Black Skimmer: Where Barefoot Luxury Meets the Gulf
Perched along the sugar white sand shores of St. George Island, Black Skimmer is a coastal classic reimagined for laid back luxury. This beachfront home effortlessly blends relaxed comfort with bright, modern updates—making it the perfect setting for memory making with friends, family and even your (small) 4 legged companion.
Step inside to find a light soaked great room with soaring blonde tongue and groove ceilings, new coastal furnishings and a panoramic wall of windows that frame endless Gulf views. The heart of this home flows seamlessly to a screened porch dotted with Adirondack chairs, where ocean breezes and sunset toasts come standard.
The primary king suite on the east side offers a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, while the west wing features a second king bedroom that shares a hallway bathroom with a shower/tub combo with the adjacent queen & bunk room—perfect for kids or cousins who whisper late into the night.
A brand new boardwalk leads you straight to the white sand and thoughtful updates throughout—including new appliances, furnishings and fresh décor—make every stay feel special. Need extra convenience? An elevator is available for a fee of $150 and pets under 35 lbs. are welcome with prior approval.
Black Skimmer welcomes your toes in the sand and invites you to settle into Island time—just the way St. George intended.
Bed Sizes: 2 Kings, 1 Double, Bunk bed (2 Twins)
Your beach vacation rental through St. George Island Vacations includes a beach gear credit that can be applied to beach chairs, umbrellas, bicycles, paddleboards, kayaks, beach wagons and more!
