Nestled in the heart of St. George Island, The Sandy Turtle offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Just steps from the beach, this newly renovated vacation home makes enjoying the best of the Forgotten Coast a breeze. Start your day with a good book on the covered deck or dip your toes into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf.

The first floor offers a Gulf front king bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Just down the hall is a 2nd king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The washer and dryer are also located on this level.

After a day of beach fun, rinse off in the convenient enclosed outdoor shower, then fire up the private charcoal grill to cook up your fresh catch of the day. Gather around the picnic table with family and friends to share your meal, and take in the ocean breeze as the sun sets over this coastal haven.

I love this location. I think it is very convenient to Paddy's Raw Bar & Coffee & Cream, as well as Island Dog Beach & Surf Shop. The Piggly Wiggly grocery store is also in close proximity to this beautiful beach house. I can't wait to plan my next beach trip to St George Island, Florida. This beautiful beach home is so inviting & made me & my Mom feel right at home.

We had a wonderful stay at The Sandy Turtle! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches like doggie bags, dog bowls, wine and beer coolers, and a convenient outdoor shower.We especially loved the gated patio—perfect for our dogs to hang out safely without worrying about them running off to the beach. The enclosed loft turned bedroom was also a great use of space.We’ve been coming to St. George Island for over 20 years and have stayed in many row houses—this is definitely one of the best. Even though this was a short trip for us, we truly enjoyed it and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
