Dock of the Bay Fishing Retreat, Boat Dock, Pool Table, Pool, Jacuzzi

Beautiful canal front vacation home, located 30 miles south of Tallahassee, has all of the comforts of home and is within minutes of world-class speckled trout fishing waters. This 2003 modular home is located in gated Paradise Village of Shell Point, with swimming pool and tennis court privileges, and a public beach within walking distance. The home has a boat dock on a deep-water canal, and is two  minutes away and one canal over from the boat launch at the Shell Point Marina.

The living quarters feature 3 bedrooms, 2 baths (one with a Jacuzzi tub), a large family area with pool table and big screen TV, laundry room, screened porch, and fully equipped kitchen. These accommodations will sleep 8 people comfortably, and consist of a king size bed, queen size bed, 2 twin beds, queen sleeper sofa, and a roll away bed. Perfect for a family or a few guys who just want to fish.

Shell Point is also a popular destination for windsurfing and sailing, hosting several annual Regattas. Other interests in the immediate area include a beautiful public golf course (Wildwood Country Club), which is 10 minutes away, and one of the finest seafood restaurants anywhere (Angelo’s), which is only 20 minutes away. The Shell Point area is considered to be part of Florida’s forgotten coast. It is a small, quiet community located on the Apalachee Bay that has escaped the fast-lane development that has taken over other areas. You can enjoy the unspoiled and natural beauty of Shell Point, nearby Wakulla Springs State Park, or the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge; yet, you are only 30 minutes from Tallahassee, with its malls, nightclubs and restaurants. This is truly a fisherman’s paradise -- Fish all day (speckled trout, redfish, Spanish mackerel, cobia, tarpon, grouper, black sea bass, etc.) -- Relax at night shooting pool, watching the big screen TV or soaking in the Jacuzzi tub.  The next morning, get up and do it again.
