Great Dog Friendly Beach Trip
The house was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Nice location which also provided privacy. It was our first time to St. George Island. Being such a dog friendly Island was very fun! Only place I know where dogs were allowed on the beach and all were well behaved. The beaches were beautiful. My dog Ginger loved her first beach experience. Larry, Ginger, and I are going back in June. Yea! The property manager was extra nice and accommodating. Thank you!

Mommy and daughter spring break getaway
This is my daughter and I second year vacation at St. George Island. The papa shack was super cute and the exact size we needed for my daughter and I and our two little dogs. We had tons of privacy to make it feel like our own and it was just a quick walk to the beach. It was a ways down from the main portion of the island so if you wanted to go there, you needed to drive, but it wasn’t far at all. All the people on St. George are so friendly. The check-in process was seamless and the checkout process was super easy. I wish the weather was more cooperative, but a cold front was coming in, but definitely cannot control that. If it was warmer, we would’ve taken advantage of the outside a little more because it is so Covered I think we could’ve truly enjoyed the little lights outside more. Super cute would like to stay again.

Fantastic
I cannot say enough about this property. It is a perfect hideaway near the beach. Lots of privacy! The beds were comfortable. Very clean. The fire pit was a really nice festure and used every night as it was cool in the evenings. The beach is a close walk but we did rent a golf cart and it was fun. The house gives you the old beach bungalow vibe with modern amenities. Did not want to leave! Highly recommend this property!!

Restful Retreat
We had a great stay here during our visit to SGI. The house is private, tucked away in the trees and a very short walk to the beach. It’s a great place to just relax and rest in peace and quiet. We went for walks on the beach and also visited nearby Apalachicola, which offers downtown shopping and restaurants. The Piggly Wiggly on the island has basic necessities and a great meat counter for steaks and some seafood. We had a great time and would love to come back!

Awesome beach, relaxing town, great for dogs
We had a blast. Relaxing stay. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THERE. A quick jog right and then left opens up the driveway on Pine st. You are moments from the beach and its a straight shot. Wagon in the washroom is a nice touch. To hot to enjoy the fire pit for us, the private feel the location is nice. House was clean. It was two of us and a doggy. No issues, plenty of space, and really enjoyed the boardgames. Nice touch. Bed is comfy and clean. I like having a king...so that was good. A/C's worked good. Paddy's great food and fun, BJ's chicken bacon pizza AMAZING. Take a short ride to Apalachicola its a few minutes away and a fun day of shopping, eating, looking at historical buildings. We will be back.

Loved Papa Shack
We really enjoyed staying at Papa Shack for our vacation. It’s so cute! It was just a short walk to the beach, and near where the rest of our family was staying. We loved the privacy of the yard. The check in and out process was easy. We had everything we needed. Our only suggestion would be for the cleaning crew to be a little more thorough. We would love to stay here again.

Great place nestled in some beautiful coastal scrub, very private and quiet. Short walk to beach. We rented a golf cart which was fun and a great way to check out the environs. Very clean and all the amenities were there. Loved the place and was a perfect place for our four.

Perfect beach house!
We loved our stay at Papa Shack! The location was perfect - secluded, but close enough to the beach for quick access. The interior had everything we needed for two of us and our small beagle/boxer mix. The kitchen was well appointed with utensils and plates and cups. The couch is so comfy and perfect for afternoon naps. We will be back!

Dirty
This property was not clean even though you paying a cleaning fee. The bed sheets had not been changed. My daughter washed her sheets because she seen hair on the sheets. The dishwasher you could not use because the dishwasher door could not open completely because the refrigerator was to big and sticking out so far it blocked it from opening completely.

Privacy, convenience, clean.
Private oasis. Perfect for two adults and two dogs in December. Clean, white, uncluttered, in good repair with everything we needed. We appreciated empty kitchen cabinets and plenty of closet and dresser space. Loved being surrounded by green and sheltered from the wind. It's located a block off the main road, so only slow local traffic and very little foot traffic. You can hear the surf from the yard. Easy to walk or drive to one of the many beach access points. On really windy days we walked the sheltered bay side at low tide. Quick drive to Piggly Wiggly which is small but had everything we needed. The living room has been updated with a driftwood end table for the sofa and black out curtains for a bedroom window. The mini split hvac system kept us comfortable and ran quietly. Ground level was great for our dogs and our knees. Being off season we saw very few people on the beaches. Very enjoyable. Temps, for our stay, were 60s to low 70s. Loved the cabin and location for a quiet relaxing stay. Thank you for allowing dogs!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this sweet little spot with our pups. Sometimes it made us feel like we were in a different world when we cut the lights on outside by the fire pit. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect house!
Just checked out this morning after spending a week at this property with my boyfriend and our dog, Maverick. It was perfect. Big yard with outdoor seating under cute twinkle lights. The outdoor area in general is super nice with a grill on the deck and an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. The house itself was the perfect size for the 3 of us. Nice kitchen that looks to be recently remodeled and the whole place was very clean. The proximity to the beach was amazing. It’s probably a 5 minute walk (at the most). It became my favorite part of the day when we got to walk down to the beach with our dog. Quiet, relaxing week at SGI. We will definitely be back!
