Fishin Tradition
🐟 Fishin’ Tradition — Your Waterfront Escape! Fishin’ Tradition is truly a one-of-a-kind waterfront home, with a rare bonus feature that could be a game-changer for the boaters and fishermen in your group -- your own private boat launch, right in the backyard.
Bring the boat, jet ski, kayak, paddleboard, canoe, or tubes and enjoy direct access to the bay, just steps away. Come and go as you please, tie up between adventures, and leave your boat in the water overnight if you’d like. This is coastal living done right.
Located on a deep-water canal on the west end of the island at 788 West Bayshore Drive, this home is:
Minutes from Sikes Cut and the island bridge — two local honey holes!
Just 8 short blocks to town
An easy 5-minute walk to the beach
🏡 Space for Everyone (and everything!)
This spacious home offers four private master suites, each with its own full bathroom, shower and private access, all on the first flight.
3 King bedrooms
1 Bunk room with four twin beds
1 Queen sleeper sofa (upstairs)
5 Bathrooms
Every bedroom opens to a deck overlooking the bay / canal or the sparkling pool below — perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
FREE WiFi, cable, and Roku Smart TVs in every bedroom + Vizio smart TV in the living room.
🍽️ Gather, Relax & Make Memories
The open-concept top floor features a fully stocked kitchen and relaxing living area — ideal for gathering, sharing meals, and swapping fish stories.
Natural light fills the space, and dolphin and manatee are often seen frolicking in the canal below. Enjoy the morning sunrise peeking over the horizon from one balcony, and watch the sunset paint the sky from another.
Keyless entry on the first landing makes arrival easy — no keys to juggle, share or lose. The property is very safe, surrounded by nature on every side, with a lot between the home and the closest (part-time) local resident.
⚓ Outdoor Living at Its Best
Outside you’ll enjoy:
More privacy than typical island properties
A dock spanning the length of the property
Private boat ramp on deep water canal
Enough parking for two RVs, boat trailers, a bounce house and a small circus act
Covered parking under the house to accommodate 3 large SUV's
Two large picnic tables on the covered breezeway
Fish-cleaning table on the dock, with two sinks and water faucet with hose
Gas grill and charcoal grill
Plenty of space to relax, grill, and enjoy island time
Lots of open space around the property for fur babies to play catch and run like the wind, away from crowds, as free as they'll ever be... and with limited traffic.
🌴 Locally Owned. Deeply Rooted.
Fishin’ Tradition is owned by a local mother-daughter duo whose family roots on St. George Island date back to the 1800's, with seven generations born and raised right here. Hosting guests has been a family tradition for decades, and we’re excited to continue it with this special home.
Whether you’re here to fish, boat, beach, or simply slow down and soak in the island vibe, we’re honored to host you.
🎣 Book your memories at Fishin’ Tradition — where the fish bite, the stories flow, and the traditions continue.
⛵ FLOAT PLAN: ADDITIONAL INFO FOR BOATERS: BRINGING YOUR BOAT? This canal is the most protected channel, so leaving your boat in the water all week is no problem.
LOCATION: End of the canal, with little boat traffic, if any.
MOORING WHIPS: Tidal changes are not an issue.
BOAT SIZE: Several fishing guides with offshore vessels in the 25-32' range also depart from a connecting canal on lower tides.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: Your host is also a fishing guide and can assist with navigating tidal schedules.
RAMP SIZE: The ramp is wide enough to accommodate boats at least 9'+ wide, with dock space for two to three 25-30+ foot vessels.

About the host
Hosted by Valerie & Krista Miller
Our family has resided on this coast for over 122 years, and we hope you love it as much as we have -- for seven generations! Book your memories with Fishin' Tradition + Island Charters for special rates!
Why they chose this property
We've owned properties on St. George Island since the early 1970's, and rented them out to many fine folks for over thirty years before they were regrettably sold. So, we're excited to continue that rendition, through our new home, "FISHIN' TRADITION".
LET'S TALK CANCELLATIONS... A full, 100% refund will be given if cancellation is made 2 weeks prior to your check-in date. Cancellations made 7 days prior to your check in date will receive a 50% refund. And to save us all from any headaches, we encourage our guests to purchase trip insurance, which is very reasonably priced compared to any of us losing our hard-earned money.
Travel Tip: If you choose to bypass booking through a service or online, or find you're unable to add travel insurance after making the reservation, coverage can still be independently purchased for your trip, within a reasonable timeframe. I'm happy to suggest options. The peace of mind is priceless, especially during Florida's unpredictable hurricane season.
We look forward to hosting you!

What makes this property unique
BRING THE BOAT -- We'll keep ya afloat! Our property hosts one of the few private boat ramps on the island, which is all yours when you rent with us! No one else is permitted to use this treasured amenity while you're a guest in our vacation home -- it's all yours! The adjacent dock spans the entire waterfront, and includes a fish cleaning table with fresh water and a boat house with a sun deck*.
And don't worry, we're not too far away so we can be available to handle any issues that may arise during your stay, and you will have our direct number to call 24/7.
We often offer package deals with weekly reservations, so check out ISLAND CHARTERS Fishing and Guide Service for fishing, sightseeing and much more! Ask about the 2023 specials...
We look forward to hosting your group and making your vacation your most memorable yet!
*The boat house sun deck is being renovated, but should be available, depending on when you book your reservation.
