Sweet beach cottage

What a cute little cottage in a nice, quiet neighborhood! The location was good, just a couple blocks (5 minutes walk) to the bay for sunsets or kayaking and same quick walk to the beach public access boardwalk. The cottage feels private, surrounded by trees and has a cute yard with trees. The home itself has two small bedrooms and one small bathroom. I think it’s suited best for one couple’s getaway or two friends staying together. Otherwise it may be tight quarters with the one tiny bathroom. It’s an older house, but the kitchen and floors are updated. The kitchen was a bit dirty on our arrival, so I cleaned surfaces and swept up myself. Overall, we loved the place and did not want to leave! We’d love to stay again.

Quiet & Comfortable

The place was clean and neat, and it had all that was needed for a comfortable stay. A small suggested improvement, would be to install screens on the East & West window on the sun-porch so that evening breezes could be enjoyed without bugs intruding...

Great Dog Friendly Beach Trip

The house was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Nice location which also provided privacy. It was our first time to St. George Island. Being such a dog friendly Island was very fun! Only place I know where dogs were allowed on the beach and all were well behaved. The beaches were beautiful. My dog Ginger loved her first beach experience. Larry, Ginger, and I are going back in June. Yea! The property manager was extra nice and accommodating. Thank you!

Mommy and daughter spring break getaway

This is my daughter and I second year vacation at St. George Island. The papa shack was super cute and the exact size we needed for my daughter and I and our two little dogs. We had tons of privacy to make it feel like our own and it was just a quick walk to the beach. It was a ways down from the main portion of the island so if you wanted to go there, you needed to drive, but it wasn’t far at all. All the people on St. George are so friendly. The check-in process was seamless and the checkout process was super easy. I wish the weather was more cooperative, but a cold front was coming in, but definitely cannot control that. If it was warmer, we would’ve taken advantage of the outside a little more because it is so Covered I think we could’ve truly enjoyed the little lights outside more. Super cute would like to stay again.

Fantastic

I cannot say enough about this property. It is a perfect hideaway near the beach. Lots of privacy! The beds were comfortable. Very clean. The fire pit was a really nice festure and used every night as it was cool in the evenings. The beach is a close walk but we did rent a golf cart and it was fun. The house gives you the old beach bungalow vibe with modern amenities. Did not want to leave! Highly recommend this property!!

Restful Retreat

We had a great stay here during our visit to SGI. The house is private, tucked away in the trees and a very short walk to the beach. It’s a great place to just relax and rest in peace and quiet. We went for walks on the beach and also visited nearby Apalachicola, which offers downtown shopping and restaurants. The Piggly Wiggly on the island has basic necessities and a great meat counter for steaks and some seafood. We had a great time and would love to come back!

Awesome beach, relaxing town, great for dogs

We had a blast. Relaxing stay. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THERE. A quick jog right and then left opens up the driveway on Pine st. You are moments from the beach and its a straight shot. Wagon in the washroom is a nice touch. To hot to enjoy the fire pit for us, the private feel the location is nice. House was clean. It was two of us and a doggy. No issues, plenty of space, and really enjoyed the boardgames. Nice touch. Bed is comfy and clean. I like having a king...so that was good. A/C's worked good. Paddy's great food and fun, BJ's chicken bacon pizza AMAZING. Take a short ride to Apalachicola its a few minutes away and a fun day of shopping, eating, looking at historical buildings. We will be back.

Loved Papa Shack

We really enjoyed staying at Papa Shack for our vacation. It’s so cute! It was just a short walk to the beach, and near where the rest of our family was staying. We loved the privacy of the yard. The check in and out process was easy. We had everything we needed. Our only suggestion would be for the cleaning crew to be a little more thorough. We would love to stay here again.

Natural beauty

Great place nestled in some beautiful coastal scrub, very private and quiet. Short walk to beach. We rented a golf cart which was fun and a great way to check out the environs. Very clean and all the amenities were there. Loved the place and was a perfect place for our four.

Perfect beach house!

We loved our stay at Papa Shack! The location was perfect - secluded, but close enough to the beach for quick access. The interior had everything we needed for two of us and our small beagle/boxer mix. The kitchen was well appointed with utensils and plates and cups. The couch is so comfy and perfect for afternoon naps. We will be back!

Dirty

This property was not clean even though you paying a cleaning fee. The bed sheets had not been changed. My daughter washed her sheets because she seen hair on the sheets. The dishwasher you could not use because the dishwasher door could not open completely because the refrigerator was to big and sticking out so far it blocked it from opening completely.

Privacy, convenience, clean.

Private oasis. Perfect for two adults and two dogs in December. Clean, white, uncluttered, in good repair with everything we needed. We appreciated empty kitchen cabinets and plenty of closet and dresser space. Loved being surrounded by green and sheltered from the wind. It's located a block off the main road, so only slow local traffic and very little foot traffic. You can hear the surf from the yard. Easy to walk or drive to one of the many beach access points. On really windy days we walked the sheltered bay side at low tide. Quick drive to Piggly Wiggly which is small but had everything we needed. The living room has been updated with a driftwood end table for the sofa and black out curtains for a bedroom window. The mini split hvac system kept us comfortable and ran quietly. Ground level was great for our dogs and our knees. Being off season we saw very few people on the beaches. Very enjoyable. Temps, for our stay, were 60s to low 70s. Loved the cabin and location for a quiet relaxing stay. Thank you for allowing dogs!
