I love that we are centrally located between the two bridges for quick access to shopping or the beach, but it is quieter and more relaxing than either. Serene location with bay breezes and views and lots of wildlife. Use the sidewalk to visit the Marine Estuary and fishing pier a block away.

Exactly what we needed, and even more than we could have asked for! Very clean, stocked with all the necessities and more, and great location to both the island and Appalach. The host was super helpful both before and during our stay. We've stayed at various places through the years, but this one is a definite favorite. Perfect for us and our 3 young boys, plus my mom and sister. Definitely will be back and highly recommend staying here.
This was our second time staying here for a family beach trip and it was once again, such a lovely home to rent and an amazing trip and experience!! So thankful!!
Very quiet and peaceful setting, love the large screened porch. Home very clean and spacious with great stocked kitchen and enjoyed the ping pong table and corn hole with the great area underneath. Also proximity to St. George and Appalachiola was nice. Property manager very nice and helpful!
The location being in between St. George Island and Apalachicola is convenient. The house was clean, well appointed, and cozy. Ample seating. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely screened porch. Very quick response time from the host. No complaints.
This is the best place we’ve stayed in the Eastpoint/Apalachicola area!! Deborah’s place is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and she is a wonderful host! We had a brief plumbing issue but she had a plumber out immediately to fix it. All correspondence with her was quick and friendly! We look forward to staying there again!!
Property, location, and hostess were all perfect. We loved our stay and would recommend Tropical Treehouse to anyone that wants the perfect cozy getaway.
Loved that the home was centrally located between Apalachicola and St. George Island. House was very homey, lots of room, and enjoyed the wrap around porch. Well stocked kitchen and baths, also enjoyed the large shaded lot and parking underneath.
The home was well stocked and convenient to both Appalachicola and St George. We loved the location and home was very spacious. Loved having a bay view.
We had a great stay! The property was spotless and had everything we could want or need. The location, right between SGI and Apalachicola, was very convenient for all of the activities we wanted to do. The screened in porch was perfect, and we enjoyed walking our dog along the bay, right across the street. Our kids are already asking when we can go back, and we’re looking at dates in the fall for another visit!
We enjoyed and appreciated our visit. The home is welcoming and peaceful.
I especially appreciated the layout of the property because we could find tranquil niches which allowed us to relax.
We had a wonderful time. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. It’s located in a convenient location, not too far from the beach! The host was very accommodating and easy to reach. The property was very clean and well kept. We would love to visit again.
The house was very nice and clean. It had everything you needed. It was very close to everything. I even enjoyed playing games with my grandkids that was provided.
It is lovely; appointed with beautiful pictures and clean attractive furniture. The children loved the bunk bed and it’s windows. Adults enjoyed wrap around screened in porch!!
The house was gorgeous inside and out. There was so much room and the three bathrooms with showers helped so much. There was More than enough parking as well. We loved our stay. The house was less than a minute from the bridge to St. George Island and just minutes from Appalachicola. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Everything was perfect! This is a beautiful home, not a place thrown together for rental purposes. Everything is top-notch and very clean. We we loved the large paver area below the house that will be perfect when we return with our boat. We have stayed at many short-term rentals and this is by far the best of all. We highly recommend this property.

About the host
Hosted by Deborah Stamatinos
I have been so lucky to have lived in this beautiful place for the last 20 years and am excited to share it with others! I hope you love it as much as I do! I ran Island Adventures on St. George Island for many years, but sold it to my employees so i could work on the farm I inherited from my family. While you are on St. George, check it out, great bunch working there! I grew up in the Panhandle area and spent ever summer on the beaches, swimming, boating, fishing and crabbing. It is great family fun and a wonderful get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property after selling a couple of homes on St. George Island, because it had more land, fewer restrictions and was more private, yet right between to both St. George Island or Apalachicola. I find the setting to be ideal for relaxing and unwinding from stress.
What makes this property unique
You will find staying here is very quiet where the main beach area can be very crowded and loud during the summer months. However if you have access to all the beach areas in about 5 minutes. It is close enough to drive guests over, come back for lunch then go back for an evening walk. However, you may want to go to our local brewery in the evenings and share a pizza or maybe take the kids to the Estuary. The Red Pirate has wonderful seafood just down the street! Or maybe you want to see the shops in Apalachicola or eat at the famous Owl Cafe! All just 5 minutes away!
