Photos and Description of the St Teresa vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 5-6)

St Teresa is nestled in the National Forest and is a private, secluded beach community. A true 'Eco-vacation'....our rental is located on Florida's 'Forgotten Coast' where the forest meets the beautiful Gulf water. Far from noise, traffic and city lights Saint Teresa Beach is like Florida was 100 years ago.

Enjoy walking on miles of white beach almost all by yourself. All you hear is the wind and the water. Watch eagles and otters. We have many nature parks nearby. Fresh seafood and, yes, there are two golf courses (one only 10 minutes away).

Exclusive and Private Property. Two story 1600 sq ft beach house located on the water with central AC/Heat, on the gulf, fully furnished. Property has a large grass yard in front, beach deck out at the sand dunes.

First floor features large kitchen with under counter ice machine, microwave, range/oven and refrigerator, 42' Flat Screen Hi-Def big screen, VHS, DVD, with HD satellite TV. Full Bath downstairs. Fireplace and sleeper sofa with spiral staircase to second floor.

Second floor is a huge master suite with queen bed and awesome view of the gulf through a whole wall of slider glass doors. Upstairs fireplace next to bed. 24' TV upstairs with DVD. Laundry area upstairs with full size washer and dryer. Full Bath upstairs. Second bedroom upstairs features trundle bed that will sleep one or two. Ceiling Fans on both floors.

Large grass yard, house is on the beach, with one of the finest white sand beaches at St. Teresa . Outside shower and covered front deck. Second floor has wrap around wood deck and side stairs to ground. Water and Sewer provided.

People who have enjoyed our home over the years come to walk on the secluded beach, enjoy nature all around, and a fresh seafood meal. Enjoy what Florida was like 100 years ago. St. Teresa. There is nothing like it anymore.

30 minutes from Wakulla Springs 'World Deepest Freshwater Springs' the Jungle Cruise is a must do, visit the Gulf Specimen Aquarium, and you are just 30 minutes from historic Apalachicola, and St Marks wildlife refuge.

About Stephen Metzke

I moved to St Teresa from Tallahassee in 1996 where I work as an IT consultant and run beach weather web cams for WCTV News Channel 6 Tallahassee. I have been enjoying the St Teresa area for over 50 years.

Stephen Metzke purchased this house in 1994
Why Stephen Metzke chose St Teresa

Peace and Quiet! St Teresa is private, secluded and open only to home owners and their guests. Second home community not a rental area. You are surrounded by the Forest. Good fishing right off the beach.

What makes this house unique

St Teresa is like Florida 150 years ago. Really good local seafood just minutes away. Two golf courses, one just 10 minutes west. You have a modern, well appointed home, in the forest yet on the beach. You may be here a week and only see a handful of people. Relax and turn off your cell phone...all you hear is the wind through the pine trees!

Nearest Airport : TLH Tallahasssee Regional at 45 Miles

About the Area: St Teresa is a beach side community made up of private homes owned mostly by Tallahassee residents. Only a handful of people live here year-round so the beaches are not only private, restricted to homeowners, but also unpopulated most of the time. St Teresa is in the middle of a National forest area and the forest goes almost to the water. Our water is very shallow and we do not have large waves and undertow. Our wide white sand beach stretches for miles. We are about 15 minutes (north-west-east) from small communities that have fine dining (casual) and even an Internet hot spot Bistro.

Other Activities: 30 minutes from Wakulla Springs, kayaking, shopping

Golf: Golf Course 6 miles from Property. Collared Shirts required, no blue Jeans. Nice course.

Great place for Dog Lovers!

St. Teresa is a small, beautiful, quite beach community with the perfect place for your dogs to enjoy the treasures of the sand! It is never easy finding a rental with three large dogs, but the owners were very accommodating and super nice. Our rental was clean and comfortable with a good view over the marsh to the beach from the balcony. Most days we saw no one (which is great if you have silly pups joining you). Exactly what we were looking for in our winter vacation!

Beatiful Beach- Charming Home and very relaxing. Bring Bug spray as the tropical enviroment has many misquitos and deer flies. Great for dogs - ours loved the beach. Very Private. Lots to do if you explore or go to St George for the day. Glad we stayed here!!!! We have lots of great memories.
