About the host
Hosted by Greg Smith
We deeply admire the beauty of the Island and enjoyed the serenity and peace of this unique place. We are sharing our house rentals by owner with our guests and hope they will enjoy this Florida beach tops Dr. Beach's Top 10 list for 2023. As you relax on the sugar-white sand somewhere along the 9-mile stretch of St. George Island beach along Florida's Gulf of Mexico, you can rest assured you are lying on the best beach in the United States.
Why they chose this property
Our house located on the west end of St. George Island which is nature wonderland for those who loves to explore the outdoors and appreciates private, not overcrowed white beaches . Neighboring houses are not right up against each other and you will have a sense of seclusion. Our private beach is unspoiled, not over crowded and clean. It is a quiet family beach... The wild life and fishing is simply amazing. You won't believe the number of different types birds, butterfly you will see on a daily basis. An early morning stroll at the beach and it is almost a guarantee to see dolphins put on show for you in the Gulf. Our private gated community has a unique partnership with the State of Florida that provides us access to one of the most pristine maritime forests on the island, known as Nick’s Hole Cove. This unique state-owned area is accessible for kayaking, hiking, picnicking, and observing the natural world. The island is also a great place to catch up on your fishing, either from a boat or the coast. We are located in 10 minute walk along the beach from the rocky canal at the Northwest end of the island that is known as a prime fishing spot, Bob Sikes Cut, where you can fish off the jetties and see Little St. George Island across the water.
What makes this property unique
We hope you will enjoy the nature's beauty of Saint George Island, our white unspoiled beach, two large community pools, miles of our biking/walking trails. Take a short walk to our beach and wiggle your toes in the sugar-white sand on our beach. Swim in crystal waters of The Gulf or relax at pool. At night watch for shooting stars or just listen to the night ocean sounds. If you want to be on the water, you can kayak, swim or spend the day on the boat. You can rent all sorts of water craft at Journeys and other places. They also have guided sailing and fishing trips and much more. Play. Rest. Dream. Enjoy.
