About the host
Hosted by Bob Vannerson
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.
