Welcome to Hook, Wine N Sinker!
This thoughtfully designed ground level, 2BR/2BA Bayfront cottage sits on 2.45 acres surrounded by natural foliage and the Apalachicola Bay. Located in Eastpoint, you’ll be just minutes from the white sand beaches of SGI and only a short drive to downtown Apalachicola for shopping and dining. For any avid fishermen, ‘Hook, Wine N Sinker’ is only a 1-minute car ride to the Eastpoint fishing pier and the nearest public boat launch is just 1 mile from the property!
Begin your stay by entering into the family room which offers plenty of shared living space. You'll find the living room comfortably furnished with double recliner and a Queen sleeper sofa for alternate sleeping accommodations, a 65” Smart TV and a Blu-ray player. We’ve got you covered for any rainy days, with plenty of board games, books and movies for a relaxing day at home. Sorry, the fireplace is not available.
The well-equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare your fresh catch of the day and has a bonus crockpot and electric skillet. The dining table seats 6 with additional seating for 3 at the large kitchen island. French doors in this space open onto the furnished screened-in veranda overlooking the hot tub and private pond with bridge.
The spacious Master bedroom has a King bed, Smart TV and Blu-ray player, a separate work desk and French doors that open onto the screened-in veranda. The en-suite bathroom has a separate vanity area with plenty of counter space and a tiled shower.

Just beyond the house, the garage has been converted into a game room w/ 2nd refrigerator and microwave, darts, corn-hole, ping pong and many other games to choose from. The full-size washer/dryer can also be found here.
An excellent spot for birdwatching, head toward the bridge that overlooks your private pond. On the other side of the bridge is plenty of space to explore the surrounding marsh land and to watch the many water birds in flight. For the adventurous, take the path less traveled across our pontoon boats and head out to the bayfront beach to explore!
Relax on the hammock, soak in the bubbling hot tub, or enjoy an evening under the stars around the wood-burning fire pit. Additional outdoor conveniences and extras include a porch swing, fish cleaning sink, and an abundance of citrus fruit trees that line one end of the driveway.
And don’t forget your four-legged family! We allow up to 2 well behaved dogs with advance approval for an additional fee, please inquire.

We loved our stay at Hook, Wine and Sinker. We are already planning our next visit. From the moment we walked in the door and found our wonderful welcome gift to when we had to leave, everything was perfect. The bike rental was also a huge plus. And it was convenient! Had the rental not been included, it’s something we may have never tried. But we did and had the best time biking. It brought back childhood memories for me and my adult daughter. We highly recommend. All the amenities were as described and so much more!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Hook wine and sinker! Short drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants! Fresh seafood within minutes from property to prepare at the home. Very quiet neighborhood! We all enjoyed evenings of playing games, swinging under the trees and watching for wildlife! Would definitely recommend!

We loved everything about our stay here. It’s the perfect location exactly halfway between Appalachacola and St George Island. Home is clean and has all the amenities you would want for a vacation stay. We will definitely stay here again on our trips back to SGI.

We were so impressed with Hook, Wine, N Sinker. The house was beautiful inside and loved sitting on the screened in back porch every morning enjoying all the nature and view of the bay. The owners provided their guests with a detailed binder to popular attractions, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It was the little things that they did, that made it so nice! The house was very clean and everything that you need for a week long stay which makes for light traveling and an easy trip. This property offers a $250 credit toward beach gear to use during your time there which was awesome so that we did not have to bring our own beach chairs and umbrella. While at St. George Island we enjoyed the beach, State Park, and the various shops and attractions on the Island. Definitely would recommend this property for a family atmosphere and would be interested in future stays at this property and St. George Island.

The house was great. Beautiful property, quiet, close to St George Island and Apalachicola. The only down side I could find was that there was no washer/dryer.

We loved everything about this VRBO. Amenities were perfect, we were provided with every comfort of our own home. We were looking for something away from the crowds and noise and this place did not disappoint. The serene view from the back porch is worth every penny along with the convenience of St George and Apalachicola so close by. Thank you!

