Wakulla River Retreat- Manatee Cottage

Relax, Unwind, Rejuvenate. Wakulla River Hidden Cottage is a lovely 2 bedroom/1 bath and nature lover’s retreat. The cottage is nestled on a partially wooded lot and is just a 4-minute walk to the gorgeous spring-fed Wakulla River, to the park, boat ramp, and community dock. A large screened porch runs the length of the cottage and a wide kitchen window overlooks the lovely private back yard.

Explore the river in a comfortable Old Town canoe (with seat backs and cup holders). The canoe is available to rent from us for a reasonable rate. Or relax at the house in front of a large screen smart tv and watch movies on a rainy day. Grill out or read a book under an umbrella on the back yard deck or walk the wooded neighborhood. Enjoy the private backyard and the colorful perennial flowers and garden spot.
Start your day with coffee or morning meditation from a private deck that sits just off of the kitchen, high among the trees, and overlooks a wooded walking path that winds through the woods along the side of the cottage.

You will love this sweet cottage and will return home after your visit renewed and refreshed! The cottage is so close to a plethora of parks, places to paddle and hike, the coast and is just 20 minutes from south Tallahassee.

Wonderful Stay!
What a wonderful cottage! The host, Sarah, went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. The cottage is located in a great location close to many hotspots for birding and nature exploring. Upon arrival we were greeted with delicious homemade muffins and fresh eggs that came from the neighbor’s chickens. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It was fully stocked with all the necessities and much more. A canoe & kayaks were available for our use but unfortunately we ran out of time to use them. We very much enjoyed sitting on the porch at night and listening to the owls. We are looking forward to another stay here in the future!

Streamlined informative check-in
Nice property that has spacious quarters in good weather re: lovely screened in porch. Owner gave excellent directions to the home. Homemade pastries greeted us. Note to VRBO in general and not to this owner in particular: the high cleaning fees PLUS check-out cleaning instructions make VRBO less competitive with hotels.

Quiet and comfortable
This property is outstanding. We heard Barred Owls in the evening while relaxing on the amazing screened in front porch. The neighborhood is very quiet and is close to great attractions like St Mark’s NWR/lighthouse, Wakulla Lodge, andSt.Mark’s/Tallahassee bike trail. The host is very interested in her guests’ experience. Would recommend.

Seclude, very homey and very short walk to Wakulla River
Stayed for 3 nights for a short vacation. Was greeted with homemade muffins, a very clean, comfortable and well stocked home which had everything we needed including fresh eggs for breakfast. We enjoyed the large front porch and loved the dock and swimming area a 4 minute walk from the front door. Saw the neighborhood deer many times to top it off. Would recommend and stay here again ourselves.

Wakulla Vacation
Property was nicely appointed and well-equipped. Neighborhood was quiet and very walkable. Sarah was a great host and was always responsive to any questions we had. Property was close to amenities and conveniences, such as grocery stores and restaurants. Also close to parks, especially St Marks NWR. Nice to see manatees at the community dock. Hated to leave, can't wait to go back.
