Heavenly slice of the Bay

What a wonderful location and perfectly delightful and serene view from the living room, master, and porch! Everything was perfectly appointed and the communications were first-rate. A first-class location near great restaurants and shopping with a quick jaunt over the bridge to St. George Island. Definitely our first choice in the area, especially when needing 3 bedrooms!

Amazing view

The house was immaculate. This was my first time using Vrbo or anything like it so I was nervous. The property manager and home owner was very helpful and patient. The view cannot be described with words. The home had everything you could think of toiletries sleeping cots they thought of it all. I will definitely be back and would recommend this property for vacation

Spectacular!

The house was very nice, spacious of so well-equipped! The screened porch was a delight, not to mention the view and Adirondack on the patio. We had a lovely view to SGI (where we attended a wedding on Sugar Hill). Thank you the wonderful stay at your house. PS, Laura the property manager was very proactive and awesome.

Absolutely Incredible, 5 stars for sure!!!!!

My family and I loved this house! Upon entry you are greeted with a beautiful open floor plan with a spectacular view! Everything has been thought of! Decor and furniture are top notch! The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you will need, right down to the salad spinner! I loved all of the little well thought of extras throughout the home. Incredible DVD selection, tons of games, baskets with beach supplies and bbq supplies and more! This property is very clean, very well taken care of and it shows! This house is definitely #1 on our list and we will be returning!

Seashore Serenity

The property is aptly named as it sits directly across the road from the sound with St. George's Island in the distant background. It has an unobstructed view of the water with access to a fishing pier or just a place to enjoy the beautiful views. The home is the best stocked that we may have ever stayed in. It is located between two wonderful small towns which are great to visit and have excellent restaurants. There are also several wildlife refuges and state parks nearby that are fantastic excursions. I highly recommend this home. The owner and property manager are also excellent to communicate with and are driven to assure you have a marvelous visit.

Just a short Getaway!

This property is amazing! It is so clean and is the best equipped home we’ve ever stayed in 40years we’ve been visiting. The owner and property manager were very responsive. They both checked in with us while we were there to make certain we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back again. This small community is quiet and just what we were looking for. 🙂

Vacation getaway.

Beautiful vacation home; very spacious. The neighborhood was very nice and safe. The neighbors were very friendly. The property manager was spot on with getting us set up. Only one little thing. The picture of the pier makes it look like its in the back yard. When in fact you have to go down a hill and cross the highway to get to it. Otherwise I would highly recommend this property.

The perfect getaway

Everything was clean and organized. We were extremely comfortable, and, enjoyed the beauty of the home and the surrounding yard. The view of the ocean was wonderful and, we enjoyed the pool immensely! Only 15 minutes from St. George Island way took several trips there and visited Apalachicola! We had a grand time! Great family vacation spot!! Looking forward to a return trip!

A beautiful, spacious home!

This beach house is very spacious and is the most well-stocked beach home we have stayed in, in our 18 years of travel. The beds and couch were so comfortable! The view of St. George Bay is serene and relaxing. The huge screened in porch was wonderful to sip coffee on in the evenings. We would recommend this place. The only downside we found was that the water at the dock is only about 2 feet deep and so you won't catch anything fishing. My husband was looking forward to that but since you can't catch fish we ended up driving to the old bridge going to St. George Island, which is only about 8 miles away. We did see dolphins every day and the guys enjoyed combing the sand/beach every day at low tide. It is good to take bug spray and white long sleeves for when the yellow flies hit the area. They were not bad the week we stayed.You will love this house and view!!

Beautiful house and view!

It was the perfect place to stay. The property was beautiful and so was the house! Everything was well stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware. It was very convenient to St George Island and will definitely be back. No need to take your beach chairs or a small cooler everything was available. The owners thought of everything you need for a perfect vacation. The bed in the master was very comfortable, so much that I had to see the brand. The view from the screened porch was very beautiful!! It was a blessing to find such a beautiful place!!

Beautiful, inviting house. Spacious and comfortable for the whole family to relax.

This house was perfect for a beautiful, relaxing vacation. Well stocked with everything you need and then some. The owner and property manager are both great to work with! Beautiful views of the water, short drive to the beach with very few people. Not touristy and crowded. Note the nearest Walmart is over an hour away. But great little restaurants and shops in the area. We seen dolphins, manatees, a huge sea turtle, sting rays and a bald Eagle all in the wild! We will definitely be back!

Our family vacation paradise

From the time we booked, through our entire stay, the communication with Shelly and Laura was outstanding. The Home is absolutely breathtaking! I enjoyed waking up early and sitting outside watching the sunrise over the bay while sipping my coffee. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing. We saw fish jumping, stingrays, crabs and an array of birds. My daughter caught a stingray, that was quite interesting. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool everyday we were there. Saint George Island it’s just a short drive, we found that park around street 10 or 11, there are not many people on the Beach. The sand and water are some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen. There are many wonderful restaurants to choose from. We cannot wait to return and make more memories…

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Fales

After renting and RVing in the area multiple times since 2007, we decided in July of 2021 to purchase a home for retirement and family vacations. Presently we spend some mid-winter time in our RV further south in Florida; we utilize this home with our friends and family mostly in the fall and spring and we spend our summers in Michigan.
Since we do not use it full-time, we feel fortunate to have found an outstanding local contact person to help us make it possible to offer short term rentals of our Eastpoint home during the mid-winter months and during the summer.

Why they chose this property

For years we have watched several subdivisions in the area as they began to be developed. We were especially attracted to this one because of the higher elevation, as it sits on a bluff overlooking St.George's Sound. The view is what sold us, with just a two-lane highway (which does not obstruct the view) between us and the gulf; it is amazing. Additional amenities including the private beach area, fishing dock and community pool sealed the deal.

What makes this property unique

We especially love this area because it is rural and because there are multiple beach access points. From Carrabelle to Saint George Island State Park, there are countless places for surf fishing, water sports, beach walking and shelling. We are not fans of traffic nor rows of high rise condos and hotels and you won't find those here. This home is in a small, family-friendly subdivision and not attractive or suitable to wild and crazy spring-breakers. The surrounding towns and Saint George Island have many unique shops and restaurants, but if we need "city" time, Tallahassee is an easy 60 mile drive.
