Eastpoint, Florida
"The Sandy Bucket" is a perfect oasis for your family or for two families. The Sandy Bucket in our house refers not only to the sand toy but also to our sandy "bottoms"! Our kiddos call their bottom their "bucket" so the name has a double meaning to us! We are pet-friendly, less than 100 yds to the beach with private beach access path, panoramic ocean views, and no road to cross when walking to the beach. Our home has been completely renovated. Brand new kitchen appliances, countertops, large single basin 10" deep stainless steel sink with tall pull out faucet, new washer/dryer, all new bathrooms (tile, vanities, tubs, toilets, etc), new luxury vinyl tile flooring throughout the house, new paint & furniture (new mattresses, couch, chairs, etc). Also, a brand new HVAC system and tankless hot water heater so you will never run out of hot water!! A new 19 foot deep deck completes the renovations. The house is 1.5 miles to the State Park entrance and 2.5 miles to the lighthouse, grocery store, and restaurants so it's in the perfect location to bike or run in either direction on the bike path that runs along the entire island! The lots on the East End are each 1 acre so there is more privacy and the beaches are quieter, which we love!
There are 3 bedrooms. The Master Bedroom has its own private bath, smart Tv, ceiling fan and french doors onto the deck. The second king bedroom has a smart TV and french doors onto the deck as well. The bunk room has one twin over twin bunk bed and one twin over full bed. A Roll-away cot is also in closet so the bunk room can sleep 6 kids. The dining table seats up to 8 people with the table leaf. There are three bar-stools at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The living room has a very large comfy sectional along with two cushioned chairs. Large flat screen Smart TV, books and games. No regular cable at the house; you’ll have to log into your own Netflix, YouTube TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc to watch TV and movies.
There is an hot and cold water outdoor shower under the house with both a shower head and hose to wash toys and dogs off. Parking for several cars under the house as well. Free wifi. We have one security camera on the driveway and stairs for security reasons. When you arrive, you will be supplied with a starter kit (soap, toilet paper, etc).
Clean, cozy beach house. Enjoyed oyr stay.
The place is a great location to the beach and easy to find on the island… close to everything! Small place with lots of room… 3 bedrooms, and plenty of beds for many! We just had a bad experience upon arrival but the owner was prompt to communicate and actively daily to help with what she could… I had never experienced this in all my vacation rentals… but we live and learned … we will always look to see NO Pets allowed next time considering a rental… but April was easy to communicate with and helpful… as I know the arrival of the place wasn’t her fault… as she only oversees managing the property and didn’t cause the problem! We did enjoy our time at the beach with wonderful family fellowship and even traveled Indian Pass Raw Bar , a short trip of 38 minutes away from the island for some amazing seafood, my husband fished, and we ate our share of ice cream!
Great trip overall, perfect location.
For the price per night this is a great property. The house is roomy and perfect for two couples or one family. Short walk and you are on the beach. The owners are really nice, too and their communication from booking to check out is really helpful. Happy Beaching(:
Our 3rd stay in the property. Great location on SGI, beautiful beach with easy access. Superb property in all respects.
We highly recommend The Sandy Bucket. It's updated, comfortable, clean, well stocked and located in a less crowded area for the beach. We enjoyed our stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bucket! Communication with property owners was great! It was a perfect distance to the beach, easy walk. We loved the outdoor shower as it was the best! We all had enough space. The open floor plan was nice for our large group.
Well maintained property that is kept up. The only thing this house is missing is a pool but it does have easy beach access. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.
My daughter and I had a wonderful week. It was so peaceful and we hope to go back in the future. The house was in a great location
Great location and easy walk to the beach. House had the minimum for what you need to stay and nothing extra, it would have been nice to have some beach supplies for this beach house since it’s a pain to have to travel with beach chairs, toys, umbrellas, etc. Bathrooms need a little TLC, showers don’t drain well and shower heads aren’t great. Kitchen is really small, but had a great large sink. Beds were comfortable and the kids loved the bunk room. Porch and view were very nice!
Clean and well stocked kitchen. Nice short walk to beach.
The house was perfect for my husband, me, and our little dog. It was an easy walk to the beach. Neighbors were quiet. We love the East End of the Island. Loved the screened porch and the big open wood deck. We will rent this one again.
This beach cottage was amazing!! You are much closer to the water than the pictures indicate. The beach was nearly empty and was so close we walked it at least once a day. There are restaurants on the island and cute shops. And only a few minutes from Appalachicola. Would definitely go again!
Great location and good weather. House fit all our needs and then some. Walk to the beach was fairly short. Had no real issues to worry about. Would gladly rent again if available.
We spent 3 weeks at the Sandy Bucket to get away from the Michigan winter. It was perfect. In the quieter part of the island, which is relative given it’s a quiet island to begin with. Even though it’s not on the beach, we had a beautiful view of the ocean and could hear the waves from the house. And only about a 100 steps to the beach via a private path. The house was tastefully decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The owner April was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay!
We had a great time with our dog at the beach house. Everything was clean and loved the deck looking at over the ocean!
Great location! Remodeled bathrooms. Full hot/cold outdoor inclosed shower. Perfect for our family beach get-a-ways.
This place was in a great location just a short walk to the beach The house was clean and beds was very comfortable
Our family had an amazing time while staying at The Sandy Bucket. The listing and photos were accurate and communication with the owner was easy. The location of The Sandy Bucket on the island was perfect for us and the walk to the beach was short enough that no kids complained! I would not hesitate staying at The Sandy Bucket again or recommending this property to others...although I may want to keep it a secret ;) Thank you so much, Donner Family!
This home was perfect for our family. The property has a path to the beach, which was a 3 minute walk. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals. Bed and bath layout is great for a family or even two family trip. There are several eating spaces indoors, on the deck or screened porch. Outdoor shower was nice for rinsing off after beach days. I’d definitely considering renting this home again.
Our overall experience was fantastic! The house was exactly as it was listed- I had communicated a couple of times with the owner & she was quick to respond. Definitely would recommend for folks looking to stay at St George in the future!
The property was comfortable, in a convenient location, had beautiful views. The beach is gorgeous. Definitely worth the trip
We had an amazing stay! Layout of the house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the screened in porch and having the kids shower in the outdoor shower after the beach. Beach access was so convenient! We would definitely recommend this vacation rental!
