About Dana McKinney
My family has been vacationing on St. George Island since 1967. We would get invited to go to the island by friend's and I thought it was boring because there was nothing to do but pick up shells,fish,swim and walk on the beach! I grew up and went away to college but my family would meet in Tallahassee and all go to the island each year. I got married (on the island) and moved to the West coast in 1983 but traveled every year to meet my extended family on the island. Three of our children are grown but all four love the island and know how much it means to me and our family.
My husband and I semi-retired in 2005 and began building our dream house. I had the privilege of designing it so it is extra special to me.
Dana McKinney purchased this house in 2006
Why Dana McKinney chose St. George Island
As an adult, I had always dreamed about having a place on the island. When we found the lot;we fell in love instantly! We drove over to the mainland the same day to make a bid on it.

relaxing
Never stayed on the bayside before. It was perfect for the grands
Nice Family Vacation
Our family of 7 adults and canines enjoyed this trip very much. The house location was great with the nearby beach on the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck and doing a whole lot of nothing. Golf cart rental or bicycle are the ways to get around the island. We are already planning a return trip.
Lacking
We rented the house for our honeymoon. The location and the view was great but the beach was very full of debris. The yard was very unkempt. The hot water was terrible...by the time the Jacuzzi tub was halfway full you'd run out of hot water. The appliances were outdated. The grill didn't work even after we spent the money to get a new propane tank. The TV's only worked in the living room and smaller master. The one in the twin room only got one channel. The ones in the main master & middle room weren't even hooked up. The neighbors behind us had a bunch of huge parrots that squawked loudly at all hours. I was willing to look past all of that until the owner refused to give our deposit back claiming damages to items that we didn't even use. We will rent elsewhere next time.
Terrific place for an island vacation
We have stayed in more than eight vacation rentals on St. George Island and we can say without a doubt that Sea-U-Later ranks among the top of all of them. We spent February and March of 2017 here and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The house is well appointed and beautifully decorated and certainly more than roomy enough for 8 people. Although the cooking utensils and cookware could use some updating, it was up to par with most rentals we have occupied. There is a small beach across the road on Apalachicola Bay and the main beach on the Gulf is only a short five minute walk away. It would certainly be nicer to be right on the Gulf but the rental price of Sea U Later is at least half of what you would pay to be on the beach.
What really sets this rental apart however is the attitude of the owners, Dana and Dee. Although they do not reside on the Island they were prompt to respond to any minor problems we had with efficiency and charm.
We heartily recommend Sea U Later to anyone looking for a relaxing and stressless vacation. We've already booked it for next year and will continue to do so.

very nice house, full of warmth, charm and comfort
Our family stayed at Sea-U-Later for a little under a week and we would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay on St. George Island, good location, great breeze coming off the bay, nice views. Thank you for the experience.
Incredible
Being our second stay at Sea U Later, our family had a blast relaxing in the house and out on the front porch with the great view of the bayside. We kept our bellies full and a smile on our face as we adventured out on the island for the week of the 4th, with a comfortable place to rest once we came in at the end of the day. We look forward to coming back next year.
Map
There is a bald Eagle nest 1/4 mile from our house and you can see the Eagle fly to his nest from our front porch. The beaches have the brightest white sand and there is hardly any other people close by even during the summer season. Bike riding is a favorite activity because there is a bike path that goes around half the island. No car necessary if you have or rent a golf cart.
