Really nice set up

We stayed 2 weeks. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped - even an iron skillet that was well seasoned! Host was extremely nice and communicated well.

Would’ve loved to have gotten to stay.

Good location, nice house, horrible that the only grocery store is tiny and crazy expensive, host was responsive but felt like the refund issued was unfair considering time spent there. Dirty dishes was also in the dishwasher but looked like cleaner forgot to start it. Arrived at 9pm check in night to find out at 9 am next morning mandatory evacuation was ordered. Host refunded less than 1/3 of original costs. Evacuation was out of anyone’s control and he remained in contact. Had planned to rebook until seen amount he chose to refund.

Beautiful beachy house, perfect location.

We were impressed by the size of this house, so much more spacious than we thought. Plenty of parking space. It was very clean and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked, there was a cot, inflatable mattress, extra pillows and blankets, extra floor fans, as well as games. Great communication from the host, making sure that everything was good before we even arrived. Responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We look forward to staying here in the future.

Loved our stay. Host was very helpful with instructions upon arrival and any questions we had. The place is in a great location and we all loved the decor. Only one complaint. We didn’t seem to have any soap for showers. Maybe we didn’t know where to look but my friend brought her own bar and we split it. Would recommend and will book again.

Steps to the Beach!

The house was immaculate and it was a perfect location. We walked everywhere on the island from the bay to the Gulf beach and never moved the car until we went to Apalachicola and Port St Joe for the day! The house has everything you need for a stay at the beach and was quite comfortable! Easy check in and the owner was very responsive to inquiries and questions! We’ll be back!

Great stay

Lovely, spacious house exactly as advertised, with an easy 3-minute walk to a boardwalk to the beach. Spacious kitchen, lots of dishes and pots and pans, and there were even beach chairs down below so that we didn't need to rent. Owner very communicative and helpful!

Girls trip

This house was perfect for our big girls/little girls trip which consisted of my sisters and our 2 little girls. It was in a great location, we easily walked to the beach with a 1 year old and had beauitful views. The house was perfect and so cute and the prperty manager made sure we checked in and made it there safely. We make this trip every year and this house is on the top of our list to rent again!

Wonderful Experience Here

Don’t bother looking for other houses on St George Island. This is the one you want to rent. We couldn’t ask for a better setup for a quick Labor Day weekend away. One block from the beach made it easy to walk down for sunsets and beach time. We thoroughly enjoyed the front porch with the sea breeze every morning. Kitchen has all the staples you would need for cooking during your stay. Beds and furniture were all super comfy. We are already looking forward to coming back in the future.

The Perfect Beach House!

This is the most awesome beach house. It is close to the beach, close to town, and is as well equipped as it could be. There are fans in each bedroom, plenty of amenities, a great gaming area and bar underneath the main living space, and an outdoor shower, which is my favorite thing ever. We hope to book again because it provided the setting for a wonderful family get away!

About the host

Hosted by Cap't Charlie Hubbard and First Mate Susan

Host profile image
A beautiful July sunset on board the Ms. Barefoot, my 21' ProLine, named after my First Mate/wife Susan. No two sunsets are ever the same and we never tire of seeing them - from the beach or from the boat, it's a miracle to be experienced every day.

Why they chose this property

My sons and I bought this property because we loved all of the amenities that the area has to offer. We had been fishing, boating, camping, and enjoying the beach for years prior to our purchase. My sons and their friends have enjoyed the home and the area since our purchase, and now that my sons have moved away and pursued their careers, my wife Susan and I wish for our guests to share our home and get a taste of what we have had the opportunity to appreciate.

What makes this property unique

With all rentals you will receive a 20% discount at Jolly Roger Rentals just across the street. Just ask for Jerry or Andrew and mention our name and Eaves Tide. Golf carts, bikes, and kayaks. With weekly rentals the owner, Cap't Charlie and his First Mate/wife Susan, will provide a complimentary trip of your choice, a sunset cruise ( 6 people max. ), a river eco tour ( 6 people max. ), or a river kayak trip ( 6 people max. ). Scheduling and weather conditions will be approved by the Captain.
