Waterfront Family Retreat Home Private Beach and Dock. | House in Elberta
3 Bedroom House in Josephine, Elberta
This home is only available for rental to families. It is a treasured family home located on eight acres of wooded property wandering up to a spectacular 300 feet of sandy beach on Arnica Bay. This is our second home and has been in the family for more than 40+ years. We are pleased to share it with other families. Families will enjoy quiet quality time spotting deer, dolphins, herons, pelicans, ospreys and bald eagles that live all around the property. Overhanging live oaks provide shade for chilling out on the beach. The 300 ft private beach has a clean sandy bottom with a gradual slope, perfect for swimmers of all ages. A large private dock provides the perfect location for boats (8 ft water) fishing, setting crab traps, tossing cast nets or just catching the breeze or enjoying magnificent sunsets.
Bring your boat and enjoy exploring the Gulf coast water front.
In 2023 we added a deck that runs the length of the house and provides a spectacular place for outside meals and lounging on new deck chairs. The deck also provides increased covered area under the deck for extra shade areas to play yard games like cornhole and yard darts.
