Life’s a beach! Catch your Wave at The Spindrift Sea Turtle!
Welcome to the Spindrift Sea Turtle (previously The Salty Sea Turtle), a family and pet friendly beachside townhome located in the community of 300 Ocean Mile! Enjoy access to a private beach on St. George Island and take in the beautiful crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico! Dip your toes in the sand and relax. If you need a break from the sand, take your pick and jump into 1 of 2 large pools located just mere steps from the back porch. Other island activities include onshore and offshore fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, bird watching, and exploring the St George Island State Park. If you get a chance to stay here in the summer, be sure to explore the beach at dawn to get a glimpse of the nesting sea turtles.
Fun Fact! According to Dr. Beach, St George Island was named the nation’s best beach for 2023. He ranks the nation’s top 10 public beaches every year out of 650 public beaches. He describes St. George Island as an “idyllic place” because of its natural beauty, lack of development (no high rises), abundant outdoor activities, and an “unparalleled view” of the night sky.
Hungry for a bite to eat? There are a variety of restaurants to indulge in from beachfront dining featuring freshly caught local seafood and live music to café style eateries for pubs or pizza at the island pizzeria. Prefer to cook at home? There are two grocery markets on the island with a great selection of meats and other items. Also, at only a stone’s throw away, take a quick hop and a skip to Apalachicola. Apalachicola is known for their dining, shopping, and festivals. In addition, it is home to the famous Oyster City Brewery. End your day by relaxing on one of 3 private balconies taking in the sunset or grilling dinner after a long fun filled day on the beach.

Our host Sarah was simply the best communicator. We received access instructions well in advance, which was important since we were on the road a week before we checked in. The home was clean, the pool and beach access as advertized. We needed some extra sheets and Carolyn made a special trip out to get them for us. All in all, a great family vacation on St. George island (and Apalachicola too). Thanks again Sarah.
We had a wonderful week here with our two teenagers. The proximity and ease to get to the beach was perfect. Check in and out was a breeze. We would stay here again!
The apartment was superior in quality of provisions and cleanliness. I loved the floor plan. The proximity to the beach was terrific, the grounds are so pleasant, the pool, chairs and tables are well kept and clean. The host was wonderfully accommodating.
Very clean, comfortable , and convenient! Super close to the pool and steps from the beach. House has all the amenities needed for a nice stay. Plenty of room for our family including 4 adults, 1 teen, and 1 toddler.
My family has been visiting St. George Island for many years and we've stayed at a few different condos in this community. The Spindrift Sea Turtle has been nicely updated, is very clean, and the owner was excellent with communication. We cannot wait to stay again!
Wonderful place to stay! The island is quiet and this property is beautiful. The condo was very clean and as described and great communication with the owner.
Our family visited for an extended holiday weekend and really enjoyed it. The pool and beach are easily accessible from the unit. The unit itself is updated and clean and has all basic necessities.
Was perfect location for our family … located at the quiet end of the island … the unit was close to the pool and we could still see the ocean in the distance ! Owners were awesome, and helped us with the little extras along the way ! We enjoyed our stay!
We arrived (with kids and dog) after our long drive and immediately felt at ease. The accommodations were clean and orderly and in good condition. We had a great time and would use this rental property again!
We booked for a week and it was such a wonderful, enjoyable time with family . The weather was perfection , the house was just what we needed with close access to the beach . Communication with the host was on point and she always got back to us right away and gave us suggestions on places to eat and to visit . would definitely recommend staying with them .thank you for a wonderful experience .
The property was clean and just as expected! Beautiful location and condo. Had more amenities than we had ever experienced staying in these condos. Will definitely be back!
Condo has nice updates and is very clean. Good views of the beach from the master bedroom and living room decks. The beach is a short walk on the complex boardwalk. The pool is right outside of the condo...very convenient if you have children with you. Pet walking area is close to condo, and a gated deck makes it a good location if you bring your pup. Sarah was helpful with information about the island and quickly responded to questions, and is very pleasant!
We have stayed numerous times at 300 OM over the years and this was one of the most comfortable. Nicely updated and the bunkroom is adorable. Both Keurig and coffee pot, toaster, and all the basic kitchen supplies. Will stay here again.
Very good communication with owner. Property was as described on the website. Very close to beach. Recommend this property for anyone visiting SGI.

Why they chose this property
Located on the beach, this vacation home is in East End, a neighborhood in St. George Island. St. George Island is protected by low-density zoning and strict building codes. This means that there are no high rises, only the hustle and bustle of a relaxing beach vibe! Each year, St. George Island consistently rates as one of the top 10 beaches in the US. The beach is uncrowded, the water is crystal clear, and there are numerous family filled activities to do while staying on the island.
What makes this property unique
The Spindrift Sea Turtle is our family beach home. We are not owned or operated by one of the big management companies, we manage our rental ourselves. We strive to keep our nightly cost down and build long term repeat renters.
