About this property

SURFING SEA TURTLE, pool, gulf view, short walk to the beach

Just 2 short blocks to beach and 6 to restaurants. Kitchen/living area on top floor for best ocean views. Large deck for outside dining and a screened porch and Half bath. Down 1 level to King master, Queen guest, (both with walk out decks) and 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds. 2 full baths and laundry. Downstairs on pool level, picnic table, grilling area (park style charcoal), hot & cold outside shower, fish cleaning station with hot and cold water, and covered parking. This level also has a toilet for convenience. Pool can be heated for a fee when night temp is 60 or above in spring (March, April, May) and fall (September, October, November) months heated to 85. The temp during the winter is normally to cold to heat the pool. Great pool area, you actually have room around the pool to enjoy even if not in the pool. We say 2 short blocks to the beach because the blocks on the island are 8 to 11 homes wide but only 2 deep so it is a short walk. While we do not require trip insurance, we do recommend it. No smoking and No pets. We only allow 6 people (4 adults) and 2 autos on the property at any time. Check in info will be sent to the email address you provided about a week before arrival.
MONTHLY RATE Jan and Feb $4200.00 (28 nights)

My family had such a great time staying here! The house was perfect for us! Quick walk to the beach and close to everything that the island had to offer! There is a lot of stairs but it was well worth it!!! Pool was amazing especially aftera long day at the beach!Would definitely stay again!

Fun in sun

Had a very hot week. The pool was heavenly. Large and clean and wonderful. Other than many steps we loved the house. And spent much of our evenings relaxing on screened porch chatting and eating. Would recommend this house. A very quick walk to beach and can see beach from house

SGI is so pleasant

We were very pleased with the home. The listing accurately portrayed the home. The walk to the beach was easy; i was just not a fan of crossing the busy street with a 3 and 5 year old. We really enjoyed the private pool as well! The pool has a cute waterfall! This was our first time to SGI and we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! We will definitely be back to SGI!

Perfect Week

The house was clean and well maintained. The pool was perfect for our family of 4, kids could play on step/deck or adults could sit while the kids swam around. Straight walk to a beach entry. And quick golf cart ride or bike ride to the center of town!! Would definitely consider booking again!!

Great Amenities

This home's pool made the stay - private and heated. Close walk to the beach. Lots of steps and the refrigerator is old so make sure you don't overload it. The owner has a great kitchen with everything you need to cook. I would recommend an ottoman and more couch pillows for late night tv.

Perfect location on SGI

'The Surfing Sea Turtle' was a terrific home to spend a week at, on St. George Island. It's a short/easy walk to Beach access #7, traffic noise was a non-issue because we were off Gulf Beach Dr., the pool provided lovely relaxation once off the beach for the day, and it was just a short drive to 'The Blue Parot' and the on-island grocery stores. Weather was great, the house was well maintained, nicely decorated, and the kitchen appropriately furnished. Certainly would consider 'The Surfing Sea Turtle' on our next SGI stay.

Surfin Sea Turtle

What a wonderful place to stay! Even though we had rain just about every day, this vacation was the best. Close to the beach and center town, the location was fabulous. The pool saved several days. Be warned lots of stairs. Great exercise.

Great house!

The location was great and very close to the beach. The pool is amazing with lots of privacy. Great views of the ocean from the exterior balconies. Everything at the house was working and we had no issues. I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks for a great vacation rental!

A fantastic week

This is our second time staying in this house (first time with the current owners) and the house is SO CLEAN! and the beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is very well appointed- we had fun making homemade ice cream and air popped popcorn. My children particularly LOVED the screened in porch. Proximity to the beach was great, and the pool was a fun alternative to the beach when we were done with sand for a day. Would stay here again!

Great house

We stayed at Surfing Sea Turtle for a family trip. Normally we stay beachfront or the next tier back and I was concerned about the views and walk to the beach with 2 young kids. The views were better than I expected and the walk was shorter than I expected. The house was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 kids, the house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool is clean and well maintained. N

Good overall

Location and pool are great. Outdoor shower very convenient. A few items need repair and attention such as the screen door upstairs and overall cleanliness of the dishes. A few more towels would have been helpful. Attention to these and other finer details would make this property great. We did enjoy however so thank you.

Great place and location

There were 2 sliding glass doors in the unit maybe 3 where the glass was fogged up if those were replaced it would have certainly made for a nicer view additionally the toilets in all 3 bathrooms were very low consider changing them to is them to slightly higher ones. Otherwise we all had a great time enjoyed the pool And the proximity to the beach the kitchen amenities were great And the owners were very easy to communicate with.

Wonderful Getaway

We loved this property. It was clean and beautiful and well stocked. The pictures don't do it justice. The pool area was awesome and private. Plenty spacious for 4 adults and 2 active kids. We appreciated the extra touches of a beach cart, chairs, etc. Beach access was so easy and close, and the bike path is half a block away. With a few rainy days the screened in porch was wonderful to have. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved it here and highly recommend it.

Relaxing!

We had the most relaxing and wonderful time at Surfing Sea Turtle! The master bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The views were even better in person. We loved stargazing on the deck off the living room and enjoying morning coffee on the covered deck. The pool was great and exactly what we wanted! We also enjoyed shopping and dining in Apalachicola. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Thank you for sharing a slice of your paradise.

Amazing!

This house was absolutely perfect. The pool is amazing, large enough for the family with a shallow area for little ones to play, and a covered area for shade. A short, straight walk across the road to the beach. Ocean views from the decks. A screened porch with nice furniture to relax. Close enough to town for a bike ride, but with privacy from other neighbors. Beds were super comfy and kitchen is stocked well. Would most definitely stay again!
