The good - the house was clean and over-all ok for the money.

The bad - the house is old, and the kitchen is poorly furnished. Barely enough plates and silver to feed a family of 5. Don't even think about cooking anything. In just two days we have had the plumber out twice. It is a significant walk to the beach. Paint is peeling off the walls in the master bedroom from water damage. You have to stand on the couch in the den to turn on and off the den light. There are all kinds of issues with light switches that control nothing. Finally, you only get one towel and wash cloth per person. That's ok if you like washing. The machine is old, noisy, and small. I would likely stay here again, but my expectations would be much lower. I would also pack pots and pans, silverware, and towels.

My wife, our pups, and I loved Advantage Point. It was the perfect size and price for a 1-week get-away to St. George Island. Close to the beach, Close to the bike/walking path. And just far enough away from the heart of St. George to keep things quiet and peaceful. The fully equipped kitchen made it a breeze for my wife to whip up wonderful gourmet meals with all the local seafood. This was our first time to St. George and the rental agents at Fickling were the best. They were more than helpful answering all our questions, and taking all the worry out of renting a home we hadn't seen in person. Lots of great restaurants in Apalachicola...we highly recommend the Owl Cafe for fine dining and the Hole in the Wall for the freshest oysters and tastiest chowders we had the whole week.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, pet-friendly, romantic getaway

I, We, love this place! Came here to celebrate my youngest daughter’s 30th birthday - by rest and relaxation. Perfect!
Hope to bring the rest of the family sometime.
