About this property

Bay Front!!! Tropical Hidden Oasis!privacy with DOCK MultipleDecks!Great sunsets

Welcome to Outtabanks - a Bay Front getaway known for its views, decks, fishing, nature and access to the bay! Outtabanks is a private outdoor oasis, hidden away from it all. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home, sleeps 4 with newly expanded decks. Access to the beach is only a 10 min walk.

Inside the home, you will see the home's modest ocean inspired décor - with plenty of natural wood, tile & stone. Enjoy plush, comfy seating in the living room with a new 55” Smart TV with Direct T.V. , & FREE Wi-Fi. If you are a cook, you will enjoy this cook's kitchen with plenty of counter space! You can dine in a breakfast nook or in a dining area next to the kitchen. An extra large walk-in pantry and a separate laundry room round-out the kitchen area.

The romantic master bedroom is a unique open concept with a custom stone and glass shower. Shiplap accent walls, with a lounging sofa, comfy chair with ottoman from where you can watch TV. The master bedroom opens up to one of the new beautiful decks complete with an outside hot shower! The 2nd bedroom features two twin beds, and a double dresser with an adjoining bath room.

All decks have recently been renovated and expanded so you can get a commanding view of your surroundings. Upper decks let out from the living room and master bedroom. Perched in the treetops, the upper decks offer gorgeous views of Apalachicola Bay. Peak over to see the lush plants below. This home is surrounded by enchanted potted plants and native greenery. The lower deck is the ultimate hang-out spot and will let you get up-close and personal with surrounding plants and animals. Decks offer plenty of outdoor seating including chairs, table settings and even a screened in porch.

If you love to fish, this property is for you. A private dock allows you to fish directly into Apalachicola Bay. Redfish, speckled trout and flounder have all been caught on hooks while mullet have been caught with a throw net directly from Outtabank’s dock. Bench seating and a fish cleaning station with running water round out your private dock. The dock is designed so you can easily hand-launch a kayak or small boat at any tide-level. With kayaks you can gain access to the adjacent “All-Tides-Cove” or make a day trip to Nick’s Hole.
While seated at the dock you will be surrounded by panoramic views of the ‘Last Great Bay”. In addition, this property is located in close proximity to some of the best known fishing spots on the Island, including Bob Sikes Cut. Again the beach is an easy 10 min walk away for surf-fishing in the Gulf.

Outtabanks is truly a birders paradise and the “show” is all around you. Guests hardly need binoculars to witness a wide range of seabirds, ducks, inland birds and birds of prey - including osprey and bald eagles. The resident eagles have successfully raised at least two families in the nest across the canal.

It is worth noting that this is not a new fancy home and represents old Florida. Wildlife of all kinds will be seen visiting the property - including raccoons, opossums, lizards and sometimes snakes - so please watch your step. Some parts of Florida are still “untamed” - we like it that way and hope you do too.

Guests must bring their own hand-launchable boats. (no motor boats allowed - by water or trailers) The canoes and kayaks on the property are privately owned. When renting this home, you will receive a discount on all rentals at Jolly Roger Beach Shop. The shop rents golf carts, kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, beach chairs and specialize in fishing and other boating excursions. FREE deliver & pick up directly to Outtabanks.

We ask that you limit your parties to 4 or less and sorry no pets.

We invite you to stay at this one-of-a-kind, nature lover's getaway on beautiful St. George Island. If you truly want to experience why people come to the island - this home says it all - privacy, beauty and nature. Many people will return to this home for the fantastic sunsets alone.

BayTime is the Best Time
This property suits my husband and I just fine. It is just enough house for us and another couple to invite as guests. It is well accomodated and quiet. We are avid paddlers and using the dock was very easy, even sitting there after paddling for a breezy happy hour.

25th Anniversary
We enjoyed our stay tremendously! We fished from the dock in the morning, walked to the beach in the afternoon. The house and location was perfect. Cozy and secluded! Beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked. Sunset view was immaculate! I hope to make it back!

Fun vacay
We enjoyed our stay at Outtabanks. We fished from the dock, went to the beach, rode bikes and relaxed. The house is a quirky, old Florida style, but we liked it. Feedback for owner- new brew style coffee pot is needed, that one is very slow.

Family Adventure A++
My family and I have been coming to SGI for a decade, and this stay was one for the books. We were able to kayak and see tons of wildlife from the dock. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away and, unlike points further up and down the beach, we had the sand and surf to ourselves during the middle of June. The house is well-appointed, though as some have said, wi-fi is spotty...but it's vacation, so put your phones down. As of June 2022, the oven is waiting a replacement heating element so no cookies in the oven...so go to Weber's Donuts instead (get there before they open). 15% discount at Jolly Roger Beach Outfitters was nice for the kayaks and other needs throughout the week (again as of June 2022). Overall, this 'old Florida" house is a throwback, but you're not really giving up much for what should be a relaxing, low-pressure vacation anyway.
