About this property

Family Friendly. Very Clean. Local Friendly Owners. Beautiful Gulf View.

Across the street from the beach on a private one acre lot! Fool's Gold features Gulf views from the comfort of a newer home! The living area offers an open great room with large well stocked kitchen, spacious dining area, and comfy living room with a large flat screen TV and queen sleeper-sofa sectional. The front porch, right off the living area is great for watching the sunrise over morning coffee or catching a great sunset with afternoon drinks.

The master bedroom offers a king bed, flat screen TV, and private bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. There are two other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a twin over full bunk bed. Both bedrooms feature flat screen TV's. A full bathroom and laundry room with washer and dryer are also located right across the hall.

There is an enclosed shower with hot and cold water located right under the house for rinsing off your sandy toe's. Also downstairs, there is a camp style grill along with extra seating and games for the family. The yard has plenty of room to lay towels or blankets down at night for some great star gazing. There is a deeded beach access boardwalk just two driveways down from the house! Walking time is about two minutes at the most.

We provide a few beach chairs, floats, beach toys and an umbrella for your days under the sun.

It's all about the outdoors on St George Island and our property has plenty of room for parking, so don't shy away from the idea of bringing your boat or golf cart. We are 0.5 mile from the St George Island State Park. The park has a boat ramp, lots of beach access points with paved parking and public restrooms. You can also buy a pass from the Park for fishing the East End Cut. It's a great spot! There are some other fun features on the island! The bike path is just across the street from Fool's Gold. The park with basketball court and playground is 0.7 mile away. Also, climb the 92 steps to the top of the historic St. George Lighthouse for breathtaking 360 degree view of our delicate ecosystem: Apalachicola Bay Estuary, St. George Sound, Gulf of Mexico, Little St. George Island and St. Vincent Island.

Great place to stay on St. George Island

This home was perfect for our trip, which included kids ranging from 2 to 10. We had a great time there and found the property well equipped with working appliances and comfortable beds. The walk to the beach was just as advertised and we would recommend this property for anyone interested in visiting St. George Island, especially if you are coordinating with a family camping at the State Park.

Lovely ocean view

We are neighborhood ladies who were looking for a quiet beach trip to relax and kick back. We sat on the front porch with coffee/tea each day and watched the sunset on the front porch each night In between, we went to the beach, shopped and ate delicious food. Trip was everything we hoped for and we thank our host for all she did for us.

Perfect for our family!

We had an absolutely lovely stay here! Our first time to SGI but definitely not our last. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy. The walk to the beach isn’t bad and the privacy at this home is unmatched. Wooded lot on 3 sides. The home has beach chairs and 2 kayaks as well. Our 2 teenagers enjoyed having their own rooms. Lots of spices already there so check the house before you go shopping. The frying pans and sheet pans have seen better days, but we made it work. We would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome place. Exactly what was listed and exactly what we wanted/expected. Sarah was great before, during, and after the vacation. Will definitely stay again. Reviews say not close to beach....that is a lie....5 minute walk through private resident boardwalk deeded to the house. Yes you can see the water from the house, yes there is plenty of parking, yes there is everything you need, and if you have questions, Sarah will help you!

Wonderful family getaway!

We had a great stay at this property! Nice new'ish home. The house was in great shape. Kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed. We spent alot of time on the front porch looking out over the ocean, reading and just enjoying each other's company. Beautiful beach is short walk and easily accessible. It was a holiday week, but it did not feel crowded at all, which is what we were hoping for. Nice outdoor shower for when you return from the beach. Bike riding is good on St. George with dedicated path. State park at end of island where we stayed was beautiful! There is not an abundance of good restaurants on the island. Our best meals were in Apalachicola and Port St. Joe. Overall though, a great stay and we were grateful to have found this property and experience St. George!

Serenity Now

St. George Island is the perfect place if You like quiet, beautiful, beaches on a island not crowded with over development. Fools Gold is a beautiful home situated right across the road from the beach access. It’s literally a two min walk to a beautiful quite stretch of beach. The home is very nicely decorated, and very well maintained. Surrounded by woods and very private. Front porch is awesome for morning coffee and enjoying the sunrise while looking over the torques waters of the Gulf. One mile away is a beautiful Florida State park. My wife Says she could live in that house. The owners has always been very helpful and communicates well. Second time staying at Fools Gold and looking forward to going back.

Great Mini-Family Vacation

Sarah was great, hospitable, and easy to communicate with and accessible! We visit St. George yearly and have been doing so since 2000 - The island holds a special place in our hearts! This was our first time renting this house, it was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay at the beach. We even left a few things for the house and renters to follow - beach and sand toys, kids nets to catch crabs on the beach, and other various beach items. The only part that was confusing was the beach access - we were stopped by a house directly across the street (beachside) who stated that the beach there was private and we needed to go to the public access areas. However after speaking with them and sharing some commonalties they agreed to allow us to use their access and hunker down on the beach for the duration of our visit. Overall a great vacation and stay!

Great home on SGI!

Amazing stay on SGI! Fools Gold was perfect for our family of 6. So clean and well appointed with everything we needed (even included a high chair and pack n play). Only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Best location on the island. So private but easy to get everywhere. Communication with Sarah was great! She brought a new coffee maker over when the one there didn’t work. Very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend this home and can’t wait to go back!
