About this property

Only 5 min from the St. George or Apalachicola!

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.

Beautifully appointed! Comfortable furniture, plenty of seating inside and out, and all the extra touches (charger ports, towel hooks, etc) that made everything simple. All of the listing info provided by the host was accurate, and it’s clear that this house was furnished to be enjoyed as a home away from home. Host was quick to respond when we had questions and the location felt very private. Great sidewalk for walking our dog and close to all the things we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again!

This home is perfect! It had everything we needed and more. We sat on the screen porch with coffee in the morning an listened to the birds, enjoyed the living area and did some cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. The bedrooms are lovely and beds so comfy. We would love to stay there again.Great communication w/ the host.

I stayed for a few nights on a solo Christian retreat and can’t say enough good things about the place. Comfortable, private and beautiful. You will only need to bring your clothes and food, the host provides everything you need! Location perfect and close to everything with the water directly across the street. Great restaurants are nearby and you are able to bike right from the house on a bike lane right to the fishing pier. There’s also sidewalks that lead you to the local restaurants. I heard about the Forgotten Coast from a YouTuber Peter Sentenallo who covered the area. Affordable and beautiful and can’t wait to stay again. You are close to the most untouched beaches in FL!

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.

Wonderful vacation!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Stamatinos

Host profile image
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!
