Welcome to Cat Point Hideaway!

Location, location, location! Cat Point Hideaway is located on 4.5 acres near the foot of the St. George Island bridge at ‘Cat Point’ in Eastpoint, only 5 miles from the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Cat Point’s quiet bay beach has been a beloved location for local fisherman and has witnessed generations of oystermen and women harvesting those famous Apalachicola Bay oysters from the once bountiful waters of the Apalachicola Bay.

This secluded 4BR/2.5BA Bayfront home can be found on private land surrounded by oaks, palmettos and pines with unobstructed Bay views and direct access to the shoreline. Walk along the sandy bay beach, collect seashells and relax among the coastal vegetation in your own private sanctuary!

The main floor of the home offers an open living space with water views and access to a large covered deck overlooking the beach, a great spot to watch the sunrise and relax among the Oaks. Just past the living room is a half bath which opens into a separate bathroom with tub/shower. Two bedrooms each with a Queen bed are at the end of the hall. A Queen sleeper sofa in the living room offers additional sleeping accommodations for two.

Upstairs is the bunk bedroom which can sleep up to 4. Guests of this room will enjoy the best views of the neighboring pond, home to many local water birds. The master bedroom can be found just across the hall and offers a King bed, a private bathroom with shower and a balcony with Bay views.

Outside amenities feature a hot tub, enclosed outdoor shower, fishing cleaning area, park-style charcoal grill, fire pit, under-house parking and large, open yard space.

As our public beaches are pet friendly, we happily allow up to 2 well-behaved dogs 50lbs or less with advance approval for an additional fee of $150. + tax Please note, dogs are required to be leashed on public beaches.

Just a short stroll from the property is the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (ANERR) where you can learn about the local Florida habitat, view exhibits of estuarine life and find out how the River, Bay and the Gulf connect.

Nearby ‘Cat Point Trail’, just across Island Drive, is a short hiking trail which takes you into a coastal forest of mixed-pines and salt marsh habitat along the Apalachicola Bay. This half mile loop offers views of marsh and tidal pools without direct access to the Bay beach and is a great birding spot.

Ready to cast a line? The Eastpoint Fishing Pier, once the original bridge to St. George Island, is just a half mile from the property and offers 3,000 feet of bridge for walking, fishing or just enjoying the Bay views. Redfish, flounder and sea trout are among some of the more plentiful Bay catch, and dolphin sightings are common.

Experience a new adventure at Cat Point Hideaway!

Amazing location

We loved the location: isolated yet perfectly located right close to both bridges (st George and apalachicola) the place was very clean and throughly appreciated the second thermostat upstairs. The only recommendation for improvement would be the master bed room mattress it wasn’t very comfortable but overall we would stay here again due to the positive experience and most of all the location.

Secluded and Convenient

Immaculately clean property with beautiful views and lots of wildlife (we saw the alligator but it stayed on the far side of the pond!). We were a group of 10 and the kitchen was perfectly stocked with enough dishes and many helpful small appliances. The beverage fridge was especially helpful with having enough space in the main fridge. Conveniently located to SGI and Appalachicola. The Esuary Research center next door is a worthy destination. Screened porch was a favorite hangout for many and we enjoyed the ability to walk to the fishing pier by either the driveway or beach. Walks along the beach do require shoes as there are lots of oyster shells.

Great house and close to everything!

We stayed at the house and it was wonderful as it was close to everything we needed to do. It is in Eastpoint and has a lovely sunrise view…we had work to do in both Apalachacola and St George Island and it was right in the middle of both locations! They could have been a little more generous with guest towels but we washed them and made do plus brought extra towels. Great house and great stay! We will rent again!

wonderful setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at Cat Point before. It is a lovely house and it is well stocked. Since there were only two of us we didn't use the upstairs. The downstairs beds are OK but not super comfortable.There are a lot of stairs as the house is built on tall pillars but there are solid railings. The realtors will help with your luggage. What is great is the view and the surrounding property. It has a huge deck and screened porch that look out over the Bay. The yard has moss-covered oaks and other trees. Out back is a nice pond that now has a gator or two. So unlike SGI, where most houses sit side by side in treeless lots, this house offers privacy, seclusion, and a wonderful natural setting. It is only 4 miles over the bridge to SGI and 6 mi to Apalachicola. Lovely place!

Wonderful Location & View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a modern home (it is for sale for $2m) in a great location. It faces the bay, has a nice screened porch, a nice oak-lined driveway and a large mowed yard with a pond that sometimes apparently has a gator or two. There are a lot of stairs but the railings are strong and our group (we are in the 70s and low 80s) did manage them well. If you ask, Forgotten Shores will help you with your luggage and that was appreciated. Easy to communicate with them. The housekeeper does need to provide more hand soap pumps and toilet paper. We ran out of the former and ran low of the latter. Located at the bridge to St. George Island it is a lovely place to vacation. Would stay there again.
