Studio Sea: Affordable, Private Pool, 1 Block to Beach, Pets Welcome, Sleeps 10

Just a short walk to the beach, Studio Sea is a renovated, four-bedroom Florida beach cottage. A king bedroom and a twin bedroom are on the upper level. A large king bedroom and XL-twin over queen bunk bedroom, and bath are on the lower level with a separate entrance, making it perfect for two families or couples. These two floors are connected via an exterior staircase.

Cool off in the pool, worship the sun from the third floor deck, or sit on the porch with family and friends. Let the morning greet you in the sunny living area, which includes an open concept kitchen, dining and living space.

Recently a dining space was added on the third floor deck. Dine under the stars and by fairy light.

Like much of St. George Island, Studio Sea is pet friendly.

During the day take advantage of all available activities on St. George Island or shop in Apalachicola. "Dr. Beach" rates the beaches of St. George Island as one of the top five beaches in the United States. In the evening, have dinner at one of the many restaurants on the island and in Apalachicola, where you will find some of the best seafood in the United States.

Bring your bike or rent one on the island. Studio Sea is right across the street from the island bike path. The cottage is just a short bike ride to shops, markets, restaurants and fresh seafood.

Great fishing is available from the beach, the pier, or at the beautiful state park on the east end of the Island. A number of fishing charters are available in the area; ask about our favorite charter captain.

Amazing!

Studio by the Sea was the perfect place for our family. This was our first time visiting St. George’s Island and we are now looking forward to many more trips in the future. Beach just a short walk away, our kids loved the pool, & star gazing on the top deck was fantastic! Thanks David for sharing your home!

Great location

Short (1) block walk to the beach! Was nice to have plenty of room on the beach without the crowds. Good local donuts & pizza. We typically go to Destin or Gulf Shores so it was nice to have a vacation without the traffic & crowds! Grandkids enjoyed the pool as well.

Perfect House/Perfect Host

This is the second time my family and I have stayed at Studio Sea. We love it so much, we’ve already booked again for next year. The property is well kept, nicely furnished and clean. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The host, David Mann, is just a moments call away and is super responsive and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome.

Perfect location for an Island Getaway

Loved the cottage, pool, location and amenities of this home away from home. From the time we arrived the peaceful feel was amazing. Across the street one block is a boardwalk that is direct beach access. Great food and live music witnin a mile or so and the Island has so much to offer! Historical Apalachicola is 10 minutes away. Perfect! Thank you for sharing your beach home.

Perfect Location; Perfect House

Our stay at Studio Sea was perfect! The house was just as described. It was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. My husband and I were traveling with my brother-in-law, and having the "apartment" on the ground floor was good for us. The house had everything we could have possibly needed with a fully stocked kitchen; plenty of dishes, glasses, pots, and pans. There are also lots of games and puzzles if you have any rainy days. We only had one. The pool is awesome! I spent a lot of time in and around it. There is always a sunny spot! The porch and rooftop deck are the perfect places to relax and enjoy listening to the birds sing and the waves smack the sand. The house is located a block (and 2 roads) away from the beach at an access point with no steps (I know this is important if you are taking a cart to the beach). David, the owner, is very easy to work with and is very attentive to anything you might need or if you have any questions. We really enjoyed our week at Studio Sea and hope to return in the future!

Beautiful location

This was such a lovely and spacious beach residence. It is a short walk to the beach where the sand is so soft & white. Your 4-legged furry friends are welcome and ours absolutely loved her first experience with waves. The home is really nice and offers all the comforts of home as well as a private swimming pool. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone you pass on the road is friendly. We will be back!!!

Close to the beach

Everything was as expected. The recent storm did leave the pool and pool area in need of cleaning which was taken cleaned up. Loved the open floor plan. Most important was the closeness to the beach. That was all that matter to the kids.

Best location

This has been my family's 4th year coming to Saint George Island and to this house. It is absolutely perfect for a family of 5 and 2 dogs. The house is clean David is very responsive. Are Ac went out when we got there (one of the hottest days saint george has seen in a while) and David was right on it and got it fixed very quickly. One thing i love is that the house is 1 block from the beach. We will definitely be back again next year. Thank you again David for letting us rent your beach house for the week!!

Great Property on a quiet beach

This was our first time on St. George Island and this house was in a perfect spot. A 5-minute walk to the beach or you can park your car at the beach. It is right at the beach access. My wife and I came down with our 3 teenagers, 2 dogs, and 2 of their friends and had plenty of room. Our two girls and their friends enjoyed staying in the downstairs area, staying up late, and watching movies. We enjoyed the porch in the mornings and sitting by the private pool. David is great to work with and if I had questions he was quick with a response. We will definitely be back.

Peaceful Getaway

Our first trip to the island & we are hooked. Beach Baby was the perfect location for us. The beach is an easy walk out the front door, out the back door to the wooded preserve on the bay. Our dogs were safe between the screened porch & gated back deck. The accommodations were very comfortable & very clean! The outside may look worn, but the inside is updated & beautifully decorated. Bedding, towels, furnishings, everything seemed new & fresh. Kitchen is well stocked with new dishes, pots, pans, dish soap, etc. Owner provided all the essentials for visitors. We will be returning, already looking at a much longer stay due to our great experience.

The pool was a lifesaver!

The property was great, located about a block from the beach. It had everything we needed to get through the week. Sadly, it was very rainy all week with red and double red flag warnings so swimming in the gulf was limited. We were at the house often and throughly enjoyed the pool, puzzles and games. David is an exceptional host and responded quickly to any questions we had. It was also so convenient to be able to park our family member’s boat there on the property with plenty of hose to rinse it off after a day out. Thank you, David, for use of your home for a fantastic week (despite the weather working against us)!!
