About the host: Lifelong love of panhandle coastline. Passion for sharing Tha Kingfish Beach Owner/Manager/Excellent Hostess, Cape Dunes Gulf-side Community, share local area info for vacation enjoyment. Dolphin watching is the greatest pastime; deep sea fishing for red snapper and other fish off the shore of Carrabelle and river only 8 miles away. Deep sea fishing was a favorite childhood pastime with my Mother with memories which include cousin/classmate best friend, many family members, countless friends and now many repeat guests as friends. I am blessed with such rich childhood coastal memories, appreciate my parents dedication to provide meaningful family coastal annual vacations; marine life observation, birding, very relaxing! Golf, museums, beaches, dining, fishing and sunning; wide private beach with a full compliment of amenities: boardwalk, beach chairs/wagon/tent/beach toys/boogie boards/towels for sunning; dolphin watching; sea turtle nesting observation from a safe distance; horseback riding; bonfires on the beach; long walks; shelling; sunning from the beach chair; and tremendous exercise opportunities on miles of beach shoreline (bring hat and personal umbrella)!
Why this property? A truly remarkable place for relaxing, beach, walks, shelling and enjoying 'the forgotten coast'. Very private beach, lots of scenic water, dunes and natural habitat/foilage representative of Old Florida. To watch the dolphins feed/play in the water and view horseback riding on the beach while sun bathing on our secluded beach is amazing.

Saved our vacation
Can't say enough good things about Jeanie and her team. Vrbo screwed us royally and left us halfway to our destination with no place to stay after we received our booking confirmation. My wife scrambled to find a place and Jeanie responded quickly gave us a last minute rate and talked us through using zelle. The house was amazing,short walk to very nice, ocean side, dog friendly beach. We will definitely stay again.
