About this property

Refreshed interior, Great Rates, kayaks, fenced yard for dogs, close to beach!

UPDATED for 2023/24! Completely updated bedrooms with multiple ROKU smart panels for your comfort and enjoyment! New dining room table with plenty of room and room for 2 at the kitchen breakfast bar. New polywood loungers off the back deck for sunning or just reading your favorite book while the kiddos can have a snack at the picnic table. Comfortable rockers on the inviting front porch for afternoon beverages in peace and quiet. Back deck has seating for several to watch sunsets and that perfect cocktail or evening meal! Master bedroom has new walk in shower and a soaking tub to die for! If you've stayed before you must come back - if you've never stayed we welcome the opportunity to host you at Rosemary!


Welcome to Rosemary! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our island beach house with you and your family!

This beautiful, comfortable home is fully equipped and well maintained in a quiet residential area of the island. There are no homes on either side! You can walk to the beach access at the end of 11th Street (5 minute walk) or to a county owned bay shore at the end of the street! This state-owned section of Apalachicola Bay is great for watching sunsets, fishing or launching the kayaks provided by Rosemary!


Enjoy the large, furnished, whimsically decorated outdoor living area under the house! Take in the fresh air within the lush, private, gated and fenced yard while relaxing and grilling! There's even a room to park your golf cart for those evening cruises around the back streets of the island!

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a cook could want, whether you are preparing a gourmet meal for a large family, or simply warming up left-overs.

The master bedroom offers a king sized bed with Consumer Choice top rated Doctor's Choice Denver Mattress with Euro top. You will feel like you are sleeping in a coastal cloud. There is a large adjoining bathroom with both a stand up shower and a large soaking tub. The second bedroom has two twin beds with memory foam mattresses, the third bedroom has a full Purple mattress and the fourth bedroom contains a queen Sealy mattress. Even Goldilocks has a great nights sleep at Rosemary. The fourth bedroom opens out onto a private deck with steps down to the outdoor living area!


There is plenty of outdoor living spaces for sitting, rocking, gliding and relaxing while enjoying the gentle island breeze. The private yard is fenced in so your furry beach buddies can explore. There is a kids club under the stairs and outdoor seating just their size.


Your island retreat includes free wi-fi, multiple Roku televisions, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. There is also a Keurig coffee maker, but be sure to bring your favorite pods! We are pet friendly, and limit to two medium sized dogs. There is a $75 pet fee for one pet and $100 for two pets.


Enjoy your thyme at Rosemary!

Prefect for our family

This home was a short walk to the beach and bay, which was perfect for my fishing trip. The property manager was great and even allowed us to move our vacation due to a work conflict. Home was clean and had a great yard with a fence for the dogs.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We come to St George every year. This was our first stay at the Rosemary. We were thrilled to have a fenced in yard for our pups! They enjoyed having freedom to explore and we enjoyed being able to let them out without having to walk them each time. The house was clean and convenient. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will difinitely be back and hope to book the Rosemary again!

Relaxing At Rosemary

It was very easy to make reservations for our stay at Rosemary. Once there we felt very much at home. It was a short walk to beach or bay and located on a very quiet street. We loved the fenced in yard for Buster. It gave him a chance to explore in a safe place. We will definitely be coming to Rosemary again.

Relaxing, quiet house just two blocks from the beach

We loved our stay at SGI and Rosemary. We had everything we needed in the clean kitchen. The towels and bed sheets are amazingly soft. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. We didn’t use the kayaks but two of them looked brand new and there’s plenty of PFD’s. The hot and cold outdoor shower is extremely nice. Don’t forget the Dr. Bronners and a few beach towels!

Perfect if traveling with the fur babies

Great spot. Large house with plenty of room. A little dated but you can clearly tell they are slowly trying to update. Neighbor was super friendly. Yard could use a little TLC but not so bad that we wouldn't stay again.

Fantastic environment for a beach getaway

We really enjoyed the privacy of the large wooded lot with a fence to keep our dog safe. The outdoor area was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the starry night. The home furnishings were a bit dated but did not lack for comfort. The outdoor shower was a life saver for cleaning up our toddler and our puppy after a day at the beach. This spot was an easy walk to the gulf beach in the day and a perfect stroll to the bay to catch the sunset at night. This home had all the amenities needed to keep life running smoothly. They had brand new kayaks that looked super fun but unfortunately we didn't get to use them with the little one. Would certainly come back here again!

