NEW TO THE RENTAL MARKET!
(The lower area is ALL beach sand now, cleaned up and looks amazing and welcoming! Exterior renovations and a newly sodded yard and more tropical landscaping will also be completed by 4/30/2025. Pictures coming soon. A pier is in the permiting process now, stay tuned!)
Come home to Halcyon! Halcyon means "idyllic and peaceful", and it is! One of the area's most unique homes on the Bay with views that are unrivaled. New to the rental market, this newly remodeled home has everything you need for a relaxing get away. Our three bedrooms, two and half bath home has plenty of space to spread out and relax! Upon entering the drive to our hidden getaway, you are greeted with a mid-century modern facade with lots of vegetation. Inside the home you'll be greeted with 20-foot-tall ceilings clad with Juniper wood. The wall of windows gives you a glorious view of the live oaks and the dolphins feeding in the Bay. The house is decorated in a laid-back coastal feel that doesn't feel too stuffy, just right. Our open living area sits several comfortably with a view of the TV, fireplace and that Bay view! It also has a game table for late night gatherings, with supplied card and board games. We also have high speed cable internet as well. The kitchen has an eat at island and dining set for plenty of gatherings. Our cabinets are filled with everything you will need for cooking meals and entertaining. We have an induction cooktop, 42" refrigerator, dishwasher, double ovens, microwave and beverage fridge. In the huge laundry room off of the living area, there is plenty of space to sort and fold clothes and an appliance pantry full of small appliances. This entire area is all open for cooking, eating, gaming, watching TV and the pelicans & bald eagles soaring in that beautiful view! The master bedroom evokes a calm retreat perfect for a good night's sleep with spectacular views of the Bay. There is a king size bed, armoire equipped with TV, dresser and a big walk-in closet with a sauna. The attached master bath has a curb less walk in 60" shower with dual shower heads, a soaking tub, separate toilet room and dual vanities. All have a view of the TV, electric fireplace and views of the bay. The master bathroom also has an exterior access to the pool and hot tub. The second master bedroom has a king-sized bed, TV, and shower/tub ensuite. A bunkroom is located off the kitchen with views of the Bay as well. It is equipped with a TV and dresser. The bunks include a queen bottom and twin top. The entire back of the house has an over 2000 square foot wraparound Trex decking that connects the side porch to the pool area. The side porch has a table and chairs for eating, a swing bed for sleeping and a sofa and chair for chatting. The porch also boasts a unique grill area with a connected propane gas grill built in for grilling. The hot tub has the best seats in the house! Sit and chill in the brand-new hot tub overlooking the pool and Bay, it doesn't get any better than that. There is also a porch swing under a beautiful Abor and seating for relaxing. From every place in the house and outside, you will witness the most breath-taking sunsets. You will appreciate the mature tree canopy from most of the outdoor living to keep you in the shade & cool during any time of the year. If the house doesn't have enough to keep you busy, we also have access to the Bay area with a tandem kayak for you to use. We are a Saturday/Saturday rental for the summer. Starting in August, we accept 4-day rentals until March. If you would like to plan a trip now, drop us a line. Halcyon is equipped with a driveway, doorbell and Bay view camera that are only in use when the property is vacant. For more pictures go to

Beautiful Sunset
We had a great stay at your beautiful home. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful. We didn't do much cooking however we would have had everything needed for preparing a gourmet meal. We can't wait to return sometime soon. Jenny was an absolute joy to deal with before, during and after our stay, Thank You!

Idyllically happy & peaceful
11/10 ! Property exceeded our expectations. So many fun memories were made. Exactly the rejuvenation that we we needed. Wow-factor when you walk into the main kitchen & great room. Windows floor to ceiling draw your eye to the beauty of God's creation straight out the back. Hot tub and pool were clean and wonderful - we used them every day. Kitchen was well-stocked for as many different types of meals as we could think of. Plenty of board games and card games to encourage quality time together. We played a couple new games each day. Large, quiet sandy beach was an enjoyable 8min drive across a scenic bridge. We visited during New Years so the weather was a bit chillier, however the bayfront home felt 10-15 degrees warmer than St. George Island when you're right on the beachfront. The wrap around deck was were we spent most of our free time. We had three bald eagles fly directly overhead while we were sitting on the deck. We saw two dolphins swim right up to feed in the shallow water during high tide.Communication with property manager was fantastic. Jenny reached out to ensure we had her direct contact information before arrival. Then again, day 1, to ensure we had everything we needed and made herself available throughout the week to quickly answer any questions or solve any potential issues.

Stunning coastal themed house!
This house sure gives the ‘wow’ factor at every angle! It’s so spacious and beautifully decorated inside. We are already planning a return trip with family. Our relatives (who stayed elsewhere) were absolutely in awe when they came over to this house. Halcyon has everything: awesome propane grill, spa Jacuzzi, pool, game table with millions of board games, bunkbeds for kids, gigantic kitchen with 2 huge islands for prep, any kitchen tool/appliance you need, and wonderful communication by property manager. The details are just incredible as well, our favorite was the metal tentacle handles on the propane grill. It’s a very well thought out house. Once the secret about this property is out, reservations are gonna fill up so quick.

I can’t say enough good things about this place, the owner and the host. The house is absolutely stunning. By far the nicest and cleanest place I have ever stayed. We hated we had to leave early due to a hurricane but we will definitely be back. Jenny and Shane went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.We greatly appreciate everything they did for us.

Beautiful Vacation Home
We loved our stay at Halcyon. Spacious, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The furnishings are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need for meal prepping and cooking. The pool and hot tub have a fabulous view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets. Location is great, in Eastpoint, right between St. George and Apalachicola bridges. The property manager was friendly and responded quickly. Highly recommend!

Hated to leave.
Great property! This house had every appliance, gadget, cooking item etc... It was decorated so cute. If there was one thing I could of thought of, to make this the most fantastic vacatoion, would of been a pier. We would of never had to leave to go fishing on public pier if only there was one. Believe me we leave on the lake and know it is very expensive but a girl can only dream. We had family emergency and had to leave a day early but family came first.

Amazing Views
This place was amazing! The views and the constant breeze you get on the back porch is the BEST!!! Kitchen was fully equipped and beds were very comfortable. The only thing I would change is the chairs on the back deck. The Adirondack chairs are very nice but for the older folks they are not very easy to get out of and they are not very good for your back. They did have other seating on side of house but the breeze and views were blocked. Overall it was beautiful and the owners were very accommodating and the host was wonderful. We will be back!

Wow! We were wondering if this was going to be a nice house since there were not any reviews yet. But wow! It was so nice and everything was brand new. House had everything we could have needed and then some. The pool was beautiful and the views were amazing. The property manager was really helpful, very responsive and so kind.

Amazing Views
The views from outside and inside the house were amazing! This property was very clean and beautifully furnished. The kitchen was fully furnished with any tool/appliance imaginable. The pool was an added bonus. The property manager was super! We would have enjoyed a dock, since we had a boat. I believe this property was recently added to the rental market, so maybe a dock will be in the future. We would definitely rent again, with or without the dock. Beautiful home and location!
