The Salty Pickle - Beach front access, Pickleball Court, Pool, Hot Tub!

The East End neighborhood has that 'Old Florida' vibe that Forgotten Coast visitors love, family friendly atmosphere and spectacular views of St. George Island's award winning beaches.

The Salty Pickle is on the edge of the Gulf Beaches area -- 1.8 miles to local shops, markets, restaurants, nightlife, St. George Lighthouse Museum and playground, fishing pier and just 2.5 miles to the State Park. The charming shops, restaurants, galleries and historic attractions of Apalachicola are just 20 minutes by car. Spend your days splashing in the waters of the private pool (heated for a fee) or soak up the sunshine on the unspoiled Gulf beaches. The pool deck extends to underneath the house to provide a shady area to gather by the pool and a nearby ping pong table and TV under the house provides entertainment between dips in the pool. Just outside the pool deck is a dedicated outdoor regulation cornhole court which is also great for bocce ball. And don't forget to bring your paddles to take advantage of the full sized private pickleball court!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 4 couples and our dog stay at this wonderful home. It is set up beautifully for pets!!! I never had to worry about my pup getting loose. The home was clean and the floor plan was fantastic. All the bedrooms are on the same floor...along with the lovely screened in porch. The kitchen, dining room and den was on the top floor...with a huge deck overlooking the water. The pool isn’t very big, but big enough to enjoy! The pickleball court was brand new looking. We played every day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The home was awesome! Views that I don't think could be beat - Sunrise and sunset over the Gulf! The kitchen is amazing with 2 dishwashers and 2 ovens and it is FULLY stocked with all the appliances, glasses, dishes, etc. you could need... and the view made cooking so much better! It is a just little walk down the board walkway to the beach. The dog yard is fenced and easy access to let them out to without concern. No need to rent cornhole boards or sports equipment as the house had all that we needed. The few little things that came up were quickly handled by the property management. The only thing that was not clear on the documents was pet fee...so be sure to double check that so there aren't any last minute stressors. The weather was cold and we still spent time on the beach collecting shells and even sand dollars. The hot tub was a hit in the cold weather. This home was perfect for what we needed. We travelled with 10 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs.

Fabulous Getaway

We loved our stay at the Salty Pickle! The pickleball court is why we booked (which was AWESOME!) but we enjoyed the many other amenities as well. The management company does a great job of making you feel welcomed and taken care of and even provided a bag of essentials for the week which we really appreciated. We’ve stayed in many places on the island and this was one of our favorites. 10/10!

The welcome package left for us was the most thoughtful/useful package ever left for us and we have rented homes at different beaches for the last 25 plus years and this was the very best one yet and it very much appreciated.

Our Amazing Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This vacation was to get all our kids and grandkids together. We loved this cottage "The Salty Pickle more than any place we've ever stayed on St. George Island. The cottage is beautiful, large with space for everyone and all the family felt spoiled. Great kitchen, a pool, ping pong table that we used daily, and a full size pickle ball court. Some of us lost weight while there because we played more than our usual amount of pickle ball. And of course it's a fun walk down the board path to the beach. I totally recommend this cottage for active families and for lots of entertainment. Plenty of Tv's, so everyone can watch something different. Best ever cottage!!!!
