THE ISLAND
Welcome to beautiful St. George Island, located along Florida's
Forgotten Coast. St. George Island is a 27 mile long barrier island
presenting the best in family oriented outdoor recreational
activities. St. George Island offers nature at its very BEST! Sea,
sun, fun, fishing, birding, biking, hiking, boating, shopping or
dining. The island is located approximately 350 miles from Atlanta
and 70 miles west of Tallahassee. The East End of the Island has a
beautiful State Park. The center of the island houses shops and
restaurants. Access the island via a new 5 mile long bridge.
THE PLANTATION
Located on the West end of the island is the Plantation, a private
gated community offering 24 hour security. This covenant protected
community offers beautiful single family homes on 1/2 to 1 acre lots

beauty of the area. A clubhouse, community pool, and tennis courts

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This beautiful Gulf View Mediterranean style custom home was
completed in 2002. After visiting the island for several years and
renting many different properties we wanted to build a house that
would provide our guest with relaxation, comfort and security. The
house is located on a 2nd tier lot with a Gulf View only 300 steps
away (easy 2-3 minute walk) to the beach. One block to the tennis
courts.
This home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. The main master on
the lower level has a king bed, easy chair, CABLE TV with DVD/VCR

vanities, 2 person Jacuzzi, large tiled shower and walk in closet.
The bedroom has a porch that overlooks the pool.
The 2 other bedrooms on this level are the "Fish" bedroom and
the "Lighthouse" bedroom. The Fish bedroom was designed with
children in mind, with the bright primary colors, fish mobile, art
and rugs. The room has 1 twin bed,& a triple bunk, a TV,DVD,VCR,Sony

Fish theme. Nightlights are provided for your safety and security.

A recent visitor wrote, "This is the best vacation we've ever had!
The house was beautifully decorated with everything we needed.
Access to the beach was easy and the kids loved the pool. We can't
wait to come back next year."
FAQ;
How far is the house from the beach?
I'm on the beach within 2-3 minutes of leaving the house. It is the
distance of 2 lots in front of the property. I'm guessing 300 steps?
How do I get to the beach?
Access is easy throughout the Plantation as boardwalks are provided
about every 1000ft. Walk the "T" street one lot in front of the
house. Boardwalk located next to Scarborough Fair and C-haven (see
the wooden boardwalk between the beachfront houses, walk on the
boardwalk and you are on the beach!) There is a bike/walking path
that runs parallel to the beach front homes and provides beach
access about the distance of every 5th house.
Can you see the ocean? The rental management company list our home
as "Gulf View". We are the 3rd house from the water. There is a view
of the gulf between our neighbors houses. Having the large lots
helps. You can see the Gulf, but you can not see the sandy beach.
What airports serve St. George?
You are about an equal distance to Panama City and Tallahassee.
There are transportation companies that provide a shuttle to either
airport. It is approximately 70 miles and about an hour and a half
drive in either direction.
How do we access the island?
A 5 mile long bridge brings you from the mainland at Eastpoint to
the island. The bridge does not have a toll.
The house sleeps 12, can you make an exception for a couple of more
children? I'm sorry but we must enforce the maximum occupancy of 12
in accordance with the State Fire Marshall's Office.
What's the weather like?
The following are average HIGHS: Jan-62, Feb-65, March-69, April-75,
May-81, June-83, July-86, Aug-87, Sept-86, Oct-81, Nov-73, Dec-70.
