About this property

The Redfish on the Natures Coast

This Suwannee Cove 3/2 condo in the town of Suwannee features wood floors, granite countertops and includes a designated boat slip. Access to the river takes two minutes and the gulf is reached in seven minutes. Other amenities include flat screen TVs in the LR and both bedrooms, WiFi. We also offer Netflix and amazon prime. Master bedroom is furnished with King size bed, guest room is a queen, there is a twin sized bed in the bonus room. Both bathrooms feature granite countertops, the master has a walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully equipped or you can walk to the Salt Creek Restaurant and let them prepare your catch. Swim in the pool that is exclusively for Suwannee Cove guests. The unit is on the first floor and is accessible by elevator or stairs. There is covered parking for 3 cars.

Enjoy the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico from this end unit condominium. Suwannee is surrounded by the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge so we commonly see eagles, osprey, pelicans and herons across the open marsh views from this unit. The town of Suwannee is uniquely located for easy access to either freshwater or saltwater fishing. You can also cruise up the Suwannee river to visit Manatee Springs or enjoy a deserted tropical island experience on one of the many local islands. Don't miss a drive on the Dixie Mainline road through the 55,000 acre Refuge.
Suwannee is primarily a fishing community, one small limited grocery, one restaurant open on Wednesday- Friday @ 4 Saturday & Sunday 11-9. Suwannee Marina offers breakfast and occasional Saturday night Bar B Q. Hardware store closed on Sunday & Monday. If you you are a pool lounger or have children you can lounge all day at the pool. No beaches except at some of the small islands accessible only by boat.
Since Hurricane Idalia our Channel can be challenging and tides must be watched for leaving and return times. We have a large sand bar at the mouth of the Suwannee where people like to hang out in their boats on the weekends.

Very cold January fishing and boating

The Redfish condo was everything we could have asked for—clean, extremely well-equipped, and in a great location. The marina boat ramp is only a couple hundred feet away. The only minor drawback is that the condos' boat slips were out of commission due to Helene, but repairs are in process, so they should be available soon.

Great property, location, and owners!

My wife, 3 kids, and I loved staying at the Redfish. Lisa the owner was great to deal with, even working it out for us to add an extra day that wasn't originally bookable online. The condo is very nicely decorated and well apportioned with all dishes, utensils needed, etc. Wifi and TV/Netflix/Prime Video was included for our electronic focused kids. The two queen beds were very comfortable, and the bunk room was just big enough for my two daughters (13 and 11) to share, even with their luggage. The views from the balcony were great, and the sunsets from several different vantage points were amazing. Just a few tips for others considering the Redfish: Salt Creek Restaurant had really good seafood, and Lily Creek up in Horseshoe Beach area was great for lunch (we drove the Dixie Mainline road up there for a little adventure). The Shrimp Boat in Horseshoe Beach is also worth the drive. Bring charcoal and lighter fluid for the community grills down by the pool. Parking underneath the building was adequate for my boat trailer and Suburban. Lisa has a golf cart for rent that's not in the ad. Close to great fishing, boat ramp at the marina and slip were easily accessible. Gateway Marina has ethanol free fuel available 24/7 with pay at the pump from the fuel dock, and a pump with regular gas on land. They have bait, ice, and the standard marina type stuff. My 18 ft skiff was well suited for this area. If you have larger than a 25-27' boat, it would be difficult getting it in or out of the boat ramp or the slip, especially during a busy week or weekend. There are other boat ramps in the area, but didn't use them. Also watch the tides. Low tide can make the Alligator Pass channel impassable, and McGriff pass gets in the 3-4 foot range based on my experience the first week of October 2018. These are not knocks against this property, just trying to inform as this was a new area to me, and it was hard to find local information in advance of booking. All in all, this was a great size condo and location for us. We'll definitely rent again unless I can convince my wife to buy one of the condo's for sale.

beautiful condo with all you need

Spent several nights kayaking in Okeefenokee and down the Suwannee river. Enjoyed a soft bed , internet access and a washing machine after camping. make sure you bring enough groceries or check on what nights the one restaurant in town is open if you are coming off season.

Fantastic rental, fantastic location

My wife and I had a great time staying at the 'Redfish' in the quaint little town of Suwannee. The place was very clean, well laid-out and impeccably decorated (Lisa, we loved your Redfish motif, especially the Guy Harvey Redfish plate and was delighted to find one for sale at Gateway Marina!) The pool was great and the boat dockage fantastic. Be warned, there really isn't much to do in Suwannee, so if you don't fish, scallop, boat, or enjoy peace and quiet, stay away...lol. Lisa the owner was great. We have rented many places in different locations on VRBO and she was certainly among the top three owners I have ever dealt with. She emailed or texted us on numerous occasions with information or simply to see if we were enjoying ourselves. The only small gripe I could think of is that there was no grill available for renter use. I know that they rust-out quickly in a saltwater environment, but you should probably have one on the porch. Anyway, we highly recommend The Redfish if you are staying in Suwannee. Thanks Lisa.

The condo was great, super clean and plenty of room for the 6 adults and two small children.

Lisa was great, she answered all my many questions. The condo is situated in the perfect spot to go fishing in the Suwannee or shoot out to the gulf. The local restaurant had great food at a great price.The marina next door made it very convenient for fueling the boats everyday and also had a gas pump for cars. We loved the place and hope to go back very soon.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Waltrip

Host profile image
I am a Native Floridian, born in Lake City in 1958. My husband was raised in Ft Lauderdale but born in Kentucky. We have lived in Lake City since we married in 1976. Photo is me and My oldest son. He is an avid fisherman and the captain of our boat. We have another son and daughter. My son and I dive as well as fish. We like to go out around Cedar Key where we have some good fishing spots. We have recently bought in Suwanee and are learning to fish for trout and Redfish.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for about a year for a property close enough to make weekend trips. We came to Suwannee with friends and fell in love. The people here are so friendly and seems there's always a party going on. You can walk to just about anywhere here. There is limited shopping and food but what is here is great. You can get to deep water from here but most of the fishing is in the marsh creeks or the river. In the summer when it's to hot to fish you can use the pool or take a boat to the sandbars on the Suwannee and hang with the locals.

What makes this property unique

This property was chosen for the view. Spectacular view of the marsh and gulf. It is also a little bit out of the way from the marina and other condos so its a little more quite.
