🐟 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.

    This home had everything we needed for our first trip to St George with our boat. The host was very friendly and provided guidance for fishing. The home was spacious for our group of 8. Everyone had their own space and could easily gather in the living room and kitchen/ dining area. We rode our bicycles to the beach and to town daily. Wonderful home!

    “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.

    We never got to check in after driving 7 hours, host never sent code and only after we had booked another place did they call and try to make it right. Was very disappointed with the whole thing. Outside was run down.

    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!

    Arrival for check in was 5 but they were still cleaning at 7:30 not their fault but previous check out I guess ? House was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed - I would say outside was shabby chicWorn decks and pool was in need of repair and porch furniture was very old and lounge chairs were not safeIt was quiet and close to everything - pool was wet and comfortable temp - would come again

    We arrived after 5pm check in. Hosts were still there cleaning so the 8 of us unloaded and waited. Awkward. 3 large wet dogs bounded from the canal and Jumped all over us and onto the picnic tables that we ended up not using because of that. when we finally went inthe house dogswent in and one pooped on a rug in one of the bedrooms, and the other two wrestled on the king bed covers. The host stripped the bed and took the soiled rug and said she would return with clean linens and bedspread. It was after 9 o’clock before she came back. The house itself was fair. Rickety railings. There were no batteries in the front door lock so we couldn’t use that door. We had to get the code set for the other door after she came back with the linens. There were no kitchen towels or cloths or towels for the upstairs bathroom . But the four bedrooms with each having their own private bathroom is What sold us. The island is great and we had a blast. But I would never rent this house again. I hate giving bad reviews, but it is what it is. We haven’t been offered any discount for the fiasco.

    Great house that has everything you need. If stairs are not your thing then be prepared for lots of them. We enjoyed getting our steps in everything though. Would recommend this house for a great vacation.

    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.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. We especially enjoyed the 3 master bedrooms with a bathroom in each. Several of us spent time fishing off the dock. (and yes we caught several different kinds of fish) Since it was hot we made use of the pool every day. The beach was just down the street and in the other direction we could go to the bay. The neighborhood was great for walking. Our host was always available and responded to our texts. We even booked a boat trip with her and she came to pick us up. We love the vibe of the area and will be coming back. The only suggestions we have might be to have a couple of bikes for riding or even a couple of kayaks. Both items would be put to good use in this area.
