The Palms Retreat is a vacation beach house located on St. George Island, approximately
80 miles southeast of Tallahassee, Florida and approximately 15 miles
from Apalachicola. The house is built in a private and 24 hour guarded
community, The Plantation that has made the preservation of the quality
and beauty of this unique area a priority. The Plantation has
extensive bike trails, a community pool, 3 tennis courts, and a rock
jetty (The Cut) famous for excellent fishing (flounders).
The Palms Retreat is a spacious beach house providing your family a fantastic view of the Gulf and easy access to the beautiful white sand and private beaches. It even won an architectural design award for its design and open floor plan.
Upstairs (the kitchen, living, dinning rooms, and two decks) provides a great place to enjoy a view of the gulf. The Bay side screened porch, also on the upper level, provides a great place to enjoy any evening while surrounded by tall pines and palm trees. The large kitchen is completely furnished with dishes, microwave, pans, utensils, coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc. You can enjoy the view of the Gulf while preparing your gourmet meal in the kitchen. The upstairs has its own full bath and laundry area with washer and dryer. The living room is equipped with cable TV/VCR, stereo, pull out sleeping sofa, and a love seat. The house has two separate living room areas, upstairs and downstairs,
each with a cable TV. It is a very nice features when you have big
family for vacation under one roof.
The downstairs has four large bedrooms (2 of which are masters), 2
baths, and the living area. Each bedroom is provided with a queen size
bed. Two of the bedrooms have cable TV, while one of the master bedroom
has a PC computer with Microsoft Office XP and DSL connection to the
Internet. Our guests have easy access to the pool and tennis courts provided by
the Plantations. We have several bikes, beach chairs and beach toys in
our storage. You are welcome to use them when you stay in our house.
The natural beauty that surrounds The Palms Retreat offers all sorts of
entertainment: Enjoy watching the birds during the day with binoculars.
We provide a handbook so that even the beginning bird watcher can learn
about birds. Also watch the planets and stars in the evening. An early
morning stroll at the beach is almost a guarantee to see dolphins put
on show for you in the Gulf. It.s not uncommon to see them swim up as
close as 150ft to the shore, and you will certainly be impressed by
their power. The sidewalks in the neighborhood offer a great
opportunity to jog, bike, roller blade, or walk. The island is also a
great place to catch up on your fishing, either from a boat or the
coast. We are located a 5min walk along the beach from the rocky canal
at the Northwest end of the island that is known as a prime fishing
spot.You can also visit St. George Island State Park, located on the other
side of the Island for deep-sea fishing, bicycle rides, and the natural
beauty of the island. Or, if you feel like taking on a bigger
adventure, rent a boat at one of the local places (or bring your own)
and make your way to the very near-by Little St. George island, an
uninhabited natural beauty, to collect sea shells on the white beaches
and watch herons, sea gulls, pelicans, sea turtles, and other animals
in an undisturbed environment. Take a night off the kitchen and visit
one of the great seafood restaurants, either on the island, or near by
Apalachicola and Eastpoint. Visit the beach shops on the island or in
Apalachicola and Eastpoint. Apalachicola, in particular, offers a great
assortment of shops for decorating your home, designer clothing,
fishing, nich-nacks, and much more. Don't wait any longer! Gather your family and friends, and head to The
Palms on St. George Island! We make sure that the Palms will exceed
your expectations for a spectacular beach retreat. If it's your first
visit with us, please make yourself at home. If you've been here
before, we're glad to have you back!!
