Background About the Destination 

St. George Isl, Florida is known as a special place for vacation in Northwest Florida also known as Panhandle Fl. A long, thin barrier island, St. George Island is a serene and pet-friendly vacation spot. It is the heart of the Forgotten Coast and the island offers an authentic taste of Florida's Gulf Coast.

Come here and you’ll find miles of uncrowded pristine beaches, an endless supply of protected shallow bays, excellent fishing and acres of National and State forests to explore. Combine all this with some of the finest oysters and seafood in the country and your stay with us is sure to be perfect.

What's Special, for Families? 

The Palms Retreat is a beach house with a fantastic view of the Gulf and easy access to the beautiful white sand and private beaches. The beaches are never over crowd. The natural beauty that surrounds The Palms Retreat is difficult to describe. Enjoy watching the eksotik birds. In the evening watch the planets and stars. 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 (Bob Sikes Cut).
