Hello – My name is Tim Riordan and I have hosted over 1,000 families from all over the world since 2005 and generally speaking it’s been a great experience.
Our average booking is 4 nights with typical stays ranging from 3 to 7 nights. Occasionally we’ll get bookings that are 2 to 8 weeks long with the latter being in the January to March time frame only. Well behaved children and pets are most welcome. Quiet, responsible drinkers are welcome and smokers are welcome, albeit ALL smoking must be done outside of the homes with butts disposed of appropriately. Drugs in any form are not welcome.
The Vacation Rental market is rapidly changing, and all the major listing sites are trying to capitalize on these changes by nickeling and dimeing travelers and property owners. All major listing sites are now charging booking or service fees between 6% to 17% to the travelers/guests. Save $$ and Book Direct with me!
A dog friendly non-Smoking, Island Home complete with designer furnishings! New hardwood flooring installed this Spring.
Travel over the 4 mile bridge to beautiful St. George Island with its white sand beaches. The bay area offers great kayaking and fishing.
St. George Island is across the bay from historic Apalachicola, Florida, seafood and oyster capital of the world. Apalachicola has become an enclave of eclectic galleries, shops and gourmet restaurants.
This three bedroom two full bath home features a large living area with vaulted ceilings. Two of the bedrooms are furnished with queen-size beds and TVs in the room and the third with two twin beds. The large galley kitchen opens up to the living room and has all the cooking utensils needed for cooking the excellent local seafood.
All cleaning fees and taxes are included in the rental rates. No hidden fees.
Internet WIFI is available.
Enjoy the island evenings and beautiful stars on the large covered deck in back. Either side of the home features extra wide entry steps to make moving in easier. Boaters and fishermen welcome. Three block walk to beach access and half a block to fishing in the bay. The TVs have been upgraded to flat screens.
You must be 25 years of age to rent.
Rentals in the Summer Season are by the weekly (7) night stay rate and the total rental rate is $2,200.00.
Taxes, cleaning fees and linens are included.
