About this property

UPDATED for 2025! Completely updated bedrooms with multiple ROKU smart panels for your comfort and enjoyment! New dining room table with plenty of room and room for 2 at the kitchen breakfast bar. New polywood loungers off the back deck for sunning or just reading your favorite book while the kiddos can have a snack at the picnic table. Comfortable rockers on the inviting front porch for afternoon beverages in peace and quiet. Back deck has seating for several to watch sunsets and that perfect cocktail or evening meal! Master bedroom has new walk in shower and a soaking tub to die for! If you've stayed before you must come back - if you've never stayed we welcome the opportunity to host you at Rosemary!


Welcome to Rosemary! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our island beach house with you and your family!

This beautiful, comfortable home is fully equipped and well maintained in a quiet residential area of the island. There are no homes on either side! You can walk to the beach access at the end of 11th Street (5 minute walk) or to a county owned bay shore at the end of the street! This state-owned section of Apalachicola Bay is great for watching sunsets, fishing or launching the kayaks provided by Rosemary!


Enjoy the large, furnished, whimsically decorated outdoor living area under the house! Take in the fresh air within the lush, private, gated and fenced yard while relaxing and grilling! There's even a room to park your golf cart for those evening cruises around the back streets of the island! There is plenty of parking for long vehicles as well.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a cook could want, whether you are preparing a gourmet meal for a large family, or simply warming up left-overs.

The master bedroom, Pelican Point, offers a king sized bed with Consumer Choice top rated Doctor's Choice Denver Mattress with Euro top. You will feel like you are sleeping in a coastal cloud. There is a large adjoining bathroom with both a stand up shower and a large soaking tub. The second bedroom, Mermaids Reef, has two twin beds with memory foam mattresses, the third bedroom, Blue Lagoon, has a full size, medium firm, Purple mattress and the fourth bedroom, Starfish Cove, contains a firm queen Sealy mattress. Even Goldilocks has a great nights sleep at Rosemary. The fourth bedroom opens out onto a private deck with steps down to the outdoor living area!


There is plenty of outdoor living spaces for sitting, rocking, gliding and relaxing while enjoying the gentle island breeze. The private yard is fenced in so your furry beach buddies can explore. There is a kids club under the stairs and outdoor seating just their size.


Your island retreat includes free wi-fi, multiple Roku televisions, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. There is also a Keurig coffee maker, but be sure to bring your favorite pods! We are pet friendly, and limit to two medium sized dogs only. Pet fee is $100 per pet, limit 2 unless permission from homeowner is obtained.

*****Early check-in is NOT available in high season months (March, June and July). Mid season and Low seasons early check in is available if scheduling permits please be sure to ask a week before your arrival to make sure it can be arranged. The fee is $100 for a 2pm arrival no exceptions.

Great place to stay at the beach

My family and I had a great time staying at Rosemary. The access to kayaks was a great addition. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all, and I loved that it was in the woods. It gives it a treehouse feel. Overall, we had a great time.

Festival

Great house! We were on SGI for the Chili Festival and the house offered plenty of room for everyone. We also enjoyed not having neighbors on top of us. It was a short walk to the Gulf and the bay. Everyone enjoyed sitting under the house in the mornings and afternoons.Great place for a group of friends to hangout for a long weekend!

Wonderful Family Vacation

We come to St George every year. This was our first stay at the Rosemary. We were thrilled to have a fenced in yard for our pups! They enjoyed having freedom to explore and we enjoyed being able to let them out without having to walk them each time. The house was clean and convenient. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will difinitely be back and hope to book the Rosemary again!

Great spot. Large house with plenty of room. A little dated but you can clearly tell they are slowly trying to update. Neighbor was super friendly. Yard could use a little TLC but not so bad that we wouldn't stay again.

Location, Location & Everything You Need

My wife and I stayed with our 2 small dogs and a couple of friends. The house was a short walk to both the beach and the bay in either direction, just a few minutes each way. We couldn’t have asked for better location. The fully fenced yard was fantastic for the pups and is hard to find in many beach areas. The house had everything we could’ve possibly needed. As with other older homes we’ve stayed at on the island, some remodeling and touch-up work is needed and a deep clean may be beneficial, but we had a great time and this house was perfect for our needs! Highly recommend.

Tranquility plus

This is a very nice property that is close to the water in both directions. If you like to kayak, there are two but you best have a kayak carrier if you choose to use them. The kitchen is fairly well furbished however, bring your own sponge/dish rag and possibly your own bottle of Dawn. There is a good washing machine and dryer in the kitchen but bring your own detergent/softener. Bathrooms are good with very nice towels; mgmt supplies hotel bars of soap and shower gel. If you are fussy about your toilet paper, bring your own. TV and Internet works really well. Beds are magnificent and cozy to sleep in. This place makes it easy to have a very nice vacation on St. George Island.

Stay at 204 Bradford, St George

Property not cleaned, no toilet tissue, soap etc. Property manager found someone to clean Thursday night and left around 9:30 pm, our check in was about 4:30 Thursday. We washed the sheets and towels due to the fact the cleaners would have been there for several more hours. I was told by the Property manager to make things right one night would be refunded and also the cleaning fee, also reaffirmed Friday when he dropped off wash cloths. He said it would be refunded through VRBO. Needless to say it was a very disappointing experience!

Nice stay!

Arrival was distressing...after 10 hours in the car we arrived to find the house had not been cleaned, there were no linens, etc. I contacted the property manager (Sam) who apologized and arrived within the hour to clean and sanitize and make beds, then returned the following day with extra linens and supplies. Location is great; loved the fenced yard for our dogs and the easy access to both beach and bay. Kitchen is well equipped. Mattresses are brand new! The ROKU TV didn't work because we couldn't get the WiFi to work, but we didn't report it (because frankly we didn't care.) Sam was informed by text as we checked out. In spite of the rocky start we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Good value.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Julian

Host profile image
I inherited my sense of Adventure from my mother. Ever since she was 5 she wanted to travel the world. I was her travel buddy. Vacationing, adventure and exploration are a sacred part of life for me. To have a place I can offer for others to do the same is an honor!

Why they chose this property

I have always loved the beach and especially island culture. Crossing over from the mainland into a world surrounded by sand and water, adorned with twinkling lights and sea creatures that are all being watched over by a lighthouse is magical, mystical, surreal and yet very real. St George Island has all the best the beach has to offer without the crowds. Even during the peak week of July 4th we can have our own space on the beach. Rosemary has a vibe we felt immediately when we visited the first time. After looking at many houses, nothing gave the same feeling Rosemary did. There is a natural flow between inside and outside, and all the shaded living space downstairs. You have plenty of options to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings while being lulled by the sounds of the waves of the Gulf of Mexico.

What makes this property unique

In looking at properties on St George Island we were only interested in beach front. Upon arrival at Rosemary we were overcome with a feeling of peace. The seclusion from other properties and the gentle island breeze was the escape we were looking for. The surrounding trees and outdoor areas give ample shade from the sun. With just a short to beach and bay and a close bike ride to main attractions Rosemary is the ideal location for our family island getaway.
