About this house rental

Lighthouse By The Sea

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sunshine yellow on the outside and light teal on the inside, this beautiful oceanfront home is special in many ways - not least because of its stargazing tower, perfect for enjoying the wonderful views of the Gulf by day and watching for shooting stars at night! You'll adore the ocean views from almost all rooms within the house, to say nothing of the decor that pays tribute to the ocean. This unbeatable gem has been recently renovated with all three bathrooms beautifully remodeled, a brand new ocean-facing main deck, and updated living room furniture and dining table. Refined decor comes to life in bright seaside colors, resulting in a cheerful Southern-chic look throughout the home. Tile floors and refinished hardwood floors mean that you'll feel the central air conditioning throughout your stay no matter what room you stay in. You'll be able to cook up something delicious inside the spacious kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a kitchen island - eat in the dining room or at the breakfast bar with enough seating for four. Better yet, take it out to the spacious and brand new (2022) sundeck furnished with new Adirondack chairs. Guests of the upper-level bedroom can enjoy views from a beach-facing deck all their own.

If you're looking to spend most of your time out by the beach (and why wouldn't you?), this home has the amenities you need to make it happen. Walk down to the beach on a small footpath. Rinse off the sand in an enclosed outdoor shower with both hot and cold water. Process your catch of the day at the fish cleaning station. The entire ground area shaded deck under the house has enough built-in seating for everyone to relax. The family dog is also welcome to join in on the beach fun at this home!

WHAT’S NEARBY
When you're ready to head out for delicious local food, Paddy's Raw Bar and Blue Parrot Ocean Front Cafe are both within one mile of the home. Take a visit to the St George Lighthouse museum less than a mile away and take in the view! St. George Island State Park is just seven miles away - electric mobility-assisted sand scooters are available so that everyone can enjoy the sand and surf. The charming town of Apalachicola is just a short drive away.

This is a good house on a great location. Overall we would definitely consider returning. The spot is about perfect and the view and access are wonderful. The house is showing its age, but repairs appear to be underway and nothing interfered with a great vacation. There are blinds, but the beach facing windows could really use them as well. This was noted both for privacy and to better fit with the lights off for turtles push. The master bedroom door also doesn't close right. The grill is very small, so it didn't meet our needs. But there were plenty of other options, and we didn't really notice. But the overall ability to just sit on the deck and then walk right down to the beach was perfect. And the house had everything we need. Looking forward to checking out this place in the future.

Home was very spacious and unique. However, it needs work. Cleanliness was just fine and everything needed in a rental was provided but property needs work to make it more “home” like and welcoming.

The photos were taken 15 years ago. This property has been abused and neglected. I should have read the reviews prior to booking, the local Vacasa staff was irresponsible and sometimes snotty. The kitchen is not adequately equipped. The dishes are chipped and the pans are rusty. There are no blinds. There is not an outdoor shower or even a slicker to wash you feet. The walkway is overgrown and full of stickers. Light switches come off in your hand, I had to request 2 service calls on appliances. There is not adequate lighting in the outdoor space. Do not plan to grill anything, bumecause the grill is not accessible. The kayak pictured is full of water and trash. Most property managers on the island offer a rental credit, but Vicasa does not. I have stayed in St George for 10 years, this is by far the worst I have ever stayed in.

Pros: Fantastic location with gorgeous, expansive views of the beach and ocean. Fabulous decks with plenty of seating. Spacious. Loved the bottom room for storage. Cons: Home is still in need of repairs after over a year of negative reviews. Needs window coverings in bedrooms and bathrooms (no window coverings anywhere). Kitchen supplies need updating and/or restocking. Unable to operate washer and unsuccessful in obtaining fresh towels during stay (to replace wet towels sitting in inoperable washer) although we were assured this would be handled. Overall, beautiful home with lots of potential but in serious need of attention.

We were notified 3 days before arrival that there was ongoing construction at the house. We were told we could stay elsewhere. But we were never given an option and no one could describe the construction. I called multiple times, emailed, texted. NO ANSWERS. No one would respond. No one would talk to me. We finally just went to the house. The location was awesome so we unloaded. But there were multiple issues. Ceiling construction was creepy and gross, several windows had no blinds, other blinds were broken, kitchen trash can broken, no bags for it, holes in the wall , washer didn’t work, front door lock didn’t work properly—we had to leave back door unlocked when we left to get back in, kitchen faucet didn’t turn off properly—had to jiggle it to get it to turn off, no hot water in one of the bathrooms, I texted VACASA. They said you can leave for a refund or we can move. But not options to move were ever given. VRBO & VACASA were unresponsive and unhelpful. I’m mad as hell, expect a refund and will never use either VRBO or VACASA again.

We enjoyed the time with our family but the stay in the home was disappointing. Not worth the price in my opinion. This place was very hazardous especially with kids. One of our children cut her toe on the buckled wood flooring and we were constantly tripping over the damaged flooring. Then the ceiling started caving/buckling in. Around the vents looked moldy and the microwave quit working but it looked old anyways but with a baby a microwave was a necessity. Overall I would not stay here again. We’re pretty simple people to make happy but this was just unexceptable. I even contacted Vacasa and sent photos and never even got a callback or follow up. I actually had to contact Vacasa the day we were leaving because I never heard anything. This was extremely hazardous and we didn’t feel like we got the appropriate care.

We loved our week in Lighthouse by the Sea! The location was amazing. Steps to the beach. A minute from the Lighthouse. My family loved it. The house had everything we needed. We would certainly rent it again.
