Welcome to "NANTUCKET." If you are looking for a very clean, full sized home just a short stroll away from the world’s greatest beaches with a ton of privacy that is designed for total relaxation, you have found it here. This well maintained, three bedroom, two full bath home is located in The Plantation, an exclusive gated community on beautiful St. George Island. The home is decorated in a nicely blended theme of tropical and nautical, to instill a relaxed, comfortable feeling of Florida and Nantucket Island.
The profesionally designed and installed tropical landscaping will have you in your own little island paradise, as the house is surrounded by groups of tall palm trees, flowering plants, and native Florida flora. The home conveniently adjoins a private sandy walking path to the beach, and is surrounded by several acres of undisturbed natural beach vegetation, making it ideal for plant lovers and birdwatchers alike. We provide you with a level of privacy that is hard to find anywhere else on the island.
This home features a true open floor plan with real hardwood floors throughout. The floor plan is very spacious, with a large open living area with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows looking out to the large deck and beyond. The living area features very new, comfortable furniture, a large television, awesome stereo system and cable TV. If you are busy in the kitchen, you are still part of the fun as the kitchen is open to the living area as well.
The tiled baths are convenient, with one being located off the living area and the other in the master suite. Two guest bedrooms are located at the far end of the house, away from the master.
The large sundeck is equipped for ultimate relaxation and sun worshipping. If the deck gets too hot, simply take a break and relax in the palm tree shaded hammock or in one of the Adirondack beach chairs downstairs. The very private outdoor hot and cold shower is great after a day at the pool or beach, or just for cooling off. Covered parking is available directly under the house for two cars or a car and a boat.
If you are looking for a peaceful and private home very close to the beach, this is it! The white sand beaches of St. George Island are well known to be among the best in the state and being within St. George Plantation assures you that there will be no crowds. Within the Plantation you will find the Gulf of Mexico, Apalachicola Bay and Bob Sikes Cut, the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico.
Apalachicola Bay offers wonderful boating and fishing opportunities, as well as being known as the best oyster grounds in the world. Bob Sikes Cut separates St. George Island from Little St. George Island, an uninhabited natural island just a short boat ride away. From ‘The Cut’ you will witness the most incredible sunsets in Florida as you watch the shrimp boats returning from a long day in the Gulf.
At the far end of the island, just a short drive away, you will find St. George Island State Park, with its beautiful beaches, white sand dunes and fishing flats.
We work very hard to make sure your vacation is perfect. Feel free to email or call us directly if you have any questions or if you would like additional info on this wonderful home.

Map & Owner's Profile
Nantucket- Great 3BR/2BA Beach Home in St. George Plantation!
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Plantation
St. George Island is a great family vacaion destination within reasonable driving distance from all over the southeastern USA. The white sand beaches and local seafood industry make it the perfect place to relax without all the bright lights and amusement parks & piers often associated with vacation spots. Boat rentals, fishing, mopeds,bikes, restaurants and great scenic attractions make it a relaxing yet fun experience. Apalachicola is a great small city to visit, with much local history, Victorian homes, and great shopping for the ladies in the unique small shops. Staying at The Nantucket inside the gates of the Plantation makes for an additional rewarding experience, with the natural preserved beauty of the Plantation, its uncrowded beaches, and additional ammnities at your fingertips. We see many returning vacationers each year
who choose to come back to our home for its comfort and location, among other things. We look forward to sharing the St. George Island experience with you!
The Unique Benefits at this House
While staying at The Nantucket, you will be just a stone's throw from the beach, a short drive or bike ride from the large Plantation pool, tennis courts, or private landing strip for the very occasional visitor coming by small private plane, a site to see if you are so fortunate to witness the small craft coming in from over the ocean. A sunset viewed from Bob Sike's Cut, a passage that was formed separating St. George Island from Little St. George Island for the benefit of the large shrimp boats. You will see them, passing from the Bay to the Gulf and returning after a day of shrimping. Here is where you will find the best fishing on the island, all within the private community of the Plantation.
St. George Plantation, Sea Palm Village, corner of Camellia Court and Bluberry Road.
