Can't decide on the beach or the bay??? The Seahorse Shanty is for you!
Enjoy beautiful SGI sunrises and sunsets at the Seahorse Shanty! The home is a charming bay front 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with large family room including updated kitchen and bathrooms. The home has two large decks, oversized patios and relaxing screen room that is great for enjoying the AWESOME vibes of St. George Island! The Seahorse Shanty has a very âhomelike atmosphereâ that makes you feel like you are at your home away from home when you are on vacation on this wonderful island. It has a Newly Fenced back yard with a private dock and great canal which is perfect for boating, fishing or kayaking. New dock water system with outside shower makes enjoying the dock that much better! When you step out of the front doorâŠyou are just a short walk, bike ride or golf cart ride away from the beach. The home is in close proximity to the great restaurants, shopping, and entertainment of St. George Island. Our Golf Cart, âThe Shanty Mobileâ is available for rent during your stay.
We absolutely had the best time staying on the forgotten coast in the Seahorse Shanty! Kathy was a wonderful host staying in contact throughout the week making sure we knew local information. All the locals on the island were so friendly. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out. We were able to launch our paddle boards right from the backyard dock. Got to fish nightly in the canal. And the golf cart that we got to rent from the house was the perfect touch to our week long stay on the island! Highly recommend staying at the Seahorse Shanty!
We had the most amazing and relaxing week at the Seahorse Shanty and loved the Shanty Mobile! The house was pet friendly and had everything we needed to enjoy our week! Close to beach access and yummy restaurants!
Wonderful location with a clean house. The dock is perfect and a wonderful place to put in kayaks and thereâs so many outside seating areas. The hosts are great with communicating.
Great little house with plenty of room for our family (2 kids and a dog). Awesome being on the canal and caught a couple of fish as well. Good access to the beach, not far at all and off the beaten path a little bit, which was nice. Owner was very friendly and accommodating, would stay here again! Pictures and description are accurate.
We had a great time at this beach house. It had lovey bay front views with a perfect dock for fishing. The screened porch below the house was a nice spot to relax. Everything was clean in the house. This house had so many extra touches to make it feel like home. The kitchen was particularly well stocked, including a full set of Tupperware that came in so handy, appliances, and dog bowls and matts. The house is just a five minute walk to the beach, or any easy and quick drive with easy parking access. The host was communicative and helpful via text and super responsive. We hope to stay again in the future.
Great location, we walked to the beach daily. The back yard and canal are super relaxing and enjoyable. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. But if you have kids donât plan on using the top bunk of the bunk beds. Thereâs no ladder or railing on the side. Our 7 year old was planning on sleeping up top but wasnât able to because of this. Owner was helpful and easy to get in touch with! We will be back for sure!
We had the pleasure of staying at Seahorse Shanty for five nights. Having been to the island many times over the years, we decided to give the âBayâ side a try. The house is perfectly situated next to a canal off the bay. The kids were able to snag a few cats from the dock - which they enjoyed. The dock is also great to relax with a drink after a long day on the water.
The house itself was beautifully maintained and smelled very clean upon entering. Kathy was an excellent host checking in frequently via text and offering recommendations and resources for us.
A golf cart rental from Journeyâs was the icing on the cake for getting around the island quickly and shuttling kids, fishing pools and the pup to and from the beach.
Loved the property and hope to stay again soon! Thanks for everything!
This property, in-person, is even better than advertised! We were blessed with perfect weather and enjoyed many days at the beach and fishing/crabbing off of the back dock. The fishing was hit or miss, but my son had lots of fun trying to catch the many blue crabs that live under the dock.
Kathy was an excellent host, incredibly helpful and communicative, but not invasive. We also enjoyed a fishing charter with Griffith Guide Service and an airboat tour. Both are lots of fun and Iâd higjly reccommend each of them.
Canât say enough about the property, very well-appointed and spotless. We hope to be back. The only things folks should be aware if, thereâs a vacant/undef construction lot across the street thatâs inhabited by about 20 chickens and a few roosters. Roosters do what they do, and started crowing around 4:30 AM each morning. You can definitely hear them. If folks enjoy sleeping in, Iâd suggest sleeping in the back bedroom.
The house was immaculate and amazing. Very well stocked. The host was great and communicated quickly. Perfect house 1 block from the beach and on the beautiful bay. My grandson came over and fished and crabbed every evening. There is a perfect little dock a few steps from the house. Very nice fenced-in backyard for dogs. Rented the golf cart and nice to have. St. George Island is a great little island for easy access to the beach and bay. Recommend 5 stars!!!!
The home was perfect! Had everything we needed and was very conveniently located to the beach. The only issue we had was with the house across the street that has free roaming roosters. They WILL wake you up at 4:30 and you will NOT be able to go to sleep. The owners have kindly provided a sound machine that effectively blocks the noise and for most people, this will be just fine. However, if you are like my husband and need COMPLETE silence when you sleep, this is not the best solution. Just take it into consideration when booking. If this is not a concern for you, then donât hesitate to book it. Great place and great vacation!
The location (center of the island) is a short drive to restaurants, an easy walk to a beautiful low- traffic stretch of Gulf beach and a great view down the canal to the bay. The canal provides a boat berth a few yards from the back door and quick access to the bay. The house is high enough above ground that the view is good and the bugs are not an issue. We'll be back.
This property is wonderful!! Do not hesitate on renting this!! The island is so beautiful and laid back, just what we needed. The house and property is in a great location and has tons of outside area to just unwind. The property manager is amazing and answered every question I had!! We will definitely revisit if we ever come back.
We enjoyed our stay on St. George Island. The house was amazingly clean and in a great location on the bay with a private dock. We kayaked and caught a good bit of fish. The pier/old bridge is also a great place to fish, but don't forget your pier net to pull up the big ones. We caught several sharks and stingrays there. The house was perfect and Kathy was very informative and a pleasure renting from.
The house was immaculate and smelled clean upon entering. The host was quick to communicate with and helpful. Perfect location with a beautiful view from the back porch. Would stay here again.
We had a great stay at the Seahorse Shanty in St. George Island. The owners were very responsive and made our stay fantastic. The beach is only 2 short blocks away and the sunsets on the back porch are amazing. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area! Thanks Kathy for such a wonderful place!
The pictures do not do this property justice! The interior is absolutely amazing and well decorated while the outside has several amenities (dock, ping pong table, outdoor/screened in porch, etc) and is so spacious while only being 5 minutes from the beach. Kathy is wonderful and is very communicative on the process and any questions you have on your stay. I encourage you look through her THOROUGH binder in the home as we found several restaurants we hadnât heard of within. I really canât say enough great things (dock side sunsets were insane) - it truly surpassed all our expectations and we definitely will return!! Thank you!!!
We fell in love with the Island paradise of St. George 13 years ago while traveling along the beautiful Forgotten Coast. Last year we purchased this awesome beach/bay home which we enjoy sharing with others when we cannot be in paradise. We currently live in Woodstock Georgia with our dogs (Paco and Lala) and our cat (Winter).
This home has the best of both...out back is a yard with a dock on a beautiful canal... out front you are just a short walk from the beautiful St. George Island Beach!
