About this property

Beach front access, private pickleball court, pool & hot tub, dog-friendly

The East End neighborhood has that “Old Florida” vibe that Forgotten Coast visitors love, family-friendly atmosphere, and spectacular views of St. George Island’s award-winning beaches. The Salty Pickle is on the edge of the Gulf Beaches area -- 1.8 miles to local shops, markets, restaurants, nightlife, St. George Lighthouse Museum and playground, fishing pier, and just two and a half miles to the State Park. The charming shops, restaurants, galleries and historic attractions of Apalachicola are just 20 minutes away by car.

The pool deck extends to underneath the house to provide a shady area to gather by the pool, and a nearby ping pong table and TV under the house provides entertainment between dips in the pool. Just outside the pool deck is a dedicated outdoor regulation cornhole court which is also great for bocce ball. And don’t forget to bring your paddles to take advantage of the full-size private pickleball court!

The enclosed outdoor shower (hot/cold), fish cleaning area, and park-style grill are perfect for beachgoers and boaters after a day on the water. Your dogs will love the large, fenced dog run, which features easy access directly from the deck stairs, as well as a ground level gate.

Vacation Dream Home!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Salty Pickle is the ultimate Vacation Home! You can see the amenities which are many. We had 4 seniors, adult children and grandchildren and the house was perfect for all! We didn't have any problems, so didn't need to contact the management company, but I called a few times prior with questions, and they answered the phone on the lst ring and answered the questions promptly, being very familiar with the house. The house and outside areas, were sparkling clean upon arrival! We thank you for a great experience!

Perfect vacation rental!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Many reviewers have already commented on how nice the home is, that is, solid furniture, comfortable beds, attractive decor, well equipped kitchen, a plethora of recreational equipment (all in great shape) and so on. I agree with all of that (overall it is exceptionally done) but what I appreciated as much is the layout. We spend time at the beach with family at least once a year. Generally there are 8-10 of us. We have rented several homes with 4 or 5 bedrooms that meet our “sleeping needs”. But what is different and special about the Salty Pickle is the layout. There are several places where everyone can get together in one big group or break up into smaller groups. For example, the teens don’t want to sit around at night with their parents and grandparents so having space where they can congregate separately is really nice. The decks are quite large with ample comfortable seating and there are three directly connected to the house and one downstairs in the recreational area. If you are coming with a crowd, just rent it. You won’t regret your choice. And our experience with Gulf Coast Properties was equally satisfying.

One of our best picks yet!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There’s not enough room to describe how wonderful our trip was. It was a two week stay, and still was so hard to leave. The Salty Pickle is about halfway between the island entrance and the state park, but we were so busy with the hot tub, pool, ping pong, pickle ball - yes, the only pickle ball court on the island, and it was all ours! The elevator was perfect for those who couldn’t handle the steps, and of course the kitchen was amazing with anything you would need (but the food)- two refrigerators, two stoves, and two dishwashers, and an ice maker on the first floor. We rode bikes and even though we weren’t directly on the beach, we had the perfect view from the kitchen and the hot tub, to watch the sunset! Our only issue was that the pool was loosing water and had to be filled several times. We were extremely impressed with the generous ‘welcome bag’ from the management. Thanks for that and for being very helpful and polite with our calls and requests both before and after our arrival. GCVP is the one to call for The Salty Pickle on your next trip to SGI. Can’t wait to see you again next year!
