A Nature Lover's Paradise - Aucilla River St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge

The Moorings at Mandalay, Aucilla River Florida is ultimate and unique eco-tourist destination – a true nature lover’s paradise inside the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge -- birding, boating, sailing, canoeing, hiking, hunting, scalloping, fishing, artifact hunting, wildflower collecting, wildlife observation, nature photography, and painting. You can enjoy the pristine beauty of the Aucilla River. You’ll love the panoramic view of the refuge across the river through the 40 feet of sliding glass doors or from the dock. Pets are allowed with a $50 pet fee and modern flea protection.

This retreat is beautifully furnished with objects collected from around the world. The 2-bedroom, 1 ½ bath home has a queen-size bed, a comfortable double size futon, and a double Tempur-Pedic bed and plenty of floor space for inflatable mattresses. The home is fully furnished including linens, dishes, a dishwasher, a microwave, a washer, a dryer, a flat-screen TV, a VCR/DVD player, CD's, DVDs, games, books and more.

The rambling yard that has 160 front feet right along the riverbank. From the dock, you are just upstream about 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico with a public boat ramp nearby. The area has abundant wildlife. Seasonal sightings include ruby-throated hummingbirds, ospreys, bald eagles, pleated woodpeckers, swallow-tailed kites, great blue herons, white pelicans, turkeys, and flocks of iron head storks. In the river, teeming with fish, we've also seen manatees, otters, and porpoises. All around in the forest raccoon, deer, fox, coyotes, bobcats, and wild boar abound.

It’s a short hop up to Tallahassee, just 45 minutes; to Perry it’s 20 minutes. About 30 minutes away is the village of St. Marks, on the St. Marks River where it converges with the crystal clear Wakulla River. At the headwaters of the Wakulla River, twenty minutes away, is the Wakulla Springs Lodge State Park, a “river boat adventure” tour, swimming, dining, and lodging. For your convenience, JR’s Aucilla River Store is within 5 miles at the US 98 bridge. A guide service is available that provides licensed charter captains intimately familiar with the Big Bend waters.

This area has a rich archaeological history. You will walk the same trails of our ancestors from the Pleistocene era. For hiking, about three miles from the house, a segment of the Florida Trail runs east and west through the forest of the National Wildlife Refuge. It parallels US 98, then turns north up the Aucilla River basin through the many sinkholes to the upper run. That segment has white water rapid canoeing.

You can enjoy a half-day pristine canoe or fishing trip from the headwaters of the Wacissa River merging with the Aucilla River’s lower run ending at the house. Nearby recreational areas include Hickory Mound Impoundment, especially good for birding, Goose Pasture Recreational Area for canoeing and picnicking, and the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge for scenic beauty and abundant wildlife.

Aucilla fishing trip

Great secluded location with wonderful view of what Florida was like 100 years ago. The house had all conveniences you would need. The only problem was the noseeums inside the house. So bad had to sleep with insect repellant. Was told the sliding glass door was not sealed properly and repairman was scheduled to repair. Otherwise great.

Stay in Wildlife Refuge

Stayed on the edge of a river in a National Wildlife Refuge on the Gulf Coast of Florida's panhandle. The beautiful home is full equipped, yet set in a wilderness. This is our third stay, and we still love it.

I love the water! With family responsibilities, I can’t get too far away. I found this little place that was on the water, peaceful, lots of nature. My dog and I enjoyed our stay and took walks along the dirt road and sat outside by the water.

Beautiful Nature Spot

The house was stunning, well provisioned, and with a wonderfullly comfortable master queen bed. It's hard to describe how magnificent the view of the Aucilla River is from the dock and living room. The huge windows plus the big picture window on the side provide the most amazing views of the river. And the entire area is full of wildlife, especially many magnificent birds. We hiked on the many interesting trails in the area but spent most of our walking time in the nearby St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. There are many trails and plenty of birds, ducks, and alligators. We had a month at this special home and we loved it. We hope to go back some day.

Nice private setting

This is our second time staying here. House was clean and orderly. No issues. Bad time of year for fishing. Saw wild hogs close to house. No alligators or otters this trip. No neighbors to contend with. Great place to go and escape everything. The online pic's are accurate. Highly recommended if you are looking for privacy.

You must stay here

Wonderful property right on the river. You feel like you are on a house boat! They have everything you need for your stay. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the water flowing to the gulf. Lots of dvd’d to choose from. We stayed from Dec. 20-25. No one else in site with the exception of two boats going down the river. Nice place to go for a walk. Boat ramp right down the road.

Pease and Quiet on the Aucilla.

House is well kept and completely furnished with some beautiful antiques tastefully placed about. I didn't see any other people around for the 5 days we stayed. I did see squirrels and raccoons regularly on the back deck, along with the usual Anole lizards skittering about. I saw 2 River Otters swim by at about 15-20 feet away and saw 2 young Alligators 3 ft. and 4 ft. long. Too many birds to list them all, but Bald Eagles, Osprey, Vultures, Cardinals, Terns, Egrets, Herons, Hawks, Falcons, Kites, Pelicans, and so on. Small Horse Shoe crabs by the hundreds, (there were a few crab traps here, but I didn't put any out), maybe some bigger ones in the river? Fishing was poor for me but, I was told up at the store that this is not the best time of year to fish the river as the water is still pretty cold. Didn't get a chance to get a river charter for fish but will do that next time. Saw NO snakes of any kind. Overall, very relaxing. A great place to escape and unwind. On the downside, you need to get past the fact that the water has color to it. The house has filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, and one other unit in a series of equipment to try to make the water clear, but it's not gonna happen. It seems fine to drink and doesn't have any odd taste, it's just not clear! If you were blind folded, you couldn't tell the difference. So that's it in a nutshell. We enjoyed our time here and will likely come back.

Enjoy the River!

This place is about relaxing and watching the river out the panoramic windows! There isn't much I can say that hasn't been said in other reviews. The place is older, but it was clean and has everything you need. The carpet is clean and plush. The displayed memorabilia is interesting and much of has really interesting details. Our experience here was during winter storm Elliot that brought rare 20 deg temps to FL. We wrapped up in blankets (plenty were provided), sat on the comfortable leather sofa, and watched the river tides for 2 days straight. And it was NICE. We saw an otter make daily rounds and saw a family of hogs! Watched more than 1 fish skip across the whole river to evade whatever was chasing. Birds went by using the river as a highway from marshes to roosting. It's hypnotic to watch the river flow, change directions, rise and fall. At night the stars are bright! Owner was responsive and supportive as we worried about her plumbing freezing. I appreciated all the little information tags she has taped around regarding how to use the heat, feel free to use the binacolulars, feed the birds, etc. There are plenty of food options and markets, including walmart, in different directions, all an easy 30 min drive. Be sure to visit St. Marks wildlife refuge - it's gorgeous with so many birds and a pretty beach to walk. I also recommend booking several boat tours at Wakulla Springs SP ($7 a person?) - it's a visit to Eden!
