About

FREE Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!

‘Sea2Ski’ is under new ownership as of March 2023 and has received a facelift! This 4BR/3.5BA family-friendly vacation home is the perfect place for your next family vacation.

Freshly painted walls in soothing hues and updated laminate flooring throughout will welcome guests with a cool, coastal vibe. Special attention was given to updating electrical, lighting and outdoor spaces to enhance your time spent outside. A whole-house water filtration system has recently been added for safe and fresh drinking water and soft water for bathing and washing (Dec 2024).

The first living level finds you in an open dining and living space with high ceilings and abundant natural light. The living area offers fresh white walls, a large Smart TV and access to the covered deck with patio lighting and lounge seating to extend the living space outdoors! Sorry, the fireplace is not available. A second sitting area beside the dining space is an ideal place for conversation or to relax with a good book. The dining table seats up to 6 (8) and a wet bar with sink is just beyond the dining room along with the laundry room w/ a convenient ½ bath.

Preparing local seafood fare will be a breeze in this updated kitchen, supplied with brand new stainless steel appliances, dinnerware, flatware and drinkware. With plenty of counter space and a separate island, the entire family can work alongside each other for every meal. Cabinet space is available for pantry storage for your stay. The ultimate in convenience, both a 12 cup standard coffee maker and single cup coffee maker are available!

Just past the living room is a spacious master bedroom with a private bathroom. This bright space with plenty of natural light boasts a comfortable King size bed with new mattress, 2 closets, a large, flat screen TV and access to the covered deck. An adjoining bathroom finishes this private space with double sinks, a large garden tub (jets not available) and separate shower.

Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a hallway overlooking the main living space. The first of these bedrooms has a King bed with new mattress, flat screen TV and private bathroom with shower. A second bedroom with a trundle bed (2 twins) has access to a jack-n-jill bathroom w/ bathtub. The third bedroom with Queen bed and new mattress, has a flat screen TV and access to a private sundeck with stairs to the lower level, a perfect place for counting stars or lounging in the sun.

Shaded parking is available and a separate "chill space" with TV and lounging is a great place to relax when coming in off the beach or while grilling on the park-style charcoal grill. The main entrance in the carport gives easy access inside the home while staying covered on any rainy days. Also located in the carport are a picnic table, fish cleaning table and sink as well as a hot and cold enclosed outdoor shower updated with new fixtures.

A convenient beach path is located just steps from the home and leads to a community beach boardwalk. Just a short 4 ½ minute stroll along the nature path finds you with your toes in the sugar white sand! An alternative route is available along the paved residential street of Azalea Drive. And, as a guest inside St. George Plantation, you may enjoy access to two community pools, clubhouse and tennis and pickle ball courts!

Surrounded by local vegetation and located on a large corner lot inside St. George Plantation, this area on Azalea Drive is largely unbuilt which means few homes and quiet streets, a perfect location for families that enjoy privacy on their vacation.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family for your next beach vacation!

Beds: 2 Kings, 1 Queens, 2 Twins

This was our first visit to SGI and we would love to return! Sea2Ski was beautiful home. A few more updates would be good (kitchen, bathrooms), but overall quite nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were very comfortable! The house was clean. The house feels private & secluded, separated from neighbors by vegetation. It is about a 5 minute walk (depending how fast you can walk) to the beach by sandy path or road. Either way, watch your step. We saw 3 snakes. We visited in July and there was one family to either side of us on the beach all week! Went to one of the 2 pools and had it to ourselves for a couple of hours one morning! We would definitely stay here again. SGI now has a piece of our hearts!!

Manager's Response

Thank you, Anna! So glad you're an avid fan of the Plantation! Assuming you're rating of location has to do with our distance from the beach, we'll be happy to assist you in locating a property closer to the Gulf, but we would like to point out that 'Sea2Ski' is a great deal for the short distance and quick beach walk! As a reminder, your reservation includes a complimentary beach gear credit to use toward renting beach gear items, like beach chairs, as you desire. We do not provide beach gear on site, so be sure to read your check-in information material and prepare for your trip accordingly. By "roach", we're assuming this may have been a palmetto bug which are plentiful in Florida, particularly inside the Plantation due to the heavy vegetation, as we have not seen nor heard reports from other guests that the smaller, more pesky inside roaches are being found inside the home. Thank you for the heads up and for the recommendation of additional blinds! We do enjoy that natural lighting in the main living areas :)

We really enjoyed the upgrades the new owners made to this property as this was our 2nd time staying in this house (i.e. floors, appliances, and furniture). The only small issues were lack of skillets for cooking and the TV in the upstairs bedroom (double bed) did not connect to the internet and was unusable. Otherwise, the additional beach towels, outdoor shower, and grill were really nice extras and highly recommend this house to anyone who enjoy additional amenities like two community pools, fitness center, pickle ball/tennis courts!

We had am amazing time at Sea2Ski. The new updates were incredible! We had five, including three college-age children and still had plenty of space. It was a easy walk to the beach and there was always space available, which was a nice contrast to the public beaches at SGI. The property managers were great to work with and went above and beyond to see that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back.

