Across Street From Beach, Private Swimming Pool, Pet Friendly!

This beach vacation home is pet-friendly, so bring the whole crew!

Beach Shack is located in the popular Gulf Beaches neighborhood, close to local shops, restaurants, nightlife, the St. George Lighthouse Museum and playground, fishing pier, and the multi-use path. Spend your days soaking up the sun, splashing in the surf and searching for seashells, exploring the Island by paddle board, or just relaxing by the private sparking pool with a good book and a refreshing beverage.

This property puts the best of St. George Island within easy reach. Just across the bridge are Eastpoint’s seafood markets and craft brewery, and the charming shops, eateries, and galleries of quaint and historic Apalachicola are just 25 minutes by car.

We LOVED it !

This place is our number 1 so far ! Very close to the beach and pool is clean. Very pretty inside. I loved huge kitchen. Bathrooms are clean and all of appliances are functional and not old ! Only con about the area (which is nothing to do with the house we stayed) is … there is a crazy local couple. We ran into them at beach one day. They like to argue with visitors (not just us but other people at beach) and acted like they own whole beach… we ended up speaking with police about them. Please watch out for locals.

Perfect Little Spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed at Beach Shack for a month Mid-Jan - Mid Feb 2024. It's really one of the better rentals I've stayed at in SGI (and I've been coming for 30 years). It's the perfect size for two couples and kids. Very clean, well appointed. Nice view for a 1st tier property (house across the road is small). One of those places I really wanted to keep a secret!

Great way to spend a week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Beach Shack was just as described. The beach was just steps away. A turtle nest was just steps way! The porch was a great place to cool off (due to the fantastic breeze) and listen/watch the waves. I've never stayed anywhere that was so well stocked with anything & everything you need. However, be sure to bring extra toilet paper & paper towels. The pool made the hot days much more relaxing. The accommodations were clean. The staff was VERY helpful getting us into the house (written instructions were not correct/clear) & answered all our questions.

Fun at the Beach (Shack)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental home was conveniently located across from a private path to the beach It was an easy walk and provided a gathering/storage location for beach gear for our multiple family vacation. The pool was a plus and really enjoyed by the children. The master bedroom was a good size. The other two bedrooms are small and did not have much room for suitcases. We would stay here again. We did see some roaches but someone was sent to spray once notified. As it was a pet friendly home a fur ball was pulled out from under the couch when a child retrieved a toy that was theirs. We did not bring a pet.

Definitely not a shack 😮

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is our new favorite place to stay on the island. It was perfectly set up for our family of five. It’s roomy and bright and has we very comfort of home. The location is spectacular with a short walk across a quiet street to the beach. We used the beach gear credits to rent bikes. The bike path is close and a short ride to the lighthouse and more importantly to the kids... the candy store. The pool was perfect as well. We paid the extra to have it heated and it was worth every cent. Any questions I had were answered quicky by the staff at Gulf Coast. They were great to work worth. We would definitely stay here again and ehold heartedly recommend it.
