Family Friendly. Very Clean. Local Friendly Owners. Beautiful Gulf View.

Across the street from the beach on a private one acre lot! Fool's Gold features Gulf views from the comfort of a newer home! The living area offers an open great room with large well stocked kitchen, spacious dining area, and comfy living room with a large flat screen TV and queen sleeper-sofa sectional. The front porch, right off the living area is great for watching the sunrise over morning coffee or catching a great sunset with afternoon drinks.

The master bedroom offers a king bed, flat screen TV, and private bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. There are two other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a twin over full bunk bed. Both bedrooms feature flat screen TV's. A full bathroom and laundry room with washer and dryer are also located right across the hall.

There is an enclosed shower with hot and cold water located right under the house for rinsing off your sandy toe's. Also downstairs, there is a camp style grill along with extra seating and games for the family. The yard has plenty of room to lay towels or blankets down at night for some great star gazing. There is a deeded beach access boardwalk just two driveways down from the house! Walking time is about two minutes at the most.

We provide a few beach chairs, floats, beach toys and an umbrella for your days under the sun.

It's all about the outdoors on St George Island and our property has plenty of room for parking, so don't shy away from the idea of bringing your boat or golf cart. We are 0.5 mile from the St George Island State Park. The park has a boat ramp, lots of beach access points with paved parking and public restrooms. You can also buy a pass from the Park for fishing the East End Cut. It's a great spot! There are some other fun features on the island! The bike path is just across the street from Fool's Gold. The park with basketball court and playground is 0.7 mile away. Also, climb the 92 steps to the top of the historic St. George Lighthouse for breathtaking 360 degree view of our delicate ecosystem: Apalachicola Bay Estuary, St. George Sound, Gulf of Mexico, Little St. George Island and St. Vincent Island.

We enjoyed our stay - the house was beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning for coffee and enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day. The house is very close to the State Park, we enjoyed spending a few days there. I highly recommend, perfect getaway for 3 best friends!

The home, "Fool's Gold" was exactly what we had expected and we were quite satisfied with the arrangements. We especially appreciated the spacious porch and the view across the dunes to the water. It was our first time on St George Island and we enjoyed exploring the unique, natural setting of this quiet beach.

Great place to stay on St. George Island

This home was perfect for our trip, which included kids ranging from 2 to 10. We had a great time there and found the property well equipped with working appliances and comfortable beds. The walk to the beach was just as advertised and we would recommend this property for anyone interested in visiting St. George Island, especially if you are coordinating with a family camping at the State Park.

Lovely ocean view

We are neighborhood ladies who were looking for a quiet beach trip to relax and kick back. We sat on the front porch with coffee/tea each day and watched the sunset on the front porch each night In between, we went to the beach, shopped and ate delicious food. Trip was everything we hoped for and we thank our host for all she did for us.

The house was exceptional! It was very clean, well supplied, and in a beautiful, secluded area. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space inside and out. It was very nice sitting on the porch watching the sunrise (although “beach view” is a stretch). Sarah was quick to respond with our question. But you should be aware…there are over 60 stair steps from the porch to the beach. This was a huge inconvenience for us as we were there to fish and we take a beach cart, 6 fishing poles, cooler, chairs, umbrellas and buckets to the beach on a daily basis. Double inconvenience…we took the SUV instead of the truck because of gas prices and had to take the cart and all the fishing poles apart, drive to the park or public beach, then take it all apart again (when very sandy) to bring back to the house. However, my sis-in-law with back issues would not have been able to climb the steps anyway. Just something that everyone needs to be aware of.

We absolutely loved our week here at Fool’s Gold! The beach access is only a short 2/3 minute walk from the house and the beach is gorgeous. Great communication from the host, she was quick with a response to any questions that came up.We got to see some dolphins playing in the water while sitting on the front porch. There were hundreds of dragonflies, several bats, tree frogs, and lizards too.The state park is just a couple minutes down from the house and is worth the fee to get in for the day. My only complaint is that I didn’t want to leave! Definitely will look into coming back here in the future!

Great 4th on SGI!!

This house is just as advertised! It was perfect for our family of five. Very clean and furnished with all that we needed and more! So much room for parking under the house with plenty of room for cornhole while it was raining. Nice view of the Gulf when having morning coffee on the deck. Short 2 minute walk to a secluded beach. No need to get up before the sunrise to jockey for a spot to setup for the day! Great communication with the owner, especially when the storm knocks off the power and she calls the power company for you and lets you know when it should come back on! We loved our vacation and would definitely stay again!

Perfect for our family!

We had an absolutely lovely stay here! Our first time to SGI but definitely not our last. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy. The walk to the beach isn’t bad and the privacy at this home is unmatched. Wooded lot on 3 sides. The home has beach chairs and 2 kayaks as well. Our 2 teenagers enjoyed having their own rooms. Lots of spices already there so check the house before you go shopping. The frying pans and sheet pans have seen better days, but we made it work. We would absolutely stay here again!