Thanks to a new rental company on the island who made our former favorite house no longer affordable, we've found an even better favorite! This house is well decorated, has everything you need (maybe add a plastic pitcher or two), and CLEAN! I've never re-booked our vacation this early, but I intend to do just that because the house is just fabulous! Thank you1

We had a wonderful time at the beach house and staying at the plantation! The house was very clean, spacious and beautiful; and the area was very quiet, peaceful, safe and such natural beauty! Very short walk to the beach through a unique, very natural beach path. My grandkids thought they were on a beach adventure path! The Forgotten Shores management staff were always very helpful, kind and quick to answer our questions. I would highly suggest Cotton Candy Beach House to anyone!

The plantation has bike paths everywhere which were so nice, we bikes everyday. House was very clean and welcoming. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend cotton candy and staying on the plantation.

Didn’t expect to hike through the woods to the beach. Exterior stairs need some repairs. A rope to haul everything up the stairs would have come in handy.

This was our first time to visit St. George Island and we will be back. The island was perfect for our whole family, children and grandchildren. We loved staying at Cotton Candy. It was clean, easy to find and only a short walk to the beach. This trip, we have little ones with us and we didn't want to be right on the beach. The wildlife was abundant. Jamie, the property manager was so gracious when we called with a couple of questions. Even though the island was busy, the beach was not crowded and the traffic was not bad. There only small grocery stores, but we could easily find all that we needed. Both Piggly Wiggly Express and Island Grocery had great meat selections. We had BJ Pizza twice. If you do want BJ Pizza on Saturday (when everyone is checking in) do know that you need to call them early in the afternoon to be able to get through. We have already started planning to come back next year. We would stay at Cotton Candy again.

Great place! Had an awesome time with awesome people. House was outstanding. Only issue was beach access- if you have a cart with a lot of stuff and a lot of kids it can be difficult getting up/down the stairs to the beach.

We rented Cotton Candy on short notice and the location and property worked very well for us. We have stayed at other St George properties in the past. The location and amenities of the plantation are hard to beat. Cotton Candy is well located with very good beach access from the path on the east side of the lot, It was plenty of house for two people and we used only the main living level. It is a very good value for the price and location.
We have no real complaints about the house that would prevent us from staying there again, but some updates would make the rental experience better. The mattresses could be refreshed and some window coverings in the living areas would improve privacy on the main level. There were no spices in the kitchen and a few items added to the kitchen would make dining in better as there is limited grocery shopping and dining on the island. Minimal commercial development on the island is one of its best features. We will definitely stay on the plantation again and in Cotton Candy if it is available.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cotton Candy rental. The home was well equipped, a short walk to the beach on a lovely nature-filled path, and we were able to relax and be secluded. We felt it was a great price for the week. It has a good amount of stairs so it's really not for people that have any mobility issues. There are a few upkeep items that need attention but no deal-breakers.

Location was nice and a short walk to the Gulf, very private and secured which I liked. The little towns are very quaint. Furniture was worn and mattress uncomfortable shower stall so small I used tub upstairs. But for the price I guess it was okay. Renting is a learning experience for me so I know what to look for next time.

Fourth or fifth year we have rented through Forgotten Shores and it was another flawless performance by the great staff. Jamie is great to work with and her preparation BEFORE we arrive almost eliminates any need for communication AFTER we get there! Thanks for a wonderful fishing week with my siblings and spouses.

The house was lovely and well-appointed, perfect for a family getaway. It was an easy walk to the beach and we loved the Plantation amenities. We were a little worried about travel in 2020, but the house and beach were nice and secluded, perfect for COVID distancing. The kids loved the setup and the amount of space!

What a beautiful home! An easy walk to the beach and yet still having a private feel among the trees. The windows allowed for viewing of wildlife (we had an owl sitting in a tree for hours one day) and nice to hear the ocean from the deck. We had three couples of a family in the home and felt we still had our own areas for privacy. The wi-fi allowed for many of us to continue to work remotely without any problems. A perfect retreat for a beach vacation! We would rent the home again!!

Our stay at Cotton Candy exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a quiet, secluded vacation with our family and this property certainly delivered. The house was superbly decorated and the kitchen was well-quipped. The deck in the afternoon was my favorite place to be. Only a short walk to a stunning beach and pure bliss.

As a family we have rented Cotton Candy a few times. It has always been a great place but this year things weren’t up to the usual standards. The floors too dirty to go barefoot had to call to be cleaned. The upper deck had beer cans, cups and a pack of cigarettes. There were things that were broken, the door covering the washer, dryer would not close and not all the jets in the master bath tub would work. We really like staying at Cotton Candy but have noticed the wear from being rented.

Not as good as usual

This Plantation home on ST George Island was a great choice for our family get away. The decorations were fun, had everything you needed, and the home was super clean (which is a big deal to me). The location was a short and lovely walk to the beach and offered plenty of amenities as a guest at the Plantation, such as two nice pools, tennis courts, bike trails and beautiful beaches. Plenty of privacy and safe for families with children because of the gated community. The Plantation is kept very nice and well manicured. Just a short drive to restaurants and where we could drop our boat to go fishing. Property manager Jamie was awesome! We will be back!

Our family enjoyed our stay here. It was a much needed vacation with our family. We were blessed with great weather and great time playing in the water and walking the beach. Management Company was great to deal with and responded quickly to txt I sent. House was clean and comfortable. We all agreed that it was nice to be set back from the beach surrounded by local tree and plant growth. Thank you for opening up your lovely home for others to enjoy.

Nice
