About this house rental

🐟 Fishin’ Tradition — Your Waterfront Escape! Fishin’ Tradition is truly a one-of-a-kind waterfront home, with a rare bonus feature that could be a game-changer for the boaters and fishermen in your group -- your own private boat launch, right in the backyard.

Bring the boat, jet ski, kayak, paddleboard, canoe, or tubes and enjoy direct access to the bay, just steps away. Come and go as you please, tie up between adventures, and leave your boat in the water overnight if you’d like. This is coastal living done right.





Located on a deep-water canal on the west end of the island at 788 West Bayshore Drive, this home is:

Minutes from Sikes Cut and the island bridge — two local honey holes!

Just 8 short blocks to town

An easy 5-minute walk to the beach

🏡 Space for Everyone (and everything!)

This spacious home offers four private master suites, each with its own full bathroom, shower and private access, all on the first flight.

3 King bedrooms

1 Bunk room with four twin beds

1 Queen sleeper sofa (upstairs)

5 Bathrooms

Every bedroom opens to a deck overlooking the bay / canal or the sparkling pool below — perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.

FREE WiFi, cable, and Roku Smart TVs in every bedroom + Vizio smart TV in the living room.

🍽️ Gather, Relax & Make Memories

The open-concept top floor features a fully stocked kitchen and relaxing living area — ideal for gathering, sharing meals, and swapping fish stories.





Natural light fills the space, and dolphin and manatee are often seen frolicking in the canal below. Enjoy the morning sunrise peeking over the horizon from one balcony, and watch the sunset paint the sky from another.





Keyless entry on the first landing makes arrival easy — no keys to juggle, share or lose. The property is very safe, surrounded by nature on every side, with a lot between the home and the closest (part-time) local resident.





⚓ Outdoor Living at Its Best

Outside you’ll enjoy:

More privacy than typical island properties

A dock spanning the length of the property

Private boat ramp on deep water canal

Enough parking for two RVs, boat trailers, a bounce house and a small circus act

Covered parking under the house to accommodate 3 large SUV's

Two large picnic tables on the covered breezeway

Fish-cleaning table on the dock, with two sinks and water faucet with hose

Gas grill and charcoal grill

Plenty of space to relax, grill, and enjoy island time

Lots of open space around the property for fur babies to play catch and run like the wind, away from crowds, as free as they'll ever be... and with limited traffic.

🌴 Locally Owned. Deeply Rooted.

Fishin’ Tradition is owned by a local mother-daughter duo whose family roots on St. George Island date back to the 1800's, with seven generations born and raised right here. Hosting guests has been a family tradition for decades, and we’re excited to continue it with this special home.





Whether you’re here to fish, boat, beach, or simply slow down and soak in the island vibe, we’re honored to host you.





🎣 Book your memories at Fishin’ Tradition — where the fish bite, the stories flow, and the traditions continue.





⛵ FLOAT PLAN: ADDITIONAL INFO FOR BOATERS: BRINGING YOUR BOAT? This canal is the most protected channel, so leaving your boat in the water all week is no problem.

LOCATION: End of the canal, with little boat traffic, if any.

MOORING WHIPS: Tidal changes are not an issue.

BOAT SIZE: Several fishing guides with offshore vessels in the 25-32' range also depart from a connecting canal on lower tides.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: Your host is also a fishing guide and can assist with navigating tidal schedules.

RAMP SIZE: The ramp is wide enough to accommodate boats at least 9'+ wide, with dock space for two to three 25-30+ foot vessels.

Very nice home; beautifully and tastefully decorated! Nice comfy beds, refreshing swimming pool. Dock needs some repairs, but we had fun fishing off of it! Having 5 bathrooms was amazing! Wonderful family dinners and game times around the large dining table! Loved our vacation!

We arrived after 5pm check in. Hosts were still there cleaning so the 8 of us unloaded and waited. Awkward. 3 large wet dogs bounded from the canal and Jumped all over us and onto the picnic tables that we ended up not using because of that. when we finally went inthe house dogswent in and one pooped on a rug in one of the bedrooms, and the other two wrestled on the king bed covers. The host stripped the bed and took the soiled rug and said she would return with clean linens and bedspread. It was after 9 o’clock before she came back. The house itself was fair. Rickety railings. There were no batteries in the front door lock so we couldn’t use that door. We had to get the code set for the other door after she came back with the linens. There were no kitchen towels or cloths or towels for the upstairs bathroom . But the four bedrooms with each having their own private bathroom is What sold us. The island is great and we had a blast. But I would never rent this house again. I hate giving bad reviews, but it is what it is. We haven’t been offered any discount for the fiasco.
