About this house rental
The East End neighborhood has that “Old Florida” vibe that Forgotten Coast visitors love, family-friendly atmosphere, and spectacular views of St. George Island’s award-winning beaches. The Salty Pickle is on the edge of the Gulf Beaches area -- 1.8 miles to local shops, markets, restaurants, nightlife, St. George Lighthouse Museum and playground, fishing pier, and just two and a half miles to the State Park. The charming shops, restaurants, galleries and historic attractions of Apalachicola are just 20 minutes away by car.
OUTSIDE:
Spend your days splashing in the waters of the private swimming pool (heated for a fee) or soak up the sun searching for seashells on the unspoiled Gulf beaches. The pool deck extends to underneath the house to provide a shady area to gather by the pool, and a nearby ping pong table and TV under the house provides entertainment between dips in the pool. Just outside the pool deck is a dedicated outdoor regulation cornhole court which is also great for bocce ball. And don’t forget to bring your paddles to take advantage of the full-size private pickleball court!
The enclosed outdoor shower (hot/cold), fish cleaning area, and park-style grill are perfect for beachgoers and boaters after a day on the water. Your dogs will love the large, fenced dog run, which features easy access directly from the deck stairs, as well as a ground level gate.

We had a family of 13 at The Pickle for the week of July 4th. What a perfect house, perfect bedroom set up for us, easy walk to the beach on private walk, and a pickle ball court that kept us sweating all week. We loved it!

We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Pickle! We had a large group and the house is well equipped for everything we needed. They communicated well for the couple of questions we had. The only thing to note is there are tons of steps on the walkway out to the beach, we used the public access walkway just to the west of the house to get our wagon of beach gear to the beach. But everything else was so amazing it really was not a big deal. The house is beautiful and we would love to go back!

The Salty Pickle is absolutely wonderful!!! You can tell the owners care about the property and its upkeep. It has a great layout with main living/kitchen on the top floor, with all bedrooms and another living area on the middle floor. It is worth mentioning that with the kitchen and main living on the top floor, there are a lot of stairs to climb. It didn't bother our family, but is something to note. We really enjoyed the pickle ball court, as well as all the other amenities provided. The owner, and rental company, provide pretty much everything you can think of, besides food! Gulf Coast was great to work with and quick to address one issue we ran into. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The outdoor living spaces are fantastic, with two of the levels having shaded lounge areas, which were a wonderful reprieve from the sun. We didn't bring any dogs with us, but appreciated that there weren't any lingering animal smells on any of the furniture. There is a gated dog run next to the house that would be quite useful if you plan on bringing your pup! The only critiques are that the bedrooms/bathrooms are on the small side (it didn't bother us much bc we basically just used them to sleep and shower, but of note if you're someone who hangs out in your room or plan to utilize a pack n play/bassinet for small children) and the walkway to the beach area is quite long and narrow (again, quite a few steps and difficult to carry larger items like a kayak to the beach). With that said, we all agreed we would NOT hesitate to rent the Salty Pickle again for our next visit to SGI!

The Salty Pickle is the ultimate Vacation Home! You can see the amenities which are many. We had 4 seniors, adult children and grandchildren and the house was perfect for all! We didn't have any problems, so didn't need to contact the management company, but I called a few times prior with questions, and they answered the phone on the lst ring and answered the questions promptly, being very familiar with the house. The house and outside areas, were sparkling clean upon arrival! We thank you for a great experience!

Many reviewers have already commented on how nice the home is, that is, solid furniture, comfortable beds, attractive decor, well equipped kitchen, a plethora of recreational equipment (all in great shape) and so on. I agree with all of that (overall it is exceptionally done) but what I appreciated as much is the layout. We spend time at the beach with family at least once a year. Generally there are 8-10 of us. We have rented several homes with 4 or 5 bedrooms that meet our “sleeping needs”. But what is different and special about the Salty Pickle is the layout. There are several places where everyone can get together in one big group or break up into smaller groups. For example, the teens don’t want to sit around at night with their parents and grandparents so having space where they can congregate separately is really nice. The decks are quite large with ample comfortable seating and there are three directly connected to the house and one downstairs in the recreational area. If you are coming with a crowd, just rent it. You won’t regret your choice. And our experience with Gulf Coast Properties was equally satisfying.

There’s not enough room to describe how wonderful our trip was. It was a two week stay, and still was so hard to leave. The Salty Pickle is about halfway between the island entrance and the state park, but we were so busy with the hot tub, pool, ping pong, pickle ball - yes, the only pickle ball court on the island, and it was all ours! The elevator was perfect for those who couldn’t handle the steps, and of course the kitchen was amazing with anything you would need (but the food)- two refrigerators, two stoves, and two dishwashers, and an ice maker on the first floor. We rode bikes and even though we weren’t directly on the beach, we had the perfect view from the kitchen and the hot tub, to watch the sunset! Our only issue was that the pool was loosing water and had to be filled several times. We were extremely impressed with the generous ‘welcome bag’ from the management. Thanks for that and for being very helpful and polite with our calls and requests both before and after our arrival. GCVP is the one to call for The Salty Pickle on your next trip to SGI. Can’t wait to see you again next year!

Such a beautiful home for a multi-family getaway! The house was fully stocked with all of our needs, from all the pool/beach toys you could ever need, everything to create delicious meals, to all the fun with the ping pong table, pickle ball court and cornhole. The pool was a huge hit with the kids and the adults loved the screened in porch. You cannot go wrong with this house! Thanks for an amazing first time at St. George Island!

We had a great time at this house! It's beautiful inside and out. We loved the short walk to the beach and having a fenced in area for the pups. We also loved the upstairs part of this house, both inside and on the porch. It was great to be able to see and hear the ocean. This was one of our favorite rentals ever. Great house, great location, great views! Can't wait to come back!
