Excellent Accommodation and Location for Exploring the surrounding area.
Very impressed with the furnishings and kitchen supplies. The host and local manager were very considerate. The location was terrific for exploring both east and west of Eastpoint, as well as St. George Island.

Thanks so much Cathleen. We’re always happy to have the opportunity to host great guests like you and your family. Thanks for taking great care of our home and we hope to host you again sometime.
Here’s a review draft… We had a great experience during our stay at this wonderful Eastpoint home! The location was perfect for us. It’s close to everything we wanted to do while being away from any crowds. It sits right on the Apalachicola Bay with a beautiful, unobstructed view. The home is fantastic! The pictures are great but honestly, don’t do it justice. It’s decorated beautifully and is much larger than we expected. The kitchen is better equipped than any VRBO we’ve ever seen. The same applies for the bathrooms. Finally, the communication from the owner and property manager is tremendous. They are prompt, professional and, very helpful. We hope to return sometime soon! Thank you!!

Came to go on fishing in the Gulf. Caught plenty of fish and house was only 8 miles from marina. The home was very spacious and had everything you could need, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers etc. Nice gated community. Will be back again!

That’s wonderful! I’m glad you found everything you needed and you were successful fishing too. We’d be happy to have you back.
This trip was great for our family!!! We all enjoyed the location and convenience of the house. I have never stayed at a rental that had as many items that made our stay even better (beach chairs, towels, toys, movies and games). The place was super clean and large enough for all of us. We will definitely be staying again!

Thanks, Diane. We love guest who appreciate what we do to make staying at our place a great experience.
Immaculate vacation home!! Everything about this home, location, surroundings, neighbors is wonderful. The home is beautiful and very well stocked. The sunrises from the back porch are priceless. St. George Island is a short distance away and Blue Parrot is an excellent place to eat. Also, Apalachicola is close by; great shops and Up the Creek Raw Bar is a good place to eat. We totally enjoyed our stay!
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!

Glad to hear we're your first choice & hope you can return soon.
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!

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.

We’re happy to have repeat guests who take great care of our home. Thank you!
We stayed for a week. We were surprised by how well stocked the house is. There was an abundance of dishes, cutlery and cookware. We saw dolphins from the patio every day, as well as trout and sting rays on the beach. It's a beautiful home and has everything you need for a large family toddlers included. We had a wonderful time and will absolutely consider staying again the next time we vacation in the area.

Thanks, we’re glad our home worked well for you and your family.
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. 🙂
Our stay in Franklin county was very good. The house was clean and comfortable, the best equiped house I think we have ever stayed in. When we had questions they were answered quickly and satisfactory. We would stay again as long as the pool issue is addressed. Thanks, Sandy

Thanks Sandy, the pool was serviced shortly after you brought to our attention that the pump was not running and our neighbors are now going down between the scheduled service days to skim debris that blows in.
We go to vacation every two month. And this is the first time we have encountered a owner who can provided such complete good quality accessories. The owners provided of everything you need for vacation. Thanks to the owner for being so thoughtful and considerate. The great property was clean and beautiful. The bed very comfortable and the view very beautiful. We will be back !!!

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!

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.
