The good - the house was clean and over-all ok for the money. The bad - the house is old, and the kitchen is poorly furnished. Barely enough plates and silver to feed a family of 5. Don't even think about cooking anything. In just two days we have had the plumber out twice. It is a significant walk to the beach. Paint is peeling off the walls in the master bedroom from water damage. You have to stand on the couch in the den to turn on and off the den light. There are all kinds of issues with light switches that control nothing. Finally, you only get one towel and wash cloth per person. That's ok if you like washing. The machine is old, noisy, and small. I would likely stay here again, but my expectations would be much lower. I would also pack pots and pans, silverware, and towels.

A wonderful home away from home

My wife, our pups, and I loved Advantage Point. It was the perfect size and price for a 1-week get-away to St. George Island. Close to the beach, Close to the bike/walking path. And just far enough away from the heart of St. George to keep things quiet and peaceful. The fully equipped kitchen made it a breeze for my wife to whip up wonderful gourmet meals with all the local seafood. This was our first time to St. George and the rental agents at Fickling were the best. They were more than helpful answering all our questions, and taking all the worry out of renting a home we hadn't seen in person. Lots of great restaurants in Apalachicola...we highly recommend the Owl Cafe for fine dining and the Hole in the Wall for the freshest oysters and tastiest chowders we had the whole week.

I, We, love this place! Came here to celebrate my youngest daughter’s 30th birthday - by rest and relaxation. Perfect! Hope to bring the rest of the family sometime.

Molcie - St. George Island is amazing! We came down here as a whole family; brought the kids and grandkids along. This is a wonderful place for families! House was nice, people were friendly, and the beach was great! Thank you for helping make our week fun! The first night, we saw shooting stars! Crabs at night made for some moonlight craziness, too! Hope to come back!

What a lovely home here on St. George Island. We had a week of sunshine, salt water, and fun with friends. We love this Island and plan to come back next year. Thanks.

This place was fabulous!!! We both needed a break from our everyday lives and we definitely found it here. The house, the beach, and just spending the quality time alone was more than perfect. There really is no place better in the U.S. to visit and be a part of. It really was incredible and we hated to leave, but the memories will last forever!!! We hope to revisit again next year and hopefully many years to come..... It was the Best and something we will never forget.

Dear Molcie, What a wonderful time we have had at your beautiful beach home. Kerri and Kyle invited us to come with them. I loved the bright open windows and the great view. The beach was so nice. Thank you so much. What a wonderful treat for us.

Molcie - This week was a great way to relax before heading back to school. I loved the beach, the dolphins and the slow island life. Boy, I think I could really get used to this. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Our 1st time here. We had a great time. Highly recommend Ken as a great fishing guide if you decide to go fishing on the tours. We have all enjoyed the peacefulness. We’ll be back next year!!!

We had a great stay! Everything was perfect from the beach, to the water, to the temperature. The house is very comfortable with lots of light and great views of the water. Of course, it is steps away from the beach. We had many sightings of dolphins. We especially saw many of them when we went boating in the bay. The sunsets are spectacular! Go to Apalachicola - A cute little town! The Gibson Inn has a unique dining experience - highly recommend it! BJ’s Pizza on the Island is great pizza! (This is coming from a picky New Yorker!) Overall, our stay here was peaceful and relaxing - just what we needed!

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to our family. We have enjoyed the wonderful beach, weather, and sun. Such a tranquil place is becoming harder and harder to find. The entire area here is worth the 15 hour drive - so unspoiled and natural. Wakula Springs State Park is a nice day trip - our kids loved the boat tour! (Age 6 and 17 months). We have family in Tallahassee and had a great time with them here as well! We’ll definitely want to come back! God Bless! (Families are from Virgina)

This is the second time we’ve been to St. George and it hasn’t changed (a very good thing). It’s very quiet and relaxing and never too busy. The house is wonderful! Thanks!

Molcie, Thank you so much for opening your home to us! It was great to be able to relax after a long year of teaching. It was wonderful for the grandparents and family to be able to spend a week with our 9 month old baby. The house was perfect, and the beach was fabulous. It is great to finally be able to find a vacation spot that is not overrun with college students! We will definitely make St. George our vacation place of choice. Have a great summer! I will think of you at the beginning of next school year! Thanks again.

We had a great time! Such a cute house and perfect for a family vacation. The dolphins were a delight to watch everyday! Our kids ( 2 and 6 months) got to experience a great beach vacation. We can’t wait to come back. We saw our first sea turtle nest just three blocks from the house - very exciting! Vacation is now over so we head back to Oklahoma - hope the next visitors have as much fun as we did - tip for the next people - check out the National Park ASAP - you can fish and find sand dollars - it is the most beautiful part of the island. Thanks and Have Fun.
