The Sandy Turtle – A Gulf-Front Getaway on St. George Island

*Winter monthly rates available*

Nestled in the heart of St. George Island, The Sandy Turtle offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Just steps from the beach, this newly renovated vacation home makes enjoying the best of the Forgotten Coast a breeze. Start your day with a good book on the covered deck or dip your toes into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf. Whether you're lounging in the sun or splashing in the surf, paradise is right outside your door.

The first floor offers a Gulf front king bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Just down the hall is a 2nd king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The washer and dryer are also located on this level.
One level up you will find Gulf views from the moment to arrive. The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are full of spectacular views of the beach. This level also has a full bathroom.
The top floor bedroom has two elevated twin beds and a full size bed.

After a day of beach fun, rinse off in the convenient enclosed outdoor shower, then fire up the private charcoal grill to cook up your fresh catch of the day. Gather around the picnic table with family and friends to share your meal, and take in the ocean breeze as the sun sets over this coastal haven.

With shops, dining, ice cream, coffee, and outdoor courts just a short walk away, The Sandy Turtle offers the ultimate blend of seclusion and convenience, making it the ideal spot for your next St. George Island escape.
