The dining table offers dining with a gorgeous water views and the well-equipped kitchen shines with new stainless-steel appliances and natural lighting with tall windows and sky light. The nearby laundry room has a full-size washer/dryer.

A bonus Bayside sunroom is a great space to lounge while enjoying the panoramic Apalachicola Bay views. The sunroom also opens onto the furnished Bayside sun deck where you can dine outdoors or simply sit and take in the sunsets.

The whole purpose of the trip was fishing. Our Son was able to fish on the private dock. Also just across the street was a lot/walk way to access the beach. The place was clean and very well equipped with all the amenities. Sunroom was amazing

Comfortable and inviting

Our stay was very relaxing with awesome views, comfortable furniture and spacious showers. The extras that were available to assist in my feeble attempt at fishing was definitely appreciated! Going in January isn’t the best time for that though . We visit the park a lot, so being close was convenient. January is a great time to look for shells and other free souvenirs on the miles of pristine breach.

The rental property was excellent with all the amenities you will want including kayaks and beach gear. The only I did not like was that t when I looked at the beach rental though your email, they charged my credit card twice for $70 when I did not select or place an order! That is considered FRAUD

First time staying on the bayside and fell in love

When we pulled into the driveway the house wasn’t right on the road which we loved. There is the coolest oak tree in front of the house which I instantly fell in love with. We went to the dock before we ever set foot in the house and saw large crabs and fish were jumping all in front off the dock. We love to fish so this was a welcomed sight. When we finally made into the house, we were not disappointed. Everything was clean and the house is spacious. It was stocked with everything we initially needed. This is our fourth summer in St.George and this is my favorite property. We hope to stay again.

Overall our stay was excellent. The size of the home and the location were great. Tremendous view of the marsh and bay! Service and communication with the rental agency was excellent. On the down side, the house and property are older and could use a lot of TLC. The grounds were unkept and in disrepair. While it could have been because of our stay, trees had been cut in the back yard and had not been removed. The dock area was new but had no railings or other safety features and we felt this was a liability. Inside, the kitchen and bathrooms were obviously remodeled, so we assumed the rest of the house was a work in progress. Again, a LOT of TLC needed. Furniture was old, worn, and in some cases smelled bad. In need of replacement. Same with the mattresses. They desperately need replacement. Downstairs game room smelled very musty and we did not use. Would we stay there again? Absolutely! But only because of the location and only if we has assurances that some improvements and repairs had been made. However, will definitely rent from Forgotten Shores Properties in the future.

A very beautiful place in a quiet location

The house is a very spacious place with awesome sun room overlooking the bay. The kitchen has everything you need for making meals. Also, the game room was an added bonus with ping pong table, darts and other games when its raining or at night. There multiple kayaks, a paddle board and beach buggy. We had a great time and will come back.

Better than beach front

When renting this property we were somewhat disappointed that it was not beach front but that was quickly replaced with thanksgiving. This property is off the road has a fantastic dock and is private with great views of the bay! There is an access to the beach directly across from it. We think our view of the bay area was even better than the beach view. The sunsets in mid September were breathtaking and we could watch from the comfort and privacy of our dock!!!

Absolutely fabulous vacation and stay at Shell Point! Awesome location and home on the bay, even better than the pictures. House was spotless and had everything we needed. Views were amazing. We had a great time kayak fishing in the bay and also enjoyed the beach which was just a very short and easy walk to get to. We rent on St. George most summers and this was the best house we've stayed at, and property managers were so thoughtful. Highly recommend!

Paradise! Sparkling clean beach house with every comfort one could need or want. Its the bay access and stunning bayside views/sunsets that make this island home extra special. Easy beach access across the street and the State Park is practically next door. There is a private dock on the bayside to launch the house supplied kayaks/paddleboards, or to sit and watch the sunsets and birds. Comfy, light-filled sitting areas are perfect for coffee, reading and relaxing. The high-end kitchen knives, stainless steel cookware, and quality appliances make cooking a joy too. Hope to return soon and stay for longer!

Great location. Wonderful view of the bay and a short walk to the beach. Beach was wide white sand with high dunes. There is over three miles of deserted beach going east. The bayside dock provided a relaxing spot in the evening. It was too cold and windy for kayaking. Not much on St George Island but Apalachicola has some nice shops. Gumbo at the Owl Cafe was terrific.
