About this property

Crawfordville Town Center convenience at the Courtyard’s Oyster Cottage

Sister to the Courtyard’s Pelican Cottage (vrbo #2683629), the Oyster Cottage is awaiting your arrival. Comfortable, cozy, convenient, and wheelchair accessible. Located Across the street from Wakulla County Courthouse, and across the lawn from the Courtyard’s Pelican Cottage, and neighbor to Southern Oaks Realty just off of Crawdordville Hwy. This early 1900’s cottage is a unique piece of history with modern comforts. Close to everything in and around Crawdordville. We love pets, but we're not currently accepting pets at this time.
St. Marks, Shell Point, and Panacea are just south, and St George/Apalachicola are one hour west. Tallahassee is 30 minutes north. Zap Zap Thai Kitchen, Taste of Mexico, and Subway are across the street, and Myra Jean's, Lex & Roll, and the Breakfast Station are just a short drive. If you love coffee like we do, try Atlas, Brewed by the Dude, or Wild Ox. They each are excellent in unique ways and serve locally roasted coffee. Please enjoy seasonal Meyer lemons, kumquats, blueberries, crab apples, pears, persimmons, & figs from the orchard. Paddle the spring fed Wakulla River from TNT canoe rental 15 minutes southeast or visit Wakulla Springs State park for a step back in time. St. Marks Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse are also close by and a popular saltwater fishing spot. Cool off swimming in beautiful clear Emerald Sink off Lighthouse Road.
The Courtyard properties are equipped with outdoor security cameras. Please reach out with any questions. We value your business and look forward to your visit.

Coziest Cottage

Perfect location for my stay! I lived here in Crawfordville for 8 years so I’m quite familiar with its proximity to a busy roadway, that didn’t bother me or my mom who was a first time visitor to the area. We loved the cottage and will book again in the future!

Oyster Cottage

Cottage was exactly as advertised. This cottage was built for people with disabilities. The ramp was wide and easily navigated. The shower was perfect to roll or walk in and didn’t leave the bathroom flooded at all. All details were thought of for comfort from places to plug in electronics to items in the kitchen & bath. The trees out front were filled with beautiful flowers and it made sitting or eating on the porch very pleasant. The home was spotless and the bed comfortable. Location also worked out well. Lovely stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Rena

Host profile image
We are a husband, wife, and two school age boys currently living in my home town of Tallahassee. We love the Forgotten Coast, and spend most of our staycations between St. Marks, Crawfordville, and Apalachicola, doing everything from fishing, snorkeling, scalloping, wind-surfing, canoeing, paddle-boarding, antiquing, and of course working to fuel our passions.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with 5 High Drive when we viewed it in 2021 with our realtor. The location is unique in that the property is nestled in the heart of Crawfordville. When the church lights are on behind us it's a beautiful seeing the stained glass light up, as well as the church steeple, and the historic Chamber of Commerce building (which is amazing at sunset, and has a mullet on the steeple).

What makes this property unique

Crawfordville and the Forgotten Coast provide such unique adventure opportunities with something for everyone. We love providing a clean, safe, and enjoyable experience in the heart of all the area has to offer. Please enjoy seasonal fruit from the orchard, and be sure to walk to the original courthouse and original jail (museum with a night time jailer visible in the upstairs window after dark).
