We deeply admire the beauty of the Island and we always feel better when we spend time exposed to nature of this unique place.
We are sharing our house with our guests and hope they will enjoy the nature's beauty of The Island, our private unspoiled beach and feel comfortable in our house.
Greg Smith purchased this House in 2002
Why Greg Smith chose Plantation
Our house located within The Plantation which is nature wonderland for those who loves to explore the outdoors and appreciates private white beaches. Neighboring houses are not right up against each other and you will have a sense of seclusion. The Plantation beach is unspoiled, not over crowded and clean. It is a quiet family beach...The wild life and fishing is simply amazing. You won't believe the number of different types birds, butterfly you will see on a daily basis. An early morning stroll at the beach and it is almost a guarantee to see dolphins put on show for you in the Gulf.
Our private gated community has a unique partnership with the State of Florida that provides us access to one of the most pristine maritime forests on the island, known as Nicks Hole Cove. This unique state-owned area is accessible for kayaking, hiking, picnicking, and observing the natural world.
The island is also a great place to catch up on your fishing, either from a boat or the coast. We are located in 10 minute 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, where you can fish off the jetties and see Little St. George Island across the water.
What makes this House unique
We hope you will enjoy the nature's beauty of The Island, our private unspoiled beach, two large community pools, miles of our biking/walking trails. Take a short walk to our private beach and wiggle your toes in the sugar-white sand on our beach. Swim in crystal waters of The Gulf., or relax at the large pool.
At night watch for shooting stars or just listen to the night ocean sounds. If you want to be on the water, you can kayak, swim or spend the day on the boat. You can rent all sorts of water craft at Journeys and other places. They also have guided sailing and fishing trips and much more.
Play. Rest. Dream. Enjoy. Welcome to The Palms Retreat!

The Palms on St. George island was a comfortable peaceful get away.


This was a wonderful place to stay in a beautiful gated community.

LOVE!


We had an amazing week at the Palms!!! It had everything that we needed. Our two little fur babies loved it too but we had to carry them up and down the spiral stairway. Owners were very easy to get in touch with and very informative as well as pleasant. Very happy with our vacation! The beautiful Island is just what we needed to relax!

Fun “old school” beach house in great location


Very responsive property owners! Fun “old school” beach house (as opposed to the “house that happens to be at the beach”). Quite roomy and comfortable. Clean. Lots of beach toys and several bikes — such a great addition! Note that the inside staircase is an open spiral staircase. Worked fine for us, but perhaps not best for older renter.

Family time


We very much enjoyed our stay at the Palms! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. We were able to bring our fur babies, our children were able to come and go and the weather was beautiful. There was a telescope on the premises and we enjoyed stargazing along with the beach, fishing, and shopping. We had all of the cooking utensils we needed and enjoyed cooking as well as some local restaurants. We were happy to have some relaxing family time before school starts.
