About this property

Studio Sea: Affordable, Private Pool, 1 Block to Beach, Pets Welcome, Sleeps 10

Just a short walk to the beach, Studio Sea is a renovated, four-bedroom Florida beach cottage. A king bedroom and a twin bedroom are on the upper level. A large king bedroom and XL-twin over queen bunk bedroom, and bath are on the lower level with a separate entrance, making it perfect for two families or couples. These two floors are connected via an exterior staircase.

Cool off in the pool, worship the sun from the third floor deck, or sit on the porch with family and friends. Let the morning greet you in the sunny living area, which includes an open concept kitchen, dining and living space.

Recently a dining space was added on the third floor deck. Dine under the stars and by fairy light.

Like much of St. George Island, Studio Sea is pet friendly.

During the day take advantage of all available activities on St. George Island or shop in Apalachicola. "Dr. Beach" rates the beaches of St. George Island as one of the top five beaches in the United States. In the evening, have dinner at one of the many restaurants on the island and in Apalachicola, where you will find some of the best seafood in the United States.

Bring your bike or rent one on the island. Studio Sea is right across the street from the island bike path. The cottage is just a short bike ride to shops, markets, restaurants and fresh seafood.

Great fishing is available from the beach, the pier, or at the beautiful state park on the east end of the Island. A number of fishing charters are available in the area; ask about our favorite charter captain.

Always enjoy Studio Sea

This was our third year at Studio Sea and we have already booked for a fourth. The location is perfect for a quick walk to the beach yet off the busier main road. The private pool is perfect. The interior is spacious and the separate living areas with private entrances are perfect for a small family or couples desiring to stay at the same location but still have separate personal space. The decks offer wonderful views of the ocean. Kitchen and living area in the upstairs unit provide are spacious for family dinners and game nights!

Hi Kerri, A couple of months ago you vacationed on St. George Island and stayed at Studio Sea. I am glad you had a good time and enjoyed the Island and the house. Thank you for informing us about the need for a deep cleaning. I expected that it was needed but had a hard time working that in because the house was continually rented. It has been deep cleaned since you were there. I live in Indiana and only get to the house a couple of times a year. I was there two weeks ago and found it to be in good shape. Thanks for your helpful comments. I would love to have you stay at Studio Sea again. David Mann Owner, Studio Sea

My family fell in love with the island and we visited for many years before eventually purchasing Studio Sea. I now enjoy spending my winters at Studio Sea and being able to share it with others in the summers.
