Studio Sea: Affordable, Private Pool, 1 Block to Beach, Pets Welcome, Sleeps 10
Just a short walk to the beach, Studio Sea is a renovated, four-bedroom Florida beach cottage. A king bedroom and a twin bedroom are on the upper level. A large king bedroom and XL-twin over queen bunk bedroom, and bath are on the lower level with a separate entrance, making it perfect for two families or couples. These two floors are connected via an exterior staircase.
Cool off in the pool, worship the sun from the third floor deck, or sit on the porch with family and friends. Let the morning greet you in the sunny living area, which includes an open concept kitchen, dining and living space.
Recently a dining space was added on the third floor deck. Dine under the stars and by fairy light.
Like much of St. George Island, Studio Sea is pet friendly.
During the day take advantage of all available activities on St. George Island or shop in Apalachicola. "Dr. Beach" rates the beaches of St. George Island as one of the top five beaches in the United States. In the evening, have dinner at one of the many restaurants on the island and in Apalachicola, where you will find some of the best seafood in the United States.
Bring your bike or rent one on the island. Studio Sea is right across the street from the island bike path. The cottage is just a short bike ride to shops, markets, restaurants and fresh seafood.
Great fishing is available from the beach, the pier, or at the beautiful state park on the east end of the Island. A number of fishing charters are available in the area; ask about our favorite charter captain.

Great location close to the beach. It was very warm, so the private pool was nice. Comfortable space and the owner was very responsive. We would recommend to others or stay there again if we vacation on SGI again.
We loved everything about this house, host, and location! This is a perfect place to stay with two families and the location was ideal for walking back and forth to the beach! The host was amazing as he answered any questions we had promptly and was very helpful before, during and after our stay. We would stay here again and highly recommend!
All the comforts of home and a great location! Clean and has everything you need. Loved the pool and patio! Owner was super nice and helpful. Couldn't ask for more! Will definitely be back!
Great location on island considering it was not beach front. Easy and quick walk to public beach access. Beach was not crowded in that area either. Host was very responsive to questions.
This house was terrific one block across from public beach access with a boardwalk. Beds were comfy every thing was super clean. Enjoyed the pool and sundeck. Best of all got to bring my dog! Will be back
This was our third year at Studio Sea and we have already booked for a fourth. The location is perfect for a quick walk to the beach yet off the busier main road. The private pool is perfect. The interior is spacious and the separate living areas with private entrances are perfect for a small family or couples desiring to stay at the same location but still have separate personal space. The decks offer wonderful views of the ocean. Kitchen and living area in the upstairs unit provide are spacious for family dinners and game nights!
Studio by the Sea was the perfect place for our family. This was our first time visiting St. George’s Island and we are now looking forward to many more trips in the future. Beach just a short walk away, our kids loved the pool, & star gazing on the top deck was fantastic! Thanks David for sharing your home!
Loved the cottage, pool, location and amenities of this home away from home. From the time we arrived the peaceful feel was amazing. Across the street one block is a boardwalk that is direct beach access. Great food and live music witnin a mile or so and the Island has so much to offer! Historical Apalachicola is 10 minutes away. Perfect! Thank you for sharing your beach home.
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at Studio Sea. We love it so much, we’ve already booked again for next year. The property is well kept, nicely furnished and clean. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The host, David Mann, is just a moments call away and is super responsive and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome.
Loved everything about the house and location. The separate living quarters gave the teenagers privacy and us some peace and quiet! LOL. Will definitely book again. The night time swimming with the cool pool lights were a big hit!
Amazing host! Easy to communicate with and answers questions quickly. Was out of town and still had his family check in with us to make sure it was all ok! Super clean, lots of room and there were 10 of us! 5 min walk to the beach so very easy to get back and forth. Perfect week! Thank you!
This has been my family's 4th year coming to Saint George Island and to this house. It is absolutely perfect for a family of 5 and 2 dogs. The house is clean David is very responsive. Are Ac went out when we got there (one of the hottest days saint george has seen in a while) and David was right on it and got it fixed very quickly. One thing i love is that the house is 1 block from the beach. We will definitely be back again next year. Thank you again David for letting us rent your beach house for the week!!
Our stay at Studio Sea was perfect! The house was just as described. It was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. My husband and I were traveling with my brother-in-law, and having the "apartment" on the ground floor was good for us. The house had everything we could have possibly needed with a fully stocked kitchen; plenty of dishes, glasses, pots, and pans. There are also lots of games and puzzles if you have any rainy days. We only had one. The pool is awesome! I spent a lot of time in and around it. There is always a sunny spot! The porch and rooftop deck are the perfect places to relax and enjoy listening to the birds sing and the waves smack the sand. The house is located a block (and 2 roads) away from the beach at an access point with no steps (I know this is important if you are taking a cart to the beach). David, the owner, is very easy to work with and is very attentive to anything you might need or if you have any questions. We really enjoyed our week at Studio Sea and hope to return in the future!
We enjoyed our stay at Studio Sea. We might even book again 😊 The host was an excellent communicator and answered all questions I had prior. I will say the top floor flooring was in need of a deep cleaning, but it’s summer so I’m sure finding the time is hard. The pool was so nice…the pool lounge chairs need to be replaced bad though(they’re like splitting). But it was so hot we stayed in the pool anyways. It does have 2 separate living quarters. 1 family can stay upstairs and the second down. And they ONLY connect from the outside. So keep that in mind if you book for yourself and kids. The washing machine and dryer’s downstairs, which wasn’t an issue for us, but might be for some. Quiet neighbors who I believe live there year round. All in all it was great vacation and a lovely place. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking!
Owner was great with communication and the house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. Definitely will stay here again on our yearly trip to St George
This place was perfect for my family and 2 dogs. This was our first first time at St. George Island and we will definitely be back and stay here again.
This house is perfect for a beach getaway. This house is so very close to the beach!! David is an awesome communicator!! Anything you need he is a phone call away. Don't sleep on this one!!!
Easy to rent, exactly as advertised! Location is perfect - we had easy walks to the beach, easy drive into the middle of the island for groceries and dining out.
Glad to find this place, we'll try to book it again when we return :-)
We loved the relaxed vibe of this property. The pool and roof view were great fun. The location was perfect with a short walk to the beach and the bike trail right there.
