Carrabelle, FL Home for Rent

Carrabelle offers peaceful living on Florida's "Forgotten Coast." The community is small and quiet, but residents enjoy how uncrowded Carrabelle is, especially during the off-season. "Carrabelle is a little fishing village on a river that goes out to the Gulf, where most locals earn a living on the water," says Realtor Janalyn Dowden with Sea Crest Real Estate. The community's harbor is lined with boats of all sizes, and much of Carrabelle's tourism is from boaters stopping by to fill up on their way to the ocean. There are shops and restaurants, but most of Carrabelle's charm lies in how relaxed it is. "It's a very laidback community where we take our time; nobody rushes off in a hurry," Dowden says. The area has a peaceful beach town feel, with wide streets and sandy, shrubby lawns lined with palmettos, palms and oak trees. Dowden says the market offers a good mix of offerings.

Most homes near the downtown area are ranch-style and cottages, while a few New Traditional subdivisions surround. These homes are typically priced
