About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great sunrise view from dining area and decks. Easy beach access.

Imagine watching the sun rising over the Gulf while you sip coffee from the deck or with your toes in the sand just a few steps away. If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the busy of everyday life, just an hour south of Tallahassee, the Snail's Pace is waiting for you. You're likely to see more animals than people - sea turtles, bald eagles, osprey, dolphins, deer and maybe even a bear! In 2022 we gave our Gulf front property a complete & total makeover, everything is NEW and waiting for you to enjoy.

Bald Point State Park is just moments away with bike/walking lanes to get you there the entire way. The 4000-acre park has a beach, fishing pier and kayaking, as well as nature trails if you like to explore.

Alligator Point is a secluded piece of paradise, which is why residents love it here and visitors lucky enough to find it keep coming back. The Tiki Bar is the only restaurant on The Point which means having a fully equipped space to be your home away from home is so important! With owners who love to cook, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to prepare your meals as low key or gourmet as you want. A gas grill is also provided.

The decor is GORGEOUS and beachy. Everything from the art, to the dishes, to the linens will give you that Coastal vibe.

The Point is also known for GREAT fishing year-round. You can check with FWC to see what's "in season" during your stay. Parking is available for a boat and trailer at the house, or charter boats are available at the Marina.

You can sleep 6 comfortably. 2 bedrooms have Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms, and the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin. The 3rd bedroom also has a small desk area and TV making it a great space to tuck away little ones. 2 of the 3 bedrooms also have Gulf views.

The NEW deck upstairs has high Adirondack chairs to see the Gulf without any obstructions, and a bar with stools for everyone to have a space. Under the house is a beautiful screened in porch with plenty of seating to enjoy being outside without being bothered by any no-see-ums (don't know what those are? you will!). There's also Adirondack chairs downstairs on a floating deck.

You don't have to worry about packing linens, towels, beach towels or beach chairs leaving you more room to bring what you actually need. Wifi is available throughout and you can login to all of your streaming services on the Smart TVs.

Once the sun starts to set, you'll find many locals at the Tiki Bar at the Marina. Its a great place to grab cold drinks, catch live entertainment and grab something to eat.

If you're looking for a day trip, one of the world's largest & deepest freshwater springs is just 40 minutes away at Wakulla Springs. Surrounded by ancient cypress swamps, its a fun excursion to swim in crystal clear year-round 70 degree water, or take a river boat tour and get up close with alligators, manatees, birds & turtles. "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed here! Its definitely a must visit.

We hope to see you soon on the Forgotten Coast!

Wonderful fully stocked kitchen and living spaces, everything we needed was there. Very beach cottage vibe to decorations. Nice variety of options for enjoying the beach atmosphere - upper deck, lower deck and screened lanai under the house. This was a perfect vacation place for relaxing when not enjoying the attractions and restaurants in the nearby areas. We found ourselves awake every morning to enjoy the sunrise.

Excellent property, exactly as advertised, in a beautiful, rustic location. Excellent beach view and nice beach. Just understand, this is not a groomed beach in a resort location--you are in a neighborhood 15 minutes away from everything. This simple but lovely property, in excellent shape, was just what the doctor ordered to do nothing. The host was a great communicator and immediately responded to our queries. I highly recommend this property.

The house was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Everything was clean and we especially enjoyed the screened in area under the house. The sunrise views were very accurate and one of my wife's favorite things. We even got to see a rocket taking off from Cape Canaveral. The beach toys and other supplies were a plus when our grandkids stopped by to visit. We are already planning our next visit. Thanks Kevin!

This trip was perfect for our family. We wanted to get away from busy life and this property was the perfect get away. The house was clean and well appointed. The owners have put a lot of thought into making this home comfortable and providing all the little extras. Kevin kept up good contact with us and made sure we had everything we needed. He was very welcoming and informative about the area. The view from the porch is perfect. The sunrises were beautiful. There was basically no traffic on the beach. I saw one or two other people out on the beach all week. Most of the time, we were alone. This location was great for us. My son loves to fish and I love to sit and look at the water. The wildlife is something to see. We saw deer on the beach. We spotted dolphins, a sting ray and a shark. The mullet were jumping and several blue crabs just walked up on shore. If your goal is to swim, this might not be the place but for us it was great.

Snail Pace for the Best Place

This was our family’s third consecutive year at Snail Pace, and we’re never disappointed. You can always tell Kevin and Barbara know the importance of providing a clean, inviting environment for guests. Even though the temps were hot, the view was beautiful and the town is so quaint. No crowds, just calm breezes with relaxing waves. Kevin checked in just to make sure we were good and all of we needed anything. I also love the extra touch of oj and champagne for mimosas!

Comforting Vacation

This home is very accomodating. Kevin and Barbara thought of everything that we could have needed. Even down to the hairdryers. The view is spectacular from the upper porch to the lower deck. Kevin is a gracious host. He checked in several times by text just to make sure everything was good and we did not need anything. They even decorated for Christmas before we arrived. Thanks again for the wonderful stay 8n your home.

Nice, Private Beach Home

Our family stayed July 4th week of 2024. If you want a quiet beach trip full of wildlife this is an amazing beach house. It is close to Wakulla Springs for a great day trip. Also, close to a few great state parks one minutes from this house. The house itself was fully furnished with many extras already there such as laundry detergent, soaps, paper towels, and such. We, of course, bought what we used to get the next guest started.

Peaceful vacation home

We truly enjoyed our stay at Snail’s Pace. It was a well kept home with everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Although it was smaller than other homes we have rented, it had everything we needed to cook meals and feel comfortable. The front deck was the perfect place to watch the sunrise and my kids enjoyed spending time in the screened porch in the evenings. The twin bedroom did stay warmer than the other rooms but we grabbed a fan from the dollar store and that helped a lot. The beach was never crowded and we loved walking along the shore in the mornings and evenings. I would definitely stay here again.

It was perfect! the hosts were awesome and even told us of a Rocket launch from Kennedy space station that we could see from the deck! the house was amazing super clean and had literally everything we needed like beach towels chairs and toys etc... it was quite and relaxing we spent most our time at the beach or on the deck we even saw dolphins swimming by. it is a tad far from things like stores and restaurants, but this was no issue for us. It would have been nice to have a vacuum on hand to combat the sand, but the provided broom worked just fine. 10 out of 10 would stay again.
