Perfect Getaway!
We had a great time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!! The Marsh Beauty was very nice, clean and decorated so beachy. We enjoyed the backyard with all the pines and how quiet it was. The deer and all the birds was definitely an added bonus. The beach was only a 5 minute walk which was perfect. Enjoyed our long walks on the beach every day. Saw a lot of wildlife such as dolphins, sting rays, horse shoe crabs and a ton of cool shells. Our time was everything we were hoping for, we would definitely go back.

Quaint serenity!
We loved the property. Perfectly tucked away but not far from restaurants. The coastal decor adds a personal touch. Everything was as described and expected. Comfortable and quaint serenity is what we needed and Cindy delivered.

Peaceful getaway!
We had a perfect stay at Marsh Beauty! It was a little slice of peacefulness nestled in a beautiful setting. We had deer come to graze nearby and were close enough to a gorgeous, isolated beach. We found great restaurants not too far away. The communication from the host was great, and the cottage is decorated beautifully and comfortably! We will be back for another visit. This was a gem of a find!

My husband and our dogs had a lovely relaxing getaway in this cottage! We saw a deer through the picture windows, strolled the quier beach and saw dolphins, and felt completely at home. We also enjoyed eating at Angelo's seafood plac3 just a short drive away. We feel refreshed!

Very quiet, peaceful retreat. While we were in & out without any time to enjoy the beach or outdoors, it was perfect for our needs.
We wanted something away from the hustle of Tallahassee on football gameday, so this sanctuary was simply excellent.

Beautiful location
We very rarely go back to somewhere we have been before, but this is our second visit to "Marsh Beauty." It is quiet, remote, but has access to beautiful beaches and amazing forests. Ideal for long walks and quiet recuperation from the steps of daily life. It's in a state forest, 30+ miles from the nearest grocery store, but it was just what we needed. The cottage is well presented and has all the necessary amenities. If your looking to get away from the world in an amazing natural environment, this is the place for you.

I loved this place! If you love nature and being partially off the grid this is the place for you! I loved the house so perfectly costal southern! So reminded me of growing up in the southern coastal area’s. Fantastic local merchant’s seafood markets- restaurants all of the Marine research going on in the area hopefully it will stay in its natural settings an remain a wonderful place to connect with nature.

The only problem we had was, our stay was too short! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The house is beautifully decorated, lots of special touches and very clean. Short walk to the beach, lots of nature to enjoy as well. Cindy is an awesome guest, Thanks Cindy!
