A Perfect Home Base for Week at St Teresa

We stayed at Olson's Oasis for a week with 5 adults and 4 kids with an age range of 7 to 78. The house is very well equipped and has plenty of room for a couple of families. The location on the widest part of St Teresa Beach was perfect for our crew. The kids particularly loved the ping pong porch on the ground floor while the adults loved the peace porch upstairs overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Beautiful Home and Location

This was such a perfect getaway. Kids played ping-pong, football, made sandcastles, combed the beach. Lots of space for our family of 5. They had everything we needed for the beach and the kitchen was well stocked. The views from the balcony are amazing and hearing the ocean it night was really relaxing. My husband works in Tallahassee a few days a week so he was able to be with us after work, its only an hour from Tallahassee. We'll definitely be back again!

Perfect beach vacation!

We live in Colorado but wanted to spend time with our family from Alabama. This beautiful and spacious beach home in Florida was the perfect way to wind down, relax and reconnect with family. There were 11 of us and plenty of room to spare in this home! Each family could spread out on the separate floors and congregate on the decks in the evenings for ping pong or to just sit and watch the beautiful ocean for hours. The tides were higher in the mornings and perfect for swimming as you could still walk very far out into the ocean and it not be too deep. In the evenings the tide went out and the kids collected hermit crabs and sea shells. We saw lots of sea creatures such as starfish and horseshoe crabs. There was a pier close by that was perfect for fishing. My husband and son loved their day at the nearby golf course as well. The home is very well stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. It was so nice to have the beach to ourselves and the few locals with homes nearby; and we didn't have all of the tourist trappings of too many people or loud music. Since it was the week of July 4th, we also enjoyed beautiful fireworks displays at night. This is a fabulous home if you want to simply get away and relax. I would recommend it to everyone!

Home is perfect for time away with family and friends

The Olsen home is a place we stay at yearly. It is perfectly suited for family and friends. There are three master suites with attached bathrooms. This makes it perfect to share with other adults. Each "master" is on a separate floor to give plenty of privacy. The bottom floor has two additional bedrooms with a bath to share. The main kitchen and family room is perfect for cooking, eating, playing games, watching tv or sitting on the big porch overlooking the beach/ocean. The bottom floor has another kitchen for as needed cooking and refrigeration. It also has another family room for games and tv. The bottom level has a screened in porch with ping pong. We have so much fun at the Olson home. The property manager Erika is wonderful. She is always available for question or to help with any needs. That makes the stay at the Olsen home even better. St. Teresa beach is for those that want a layed back, private beach with a family feel. Plan on cooking or driving 15-30 minutes to a restaurant. This beach does not have hustle and bustle (shopping, rides, etc.). There is golf nearby. It is mainly a beach where you go to relax and unwind. :) We love it!

Beutiful views in a very comfy home

The sunrises, porpoises, and beach combine to draw you out on the spacious decks of the home in the cooler winter air. The immense home doesn't require you to get chilly, however, as there are ample windows from which to admire the view. We stayed in December, and as such it was cooler. The home and location are great and do not disappoint! There is ample room for family and friends. We based our FSU graduation weekend out of the home and were very comfortable with 10 people. Each room had comfy beds. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare breakfast before our days exploring and attending graduation. The only small drawback was that we arrived at the home around 10:30 after a long drive. There are no numbers on the home itself and we were a little concerned about approaching in the dark because it is truly tucked away off the road. We got the courage up to open the lock box and were in the home at no time. We were pleased from that moment forward. I highly recommend this property for larger groups!

st teresa house

The house is a very nice house with beautiful views of a quiet secluded beach. It is very spacious and the floor plan is great for a large group. We were indecisive about the dates at the last minute and the management was very patient and helpful. The bathroom fixtures desperately need replacing. I think they had been cleaned but impossible to look clean because of the terrible water stains. The washer was out of order and really all the appliances need replacing. The kitchen was large and very pretty . It did have some new utensils and cookware in it but you had to sort through a lot of old that should have been thrown away. Wonderful screen porch but part of the screen out. Some of the mattresses need replacing .The house is much too nice not to update and keep up.
