About this property

On the water. Private Pool. Private Boat Ramp. Dock. Pets. Let's Fish! Sleeps 12

This. House. Rocks. You won't find many island rental properties on the water with a PRIVATE boat ramp in the back yard (meaning, no one can use it but YOU). Our home has a PRIVATE pool, fish cleaning station, plenty of parking for trucks, trailers... and so close to the beach, you can hear the waves crashing from one of the five decks or while lounging by the pool... Our renovated sun deck should be available very soon!

Designed with fun in mind, Fishin' Tradition is one of a kind!

The top floor's large, open design is spacious enough for the whole family to gather, with lots of room for food and fun and enough deck space to soak up the sun! The huge kitchen is a great gathering spot with an oversized island and big windows offering lots of natural light (the sun, not the beer).

The comfy living room furniture and a large L-shaped sofa is relaxing after a fun day. The sofa is also a sleeper.

The three Master Suites each have their own full, private bathroom. Each suite has double sliding glass doors that open to one of four full-length porches. Two of the bedrooms have king sized beds, one bedroom has a very comfy queen sized bed, and the fourth bedroom offers four twin sized beds (two bunk beds). There is also a queen sized sleeper sofa on the upper level.

Two of the bedrooms overlook the beautiful bayside canal and two open to the refreshing pool on the ground level below. The wooden, custom built staircase connects the sleeping area on the first floor to the open air living room and kitchen on the top floor. And your vacation home has FREE WiFi, Roku Smart TVs in every bedroom and Tivo+ cable in the main living area.

Outside, you will find a dock that spans the full length of the property, complete with an outdoor sink for cleaning your catch, a private boat ramp to launch boats, jet skis, kayaks and other water toys -- and lots of room for grilling up your groceries.

Cook your meals on the downstairs patio area on the 6 burner gas grill or the Weber charcoal grill. You might even catch some free entertainment if the dolphin are playing in the canal below...

Initial entry to the home is accessible via keyless entry doors from the 2nd and 3rd floor. Prior to your arrival, the system will generate an easy to remember code, so there are no keys to keep up with!

This home was recently purchased by our local family, native to this island and area since the year 1900 — with four of seven generations still living here today. We've owned properties on St. George Island since the early 1970's, and rented them out to many fine folks and friends for over thirty years. So, we're excited to continue that rendition, through our new home, "FISHIN' TRADITION".

Great Location!
Our family was in the area on a duck hunting trip. The location of the home and the dock were perfect for our trip. The beach was just a short walk. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We've owned properties on St. George Island since the early 1970's, and rented them out to many fine folks for over thirty years before they were regrettably sold. So, we're excited to continue that rendition, through our new home, "FISHIN' TRADITION".

LET'S TALK CANCELLATIONS... A full, 100% refund will be given if cancellation is made 2 weeks prior to your check-in date. Cancellations made 7 days prior to your check in date will receive a 50% refund. And to save us all from any headaches, we encourage our guests to purchase trip insurance, which is very reasonably priced compared to any of us losing our hard-earned money.

Travel Tip: If you choose to bypass booking through a service or online, or find you're unable to add travel insurance after making the reservation, coverage can still be independently purchased for your trip, within a reasonable timeframe. I'm happy to suggest options. The peace of mind is priceless, especially during Florida's unpredictable hurricane season.

We look forward to hosting you!

What makes this property unique

BRING THE BOAT -- We'll keep ya afloat! Our property hosts one of the few private boat ramps on the island, which is all yours when you rent with us! No one else is permitted to use this treasured amenity while you're a guest in our vacation home -- it's all yours! The adjacent dock spans the entire waterfront, and includes a fish cleaning table with fresh water and a boat house with a sun deck*.

And don't worry, we're not too far away so we can be available to handle any issues that may arise during your stay, and you will have our direct number to call 24/7.

We often offer package deals with weekly reservations, so check out ISLAND CHARTERS Fishing and Guide Service for fishing, sightseeing and much more! Ask about the 2023 specials...

We look forward to hosting your group and making your vacation your most memorable yet!

*The boat house sun deck is being renovated, but should be available, depending on when you book your reservation.
