Fishin Tradition

🐟 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 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ PLEASE NOTE: The sun deck over the boat house is UNAVAILABLE until further notice. After the last tropical storm, it has been boarded and roped off until it can be inspected for safe occupancy by guests. We will notify you if the status changes prior to your arrival. Thank you!

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!

Great Family Vacation Home

We had a great time at SGI. Krista was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. We enjoyed the home, pool dock and boat ramp. We caught nice trout straight from the dock as well trout and redfish in the canal and bay. The beautiful beach was an easy couple of blocks and was not crowded during our stay. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

The layout and design of the home was fun and exciting. The entire top floor is a beautiful open concept kitchen, dining and living room. Prefect for a relaxing getaway with the family, but would have had plenty of space for many more. Everything was very clean and the home was well stocked with everything we needed.

Great relaxing trip

Our family had a great time at this house! There was plenty of room for our family. We each had our own bathroom and sliding door directly to the balcony which was awesome. Also, we caught redfish, speckled trout, and white trout off the dock out back. On the evening of our last day, dolphins swam into the canal right up to the dock. Super cool! The owner is super nice and accommodating if you need anything what-so-ever. We will be staying here in the future! Thank you for such a memorable time!

The place was ok. We had to refill the propane tank. Don't know what good a gas grill is without propane. And was shocked that a forced evacuation doesn't refund your money. I guess only the traveler has to keep their side of the bargain.

Great location, private boat launch & dock, bring your water toys!!!

12 of us, family and friends, stayed comfortably at A Fishin Tradition for a wonderful week of fun in the sun! We brought 4 jet skis and a pontoon boat and were able to dock all of them right there in the canal in the backyard! There is plenty of seating for both eating and relaxing in the open kitchen/living room. The 3rd floor kitchen/living room offers great water views while cooking, eating or relaxing. The kitchen has a great selection of pots, pans, glasses, plates & utensils. The pool was a nice way to relax after a day of boating and jet skiing, the pool was clean and refreshing. No need to worry about parking as there is plenty of room for your vehicles and trailers. So, bring your boat & fishing gear and enjoy all that A Fishin Tradition has to offer!!!

“Private pool” was unusable as it was visibly unclean and unsanitary to swim in. Host promised on the first day cleaners were coming that day or the next, no one showed up for the entire week. We reached out to the host throughout the week about the pool and she never responded. Finally heard back from the host hours before we left. Pool was never cleaned or usable. Only reason we rented this house was for the pool for our children.Weren’t able to check in on time (5pm). Host let us know right before 5pm after we had a car full of groceries and young children. Weren’t able to check in until 7pm. Wouldn’t recommend this house, not worth the hassle.
