NEW TO ST. GEORGE ISLAND VACATIONS!
Nestled among the towering pines of St. George Plantation, this unique coastal retreat offers a true bird s-eye view of the Plantation s lush, private woodlands. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the home features over 40 windows and five sets of double doors, creating a light-filled sanctuary where guests often spot great horned owls, great blue herons, osprey, and even bald eagles perched in the surrounding trees.
Step inside and unwind beneath soaring 25-foot vaulted ceilings in the spacious open-concept living area. The thoughtfully designed floor plan combines the kitchen, dining, and living spaces into one inviting gathering place, perfect for family vacations and reconnecting with loved ones. Tastefully decorated and exceptionally comfortable, the home offers a peaceful retreat after days spent exploring the island.
Conveniently located near the front of the Plantation, the home is just a short stroll along a designated path to the beach without crossing a single street. Guests enjoy exclusive access to St. George Plantation s private beaches, stretching from the water s edge to the vegetation line, providing uncrowded shoreline and breathtaking Gulf views.
Beyond the beach, Plantation amenities include swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, nature trails, fishing piers at Nick s Hole, a kayak launch, and miles of scenic bike paths winding through the pines. Whether you re shelling along the shore, fishing in the Gulf or bay, paddleboarding, kayaking, biking, or simply relaxing with a good book while listening to the waves and seabirds, you ll find endless opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of St. George Island.
The home s ground level offers covered parking, a park-style charcoal grill, picnic table, and an enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.
The main floor features a spacious open kitchen, dining area, and living room, along with an enclosed bedroom, full bathroom with walk-in shower, and a convenient washer and dryer closet. The living room includes a large Smart TV, DVD player with an extensive movie library, and premium YouTube TV streaming access. Guests consistently praise the exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and everything needed to prepare the area s fresh local seafood, including shrimp, oysters, and fish.
Upstairs, two loft-style bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for additional guests. One loft features a queen bed, while the second includes two twin beds. These bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination.
With three separate deck areas, you'll have plenty of space to enjoy the island s spectacular scenery. Start your mornings watching the sun rise over the Gulf and end your evenings with breathtaking sunsets over the bay.
Come experience the tranquility of St. George Plantation, where unspoiled beaches, abundant wildlife, and the gentle rhythms of island life create the perfect setting for your next coastal getaway.
