Great Reasons For a St George Island Getaway

St. George Island is one of the few idyllic places in Florida where you can let time slip by and have your senses surrounded by the best beach sights, warm waters, tranquil atmosphere, and delicious seafood. Several reasons point out why this barrier island is a wonderful place for vacation or place of celebration:

Affordability

St. George Island is an affordable vacation destination for your family or group of friends. There are many St. George Island Rentals to choose from depending on the number of people in the group. Two or more families can occupy a rental with several rooms and bathrooms. Each one has privacy but can still bond with other people anytime of the day since everyone lives in a common home. The availability of a kitchen helps your group save on some food expenses and having several bathrooms in the home means less pressure on time spent on bathroom use.

Fantastic Venue for Occasions

The amazing beaches are an ideal backdrop for a romantic destination wedding. Couples can get married right there on the shores in an intimate ceremony. Some St. George Island rentals also allow weddings and receptions on the property. Many properties have pools and well-tended lawns. With a nice wedding theme and attractive decorations, the property can be transformed into one spectacular venue. Besides weddings, St. George Island rentals are ideal for occasions such as birthday parties and wedding showers. Grills are also provided in most rentals for an afternoon or dinner get-together. Businessmen can make this place the venue for business talks or negotiations and have the chance to spend an extra day or two on a beach holiday.
