Wonderful Respite!!

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: We only had a few days to spend on the coast and they couldn't have been lovelier. The sunsets alone were worth the trip. The house was clean, spacious, and oddly soothing. Watching a storm roll in while perched up in the trees, safely dry in the screened porch, was a delightful experience.

Best Stay Ever!

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 home was absolutely beautiful. We vacation every year on Sanibel Island and recently discovered St. George. We prefer more natural beaches and this area is lovely. We caught many fish from the private pier and really enjoyed watching the manatees. The property is beautifully maintained with gorgeous views at sunset. You are perfectly situated between Apalachicola and St. George Island, which makes exploring so easy. We had a pleasant experience with everyone involved and are already planning our return to the Shady Oyster!

We would retire here!

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: We stayed at his beautiful home before it was the Shady Oyster and we loved it then but the new owners have made many additions that made our visit even more perfect this time. There is a shaded seating area in the back yard with a small fire pit and string lights to help you unwind or you can hang out under the porch and even watch TV. The dock is fun to fish from or to just relax and enjoy the view. There is also a kayak launch available. The scenery is spectacular and the sunsets from the dock are amazing! The house is safe and feels secluded. It has a wonderful layout and it is stocked with standard things that you would need during your trip. The decor is pretty and the beds are comfy. The new showers are really nice with plenty of hot water too. The location is convenient because it is close to many other places to explore. I have to also mention that the Forgotten Shores staff are so friendly and extremely helpful through every step of vacation planning. We look forward to our next stay at the Shady Oyster!

Perfect for our stay. Beds are comfortable. House is well laid out, and well equipped. And it was very very clean. Forgotten Shores is very easy to deal with. Loved the dock. And the downstairs when one of us had a tutoring session. 3/4 mile walk to Pollywhogs on sidewalks. About the same to Nature center.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this house! We have always stayed in the same house in Lanark village but we were not able to get it this year. We ran across this one at the last minute and it was great! So great we plan to stay here more in the future! It's absolutely beautiful. Being able to sit on the dock and see the sunsets were my favorite! Sitting on the screened in porch was very relaxing. We can't wait to stay again! A pool would be a great addition for this house! My kids truly enjoyed it but they were hoping we would have a pool where we stayed! I have to add that everyone I talked to from forgotten Shores properties were extremely nice and so much help! Thank you guys so much!

We enjoyed the location, comfort and cleanliness of this home. Comfortable beds, beautiful view of the bay and close to the beach and Apalachicola. We were responded to quickly and considerately when we had questions about the house when we arrived. I would recommend this beautiful home for a restful vacation to my family and friends.

Shady Oyster

Only issue for us was the stairs- hard on us and the dogs Dock needs guardrails- that direct drop is dangerous Need grab bar on outside of tub for help getting out in Bath upstairs Both towel holder and toilet paper holder were loose in upstate bath But, beautiful house in a great location. Gorgeous sunsets. So easy to get to both Apalachicola or SGI!

Lake House on the Bay

Enjoyed our stay! View and dock is amazing. I loved dog bowls in place for dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds. Dishes have to be put back, so I wasn’t confident of cleanliness. Leaving dishes in dishwasher is an incentive for guests to use it. Garbage had to be pulled to the street. Loved that I could check in early!

The property was perfectly situated between St. George Island and Apalachicola. We had waited until the last minute to rent not knowing our exact dates to be in the area. We normally rent on the island; however, with the holiday weekend, it was close to impossible. This house fit the bill for us perfectly. It was newly renovated, the furnishings were new, and the view from the new dock was gorgeous. The only drawbacks were the dock was too high and the water too shallow for a boat. It was a lovely stay.
