Quiet Gulf Escape • Uncrowded Beach • Unique Dome Cottage • EV Charger

Looking for a Florida beach where nature still comes first?

Welcome to St. Teresa Beach, a quiet coastal community where the shoreline is lined with trees instead of hotels and the pace of life slows down.

Here you’ll find uncrowded beaches, wildlife, and peaceful coastal scenery rather than resorts and commercial development.

The beach is about a 4–5 minute walk from the house.

Guests often enjoy seeing:

• dolphins swimming offshore
• shorebirds, sea life, and occasional bald eagles along the coastline
• incredible shelling at low tide - mesmerizing beauty
• peaceful, uncrowded beaches

If you’re looking for a relaxing Old Florida beach experience, this is the place.

The space

Stay in a charming geodesic dome cottage tucked into a wooded neighborhood near the Gulf. Our home features all of the essentials you need to enjoy your stay - linens, dishes, dishwasher, etc.

The unique dome design creates a cozy cabin-like feel with high ceilings and an open layout that many guests say feels larger than expected.

The home includes everything you need to enjoy your stay:

• two bedrooms on the main level with queen beds
• loft bedroom with ladder access with two twin beds
• two full bathrooms, one is in the loft
• screened porch with Gulf view
• high-speed Wi-Fi
• Roku smart TVs
• washer & dryer
• outdoor shower
• Level-2 EV charger

The loft bedroom includes two twin beds and is accessed by a ladder rather than stairs, which may not be suitable for some guests.

Because of this layout, children under 13 are not allowed without prior approval.

Beach & fishing

St. Teresa Beach offers a quiet, natural shoreline that’s very different from typical tourist beaches.

Instead of large hotels and crowds, you’ll find:

• peaceful coastal scenery
• excellent surf fishing
• wide open shoreline at low tide
• abundant wildlife

Nearby Hannon’s Dock is a favorite local fishing and wildlife viewing spot. Guests regularly catch species such as redfish, trout, and flounder, and the dock includes a fish cleaning station and hand pump for rinsing gear. It’s also common to see sea turtles, dolphins, and other marine life from the water.

Guests must use the designated beach access path less than 5 mins walk just down our drive / sandy dirt road and avoid walking through neighboring yards.

EV charging

A Grizzl-E Level-2 EV charger with J1772 connector is available.

The charger itself supports up to 40 amps, however the circuit at the property is limited to 24 amps, so vehicles should not exceed this setting.

Tesla vehicles will require a J1772 adapter.

Explore the surrounding coast

While St. Teresa Beach offers a quiet and uncrowded shoreline, the surrounding area provides plenty to explore.

Nearby destinations include:

If you feel like exploring during your stay, there are numerous other beaches in the area with their own unique vibe, including St. George Island, all within easy driving distance and perfect for a day trip.
