Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
Love the saltwater, either on it or in it. Also enjoy canoeing both scenic and whitewater.
Why the Owner Chose Gulf Beaches
As a general contractor for 30 years I designed and built the Wahoo as my second home. I purchased the lot in the late 80's thinking that 'next year' I'd start the project, so....in 2003 it began.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Quiet and secluded street without neighbors on either side, at this time anyway.

Very nice vacation spot!

Review Submitted: 05/19/12
My husband and I stayed here with our 2 dogs. It was more like home than a temporary lodging. The furnishings were comfortable and the dogs loved the porch overlooking the wooded lot. It was a short walk to a beautiful beach. There was a storm so it could have been better but we still enjoyed it greatly. We enjoyed several restaurants on the island. The only drawback for me were the steep stairs because I had to carry my 15 year old dog up and down! Ha

Thank you so much for sharing your beach home with us Tim. Although there were a few problems with the house, due to the people that stayed there before us, we were completely satisfied with our stay. Thank you for coming over and fixing the issues so promptly. We are already talking about taking another trip next year to St.George Island and we will definitely be contacting you about renting your home again.
Owner response:Thank you Lisa and thank you for taking such good care of my home! As I mentioned I offer a 10% rental discount for repeat guests. Have a great Summer.

We've been staying on the island for the last ten years and recently found Tim's place. We've stayed in Tim's house on our last two trips and it's by far the best house we've found--convenient, comfortable, clean and affordable...easily our home away from home. The perfect place to park your car for a week and hop on a bike. We will definitely be back.
Owner response:Thank you Alicia! As I may have mentioned the 10% discount applies for future visits. Have a wonderful summer! Tim

We rented from Tim for the Memorial day weekend and the house well exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and well equipped, the location is perfectly located between the beach and the bay, so we were able to walk to both. Tim has been very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely rent from him again!

Tim's house is a great deal for the money. The house is furnished nicely, private,and just a few minutes walk to the beach. It was better than expected and the dogs loved the back porch. Thanks for sharing your house Tim, look forward to renting from you again.

Tim, Thanks so much for the use of Wahoo. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. I was a bit hesitant about the walk to the beach with the kids, but that was silly. It was a nice little walk. We will definately consider your house again. We loved the beach, but the highlight was Captain Justin at Journey's who took us to St Vincent Island and Sanddollar Island. It was beautiful. Thanks again!! The Stoios Family

We had a wonderful & relaxing stay on St George Island, and The Wahoo helped make that possible. The home is light, bright, clean & well equipped with everything needed. The back deck is delightful...we could even sit out there during thunderstorms. We wouldn't hesitate staying again.

St. Geroge Island Rental

We rented this place as we were giving my Mom a surprise 80th birthday party in Apalchicola~due to the proximity~and the overflow from my Moms' house in Lanark Village which is about half an hour away. Tim was great to deal with as far as the rental and any questions. The house is on a quiet street but only less than half a mile from the beach. We throughly enjoyed this rental! The weather was perfect when we were there.
Owner response:Thanks guys! And thank you for your suggestions. I just got back from two days of maintenance, lawn care and cleaning. Have a great summer!
Recommended for:Pet owners.
