Canal Front, small dog ok, dock, screened private pool!

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 Saltwater Charlie's!

Located canal-front and just a 6-minute walk or 2-minute bicycle ride to the Gulf beach, this Cypress home is found within the prestigious St. George Plantation community and is surrounded by pines and palmettos for the ultimate in privacy and relaxation. Elegantly rustic, Saltwater Charlie’s has a casual and relaxed vibe with an upscale feel.

The open living area is bathed in natural light w/ water views, 2 leather sofas, recliners and a large, flat screen TV w/ DVD player (sorry, fireplace is not available). A nearby game table is the perfect place for a family boardgame, puzzle or card game and a separate dining table seats up to 6 with additional dining options outside on the covered deck.

The beautifully updated gourmet kitchen boasts granite counters, tile backsplash, gas range and one-of-a-kind Cypress cabinets. Stainless steel appliances, a dedicated food pantry and a separate desk area complete this space, all with a gorgeous canal view! A full-size washer/dryer and utility room are located just past the kitchen and the breakfast bar seats up to 3.

The furnished and screened-in porch just off of the kitchen features comfortable lounge seating and a large, daybed swing for those lazy afternoons.

Just past the kitchen, two guest bedrooms (King and Queen bedroom) share a hall bathroom with combination tub/shower, and quick and easy access to a convenient elevator (the elevator travels between the ground level and the 1st floor only).

The top floor spacious Master Suite features ocean-hued stained-glass windows, a King-sized bed, large walk-in closet and private bathroom with bathtub and separate shower. A furnished and covered private balcony offers grand views of the Apalachicola Bay and is a great spot to enjoy the sunset.

Your private screened pool is surrounded by natural vegetation for a tranquil swim and the covered carport offers plenty of shaded space to entertain with picnic table, propane grill and fish cleaning sink. A hot/cold outdoor shower w/ waterfall showerhead makes beach or pool cleanup a breeze. (PLEASE NOTE: Pool heat is not available; spill-over spa is not heated/jetted.)

Located on a canal that empties into the Apalachicola Bay, you can launch your kayak or SUP board directly from your own private dock to explore the nearby marsh and Bay waters. Flats boats with low draft requirements are also suitable at this location.

As a guest staying inside the St. George Plantation community, you can enjoy miles of bike paths, walking trails, access to fishing at Bob Sike’s Cut, and being minutes from the serene Gulf beach. The nearby St. George Plantation Clubhouse offers a community lap pool, fitness center, and tennis court. Additional amenities within the Plantation include three dedicated pickle ball courts on Sea Pine, a beautifully designed full-size pool at Resort Village, and a second tennis court located off Leisure Lane and Pelican Court.

Our stay at Saltwater Charlie's was perfect! The quiet and solitude made for the most relaxing beach house vacation; between star-watching on the dock, drinks by the pool, board games in the evenings, and walks on the beach we really made the most of the everything the house had to offer. Would be a great stay for families or some couples. Make sure to look for the Milky Way at night from the dock!

Peaceful and beautiful

Property location and grounds were beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The layout of the house was great for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. The screened in porch is a great feature and the space under the house is excellent. The dock was another bonus and had access to the bay for kayaking and paddle boarding. Would stay here again.

Comfortable stay

The property and house were very clean and comfortable. It’s so quiet and peaceful. The pool was perfect for our kids to play in and the screen added the much needed protection from the bugs. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. The beach is not far at all and easy to access.

Anniversary Stay

Everything was well maintained and clean. If you're planning on staying in April the pool will be a bit colder. The dock was great, view was beautiful, but if you plan on being outside in the evening bring bug spray! Overall experience was wonderful!

We were also happy to have both the weight room and large, clubhouse pool available. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house was clean. Loved everything about our stay!

Our favorite house so far

We have rented a house on SGI twice a year for almost twenty years. This is my favorite so far. Comfortable beds, great showers, beautiful views, really lovely home. Well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed having a private dock. The water is pretty shallow, but perfect for putting in kayaks. Great bird watching

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hubby and I had a great stay at Saltwater Charlie’s. It was super private with amazing sunsets. We took several bike rides, fished in the cut and ate some awesome local restaurants. We stayed in the king bed on the lower level because the main suite upstairs was difficult to cool. The king bed on the lower level was perfectly comfortable. Everything was clean and comfortable and the pool was also amazing. We would return to this unit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely, spacious, well-maintained home. Price was a little higher than I usually pay for a 3BDR. House is set back from the road and has lots of foilage between it and the other homes. We enjoyed the many porches. Loved having the bay view and the dock to fish and kayak (I used the VayK credit to get a kayak). The screened pool was awesome. My husband loved having the elevator and it definitely made it easier to load/unload. Well stocked kitchen with Keurig and coffe maker and the coolest toaster I have ever used. The home is a short walk (<10min) to the beach and it was fun to try out the different routes. The plantation has lots of fun paths if you are up for a long walk/run/bike. We spent a morning playing pickle ball but didnt try out the rec center since we had our own pool. It is a bit of a drive to get back to the main area of the island. We did venture out most days and went to Eastpoint Brewing (Tuesday trivia), Webers Donuts, Paddy's, Big Fish Cafe food truck (great food and prices), Captains Corner (biscuits), the new Bayside coffee shop (located in BJs pizza), Apalachicola Chocolate& Coffee (whole key lime pie), 13Mile Seafood (fresh shrimp, grouper), Owl Tap Room and Dockside in Apalachicola, plus visits to the state park, ANERR, Apalach Home Tour and the Dwarf Cypress boardwalk in Tates ****. Lots to do! The pool screen had a huge tear in it but they sent someone to fix it on our first day. Some of the posts on the dock/stairs are a bit rotten and wobbly, so you need to be careful. The stove is gas, which I also have at home, but I thought it should've had some instructions, as some burners required using a lighter to light the gas. Overall a great rental.

Reviewer Comments: Our family has been staying at different homes throughout the Plantation for many years and we can say that SWC is one of our favorites on the bay. We loved the screened front porch for afternoon napping and the kitchen was perfectly organized and well-stocked. Everything was immaculate and all the beds were very comfy. We also loved the feeling of privacy amidst all the surrounding trees and foliage - but still had an amazing view of the bay and the beautiful sunsets. Also, a shout-out to the staff at Forgotten Shores who were on the ball when we had an internet problem - they were very kind and considerate overall. We hope to be back to visit SWC soon!
