tallahassee offer additional dining options.

Nice place to stay
The location is great! The living space in the house is great. There is only one bathroom upstairs in the Master bedroom so if you are renting with friends like we did the guests in the other upstairs bedroom will have to enter master or go downstairs to use a restroom. The house is supplied with everything you need. We cooked every meal and had everything we needed. I would stay again with family but probably not with other couples like we did

Great Coastal Retreat
Allure was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway! We loved the screened in patio (bugs can be terrible in Lanark) and the easy access to access our boat with the well cared for dock. Our dog enjoyed the green space and the small beach in the back right on the water. She even made friends with the neighbors friendly pups! We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful home and location!
This property has everything you need. The kitchen is loaded with supplies (blender, air fryer, smore maker, ice cream maker). The Floorplan is perfect for a family with kids. Upstairs master bedroom felt like a honeymoon suite.

This is one of the nicest place we have visited in the area, not too far from places to eat and grocery store. We will be planning another trip soon.

Fishing Family
We came to celebrate our grandson's high school graduation. We love to fish. We used the local boat ramp to launch our boats. We fished off the dock and caught redfish, trout, and flounder. We brought our kayaks and had a blast. Minimal boat traffic. We played games, sat on the porch, relaxed, used the deck to take in the sun, had smores, watched movies, grilled out and ate at the local restaurants. Memories were made.

Great Stay
Our family wanted to get away for a week and came across the Allure listing and it was great. Right on the sound with a nice long dock, it was a perfect place too use our new paddle boards. While in the water, we even had a dolphin swim and jump only about 20 feet from us:) You just need to be careful when you first walk in the water for sharp shells. We were very surprised and happy with the amenities. They gave us 4 packs of laundry and dishwasher detergent, where at other rentals we would get 1 or 2. The kitchen was fantastic, with modern appliances and a giant island, plenty of room to cook and eat at and plenty of accessories for cooking.

Beautiful Home!
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The owner has thought of everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. We loved the area and spent hours looking at the bay on the screened porch and fishing on the dock. Hope to return soon!

Gorgeous Home on the Water
What a wonderful stay at Allure in Lanark Village/Carabelle. Loved the house even more in person than online! Gorgeous views and fun times out fishing and relaxing on the dock. No problem contacting Janalyn and communicating with Sandy Beach Properties for any questions we had. Kitchen is well outfitted for all of our meals prepared at the home. Close proximity to boat ramp, IGA grocery store, gas, and Dollar General. About 45 minutes to beautiful historic downtown Apalachicola and about an hour 15 to San Blas peninsula. Would definitely recommend this home if you enjoy being on the water. Thank you so much Janalyn for being so accommodating to our every need! You made a great vacation possible for us and we appreciate it!

Allure
It's called "The Forgotten Coast" but our stay at Allure in Carrabelle Florida will certainly not be forgotten. My husband and I were looking for a rental in Florida's Panhandle that would afford us peace and serenity on the Gulf. We found so much more at Allure. When you enter this lovely home and begin to look around you immediately fall in Love. It is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Cleanliness is important to us and we found that at Allure. The owners are very helpful and considerate which we appreciated. They continued to share information about the home and surrounding areas. The kitchen is Gourmet, and completely stocked with all you need to prepare and serve. A cook's dream. The screen porch is amazing with a fire table that calls to you as dusk settles in. Sunset to the West and spectacular sunrises to the East. As that gigantic yellow sun rises out of the sparkling water you know this is where you want to be. All of this beauty can be seen from an awesome balcony off the Master Suite. French doors open to allow the Gulf breeze into the room. A true oasis. Carrabelle offers a small-town atmosphere with a big heart and friendly people. The first thing my husband did is get a free library card. A variety of restaurants, shopping, and excursions to places like St. George Island, Dog Island, Cape San Blas, Apalachicola and Panacea offer activities to enjoy and seafood to savor. You have an IGA in Carrabelle as well as some great small shops and restaurants. Don't forget to bring your fishing poles because there is a large dock, plenty of fish, and an outdoor cleaning station which is a plus. We would most surely recommend this beautiful home for those who crave beauty and serenity in a lovely environment. Don't forget the moon over the Gulf, it's magical. We Thank the owners for this wonderful experience and we will be back next year.

Amazing House!
This house is absolutely stunning! It’s right on the water and was very comfortable. The amenities are high end and very luxurious. I would highly recommend this property! The only thing to keep in mind is that there isn’t a lot to do in the town of Carrabelle so we had to do some driving outside of the town for restaurants, beaches, and shops. Overall, we would definitely stay here again for the house alone!
