Whippoorwill invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and truly unwind. Tucked amidst swaying palms and towering pines, this spacious bayfront retreat offers stunning, ever-changing views of the bay and the peaceful rhythm of island life.
Set on over an acre at the water's edge, Whippoorwill provides a rare sense of privacy and serenity on St. George Island. Wake to birdsong, feel gentle bay breezes drift through the palms, and listen as the calm water softly splashes along the shoreline.
A long private dock extends into the bay, perfect for leisurely walks, casting a line for red snapper, trout and flounder, setting a trap for those delicious blue crabs, or simply savoring the absolutely spectacular sunsets that light up the evening sky. From the dock, you can watch schools of fish glide below, along with crabs and other fascinating sea life that call the bay home.
Inside, the home features an open-concept design with soaring ceilings and expansive glass windows and doors that flood the space with natural light and frame breathtaking bay views. The decor blends nautical charm with relaxed coastal style, featuring wicker and rattan furnishings accented by soothing shades of blue and green. Facing the bay, the great room offers comfortable spaces for dining, relaxing, and watching TV, all with water views as your backdrop. Adjacent is the well-equipped kitchen, designed to make meal preparation effortless, with modern custom cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, and a variety of small appliances. A breakfast bar provides a cozy spot for morning coffee and easy conversations.
Each bedroom is a private retreat, complete with its own bath, TV, sitting area, and expansive bay views, ensuring every guest enjoys both comfort and tranquility. Step outside to discover multiple elevated decks ideal for dining, sunning, relaxing, or watching dolphins play in the bay. All decks offer easy access to the ground level and the boardwalk leading to the dock. For even more outdoor enjoyment, Whippoorwill features a fabulous screen-enclosed pool, perfect for refreshing swims while staying comfortably shaded and bug-free.
Beneath the home, you'll find covered parking, a convenient fish-cleaning station with sink and running water, and an enclosed hot-and-cold outdoor shower-ideal after a day on the water.
Whippoorwill is more than a vacation home, it's a peaceful bayfront escape where nature, comfort, and unforgettable island moments come together.

We rented this property for the week after Christmas for us and our 5 kids (14, 12x2, 11, 10) as a surprise. From our home in Indiana it’s about a 13hr drive-that’s reasonable for us to do in a single day. We were somewhat leary about the weather, but decided to chance it. We had never heard of St George Island, and there were no reviews of this property so we just had our fingers crossed. It absolutely exceeded our expectations! It easily accommodated our large family with plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone to spread out when needed. The master bedroom, located upstairs, has a king bed, en-suite bathroom with a tub and walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms are on opposite sides on the main living area each with their own 3 piece bathroom. There is a large open concept living room, kitchen with a peninsula w/ bar stools, and a dining room table that seats 6. Breathtaking views of the bay from the sliding doors out to the deck. Heating the pool was a MUST! The first day it was still pretty cold, but by the end of the week it was almost bath water. The bay was amazing. Even saw 2 dolphins playing during high tide from the massive windows inside! There is a beautiful private beach area where our kids put in paddle boards and were able to wade in the water. At high tide the water is only 3ish feet deep and low tide left the waters edge passed the end of the dock-perfect for exploring and looking for hermit crabs. The water is crystal clear, very little current, cool, but tolerable when it’s just up to your knees! We did buy the kids wetsuits and snorkel masks that they enjoyed using in the pool and bay. We absolutely loved the secluded location and pretty much stayed out the whole week. From the house it is also about a 5min walk to the Gulf side if you’re wanting some waves! Things to keep in mind...best and closest grocery is about 30mins away in Apalachacola (there are 2 “groceries” on the island but they didn’t have much). The decor is a little dated, but the beds were comfortable enough and it was clean. We will definitely be back!!!
