Welcome to the Forgotten Coast and to Ocean Mile J9!
Our 300 Ocean Mile Unit J9 is just one unit out of the 100 unit townhome community, comprised of 1 to 3 bedroom units constructed in the early 1980s, all in a half-moon shaped arrangement around the community pool which faces the beach - to be even more exact on location, we're on the East End of the island next to the gorgeous State Park just steps away! This unit may have been built 30 years or more ago, but immediately our travelers notice very spacious and brightly colored living spaces combined with the basic comforts of home to create an overall inviting stay at the beach!
Ocean Mile J9 has two private sun decks, one located on the second level for the Queen Bedroom and the other on the third level for the King Suite to grab those warm, relaxing salt breezes and views of both the Gulf and Bay! Another sun deck is just off of the main living room which is also furnished and provides access to the boardwalk system to give you easy access to the pool and beach! (This pool is not heated). There is a pet/child gate located in the down stairs pantry closet if needed for added safety.
J9 is designed with beach living for small families in mind and is dog- friendly (up to 2 dogs max); the unit is very- well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, a spacious living area that provides a 65" LCD flat panel display with Roku and Netflix that allow you to bring your account access with you. There is a very nice selection of Academy Award Winning movies - some DVD and some VHS - and may be watched on the players in each bedroom as well. We also have a a small book library to tie everything together. If you want to challenge the mind, a few board games and puzzles can be found under living room TV. The Queen Bedroom shares the full bath in the hall containing a walk - in shower, no tub. Just up the stairs are a full size washer and dryer and just beyond is the King Master with Vaulted Ceiling, a private balcony and the biggest bubble bath tub you can ever imagine!
* Floor covering is ceramic tile in most of the unit with carpeting in the bedrooms. *We have grilling supplies located in the pantry closet but only grills at the common grounds area at the pool can be used. *Sorry, HOAA restrictions prohibit having golf carts on site.
We are adjacent to the state park which offers access to boat launch, kayaking in calm waters, fishing and unspoiled beaches.
Nearby Apalachicola will entice you with fine dining, boutiques, galleries, antiques, a dog park, and beautiful parks . Be sure to visit the farmers market in Apalachicola. Farm fresh vegetables, jams, breads, fresh off the boat seafood, and local artisan crafts.
Bring your fishing gear for world class surf casting or book a charter with one of the excellent local guides.
Note: Ocean Mile Supports The Leave No Trace Ordinance. All Beach Gear Must Be Removed From The Beach By 9pm During Turtle Nesting Season. (May 1st Through Oct 31st)

Very pleased with J9. Perfect location for beach and pool access. Complex is well maintainened. Toilets could be upgraded. All toilets were very slow to flush and very low seated for older adults. We will definitely visit again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Really short walk to the beach which made it perfect for our 2 Goldens as they needed breaks from time to time to go back for a nap. The pool was more than expected, spent a few relaxing hours there as well when we were finishing our day from the beach. We would stay here again for sure. Thanks!
Perfect place for a laid back family looking for easy beach and pool access. The beds are comfy, the showers are perfect, and the home has all the basic necessities. It was a great place for us to stay.

Thank you so much for the awesome review! Come again anytime!
We had good time. We always come during December and love how quiet the area is during this time of year. The host was great to accommodate our requests. Also being close to the State Park was a bonus for us. We had never stayed at Ocean Mile and the community was very nice and super close to the beach with a nice beach view. The grill area was also clean and very convenient. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Susie thank you so much for the review and the picture! Come again anytime!
This place was SO much bigger than the pictures show! We were thrilled to see that upon check in. It’s like walking into a 90s Florida condo in the best way. The view was GREAT and the new decks were fantastic. The pool and beach were so close!! The only negatives were that there was dog hair on most surfaces but especially the couch. I knew it was a dog friendly unit but I didn’t think the couches would be covered in dog hair and random brown smudges. That part was a little gross. The main sliding door doesn’t lock - only has a bar to secure it. All that said, we had a fantastic stay in a cozy, beautiful condo that felt nostalgic and met all of our needs. I would highly encourage others to stay here. Just suggest asking cleaners to clean the sofas. Thank you for a great stay!

Thank you for the awesome review! I appreciate the feedback - it's high season and it helps when folks tell us when we miss something. I have had the sofas and chairs cleaned! Come again anytime!
This is the quieter side of the island, closer to the park. The busy side is 4 miles away, not that far away.There are two pools in the complex as well as the beach and ocean.complex has been doing upgrades/ maintenance over the past few years and are still doing them . That’s what happens when buildings are near beaches and saltwater.Appalachicola is close by- has interesting shops and restaurants.Saint George Island has as well.spent the week here..There are several places on the forgotten coast to stay and visit. Our families have been coming for a number of years. If you want to explore, there’s always something you can do. If you just want to slow down sit on the beach and enjoy the view and waves it’s there. If you just want to go walk on the beach it’s not crowded..No big tall buildings or crowded beaches. Like the slower pace. Have time with your family and friends. Be with your better half.Enjoy the wonderful seafood. For those that don’t love seafood- there’s plenty of options there as well. Not too far away from a day trip to the more busy activity areas of Florida, if that’s your thing.If you’re interested in biking the island, you can. It’s geared towards that , with a bike path and pedestrian..Speed limit is 35. Our families had three different units/ owners. The complex was pretty quiet both inside and outside of the unit.Like the picture shows you can see the ocean, both on the main deck as well as the master bedroom deck.
The beach is beautiful; the property is really nice, easy access to a nice built in pool and the beach. The condo was comfortable and everything worked with out any problems. Our dog taught herself how to catch crabs, she literally did not want to come home. We had a great time. Plenty of places to eat and get coffee.

About the host
Hosted by George Kalet
We discovered St. George Island in the mid 90's and immediately loved the dog friendly, clean white beaches and the old Florida lifestyle.
We had the opportunity to purchase J9 in 2008, and have not looked back. We purchased another unit in Ocean Mile and moved here permanently in December 2015.
Why they chose this property
We love the community feeling, and have met good friends over the years, both as renters and owners. These friendships remain years later. We love the non commercial, family atmosphere of the island, and living in the "simpler times".
What makes this property unique
Ocean Mile is a 99 home community with 2 pools, and well manicured grounds. It offers direct access to the Gulf of Mexico with its abundant fish and wildlife. Excellent fishing and the opportunity to experience Mother Nature at her best.
