Update: $72,190 in gross rental on the books for 2026 as of 07/12/26. Welcome to island living at its finest. This beautifully renovated and fully furnished 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath Mediterranean retreat is tucked inside the gated community of St. George Island Plantation, just a short stroll from the sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf waters. With room to sleep 14, the home offers two spacious living areas perfect for gathering after long beach days, an open top-floor deck made for sunset skies, and a screened porch where you can relax and catch the coastal breeze. Inside, light-filled spaces blend comfort and coastal sophistication. Refinished hardwood floors, granite countertops, modern fixtures, updated hardware, polished metal railings, and refreshed bathroom lighting create a clean, elevated look that still feels relaxed and inviting. Thoughtful upgrades bring both efficiency and peace of mind. Solar panels installed in 2023 power the entire home—including the electric water heater—leaving only a minimal $30 monthly connection fee. A new water heater and a new aerobic septic system were also added, while hurricane shutters provide added protection and potential insurance savings. Step outside to your private pool, complete with a heater/chiller system for year-round enjoyment. New aluminum safety gates, a golf cart garage, and generous storage make beach days simple and stress-free. Located just 1,000 feet from the shoreline, owners enjoy all the amenities of St. George Island Plantation, including 24-hour gated security, two community pools, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, scenic bike paths, and even a 3,300-foot private airstrip.
