Visit The Stork Nest for your relaxing beach vacation!

A sweeping stairway takes you to the main level of this thoughtfully furnished beach retreat. The large, covered deck space is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the Gulf. Ocean views and the soothing sound of the sea lull your senses as you relax into the comfortable outdoor seating.

When you’re not at the beach, you can enjoy a family movie on the large, flat screen TV with Blu-ray player or lounge comfortably with a book or indulge in a board game or puzzle. The restful and beautifully furnished living room shares a gas fireplace with the dining space that seats up to 6, and the bright and airy kitchen offers additional seating at the breakfast bar. Our well-equipped kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances has room for multiple cooks and one can easily access the covered deck from here. Panoramic window views of the Gulf greet you in every room of this shared living space.

A split bedroom floor plan allows for the utmost of privacy and relaxation in the evenings. The master bedroom is located just off of the living room and boasts a King-sized four-poster bed with swivel rocker, flat screen TV, a private bathroom and access to a screened porch. The spacious master bath has a vanity space, large walk-in closet, soaker bathtub and separate tiled shower. The screened porch overlooks the driveway and pool area, and is a great spot for an outdoor card game or meal or to watch the colors of the changing sky at sunset.

On the opposite end of the home is a private Queen bedroom with view of the pool area, hall bathroom with combination tub/shower and laundry room with front-loading, full size washer and dryer.

A ground level bonus room offers a studio layout or “mother-in-law suite” with an additional living space with TV and Bluray player and half bath. This area has a private entrance and ground level deck space, there is no interior stairwell connecting this room with the upstairs of the home. Sleeping accommodations include a King sized bed and Queen sleeper sofa. A convenient morning kitchen offers plenty of counter space, mini-fridge, microwave, double sink and standard coffee maker. The full bath is located just off of the kitchen space and is accessible from the pool area as well. This is a great room for teenagers who need their own space!

Enjoy your own private swimming pool with ample deck and lounge space and hot/cold outdoor shower. The pool deck area offers a propane grill, with an additional park-style charcoal grill at the entrance of the home. A fish cleaning table is available just outside of the pool deck.

Situated on a corner lot, beach access via a community beach boardwalk is just a short and easy stroll from the property. Our home is also located just across from the paved bike path, for easy access to the Island center. We are also located about 3 blocks from the public East Hole access to the Apalachicola Bay. This is a great place to walk the dogs and explore the bayside of the Island.

We look forward to hosting your family during your next beach getaway. Come and see why The Stork Nest delivers!

Please note, the outdoor lift is not available to guests.

Beds: 2 Kings, 1 Queen, 1 Queen sleeper sofa

Beautiful house with great location
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our annual family vacation! We’ve been coming to St. George Island for 26 years now and this house is easily one of our favorites. The house is located with easy access to the beach and the pool area is like a private oasis for when the beach gets too crowded or hot. The house is decorated beautifully on both levels and it is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We look forward to staying here again!

Wonderful House
Everything matched the description. It was a wonderful house in every respect. Super clean, great master bed, well equipped kitchen, big master bath. The in-law apartment came in handy as a part time office while I worked a few hours a day upstairs in the main house. The location, 200 yards from the beach, in the middle of the island, was ideal. I would highly recommend.

The Stork Nest
It was a great house that met all our needs. The walk to beach was an easy one that even the two year old could walk. Loved the large porch and that it had gates. Also enjoyed eating on the screened portion of the porch. The house was well stocked with dishes, cooking items, gadgets etc. Nice appliances. Beds we’re comfortable. Furniture was all nice and well made. we loved the pool and deck area. Beautiful and inviting. We were glad there wasn’t any way to the pool except from the front of house. That way didn’t have to worry about a little child sneaking out the back and going by themself. If the pool is ever drained would be helpful to put nonskid strips on steps. My husband slipped getting into pool and cracked his fibula and severely sprained his ankle. Ended up on crutches for a week and confined to house.😞 Having the extra fridge close to the outside apartment came in handy for ice and drinks. The only suggestions I have: 1. Providing a small tool kit 2. Providing two trash bags for each week stayed We were there 3 weeks. 3. Maybe add a chair to left of fireplace for more seating for 8 people. Had a wonderful time in your great home. Was our first trip to St. George Island.

A very nice place
We enjoyed our 3 weeks at the Storks Nest. Owners are friendly and the management company was very responsive (the wifi dropped once during our stay but they got it up again within an hour). There are a few repairs needed that they will be addressing but nothing that impacted our great stay.

Best Vacation Ever
This property exceeded all of our expectations! The screened in porch was great for spending time outdoors in the evening without worrying about mosquitos. The fenced in pool was perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. There was plenty of room for 6 adults to spread out and have their own space but also plenty of common space for everyone to be together. The location is just a short walk to the beach and close to town. We rented a golf cart and used it to get to the grocery, shops, and restaurants on the island as well as hauling our free beach gear to the beach. We hope to make it back again in the future!

Beautiful home with a GREAT location!
This home is beautifully decorated and really made me feel like I was in a home that was loved and well taken care of. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need and more. My mother-in-law and I also enjoyed reading the books in the home. It has tons of books! In addition, my family and I really enjoyed the bicycles that we rented through the gift voucher. However, I could only give the property three stars. Upon our arrival, we realized that the ice maker wasn't working property. The property management company was quick to get out to check it out but they could not fix it. I was told that they would schedule an appliance repair person and that they would keep me in the loop as to when they would arrive but I never heard from them again and no one ever came, so we had to buy ice for the week. We also struggled with the layout a little. The listing and the pictures are very clear but I didn't think about the pool being in the back and the only stairs being in the front of the house. We love to hang out with family and grill out by the pool but it is just not convenient to do that. The stairs at the front of the home are the only stairs and this made getting everything from the kitchen to the pool area inconvenient. And without rearranging their furniture (which we didn't do), there is no way to sit on the porch and watch the kids playing in the pool, so it made it hard for some sun sensitive family members to join in on the fun. The washing machine has not been cleaned in a very long time and smelled very bad. I was very hesitant to wash our clothes in the machine but did. Clothes came out clean but had a slight musty smell. Lastly, the TVs are terrible. The TV in the living room has a huge yellow square in the middle of the screen and the other TVs are very little. We don't really come to the beach to watch TV but wanted to give an honest review. Overall, the house was beautiful and the location was wonderful; it was just not laid out well for our needs.

A wonderful spring break
We had a great time. The house was perfect, a very short distance to the beach access across the round and about 1.5 miles to the shops/restaurants on a flat cycle path. When we booked it said there was no shower in the downstairs unit but there is a beautiful shower there now which was a happy discovery! The house has everything you could ever need. The pool was the perfect size for our 2 young kids to splash around in and was lovely and clean although a little cold for me!! It is perfect for pets as the back yard is completely fenced and the front porch has a gate on it so the dog could enjoy the sea breeze too. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone!

We loved the Stork Nest! The house was beautifully decorated, very clean, and well stocked kitchen. The upstairs “porch/deck was perfect for coffee, ocean views with the sound of the ocean. Little cool so didn’t use pool but very nice to sit around it, while grilling, or enjoying yard. Nice having beach accessories and bikes delivered and beach access right across street. We liked the location for walking into town, and to nature preserves, as well as close to bayside and gulfside. Also apartment was so cute and nice to have downstairs. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was very nice - very well equipped. . Really only a couple suggestions for owners: 1) update TVs to all streaming or smart TVs. We wanted to watch with our YouTube subscription in the evening & was unable to. With kids it would have been nice to watch Disney & we wanted to watch some shows we like. 2) It would have been nice if pool was heated. Other than that we had a great time!
