About this property

Happiness Bay: Saint George Island Waterfront Luxury

Saint George Island may be the best-kept secret in Florida. It's unspoiled natural beauty and laid-back vibe make it ideal for people who want to unplug and unwind. No high rises, stoplights, street lights, or billboards. On our end of this 26-mile-long barrier island, there's only one road. We're on the Apalachicola Bay side, but the Gulf beach is across the street, with private beach access for our guests. You can watch the sunrise on the beach, and sunsets from our private dock or hot tub. Many of Saint George Island's vacation rentals are large homes that rent only by the week. We designed Happiness Bay Studio for two people, for any length of stay, so you can make a quick escape to Saint George whenever your schedule allows. The space is designed for luxury and convenience. The kitchenette has a mini fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, double hot plate, coffee pot, with coffee, oil, and spices. This is a ground-floor studio apartment with private entrance and self check-in via digital lock. The hosts occupy the second and third floors of the home.

Peaceful and serene. Lovely studio and thoughtful floorplan. I'm sure many have enjoyed this special place, as it is showing a little wear. The grounds could use sprucing. Hot tub not accessible, but it's too hot for that right now any. State Park offers a much better kayak launch. Loved reading early mornings on the very private dock. Mullet swimming and jumping. Eagles on the beach.

Charming and Peaceful

A wonderful studio in a peaceful and secluded property. Everything we needed was provided. We made great meals and enjoyed the view while dining. We were lucky to see an eagle flying by. The Piggly Wiggly Mini has a great variety. Good restaurants! The State Park was fantastic and very close! Lots of nice shops and restaurants in Apalachicola. Able to book less than a week! A fantastic get away!!

Darling studio

A darling studio located in a beautiful area of the bay. An easy walk to the gorgeous beach. Truly a special little nest. We appreciated the fact that we could rent it for just one night during our road trip.

Best of both worlds

You’ve got the bay behind the house and the beach right across the street. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the dock. Living quarters were quaint, well-equipped, super clean, and just enough space for the two of us. The host was very informative and responsive leading up to the trip. Check-in and check-out was easy peasy. Will definitely be back!

Looking forward to my next stay

I stayed here for two nights in mid-December. The room was just as pictured. The space was perfect for me and my dogs. The entire place was spotless, the bed was so comfortable, the water pressure was great, and the check-in process was seamless. The hot tub was a welcomed plus, and it was preset to the perfect temperature. The dock overlooking the bay was the icing on the cake! It was the perfect place to sit and clear your mind, or watch the sunset. Eagles were nesting in the trees close to the dock, herons were landing close by, and fish were jumping like crazy--so that was fun to watch. Bring your binoculars! Lastly, communication with the owner was a breeze, very nice to deal with. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Beach & Bay

Great location! On the bay but a quick walk to the beach. The SGI State Park was amazing. The place was nice for the 2 nights we stayed. Wish we would have stayed longer to explore the island more and had more time on the beach, which by the way was empty! Great for relaxing.

We loved our stay here ! Property was super nice. Private beach access was great. Loved being only a couple miles from town. I loved the quietness of the town and getting away from the hustle and bustle from the busy beach town. The family that owns the property were very kind and friendly. Only critique was the booking screen says no dogs but the book of rules on the night stand says dogs are allowed and this stunk because we wanted to bring our dog. This isn’t a negative but a be aware to other potential customers, you are renting the bottom room of the house so imagine being on the bottom floor apartment. Thoroughly enjoy our stay here.

Birthday on the Bay

This was a pristine and kinda boujee little apartment on the bay. I took coffee out to the dock every morning and let the mullet and the purple martins greet me. It was sooo quiet and private. From the front outdoor seating area, you can hear the waves crashing in the Gulf. Perfect getaway!!
