This house was so much better than the description says. The view from the balcony was amazing! Watched a pod of dolphins swim by during the day and stargazed at night. The house was very clean and had so much natural sunlight. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Host was great and easy to reach during our stay. Great location near the center of the island and a clear view of/walk to the beach across the street. Older St. George Island home (as are many in the middle of the island); however nicely renovated recently and very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, large and comfortable common room and bedrooms.Only quibble we had was it would be nice to have a bit more comfortable bedding in the master bedroom (the bed itself was comfortable however).

We had a very comfortable and fun week at the blue wave! We stayed there a couple years ago and they have renovated the inside. The floors are new. The counters are new and I think the second bathroom is as well. It’s a short walk across the road to get to the path to the beach maybe 150 yards total and they have all the accessories you would need in the kitchen. And even some coolers in the laundry room if you needed them.The only thing I will say is that the pool is pretty darn small. If you want it just to relax in and cool off. It’s pretty good but if you have small kids and you want them to be able to play, it’s not really made for that. I did have my seven year-old and three year-old with me and we spent time in it. Don’t give me wrong but if there is any more of them, it would’ve been too small.

About the host

Hosted by Tish Ricker

Host profile image
We have been going to St. George Island for over twenty years and there is no beach like it! The undisturbed beauty and tranquility are so refreshing and the beaches are pristine. Dolphin watching is a regular thing and there are never big crowds. Come experience a rare secluded unspoiled beach. As a native Floridian, I can say this beach is truly special. This is the second home we have owned on the island.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful pristine beaches, no crowds, unspoiled natural beauty - great for bird watchers and nature lovers alike. We also love how charming downtown Appalachicola is with great shopping, restaurants and only twenty minutes away.

What makes this property unique

BEACH FRONT VIEWS WITHOUT BEACH FRONT RATES! Because the 2 lots in front of this home have not been built on, there's nothing between you and the cool blue water.
