Get into a zen state of mind at Buddha Beach!
The open living/dining/kitchen is bright, airy and accommodating. A large, spacious and fully stocked kitchen with ample counter space makes preparing and cooking meals a breeze. Eat in at the breakfast bar and dining room table, or enjoy a meal outdoors in the sun at the picnic table downstairs. A convenient laundry room is located just past the kitchen, with a full size washer and dryer. You will also find an ample supply of beach towels for your use (bonus!). The living room offers additional sleeping with a Queen size sleeper sofa and a gathering place for the family with a flat screen TV, DVD player and CD stereo. Sliding glass doors open onto a covered and furnished deck overlooking the private swimming pool and out towards the Gulf of Mexico.
Turning West from the living room is a small office space for those of you who still have to work on vacation! A large master suite with King bed can be found just past the office area. This bedroom has plenty of room for young children who need to be closer to parents or guardians, and we are happy to provide a pack-n-play for those in need. The private bathroom has a bathtub/shower.
Turning East from the living room is a convenient hall bathroom with double sinks and large, tiled shower. This bathroom is shared with the main living space and East bedroom. The East bedroom is large enough to hold 2 twin beds and 1 Queen bed, a great space for teenagers or even a small family.
Upstairs is a private Queen bedroom and private bathroom with large, tiled shower. This room is away from the hustle and bustle and is best suited for those who sleep in! Just past the Queen bedroom is another Master suite. This master has a King sized bed and private bathroom with double sinks and tiled shower. The comfortable King bed looks out toward the Gulf of Mexico and has the added enjoyment of a large, private balcony that overlooks the pool. This is a great place to watch the sun rise over the Gulf or enjoy a quiet afternoon of sunbathing.
The convenience of under-house concrete parking and covered entry make unloading and loading an easy task. As you round the corner from the front entry, you will find a large fish cleaning station with sink and gas grill. An exterior door, also accessible from the foyer, will open to a room filled with fun activities to include a ping pong table, corn hole, beach and pool gear as well as bicycles for the group! There’s no better way to explore the Island than the bike path which extends east and west from our location. Average bicycle rentals can cost you up to $40 per week, per bicycle. We happily provide bicycles at no additional charge for your convenience and enjoyment!
The large, fenced pool area is gated from the stairwell and carport for added safety but please be mindful to keep an eye on the little ones. The carport entry leads you into a covered deck space with a hot/cold enclosed shower and tiki bar area where you can relax in the shade as you watch over the kids swimming in the private pool. For colder months, pool heat is available for an additional $400 + tax fee. We also allow up to 2 dogs 50lbs or less with advance permission for a $200 + tax fee.
Beach access is an easy stroll along paved roads to a community beach boardwalk, about a 4-5 minute walk away. Not only is the Gulf just a short walk or bike ride away, you may also enjoy visiting the Apalachicola Bay via the East Hole public bay access 3 blocks East.

The house is great and has nearly everything you need. Forgotten Shores was amazing to work with and made everything easy and communicated perfectly.
We have rented many beach houses through the years but none compares to Buddha Beach. Super clean, beautifully maintained, with every amenity you could want for a fun and relaxing stay.
We absolutely LOVED this house! It was so accommodating and the owners really thought through everything like providing beach towels, several bikes, well supplied kitchen, access to cleaning supplies, etc. We’ll be back to Buddha Beach!
First time at Buddha Beach and we all loved it. Served all our needs. Well stocked with kitchen utensils etc. Beds were AMAZING!! Very very comfortable!! The kids spent most of their time in the pool. Very accommodating. Nice place!! Highly recommend.
The location was great-right by the road that leads to the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked. The back yard was fully fenced-easy for the dogs. Plenty of room-the rooms and bathrooms were a great size. The only thing I would change/improve would be the mattress on the pull out couch-the current is not something I would recommend sleeping on.

Buddha Beach had everything we needed plus more! It’s a very easy trip to the beach around the corner on 8th. The pool area is very nice with great covered seatiing. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 dogs. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful house for a large family. Kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. All the amenities were amazing. Pool. Bikes. Etc. Memories to last a lifetime.
Everything was perfect except the shower in the upstairs bedroom with a balcony would not drain. There was an extra bedroom up there so it didn't matter. House was beautiful and the kids had a great time!
We visit SGI every year with 3-4 families and pick a different house each trip. Buddha Beach is now our number one favorite!! The property had everything we needed and more for a relaxing and super fun trip with 3 families and our 4-legged buddy. Although not on the beach, its a super short walk and there's a wagon to tote all your things. Would absolutely stay here again!!! Thanks so much!!

We stayed at Buddha Beach for a month and it was just the perfect house! The beds were comfy and the porch, which wraps around 3/4th of the house, helped immerse us into the island life. The home has everything you could need to enjoy your stay at SGI!

My family and I loved this property! Large rooms with comfortable beds, lots of items provided for your stay. I would suggest bringing your own bath towels, only 2 per room, but everything else was great! Having the pool was definitely a plus. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was beautiful. We had a great time and it was fully stocked with everything we needed. The only critique that I could possibly give would be that I wished the living room furniture was more comfortable and the cleaning was not great prior to our visit. Overall, the house was great and Forgotten Shores Properties are the absolute best to work with.

Buddah Beach was probably the best house we have ever rented in SGI. Our hosts thought of everything we might need- bikes, corn hole, chairs, amazing storage. This house had it all and it was spacious and clean and not too far from the beach. Forgotten Shores staff was super helpful, as always! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Impressed by the level of household items available. Smalll things that made the stay, entertaining and cooking at home very easy. Have had many vacation homes at various beaches and this is now my favorite stay. Thanks for a great week!

Home was very accommodating during our week stay. It had everything you would need to stay comfortably. The furniture and decor is very nice. The outdoors area is extremely nice and well landscaped.
