Vacation Rental Description
Vacation Rental Description:
Our custom built spacious home over looks a beautiful deep
water canal and is located in the Paradise Village Community at
Shell Point, Florida. It is only 30 miles south of Tallahassee, Fl.
The house sits on an angle on the property to allow for an excellent
view of the boats coming and going. Most of the boat traffic is
fishermen and some are joy riders just looking. There is always a
friendly wave. The view of the canal can be enjoyed from the Florida
room with the comforts of indoor air conditioning, the screened in
back patio or from the swing hanging from the big oak tree in the
back yard. Channel markers start at the end of the canal and guide
boats safely into the beautiful Gulf of Mexico just around the bend.
The Community is gated and a code will be provided. Within
walking distance of the house is the community pool which overlooks
another canal, tennis courts, a basketball goal and the public
beach. A new extra large private dock is right outside the backdoor of the
house and has a stainless steel fish cleaning station with running
water. A private bench sits on the dock. The boat ramp is located nearby. If you are an avid fishmen you will need ice...this home rents with a very large
capacity ice machine. You will not be buying ice...just bring plenty
of ice chests. The carport is shaded and we would be happy to share
the abundants of fruit that we harvest each year from our Ruby Red
grapefruit, lime, fig, & pomegranate trees.
