Peaceful & Relaxing

I can’t remember what # visit it is for us, but as always it doesn’t disappoint! Clean, comfortable and very well stocked! Anything you could think of is there to make your stay the best. Fishing was ok but the relaxation and down time is what we needed. Staying at Talquin Tranquility feels like home… see you again next year!

Wonderful weekend at the lake

Our multigenerational family stayed for a weekend and fully plan to return in the future. The screened porch has relaxing views and plenty of seating/tables to spend the whole day visiting, playing games, and watching those who were fishing off the dock. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, storage and serving. The house was clean, plenty of everything needed, the living area was cozy. Highly recommend for a relaxing, comfortable stay!

Relaxing Weekend

Nice, clean and quiet rental for the weekend. Loved hanging out on the “screened in”porch. It was fun to watch and hear the wildlife (birds and bullfrogs)! The owner communicated promptly when I asked any questions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would love to stay here again.

Perfet Stay and Great for Fishing

We had another great visit here and looking forward to next years visit. Love that you have boat access on the property with the 2 slip dock and cleaning station. The house is perfect with all you need to enjoy your visit. The bonus is the screen enclosed patio in the back. Great place for morning coffee and evening meals. We have enjoyed our stays here and our grandkids have a great time fishing off of the dock and catching crappie, bluegill and catfish. Great fishing this last month. Property owner and managers are great to work with as needed and respond quickly if you need anything. Great place to stay and enjoy your time on the lake. We would highly recommend Talquin Tranquility if you are looking to relax and unwind or fish and have fun on the lake.

Clean, Comfortable, and Cozy!

Our family had the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation staying on Lake Talquin. We so enjoyed the cabin, with a great big deck and wonderful view of the lake. It had all the comforts of home, super comfortable beds, and plenty of room. We brought our boat and Ingram's Marina made it so convenient and easy to launch. We didn't want to leave and definitely plan to come back in the future. Thanks for your hospitality and quick responses Brenda.

Fishing family

We have visited Lake Talquin before but this was our best experience. The home was neat and clean and the view was great. So nice to just step in to your boat right at your back door. Plenty of room and every thing you need including a nice large tub for soaking tired bones at the end of the day. The deck was amazing with plenty of moonlit views of the lake. We will never stay anywhere else when we visit Talquin. This will be our favorit place to go in our travels.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Vannerson

Host profile image
In 2018, we purchased this property from the daughter of the original owner who took great pride in her home, yard and flowers. and was an avid fisherman. I am continuing to offer the home as a vacation rental until I too can retire there and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and fishing at Lake Talquin. I am from Pensacola FL, and have been fishing here for the last 10 years, and consider it one of the best fresh water fishing lakes in Florida. I am continuing to employ the very reliable neighbors who have been taking immaculate care of the home, property, and the needs of prior guests for the last 6 years.

Why they chose this property

In addition to the obvious waterfront advantages of the beauty and serenity, there is boating and great fishing opportunities, with other site-seeing opportunities close by, like the state capital, Florida State University, Wakulla Springs, Florida Caverns, and the Gulf beaches are close enough for day outings on the beautiful white sand of the northern Gulf Coast.

Our property manager lives close-by in case you need any assistance or something breaks. The home is well furnished with a collection of comfortable furniture and accessories to make your stay pleasant and relaxing. My dependable handy man keeps the property in tip top condition, including the yards and flower beds, which is quite a task when you see the size of this lovely lot.

This home is only 40 minutes from Florida's State Capital in Tallahassee and Florida State University. Therefore, this is an ideal location for families to visit the capital, museums, etc., or visit students and attend events at FSU. Beautiful Wakulla Springs and the Florida State Caverns are nearby as well.

What makes this property unique

- Property manager available nearby to assist if needed.
- A large screened deck over looking the lush green lawn and our calm little cove and enjoy the frogs singing every summer night.
- A boat house that will accommodate two large fishing boats or even pontoon boats. It has lights and electric hook-ups to charge your boat batteries, two fishing piers, and a fish cleaning table and sink with running water.
- Local Fishing guides available for one half or full day excursions.
- A public boat launch and boat rental is located down the street at Whippoorwill's and Ingram's Marina has a great supply of fishing gear, bait, gas and fishing advice.
- The State Capital and Florida State University (FSU) is only a 30 minute drive.
