You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beach+Bay: On the Water. Boat Launch. Pool. Dock.

Waterfront with a PRIVATE boat ramp — in the back yard (all to yourself). Our home has a private pool, fish cleaning station, plenty of parking for trucks, trailers... and so close to the beach, you can hear the waves crashing from one of the four decks or the dock or while lounging by the pool...

Designed with fun in mind, Fishin' Tradition is one of a kind!

The top floor's large, open design is spacious enough for the whole family to gather, with lots of room for food and fun and enough deck space to soak up the sun! The huge kitchen is a great gathering spot with an oversized island and big windows offering lots of natural light (the sun, not the beer).

The comfy living room furniture and a large L-shaped sofa is relaxing after a fun day. The sofa also converts to a double bed.

The three Master Suites each have their own full, private bathroom. Each suite has double sliding glass doors that open to one of four full-length porches. Three of the bedrooms have king sized beds, and the fourth bedroom offers four twin sized beds (two bunk beds). Each bedroom has a Roku Smart TV.

Two of the bedrooms overlook the beautiful bayside canal and two open to the refreshing pool on the ground level below. The wooden, custom built staircase connects the sleeping area on the first floor to the open air living room and kitchen on the top floor. And your vacation home has FREE high speed WiFi, Roku Smart TVs in every room.

Outside, you will find a dock that spans the full length of the property, complete with an outdoor sink for cleaning your catch, a private boat ramp to launch boats, jet skis, kayaks and other water toys, or you can just float in the canal. There’s lots of room for grilling up the groceries you catch from the dock. Redfish, flounder and trout are our guests’ main catches.

Cook your meals on the downstairs patio area on the gas grill or the Weber charcoal grill. You might even catch some free entertainment if the dolphin or manatee are hanging out in the canal below...

Initial entry to the home is accessible via keyless entry door on the first floor. Prior to your arrival, a code will be sent to you a couple of hours before the 5:00 pm check-in time; so there are no keys to keep up with!

This home was recently purchased by our local family, native to this area since the year 1898j. For over 125 years, seven generations of our family have called this slice of paradise our home. We've owned properties on St. George Island since the 1960's, and lifetimes of memories have been enjoyed in our island homes for decades. So, we're excited to continue that rendition, through our new home, "FISHIN' TRADITION".

>>> Our sun deck is being renovated but should be available very soon.
