About this property

Reel Good Time Beach House

Summer Special: Book and Stay Now through Sept. 30th for only $250 a night- plus taxes and fees. (Excluding Holidays)
Renovations continued this year to ensure our guests have a Reel Good Time with; new furniture, new countertops, new flooring, new A/C, new mattresses, updated internet and big screen TV, and we repainted the interior, and had new windows and door installed in living room. The beach house is ready for you! Come watch beautiful sunrises and awe inspiring sunsets, view star filled dark skies from our balcony overlooking St. George Sound and Dog Island. 18 steps takes you to the beach. Take the kids and dogs for a 3 mile walk along a continuous private access beach. Only 10 minutes from Carrabelle to the East and Eastpoint to the West and 20 Minutes from Apalachicola and St. George Island, you are centrally located to great food, great local breweries and memorable activities. The freshest seafood you will ever eat is here. Oyster houses, seafood markets and crazy good BBQ are minutes away. Fur Babies are welcomed in many dining and retail establishments and on most beaches! Surf fishing from this property is popular with the kids and adults, as is netting blue crabs, in season. You can charter a boat for 1/2 day or full day of bay or deep sea fishing or to tour barrier islands. Visit Carrabelle beach, and the WWII Museum to learn how this area was used to train our troops for Normandy. Apalachicola has many antique shops, restaurants, and timeless historic homes as it was a major US Customs port in the past. Tate's Hell State Wildlife Area Forest is across the street from our home with nature trails to enjoy with splendid bird watching. Shelling is always fun on St. George island. You can also simply stay home, watch the dolphins and the waves or do absolutely nothing (our preferred activity!).
Come stay awhile and have a Reel Good Time!

Quiet Vacation

Overall a good experience. Home is nothing fancy but, was clean and comfortable. The flies outside were a nightmare so weren’t able to really spend any time on the deck but that’s not exactly a manageable issue. AC was temperamental freezing 1st night then hot the next and couldn’t get it to adjust to their requested temperature (73).

Great week at the beach

My family had a great Thanksgiving week at the beach. The location to the water was perfect for my two kids and the fact that we could bring our furbaby along too was especially appreciated. House had everything we needed and we loved it!

Summer Getaway

The pictures do not do this property justice. It was absolutely beautiful and pristine! We saw dolphins and loved sitting out on the patio. The water is right out back and you are far enough away from neighbors that you never feel like you are interacting with others. We loved it and can’t wait to come back.

If you want seclusion and your own private beach, this is it. Saw 1 other person in our 4 day stay. We wanted isolation. Found it. Great place to bring your dogs and just let them romp and explore the sand and water.

We enjoyed staying here and loved the morning sunrise. There were a few things that disappointed us about the place. I’ll just leave it at that. I don’t know if I would stay again.

Real Good Time 2023

Overall we loved the location, the beach, and privacy!! Area still in rebuild process from storms 5 years ago but was great for the R&R we were looking for. Home was well stocked and totally fine but in need of some TLC. Internet and TV did not work so that was a little disappointing for evenings and nights in. Will definitely keep on the list for future getaways!

Perfect week on the Forgotten Coast!

We loved our time in the beach house and on the "Forgotten Coast". The beach out front was just lovely - shallow, calm, wonderful for walks and for our grade school-aged kids to explore and play safely in. The house was spotless and recently updated. It's got a great cooking kitchen (excellent selection of pots and pans though be prepared to bring/buy ALL of your spices, etc) and we cooked fresh seafood from the market down the road on three different nights. Deck was amazing for coffee, meals, and after-dinner cocktails. Overall, just a perfect experience and we will likely stay again.

Great place to stay & relax

We really enjoyed our stay. Friendly & helpful staff. The place was very clean, comfy, shady & relaxing. Has a wonderful view & a cute little beach area. The shallow water is not clear in front of the house due to a creek/river flowing into the bay 1 house down. We seen lots of sting rays, jumping fish, coral, & hermit crabs. Great place for our dogs to enjoy the beach. I would suggest bringing chairs if you would like to sit outside under the deck, there is a table but no chairs. There is one circle web-string swing but that's it. No complaints.

Relaxing

The house is wonderful. From the living room and the kitchen, through a wall of windows you can see the water. You can watch the amazing sunrises from the deck with your coffee. It’s only few steps to white sand and water. This is the first time we have been on vacation that our boys never said they were board or ready to go back home. They went fishing everyday and caught plenty of fish. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Property

We took 5 days for some quiet time with our dog and that's exactly what we got! Location is very quiet. We had the beach to ourselves. Home was very clean. Front porch is wonderful to sit and relax over the water. It was apparently horseshoe crab mating season and they were everywhere. We had a young black bear visit one night. He climbed the tree right by the house. He was a beauty! We didn't venture off. Mostly cooked in. Had a few rainy days, but had a wonderful stay regardless! Would love to head back again soon.

Probably good for men who fish all day

Driveway was hard to find at night. Neighbor messed up beach with bobcat. Great view, good furniture and well stocked kitchen. We cooled the house opening the windows in the morning and at night. Cool week but last day hit 82 and AC was froze up when we got back. I tried to turn it off. Washer left clothes dirtier than they went in and soppy wet. Good AC is required for Florida

Great stay overall

It was very clean upon entry. Smelled good. TV and WIFI is great. They had everything you needed as far as the kitchen goes. Bathroom had plenty of towels and were clean. Would have been nice to have some chairs under the deck to sit, if you didn’t want to walk to the beach, because it is a great distance to still see the water from underneath. There was a patio table down there, but no chairs. We bought some inexpensive beach chairs and left them for the next guest. The be clear, this is a bay home. Water was a lot murkier than the other side on St George. The only downfall was the smell of the couch. It was horrible, almost to where you didn’t want to sit on it. Smelled like urine. Just needs a good steam clean.
