Black Skimmer: Where Barefoot Luxury Meets the Gulf Perched along the sugar-white shores of St. George Island, Black Skimmer is a coastal classic reimagined for laid-back luxury. This three-bedroom, two-bath beachfront home effortlessly blends relaxed comfort with bright, modern updates—making it the perfect setting for memory-making with friends, family, and even your (small) four-legged companion. Step inside to find a light-soaked great room with soaring blonde tongue-and-groove ceilings, new coastal furnishings, and a panoramic wall of windows that frame endless Gulf views. The heart of the home flows seamlessly to a screened porch dotted with Adirondack chairs, where ocean breezes and sunset toasts come standard. The primary king suite on the east side offers a private ensuite with a walk-in shower, while the west wing features a second king bedroom that shares a hallway bathroom with a tub/shower combo with the adjacent queen + bunk room—perfect for kids or cousins who whisper late into the night. A brand-new boardwalk leads you straight to the sand, and thoughtful updates throughout—including new appliances, furnishings, and fresh décor—make every stay feel special. Need extra convenience? An elevator is available for a small fee, and pets under 35 lbs are welcome with prior approval. Black Skimmer sleeps 8, welcomes your toes in the sand, and invites you to settle into island time—just the way St. George intended.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was quiet elegance and comfort. We brought my father who is just finishing cancer treatment. The elevator made it so simple for him. The covered porches allowed him to sit in comfort if the weather was too warm. The two king bed rooms were so comfortable and spacious. The kids room was perfect. There was not one thing the house did not have that we could have needed. We have vacationed on St George on and off for 30 years and Black Skimmer felt like home. Will absolutely be booking every year. ##### Merilynn W.
