Sunshine yellow on the outside and light teal on the inside, this beautiful oceanfront home is special in many ways - not least because of its stargazing tower, perfect for enjoying the wonderful views of the Gulf by day and watching for shooting stars at night! You'll adore the ocean views from almost all rooms within the house, to say nothing of the decor that pays tribute to the ocean. This unbeatable gem has been recently renovated with all three bathrooms beautifully remodeled, a brand new ocean-facing main deck, and updated living room furniture and dining table. Refined decor comes to life in bright seaside colors, resulting in a cheerful Southern-chic look throughout the home. Tile floors and refinished hardwood floors mean that you'll feel the central air conditioning throughout your stay no matter what room you stay in. You'll be able to cook up something delicious inside the spacious kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a kitchen island - eat in the dining room or at the breakfast bar with enough seating for four. Better yet, take it out to the spacious and brand new (2022) sundeck furnished with new Adirondack chairs. Guests of the upper-level bedroom can enjoy views from a beach-facing deck all their own.

If you're looking to spend most of your time out by the beach (and why wouldn't you?), this home has the amenities you need to make it happen. Walk down to the beach on a small footpath. Rinse off the sand in an enclosed outdoor shower with both hot and cold water. Process your catch of the day at the fish cleaning station. The entire ground area shaded deck under the house has enough built-in seating for everyone to relax. The family dog is also welcome to join in on the beach fun at this home!

WHAT’S NEARBY
When you're ready to head out for delicious local food, Paddy's Raw Bar and Blue Parrot Ocean Front Cafe are both within one mile of the home. Take a visit to the St George Lighthouse museum less than a mile away and take in the view! St. George Island State Park is just seven miles away - electric mobility-assisted sand scooters are available so that everyone can enjoy the sand and surf. The charming town of Apalachicola is just a short drive away.

Unresponsive hosts & horrible house issues
We were notified 3 days before arrival that there was ongoing construction at the house. We were told we could stay elsewhere. But we were never given an option and no one could describe the construction. I called multiple times, emailed, texted. NO ANSWERS. No one would respond. No one would talk to me. We finally just went to the house. The location was awesome so we unloaded. But there were multiple issues. Ceiling construction was creepy and gross, several windows had no blinds, other blinds were broken, kitchen trash can broken, no bags for it, holes in the wall , washer didn’t work, front door lock didn’t work properly—we had to leave back door unlocked when we left to get back in, kitchen faucet didn’t turn off properly—had to jiggle it to get it to turn off, no hot water in one of the bathrooms, I texted VACASA. They said you can leave for a refund or we can move. But not options to move were ever given. VRBO & VACASA were unresponsive and unhelpful. I’m mad as hell, expect a refund and will never use either VRBO or VACASA again.

Not Worth it
We enjoyed the time with our family but the stay in the home was disappointing. Not worth the price in my opinion. This place was very hazardous especially with kids. One of our children cut her toe on the buckled wood flooring and we were constantly tripping over the damaged flooring. Then the ceiling started caving/buckling in. Around the vents looked moldy and the microwave quit working but it looked old anyways but with a baby a microwave was a necessity. Overall I would not stay here again. We’re pretty simple people to make happy but this was just unexceptable. I even contacted Vacasa and sent photos and never even got a callback or follow up. I actually had to contact Vacasa the day we were leaving because I never heard anything. This was extremely hazardous and we didn’t feel like we got the appropriate care.

We loved our week in Lighthouse by the Sea! The location was amazing. Steps to the beach. A minute from the Lighthouse. My family loved it. The house had everything we needed. We would certainly rent it again.
