About this property
Howl at the Sea - SGI
Come Howl at the Sea in this NEWLY renovated, super pet friendly Beach Bungalow on St George Island, Florida. This light, airy 2 bedroom home is one of SGI's original homes and has been special renovated for you, your family, friends and pets. Located @ 100 steps to the gorgeous Gulf beach on one of Florida's Forgotten Coast areas and on the beach access path. Just walk down our boardwalk and out the back gate and be at the beach in a minute. You can even get a few glimpses of the water from the upper deck and hear the relaxing sounds of the waves. This single story home sits on the ground so you won't have to climb steps.
There is a large open living area for relaxing, reading, playing games or watching your favorite tv show on the 55 inch screen. You can also watch the sunset from the living room out our large panoramic dining room window. It is a breathtaking show. The dining room seats 6 and also has a twin day bed for relaxing or sleeping. The fully equipped kitchen is off the dining room and has everything you need to whip up your favorite beach dishes. We even added a slow cooker, blender and stellar coffee/tea maker so bring your favorite single cup flavors or a large bag of your favorite coffee and never sleep.
There are 5 TVs - living room, dining room, each bedroom and the screen porch
One bedroom has a king size bed and ample closet size, big enough to fit a large dog crate or pack n play. This room has blackout curtains for those mornings you just don't want to get up with the sun. The second bedroom has a queen bed with twin bunk, also with ample closet space.
The main bathroom is oversized and has 8 overhead cabinets for all your towels and toiletries. Their is a shower/tub combo with a filter on the shower and a bath ball filter for the tub. This helps to cut down on the chlorine and hard water. There is also a half bath and an outdoor enclosed shower with rainfall shower head, mirrors and a bench. Showering outside is fun and we tried to make it fabulous. And lastly there is a rinse off shower with a filter that is awesome for cleaning up after the beach.
We love our four legged family and we made this house super pet friendly. Our backyard is large and flat and more importantly is fully fenced in for your pups run and play. There is even a doggie pool and sprinkler....and we won't tell if you take a dip or run through the sprinkler too.
We have a propane grill and fish cleaning station. Ping pong, cornhole, giant jenga and giant connect 4 outside for your playing pleasure too. Or you can take a nap after the beach in our hammock under the palms. And the landscaping of canna lilies, banana trees, sago palms, hibiscus will help you get in that tropical feeling. Oh, and take your morning coffee or dine under the string lights in our patio bistro or go to the upper deck and dine, drink, play games or just watch the island go by. If you like people watching, sit on the front stoop Adirondack chairs and waive at the passerby's.
We have beach chairs too.

About the host
Hosted by Chuck Howell
My husband and I found this little gem at the SGI Chili Cookoff 2022. When we walked by and saw the for sale sign in the over grown yard, we knew this house was meant to be ours. It was in pretty bad disrepair but we just knew that we were meant to bring one of SGI's original homes back to it's initial glory. 2 months later we drove down for our closing with our 2 dogs and a mini U-Haul to get started on our little fixer upper.
But....there was a bad wreck on Highway 98 and traffic wasn't moving and according to the local sheriff, it wasn't going to move for at least another hour. We were in a pinch to get to the closing agency by 4pm. We were determined to make it to closing because if we didn't close that day, interest rates were going up. So, the sheriff told us about another route through Tate's Hell forest. Oh and did I mention it was raining and Tate's Hell is dirt roads with no road signs and no cell service so if our GPS went out, we would be, well, lost in Hell. It was a rather scary drive on thin roads with large trucks flying by and kicking up all kinds of dust, making it even harder to see. Luckily, we made it, late, but we made it and our wonderful agent waited on us. The deal closed!
To say we were excited when we pulled into the driveway is an understatement. Over the next few years we worked fixing up this beach bungalow, while stopping often to enjoy the island. We put a ton of blood, sweat and a few tears into this endeavor but seeing our before and after pictures makes it all worth it. We hope you enjoy Howl at the Sea and find a little piece of paradise and some rest and relaxation. We are so happy to share this with you.

Why they chose this property
We began looking for an investment property at the beaches close to Tallahassee where we live and after much consideration of places like Panama City and Destin, which we thought was too commercialized, busy and not super pet friendly, we then looked at Alligator Point, which we thought didn't have enough to do, so we decided St George Island was the perfect fit for us. Our kids have 4 legs and we just fell in love with the fact that our dogs were allowed on the beach (leashed of course) and even to the restaurants. Not to mention SGI is peaceful yet has many dining and entertainment options but isn't overly commercialized, keeping the quaint feeling.
What makes this property unique
We think our property stands out from many on the island because of our yard. It is large, flat, fenced and very useable. So let those pups run free and enjoy the sand between their toes too. We have taken advantage of this large yard by adding many games such as ping pong, giant jenga and connect 4, and cornhole, as well as a nice relaxing hammock under the palms and a patio bistro under string lights. We also have 2 kiddie and pet pools and a few sprinklers for even the adults to cool off with on the hot summer days. Come frolic in our backyard and get to the beach in a minute out our back gate using the beach access path.
