I love that we are centrally located between the two bridges for quick access to shopping or the beach, but it is quieter and more relaxing than either. Serene location with bay breezes and views and lots of wildlife. Use the sidewalk to visit the Marine Estuary and fishing pier a block away.

This was our second time staying here for a family beach trip and it was once again, such a lovely home to rent and an amazing trip and experience!! So thankful!!
Very quiet and peaceful setting, love the large screened porch. Home very clean and spacious with great stocked kitchen and enjoyed the ping pong table and corn hole with the great area underneath. Also proximity to St. George and Appalachiola was nice. Property manager very nice and helpful!
The location being in between St. George Island and Apalachicola is convenient. The house was clean, well appointed, and cozy. Ample seating. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely screened porch. Very quick response time from the host. No complaints.
Property, location, and hostess were all perfect. We loved our stay and would recommend Tropical Treehouse to anyone that wants the perfect cozy getaway.
This is the best place we’ve stayed in the Eastpoint/Apalachicola area!! Deborah’s place is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and she is a wonderful host! We had a brief plumbing issue but she had a plumber out immediately to fix it. All correspondence with her was quick and friendly! We look forward to staying there again!!
We enjoyed and appreciated our visit. The home is welcoming and peaceful.
I especially appreciated the layout of the property because we could find tranquil niches which allowed us to relax.
Loved that the home was centrally located between Apalachicola and St. George Island. House was very homey, lots of room, and enjoyed the wrap around porch. Well stocked kitchen and baths, also enjoyed the large shaded lot and parking underneath.
We had a great stay! The property was spotless and had everything we could want or need. The location, right between SGI and Apalachicola, was very convenient for all of the activities we wanted to do. The screened in porch was perfect, and we enjoyed walking our dog along the bay, right across the street. Our kids are already asking when we can go back, and we’re looking at dates in the fall for another visit!
The house was gorgeous inside and out. There was so much room and the three bathrooms with showers helped so much. There was More than enough parking as well. We loved our stay. The house was less than a minute from the bridge to St. George Island and just minutes from Appalachicola. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Everything was perfect! This is a beautiful home, not a place thrown together for rental purposes. Everything is top-notch and very clean. We we loved the large paver area below the house that will be perfect when we return with our boat. We have stayed at many short-term rentals and this is by far the best of all. We highly recommend this property.
The house was very nice and clean. It had everything you needed. It was very close to everything. I even enjoyed playing games with my grandkids that was provided.
I loved the house and the beautiful view of the bay from the front porch. The cornhole and ping pong came in very handy also especially when it was raining. Very well stocked kitchen and super clean house. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and answered questions promptly. Would stay here again for sure.
We really enjoyed our week here. The kids stayed busy playing cornhole, ping pong and darts, when we weren't at the beach. The house is centrally located to all the areas we enjoy when coming here. It is a lovely home and the owners Deb and Steve, pay so much attention to little details made our stay so much more convenient. Thank you for sharing, hope we can stay here again next year!

It is lovely; appointed with beautiful pictures and clean attractive furniture. The children loved the bunk bed and it’s windows. Adults enjoyed wrap around screened in porch!!
We were looking for a non-condo style vacation home and the Tropical Treehouse was the right choice. The location is wonderful and the property is lush with beautiful landscapes. We loved sitting on the screened porch and playing some of the many games offered. The house was stocked with really nice amenities and very clean. We loved the towels!!
Wonderful property between Apalachicola and St. George
The house was exactly as advertised. The surprise for me was the outstandingly stocked pantry. Coffee, tea, spices and more! Wow! Our host Deborah was readily available to solve a minor issue on our arrival. We would wholeheartedly recommend this home to everyone.
Thank you Deborah!
A beautiful home in an amazing vacation destination! The house was a perfect family retreat, and the owner was very accommodating. Everything in the home is very thought out. Cool bunk beds for the kids to include some books and board games to keep them having fun. The complete kitchen allowed us to have some great meals without breaking the bank. We spent every morning and evening on the screened-in wrap around porch having coffee and drinks without having to worry about mosquitos. We had an overall fantastic experience.

About the host
Hosted by Deborah Stamatinos
I have been so lucky to have lived in this beautiful place for the last 20 years and am excited to share it with others! I hope you love it as much as I do! I ran Island Adventures on St. George Island for many years, but sold it to my employees so i could work on the farm I inherited from my family. While you are on St. George, check it out, great bunch working there! I grew up in the Panhandle area and spent ever summer on the beaches, swimming, boating, fishing and crabbing. It is great family fun and a wonderful get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property after selling a couple of homes on St. George Island, because it had more land, fewer restrictions and was more private, yet right between to both St. George Island or Apalachicola. I find the setting to be ideal for relaxing and unwinding from stress.
What makes this property unique
You will find staying here is very quiet where the main beach area can be very crowded and loud during the summer months. However if you have access to all the beach areas in about 5 minutes. It is close enough to drive guests over, come back for lunch then go back for an evening walk. However, you may want to go to our local brewery in the evenings and share a pizza or maybe take the kids to the Estuary. The Red Pirate has wonderful seafood just down the street! Or maybe you want to see the shops in Apalachicola or eat at the famous Owl Cafe! All just 5 minutes away!
