Perfect for our stay. Beds are comfortable. House is well laid out, and well equipped. And it was very very clean. Forgotten Shores is very easy to deal with. Loved the dock. And the downstairs when one of us had a tutoring session. 3/4 mile walk to Pollywhogs on sidewalks. About the same to Nature center.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this house! We have always stayed in the same house in Lanark village but we were not able to get it this year. We ran across this one at the last minute and it was great! So great we plan to stay here more in the future! It's absolutely beautiful. Being able to sit on the dock and see the sunsets were my favorite! Sitting on the screened in porch was very relaxing. We can't wait to stay again! A pool would be a great addition for this house! My kids truly enjoyed it but they were hoping we would have a pool where we stayed! I have to add that everyone I talked to from forgotten Shores properties were extremely nice and so much help! Thank you guys so much!

Lake House on the Bay

Enjoyed our stay! View and dock is amazing. I loved dog bowls in place for dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds. Dishes have to be put back, so I wasn’t confident of cleanliness. Leaving dishes in dishwasher is an incentive for guests to use it. Garbage had to be pulled to the street. Loved that I could check in early!

The property was perfectly situated between St. George Island and Apalachicola. We had waited until the last minute to rent not knowing our exact dates to be in the area. We normally rent on the island; however, with the holiday weekend, it was close to impossible. This house fit the bill for us perfectly. It was newly renovated, the furnishings were new, and the view from the new dock was gorgeous. The only drawbacks were the dock was too high and the water too shallow for a boat. It was a lovely stay.

Anniversary Getaway

We were celebrating our 44th anniversary and decided to go away for a few days. We found this property hoping to do a little fishing but Mother Nature had other ideas. The heat made it difficult for the air conditioning to keep up during the day; the nights were better but it took a while to cool down. The house was immaculate and the appliances were all brand new. Also the house was fully stocked with every accessory for cooking. The only thing that really bothered us was the tv situation. Couldn’t figure out how to get regular channels only could get what was on Samsung Plus. Small inconvenience but somewhat annoying nevertheless. Would recommend this property for anyone not needing to put a kayak in the water or didn’t need to watch a lot of tv.
