Bay Dreamin' the Forgotten Coast 4 BR/3 BA Waterfront Home on Ochlockonee Bay A spacious waterfront home with a huge backyard and surrounded by natural beauty, Bay Dreamin' is the perfect place for quiet solitude or for inviting friends and family to celebrate life. This home was updated in 2018 after being owned by the same family since its original construction in the mid-50s, but we retained much of its original charm including the pink and purple tiled guest bathroom with cold tub and the master bathroom with turquoise tile and walk-in shower. The large shaded yard is about 200 feet long and creates a perfect blank canvas for designing your event. We have a 12x12 raised deck by the bay that can also be set up or expanded as a stage for a wedding ceremony with the picturesque bay as the backdrop. It could also be used for a small band stage, with plenty of room for temporary dance floor, seating, party tents, catering, etc. Event insurance may be required depending on number of invitees. This charming bayfront home is well-suited for larger groups (maximum capacity 12) and backyard events like anniversary parties or weddings/receptions. This home boasts 1900 square feet of space at ground level, so no climbing dozens of stairs every day of your vacation! Relaxing bay views through the glass picture windows in the great room and from the old Florida style enclosed patio. This home also has ice cold AC to offset the summer heat, a 55 inch big screen HD TV in the great room and a 36 inch HD TV in the kid bedroom/den including Dish Network service and high speed Comcast internet Wi-Fi. Enjoy the pristine wilderness of the 'Forgotten Coast' by using Bay Dreamin' as your home base for exploring both Wakulla and Franklin County attractions (see County websites for details). Many folks come for the fishing, crabbing or scalloping (when in season) or other water sports as the bay connects to three rivers going north and to the Gulf of Mexico about one mile south. There is a public boat ramp next to the State Park as well as Rock Landing Marina in Panacea which has a boat ramp, marina services/bait, and regular access to offshore and bay fishing guides and charter boats. Multiple great restaurants and fresh seafood stores are along Highway 98 within 5 minutes driving time. Some people come to enjoy the beaches of Mashes Sands State Park that are only a mile away down the bike trails, or take a short drive to Alligator Point beaches. Others just enjoy the quiet waterfront, feeling the bay breezes and absorbing the beautiful sunsets from our elevated bayfront deck. Shore fishing from the beach directly in front of the property; dock facilities coming soon. Bay Dreamin' has a fully equipped kitchen that has all the pots, pans, utensils and dishes you will likely need. It has a 2-car carport space out front for convenient unloading and entry whether it's raining or not. Linens and towels are provided, and there is plenty of furniture to accommodate larger parties for entertainment and dining. You must be at least age 25 to rent this property and some pets are allowed (dogs only; 2 maximum, under 35 lbs; no viscious breeds/mixes) with prior approval from owner.
