My wife and I had a great stay at Howl at the Sea! The house was perfect, and had everything we needed. It was great to have such a short, easy walk to the beach. Our little pup really enjoyed having a nice backyard to go outside and explore. Wonderful trip and will book again when we need a wonderful place for just the two of us.

This was the perfect house for myself and my beagle. The yard was bigger than my own yard and she loved being able to explore. The house was a great size and everything we needed.

My brother and I had the pleasure of spending 4 nights in this wonderful home. The outdoor shower was ideal for cleaning up after each day of fishing. So many amenities also. There was a large backyard filled with activities for small kids, not us but need to bring the grandkids here sometime! Walking distance to beach and everything you could possibly need. I asked the owners several times during our stay and got an immediate response. Can’t say enough things about the owners! Hopefully we’ll be back sometime soon.

We rented the house for a beach wedding we were attending. The size of the house and the updates were great. We especially appreciated the water filter in the kitchen and on the shower. We felt clean after showering, not like we showered in the ocean. It is the little things that make a stay enjoyable. The kitchen was well appointed. I cooked every night and had everything I needed. We loved the backyard. It was huge for a beach house. Our dogs had a blast running around. And I loved all the plants. If we come back to SGI, we would rent this house again.

Close to beach with enclosed backyard

Large enclosed backyard was a major plus for our dogs. Loved the rooftop deck for early morning coffee. Dog couch protectors were placed on already. Very soft towels. Also the location was perfect. It was away from the “downtown” area which was perfect for us. We loved how the next group of people on the beach were soooo far away. It was a private feel to it. Also love how there aren’t high rises on the island. Loved how close it was to the beach.

Great long weekend

My wife, our adult son and I (plus 2 dogs) very much enjoyed our recent stay at Howl at the Sea. It is a neat old school Florida beach house that has been updated beautifully. The owners (Chuck and Christina) have thought of everything you could need and are very responsive. The outside fenced area is a unique on SGI and great for dogs. We especially liked the screened back porch for shade in the day and the upstairs deck/seating area for coffee in the morning and relaxing in the cool of the evening. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing!

This is the perfect beach house! The house was decorated beautifully and immaculate, but my favorite thing was the back yard. It was like a private little paradise with comfortable seating, a hammock, ping pong table and corn hole. You can walk or bike to everything. Cant wait to stay here again!

Perfect

By far my favorite host and house on St. George. Very cozy and dog friendly house with a great fenced backyard, screened back porch and more TVs than you can shake a stick at. Quick walk to the beach and the host was incredibly great to deal with. Will definitely be checking if this spot is available the next time I visit.

Peaceful Beach Escape

Howl at the Sea was the perfect little beach getaway! We knew, just as soon as we arrived, we’d want to book again in the future. As if the backyard wasn’t amazing enough, the rest of the house was cute & cozy, too. Chuck & Christina seriously thought of everything. The best part was, though, we got to bring our dog and she was in absolute heaven! Would totally recommend this place!

What a fantastic weekend trip!! The home was absolutely amazing!! From the inside/out everything was perfect. We enjoyed our stay so much that we’re already looking to book another stay.

Cozy and Quaint

Our stay at Howl at the Sea was delightful. The place was clean and so attentively decorated. You can tell the hosts put a lot of time and love into the place. Speaking of the hosts, they were wonderful. They made it easy for us to check in and out. They were always kind and responded quickly to all of our questions. Great water pressure in the shower. The outside space was also really great.

Above and Beyond

Although the photos were lovely, they did not do this house justice. Deceptively small by street view, we had TONS of room, even when we had 3 additional family members spend the night. The owners were AMAZING to work with and extremely helpful and accommodating. We will absolutely be back to Howl at ghe Moon, as will my daughter and her friends and family. Thank you Howell family for a wonderful vacation home!!!

Howling Great Time

Chuck and Christina has a great little place on SGI for family and friends(furry ones too). The property can sleep up to 8 with 2 bedrooms. Great amenities for family fun indoors and outdoors. Has ample of indoor space with 4 tvs, tons of board games, and a super cool spacious fenced in beach oriented backyard. Outside one can sit and watch tv in the fan cooled outdoor screen in patio, tan it up upstairs on the sun patio and/or beach it up in their spacious sand filled backyard where you can grill, play beach games, hang out by fire pit, chill out under the umbrella tables or take a nap in the hammock under the shady palm trees. Just a 2 minute walk to the ocean, this beach retreat will have you “howling” to return again soon. Thanks C&C for your communication before, during and after our stay. When we return again to SGI, we will definitely stay again at Howl at the Sea.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Howell

Host profile image
My husband and I found this little gem at the SGI Chili Cookoff 2022. When we walked by and saw the for sale sign in the over grown yard, we knew this house was meant to be ours. It was in pretty bad disrepair but we just knew that we were meant to bring one of SGI's original homes back to it's initial glory. 2 months later we drove down for our closing with our 2 dogs and a mini U-Haul to get started on our little fixer upper.

But....there was a bad wreck on Highway 98 and traffic wasn't moving and according to the local sheriff, it wasn't going to move for at least another hour. We were in a pinch to get to the closing agency by 4pm. We were determined to make it to closing because if we didn't close that day, interest rates were going up. So, the sheriff told us about another route through Tate's Hell forest. Oh and did I mention it was raining and Tate's Hell is dirt roads with no road signs and no cell service so if our GPS went out, we would be, well, lost in Hell. It was a rather scary drive on thin roads with large trucks flying by and kicking up all kinds of dust, making it even harder to see. Luckily, we made it, late, but we made it and our wonderful agent waited on us. The deal closed!

To say we were excited when we pulled into the driveway is an understatement. Over the next few years we worked fixing up this beach bungalow, while stopping often to enjoy the island. We put a ton of blood, sweat and a few tears into this endeavor but seeing our before and after pictures makes it all worth it. We hope you enjoy Howl at the Sea and find a little piece of paradise and some rest and relaxation. We are so happy to share this with you.

Why they chose this property

We began looking for an investment property at the beaches close to Tallahassee where we live and after much consideration of places like Panama City and Destin, which we thought was too commercialized, busy and not super pet friendly, we then looked at Alligator Point, which we thought didn't have enough to do, so we decided St George Island was the perfect fit for us. Our kids have 4 legs and we just fell in love with the fact that our dogs were allowed on the beach (leashed of course) and even to the restaurants. Not to mention SGI is peaceful yet has many dining and entertainment options but isn't overly commercialized, keeping the quaint feeling.

What makes this property unique

We think our property stands out from many on the island because of our yard. It is large, flat, fenced and very useable. So let those pups run free and enjoy the sand between their toes too. We have taken advantage of this large yard by adding many games such as ping pong, giant jenga and connect 4, and cornhole, as well as a nice relaxing hammock under the palms and a patio bistro under string lights. We also have 2 kiddie and pet pools and a few sprinklers for even the adults to cool off with on the hot summer days. Come frolic in our backyard and get to the beach in a minute out our back gate using the beach access path.