Stay at 204 Bradford, St George

Property not cleaned, no toilet tissue, soap etc. Property manager found someone to clean Thursday night and left around 9:30 pm, our check in was about 4:30 Thursday. We washed the sheets and towels due to the fact the cleaners would have been there for several more hours. I was told by the Property manager to make things right one night would be refunded and also the cleaning fee, also reaffirmed Friday when he dropped off wash cloths. He said it would be refunded through VRBO. Needless to say it was a very disappointing experience!

Great space and lived in feel!

The layout of the house was perfect for us, our two kids, and our sister and brother in law! We enjoyed cooking there and the outdoor space under the house was inviting and relaxing! The off season is quiet on the island. We had some poor weather that made the waves too big and scary for my 3 year old, but we found a small park with bay front beach access that was calmer and perfect for her! We had some mix ups with payments because of the change in ownership, but Sammy was very apologetic and helpful to get everything resolved. We had a great stay but could have used just a few more "start up" supplies (more than 1 trash bag, 1-2 more rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, more than 1 dishwasher pod- no dish soap was available.)

Nice stay!

Arrival was distressing...after 10 hours in the car we arrived to find the house had not been cleaned, there were no linens, etc. I contacted the property manager (Sam) who apologized and arrived within the hour to clean and sanitize and make beds, then returned the following day with extra linens and supplies. Location is great; loved the fenced yard for our dogs and the easy access to both beach and bay. Kitchen is well equipped. Mattresses are brand new! The ROKU TV didn't work because we couldn't get the WiFi to work, but we didn't report it (because frankly we didn't care.) Sam was informed by text as we checked out. In spite of the rocky start we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Good value.

Read the Description and You are Prepared!

The property was exactly as described. It is an older home that has had upgrades and seems to be continuing with upgrades. The house is very spacious and roomy with plenty of room to move around for all of us and our two fur babies. The fenced in yard is a blessing for the pups. The only con about the yard was that the back yard needed cutting badly, but we know the weather has been crazy lately. The decorations in the yard are adorable and eccentric. We loved the fairy lights and statues. We loved that there were two kayaks with paddles and lifejackets available. My 18, 21, 22 year olds and myself greatly enjoyed them one day. There were plenty of items provided in the kitchen for cooking as long as you don't want to cook a gourmet meal, but who does on vacay? We also loved the gates at the bottom of the deck steps to hold the dogs until we were ready for them to get to the yard. The under house parking was awesome! The beds were comfortable, but I would have preferred something on the master window that kept the sunrise out a little more. I have trouble sleeping with light, but woke up to a beautiful sunrise early every morning. The neighbors were very friendly, also! We had a great time and would definitely return!

Festival

Great house! We were on SGI for the Chili Festival and the house offered plenty of room for everyone. We also enjoyed not having neighbors on top of us. It was a short walk to the Gulf and the bay. Everyone enjoyed sitting under the house in the mornings and afternoons.Great place for a group of friends to hangout for a long weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Angie Julian

Host profile image
I inherited my sense of Adventure from my mother. Ever since she was 5 she wanted to travel the world. I was her travel buddy. Vacationing, adventure and exploration are a sacred part of life for me. To have a place I can offer for others to do the same is an honor!

Why they chose this property

I have always loved the beach and especially island culture. Crossing over from the mainland into a world surrounded by sand and water, adorned with twinkling lights and sea creatures that are all being watched over by a lighthouse is magical, mystical, surreal and yet very real. St George Island has all the best the beach has to offer without the crowds. Even during the peak week of July 4th we can have our own space on the beach. Rosemary has a vibe we felt immediately when we visited the first time. After looking at many houses, nothing gave the same feeling Rosemary did. There is a natural flow between inside and outside, and all the shaded living space downstairs. You have plenty of options to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings while being lulled by the sounds of the waves of the Gulf of Mexico.

What makes this property unique

In looking at properties on St George Island we were only interested in beach front. Upon arrival at Rosemary we were overcome with a feeling of peace. The seclusion from other properties and the gentle island breeze was the escape we were looking for. The surrounding trees and outdoor areas give ample shade from the sun. With just a short to beach and bay and a close bike ride to main attractions Rosemary is the ideal location for our family island getaway.
