Thank you for considering our beautiful house on Carrabelle Beach for your family's next vacation escape. We built the 'White Pelican Cottage' for our family to be able to enjoy a safe, relaxing, and fun getaway from the stresses of city and work life.

Whether it's just laying out on the sugar-white sandy beach, building sandcastles with the kids or taking long barefoot walks, we know that your family will find that same relaxation and togetherness that our family enjoys so much.

Families with young children will especially enjoy the safety of the normally calm waters and the overall privacy of Carrabelle Beach. New, first time, visitors to Carrabelle Beach frequently claim that they did not even realize that such a beautiful and undeveloped place still existed in Florida....We explain that is why they call this part of Florida, the "Forgotten Coast"!

As you enter the house, you will see that the house was designed to take full advantage of the beautiful views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Wide, wall-to-wall windows expand across th entire beachside of the house.

It will be obvious that the house is certainly modern in its appointments, but it has a very relaxed ambiance and a very inviting southern coastal cottage design and feel. With its upscale interior decorating and southern beach house style, you may feel as if you are walking through the pages of a Coastal Living Magazine.

On the main floor, the super spacious great room area is the heart of the home. This huge room has 10' ceilings and stunning heart pine floors. The room is over 40 feet long by about 30 feet wide and includes the kitchen and dining areas as well as a home theater area. Large wall-to-wall windows flood this space with natural light and offer panoramic vistas of the Gulf of Mexico and our two barrier islands, Dog Island and St. George Island.

Sitting in the rocking chairs under the ceiling fans on the screened porch, located just outside of the great room, is the definition of "chilling at the beach". Morning coffee, afternoon naps on the outdoor sofa, evening story telling, relaxing with a great beach read , etc., are all perfect screened porch activities!

When not playing on the beach or chilling on the screened porch, guests can stay entertained with 2 separate home theater setups. Both of these setups have large flat-screen TVs with surround sound speakers. Adults can enjoy their favorite movies and sports on the main level in the great room area, while the kids can go upstairs to the media/bunk room for their own TV watching and gaming, etc.

In addition to the 2 home theater setups, all bedrooms are equipped with flat-screen smart TVs. All TVs have all of the popular streaming apps such as Netflix, YoutubeTV, ESPN, etc.

The home's extra-large kitchen is well-equipped and is a chef's delight. (in fact, the kitchen can easily accommodate 2 chefs!).It is complete with all modern appliances, ultra nice cooking utensils, plenty of plates, etc. You can be sure that you will have plenty of room to prepare and serve huge meals for your hungry vacationing clan.

For outdoor cooking and entertaining, there is a Weber gas grill and a Weber Charcoal grill located down on the parking level below the house. There is a large fish cleaning table in that area, too.

A baby crib and two extra twin sized mattresses are available if needed for babies and extra kids, etc.

As sun goes down, guests can gather around the outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows, tell stories, or just enjoy the beauty of the starry skies above.

If you crave adventure beyond the beach, Carrabelle and its surrounding area offer a variety of activities to suit every interest. From fishing charters and kayaking to exploring nearby State Parks and nature trails and historical sites, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. If golf is your game, you will find a very challenging professional course at St. James Bay, just a 5 mile drive east of Carrabelle. One thing you can be sure of though, there will never be any crowds or traffic to deal with at Carrabelle Beach! Potential guests should be aware that those who are drawn to the typical crowded and rowdy college spring-break beach destinations will be very disappointed with the low-key nature of Carrabelle Beach and local surrounding areas.

We invite you to come and experience the awesome beach getaway that our beach house offers you and your family. With its coastal charm, modern comforts, and incredible quiet and private location, this unique vacation destination promises an unforgettable escape for your family. Book your stay today and make memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you!
