The house is very nicely decorated and really easy to live in. There
are stairs outside and stairs going up through the middle of the
house for rainy days. You can walk or take an is easy to drive to the
beach on the 4 seater golf cart. The back gate folds down to carry
beach things. If you'd rather walk it is only 3 blocks to the beach.
Two of the bedrooms have new murphy beds, one queen, one full-sized.
These beds allow you to use the entire room unless you want to
sleep. Or you can leave the beds down, your choice. There is a
large TV in the living room and one bedroom has a small TV. The
upstairs bedroom has a single bed, a private bath and a great deck
that looks onto the water. There is a very nice inflatible mattress
available and that can be used upstairs or in the living room area.
The house is not right on the beach which allows the most beautiful
live oak trees to grow on the property, all the way up to the front
deck. All of the bedrooms have private decks also, although the
decks in the middle bedrooms are quite small.
The front deck has chairs and a small table, a full sized gas grill
and a nice, lighted umbrella. The sunsets are simply breath taking
everywhere on the island and especially from this deck. And, if you
are lucky enough to see the fog come in, you'll never forget how
pretty it is. The living room is bright and open and the small
dining room is simply perfect if you choose to eat indoors.

Flanked by pine trees, palm trees and live oaks on the roads leading
to the island, you suddenly come around a corner to the most
beautiful sunset you've ever seen. Or mist on the Apalachicola Bay.
Or dolphin playing and feeding in schools.
St. George Island has something for everyone. Beach shops, fabulous
restaurants, bicycle and golf cart rentals (our golf cart is included
with this rental), St. George Island State Park and the famous,
restored St. George Island Lighthouse. The Lighthouse has recently
added an authentic Lighthouse Keeper's house/gift shop next door.
There are 2 local grocery stores and 2 gas stations.
Just across the bridge is Eastpoint and then over another bridge and
you'll drive right into the middle of Apalachicola, Florida.
This historic fishing village also has wonderful, old Civil War era
homes, an old graveyard with 2 civil wars veterans, huge old brick
warehouses and large avenues where cotton was sold right from the
docks. For many a visit to the old churches is fun. And the Gorrie
Museum is open 7 days a week if you'd like to see the first ice
machine. Some of the best seafood in Florida is served right here.
And they say we have the best oysters in the world, right from the
Apalachicola Bay (available in town or on the island).
Driving back to the island you will across 2, 6-mile bridges to St.
George Island. Pelicans love to fly next to your car and the water
views from both bridges is simply amazing. Once on the island you
can stroll on the beach, drive the golf cart around, maybe listen to
some local music at one of the local beach bars, take a long stroll
on the beach or just sit on the deck at the house and enjoy it all
from there. Hopefully someone will cook freshly caught seafood on
the outdoor grill.
