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 
providing low density, with great effort to protect the natural 
beauty of the area. A clubhouse, community pool, and tennis courts 
are available for use. The Plantation provides easy beach access 
with numerous boardwalks to the beach throughout the community. 
Hiking and biking trails are also available. Paved roads. "The Cut" 
located on the west end of the island within the Plantation is noted 
for great fishing is only accessible to owners and guest.

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 
and a luxurious master bath featuring separate marble his and her 
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 
Playstation One, and family appropriate selection of videos for your 
viewing pleasure. The Lighthouse bedroom is a large bedroom with 
Lighthouse art, models, and wall hangings. A corner nook with an 
arched window and comfortable chair is ready for you to curl up with 
your favorite book! The room has a queen bed, TV, private porch, and 
large closet. These bedrooms share a hall bath that continues the 
Fish theme. Nightlights are provided for your safety and security.

The upper level has the Living Room, Dining Room, Reading 
Nook, Powder Room and additional Master bedroom. This master is 
conveniently located off the kitchen for the early riser who needs 
their morning coffee! This master has a "Garden" theme with a bay 
window that has a gulf view, queen bed, private porch and private 
full bath (no TV).

The living area is spacious with a 2 queen sofas (one sleeper), love

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.

We are responsible college students. Will you rent to us?
Sorry to disappoint. Our contract with the rental agency 
specifically prohibits renting to vacationing college students. Must 
be 25 or older to rent. The area is very family friendly.
