Guest Testimonials

We celebrated the New Year with our family as the first guests at Wakulla Springs Retreat. We enjoyed the peace and quiet for the week. It certainly helps to remember what is really important in life when things slow down a bit.

Ashley, Jessie and family.
Sugar Land, TX

We had a wonderful experience exploring this section of “old Florida”.

Highlights:
Boat ride and Wakulla State Park – alligators, manatees, many birds. Highly recommend this tour

Captain Mike McNamara in the town of St. Marks will provide a comprehensive boat tour of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. From his boat, we were able to photograph many birds, most notably, the Bald Eagle, both perched and in flight. Porpoises visited and followed the boat. Mike is also a fishing guide.

Walking path around the ponds at the light house in the Refuge:
Many waterfowl, most notably, Redheads and American Wigeon.

Posey’s Seafood Restaurant on the waterfront in Panacea-very good

Visitor’s Center in the Refuge has maps and books available.

We had a great stay- saw and photographed more than 45 different bird species.

Thanks for your hospitality!

- "Cute house. Close to marinas." - "We stay in the Lake Talquin area frequently. This was our first time at this property. It was very clean and smelled nice and fresh. The bed was very soft. If you need a firm bed this is not the place for you. We arrived at at night. It was very dark and raining. There were no lights on and that made it difficult to see the driveway and determine where the entrance door was - not by the driveway. Once we made it inside we could tell it had just been remodeled. It is very nice but only had basic supplies. Considering we were only staying for a weekend it had everything we needed. The driveway is steep but paved so we didn’t have any issues."

In the late 1800’s this historical location was a stagecoach stop. Horses rested and passengers refreshed prior to continuing on the westward journey.
Over a century later this continues to be a location for those seeking peace and serenity.

- "Very clean and very friendly. Rested extremely well. We were left fresh eggs and other things that we really enjoyed. Very sweet owners." - "This little farmhouse has it all; the property is spacious, charming, and full of fun surprises. The fresh eggs, homemade wine, and chickens were the highlights of our stay. The residence was clean and comfortable. We would definitely visit again!" - "My husband, my kids and I LOVED this home! The owners left tons of wonderful goodies! We especially loved the wine and access to the garden! I’ve been to a lot of Vrbo homes with my sisters softball and work trips and this was by far one of my favorites Beautiful place!! Super clean and so spacious! The two beds were upstairs in a great room with a pretty folding divider which was perfect for our little family! Highly recommend this home for your stay!"
