FREE Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!

Welcome to ‘The Big Picture’! It’s all about perspective and the beauty that surrounds this luxury home will persuade you to slow down and open your eyes to the exquisite natural setting that is St. George Island. Set against the backdrop of the Apalachicola Bay, this magnificent property boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths.

The first of 3 bedrooms on the first living level of the home, is a master suite with a cozy Queen bed and flat panel TV. Guests staying in this room have access to a private, covered balcony overlooking the driveway and a private master bath with claw-foot bathtub and a separate, tiled steam shower stall. Double sinks make your shared morning wake up convenient and efficient.

Two additional Queen bedrooms reside on the opposite end of the home, each with incredible views of the beautiful Bay marsh via a shared, screened-in porch…..a breathtaking spot to enjoy your morning coffee and greet the morning sun. Both bedrooms offer a flat-panel TV. Both bedrooms access a private bathroom with full bath/shower combination.

Upstairs is the shared living area of the home as well as a fully accessible handicap-friendly bedroom and bathroom. This bedroom offers easy maneuverability with King bed, access to a private covered balcony overlooking the driveway and a beautifully tiled, large roll-in shower stall with specialty grab bars for your safety as well as a roll-in sink. Pine floors allow for easy movement into the open living space with high, beamed ceilings and plenty of natural lighting. Relaxing in the living room, you can enjoy a movie with family and friends on the large flat screen TV or simply take in the natural beauty of living Bayfront with clear views of bay waters from every window. Multiple doors open onto the large, Bayfront sundeck situated in the treetops, a wonderful place for birdwatching with ample opportunities for sightings of eagles, osprey and more!

The kitchen is a chef’s delight with stainless steel appliances, gas range and a large sink. A convenient pantry is available to store food items and the exceptional, 13-foot granite dining bar provides plenty of space to gather around and recount the days activities. A ½ bath is also available just past the kitchen.

A sleeping loft is located on the top floor of the home and overlooks the living room. This spacious loft offers 2 twins beds, with a convenient ½ bath, entertainment area with flat-panel TV and Roku, books, games and more!

Beautiful days are meant to be shared outdoors and ‘The Big Picture’ offers plenty of spaces to share! A large and private, screened-in swimming pool with a ADA certified pool lift for handicap needs (must be requested in advance), in a relaxing entertainment and lounge area will be waiting for you downstairs. A convenient and fun enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower and an Akorn grill/smoker sits poolside.

The dock is the perfect location to launch your kayak or canoe and explore the beauty of the Apalachicola Bay and surrounding coves. 2 kayaks are available at the property for your use and enjoyment. Please note, due to marsh land a boat cannot access the dock.

The beach is a leisurely 7 minute stroll along the residential roads of the St. George Plantation.

Our second time at this property and we loved it as much as the first time. Screened, Covered pool was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone. Only thing we missed is that there isn’t a big dining table where we could all sit down and eat together

Wonderful home!

Our stay at The Big Picture was everything we could have asked for. Plenty of space, easy checkin, immaculately clean and very responsive management. We never went to the beach in the neighborhood, but enjoyed plenty of pool time. The weather was unbelievably hot, but the AC system worked well and staying inside was the perfect place to cool down. Very quiet and off the beaten path. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at The Plantation on St. George Island! We came to town for a family wedding and this was by far the perfect - out of town - location to stay during the down times.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. It’s clear the owners take great pride in keeping the property in top shape.The location truly immerses you in the charm of island marsh life — peaceful water views, beautiful birds, and abundant local wildlife make it easy to unwind and appreciate nature at its best.As noted in the listing, all (but one) the beds are queens — a bit snug for taller guests like us, but certainly not a dealbreaker! Just something to keep in mind if you’re above average height.The island itself is wonderfully quiet and laid-back — perfect for anyone seeking rest and relaxation. It’s not a place for nightlife or constant activity, but rather for slowing down, soaking up the scenery, and simply enjoying the peace.We’d happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil coastal escape!

Nice place to relax

We have stayed here 3 times and have enjoyed it. The house is big enough for our party but has several areas where you can enjoy peaceful solitude if you want. It is located on the bay side and provides an excellent view. The beach is not far away and the bike / pedestrian trails are great. Recommend having bicycles to see the entire Plantation.

Family getaway

The house and pool were just perfect for our family to get away together during this pandemic. My husband and I and our two adult children and their families needed some beach time and fun together. The house is very beautiful and comfortable and grandchildren ages 15-8 loved the pool. Great access to beach which was perfect for being able to stay apart. Just was a little disappointed with the cleaning that should have been done during this time. We brought plenty of disinfectant though to be safe

A great experience

This is our second year renting this property. We love everything about the house and pool! The house is beautiful and welcoming. The improvements to the dock made our kayaking easier. The weather was so pleasant. We spent many hours relaxing on the screened-in porches, decks, and around the pool. The kitchen is a well-stocked dream. Our family has been somewhat separated due to the Covid-19 virus. It was very nice being able to see one another for a week.

When we arrive, we bring groceries from off the island and eat all meals at the house, the kitchen is great and inviting. Wonderful SGI memories being built here. Just like last year, already looking at calendars to plan our return visit.

A Happily Situated House

Our stay at The Big Picture was awesome! This house is so well thought out and beautifully decorated for a family vacation. There are conveniences on every floor. Both sets of our parents were with us. They appreciated the ease of using the elevator. The kitchen/pantry area was great. There was plenty of room for all of our food. Our favorite place was the screened-in pool area. We enjoyed the swim-out areas in the pool. The patio furniture was very comfortable. The fans made a pleasant breeze for chilling out or reading. We also enjoyed kayaking in the bay. All in all, I'd borrow a phrase from Jane Austen in describing the house... It is very happily situated!
