*Winter monthly rates available*

Nestled in the heart of St. George Island, The Sandy Turtle offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Just steps from the beach, this newly renovated vacation home makes enjoying the best of the Forgotten Coast a breeze. Start your day with a good book on the covered deck or dip your toes into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf. Whether you're lounging in the sun or splashing in the surf, paradise is right outside your door.

The first floor offers a Gulf front king bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Just down the hall is a 2nd king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The washer and dryer are also located on this level.
One level up you will find Gulf views from the moment to arrive. The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are full of spectacular views of the beach. This level also has a full bathroom.
The top floor bedroom has two elevated twin beds and a full size bed.

After a day of beach fun, rinse off in the convenient enclosed outdoor shower, then fire up the private charcoal grill to cook up your fresh catch of the day. Gather around the picnic table with family and friends to share your meal, and take in the ocean breeze as the sun sets over this coastal haven.

With shops, dining, ice cream, coffee, and outdoor courts just a short walk away, The Sandy Turtle offers the ultimate blend of seclusion and convenience, making it the ideal spot for your next St. George Island escape.

We had a wonderful stay at The Sandy Turtle! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches like doggie bags, dog bowls, wine and beer coolers, and a convenient outdoor shower.We especially loved the gated patio—perfect for our dogs to hang out safely without worrying about them running off to the beach. The enclosed loft turned bedroom was also a great use of space.We’ve been coming to St. George Island for over 20 years and have stayed in many row houses—this is definitely one of the best. Even though this was a short trip for us, we truly enjoyed it and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