We were pleasantly surprised with this house. We are usually staying in the island, but decided to try Eastpoint. So glad we did! The house was super cute, not overly huge and barren, like some places we stay. It was quaint, cute decor, and the perfect size for us and our friends. The home owner did an excellent job with labeling lights, and the amenities were phenomenal. The property was great, with a pond (and river otters!). We see a few bears, but the bears kept their distance, as we did also. A nice little walk to the private beach in the bay. Great sunsets. And still super close to stores and restaurants. Great vacation in the perfect house.

This place exceeded my expectations! It was so beautiful with lots of wildlife. We saw otters, all kinds of birds, and bears. The owners have made a little pathway to the shoreline. Take some crocs or boots because it is a little wet getting out there but totally worth the effort! The home is nicely furnished and decorated to provide an upscale but comfortable experience. The beds were all comfortable, even the twin bunk beds have comfortable mattresses. The pillows were nice and the linens were soft. I have food allergies, so cooking on vacation is a must and I found everything I needed in the kitchen to make delicious meals! The house was super clean and smelled really fresh. I made a note of the air filter they are using. Even after we cooked seafood, by the next day the smell was gone. It was quick and easy to get to St. George Island from this location as well as other local attractions. In the evenings the sunsets were spectacular! We were able to bring our doodles and the girls really enjoyed their stay too! The owners have created a wonderful indoor and outdoor space to enjoy the best the Forgotten Coast has to offer! If you want to be immersed in a true Florida living experience, this is the place to stay!

Wow. Just book this place now!! It’s absolutely stunning, a slice of Heaven on earth! Extremely well equipped (we cooked a full Thanksgiving feast), tons a space, very comfortable beds, wonderful shower pressure, the views are unreal! Access to the bay on the property, incredible sunsets, 6 min to St George and 8-9 min to Apalach. We saw bears every evening and a bunch of other critters. They ran fast when they saw us and didn’t cause any issues with our dogs. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

This was the perfect place to just go and relax. The view was great, with lots of wildlife. We enjoyed the hot tube and game room. The house had everything we needed and so much more. We ventured out to St. George Island, Apalachicola, and Cape San Blas. Thank you for letting us bring our pups and we hope to be back soon!

It was a pleasant surprise to see how spacious the house was for our family. The owners were very accommodating with providing a book of things to do and places to eat on the island. it is a beautiful area to vacation. We hope to be able to return next year.

What a great place to relax and unwind after a day at the beach or exploring the near by towns. We even drove over to Panama City Beach for the day and had a nice, quiet place to come back to.

We absolutely loved staying at Hook, Wine, N Sinker! It is a very unique location since it is adjacent to a natural reserve. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching wildlife, which included small alligators, several raccoons, gray foxes, and a variety of birds. The house itself was clean, stylish, and comfortable. The amenities made the trip extra enjoyable. If we visit this area of Florida again, we will definitely rent this property. It helped provide us with a very relaxing vacation in a get-away-from-it-all location.

First of all I do not have enough words to compliment and describe how nice and accomodating the Forgotten Shores staff are. Thankyou again Lindsey and Jamie yalls help with the tv! as I said we are two very techno challenged seniors...the property was extremely comfortable and clean...I mean really clean! The setting is beautiful. I especially enjoyed the bird chorus every morning. Convienent location beach, gas, groceries or roads to any direction for exploration of this unique area of Florida. I urge any body reading this to come and soak up some of this Forgotten Coast and “Old Florida” thanks again for everything!

The house was very clean and updated with everything you would need (except for the groceries…lolol) Beautiful scenery and the location was great. We could see the bay from the deck. Beautiful sunrise every morning.
Glad we read the sign by the bridge in backyard over the canal..be aware of wildlife and please don’t feed them.
We saw a bear, up close and an alligator in the canal, beautiful eagle, owl, raccoons, squirrels and a couple of foxes. Awesome, but a little scary when the bear came to the driveway in front of the house, of course we probably scared him too because he ran off quickly.
All of the people in the town were really friendly.
