This cute and cozy beach bungalow that speaks of "old Florida", is perfect for couples or small families! There are 2 very spacious bedrooms and 2 baths. A large living area has plenty of seating and even a game table on which to play games or jigsaw puzzles in the evening!

Multiple "viewing" spots are located throughout the community to visit, both on Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. There are 2 large resort-style swimming pools, one located just 3 minutes down the bike path. There are multiple tennis courts and a pickleball court, At the very end of the Plantation, enjoy the best fishing on the island at the deep water canal that is "cut" through the island.

My girlfriend and I took our dogs to the Island Girl for a quick stay. It was perfect for what we needed. The host had wonderful communication and the beach was gorgeous. I think we say a total of 5 people on the beach the entire time we were there. Everything was dog friendly! We will definitely be coming back.

My black lab and I had a great 5 days at the property. The one instance we needed to get in touch with the property owner, she responded immediately. Looking forward to coming back again!

We had a wonderful, relaxing long weekend and fell in love with The Plantation and Renay’s Island Girl cottage. The privacy and fun we had with our golden retriever Lily was a memory we will forever cherish. We have always vacationed in Destin and Orange Beach but we have found paradise now and plan on vacationing with family and friends here from now on. Thank you Renay for sharing your piece of Heaven on earth with us! Sacia (Letitia), Doug
And Lily

We wanted a relaxing beach vacation with our dogs. This place was perfect for my husband and me and our adult daughter and her BF. The house is a short walk from the beach with an outside shower and hose down area, perfect to rinse off after playing on the beach. The beach isn’t crowded, especially mornings and evenings, and great for long walks, swimming and just relaxing in beach chairs. The owner is very responsive and friendly. We would come here again.

We loved every aspect of our stay!!
Very welcoming and confortable home for our family, and our pets 🐕.
The walk to the beach is really short and so convenient!!
The games and puzzles were a big hit for our 3 year old (...besides the beach 😄 ).
All our needs were taken care of in a timely manner. The host was always available to answer questions or concerns!
We enjoyed the shops around the island, the food, etc. Everything was easily accesible from the house.
Definitely recommend Sea Palm Village! I am very thankful to have found this place to enjoy our family vacations! I am sure we will be back!

Island Girl Hospitality
As newbies to SGI Renay's Island Girl was a perfect choice! It's accurately represented in listing, great location, short distance to the beautiful beach via a lush nature ridden path and boardwalk! We only dined out once at The Blue Parrot (try the Mahi Rueben!) as this home's kitchen was fully equipped, clean and perfect way to wrap up our fun beachfront days. Thanks for being a reliable and hospitable host Renay!!! We look forward to returning again!

Excellent beach vacation
Island Girl was the perfect beach getaway for me and my mom and our furry pets. It was a great distance from the beach and restaurants downtown. The little bungalow is tucked away in the woods with plenty of shade and privacy. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the waves. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location!
This property has a great location. Beautiful short walk to the beach. The beach was wonderful and not crowded. The place was really clean. Some paint and replacing some deck boards would really bump this up to a 5 star. The inside is so cute and lovely. Our only complaint was that we were without wi-fi/internet during our stay.

Beautiful Beaches, Nature Trails and Oysters
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Island Girl was everything the site showed. The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable. The beautiful beach was a 3 minute walk away. Viewing the night sky from deck at night was amazing. We loved it!

Wonderful house, great amenities (kayaks, Roku, outdoor shower). But for my child and I all the wonderfulness of their first trip to the beach was left short by overly soft beds that provided no support. My 3yo sunk into both beds and was never able to sleep except out of sheer exhaustion. It was hard for me to sleep as well, both my neck and hips are all out of whack now 🙁. We ended up cutting our vacation short bc my 3yo just wasn't comfortable. I know bed softness is a personal preference but it dampened our visit to an otherwise wonderful house.

Fred was here!
This property is secluded and just perfect what ever your reason for visiting. The kitchen was stocked perfectly and the unique beach decor was ever so inviting. The walk to the beach was just as stated and oh it was such a pretty and tropical site. Loved our stay even though Tropical Storm Fred cut it short for us, but our plans are to return to the Island Girl. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise.

This property offers so much privacy without sacrificing convenience to the beach and other amenities. And, as other reviewers have noted, the house feels like a home away from home -- total comfort without the frills. We were also pleasantly surprised by the size of the home. While it's not what most would consider a large home, I feel it's larger than the photos convey -- the perfect fit for our family of four.
In short, my family and I loved our time in Island Girl. We would jump at the chance to stay again.

This was perfect for our family of 3!! We celebrated our 4 year olds birthday on the beach ❤ This house had everything that we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved the private walkway to the beach and it was a short walk to the pool! Thank you for sharing your home with us, we really enjoyed ourselves and loved playing some the board games!

We loved Island Girl and all the amenities Renay provided. Any question we had prior to our trip was promptly answered. The cottage is in a quiet street a short walk from the beach which is awesome. We enjoyed some time out on the deck and walks along the beach. Would definitely recommend this little cottage ️

Perfect location
Being on the plantation was even better than we realized when booking. The vegetation, trails, security, quiet, and access to the swimming pools was really awesome! The house itself was wonderful. It had everything we could have needed down to dog bowls, sand toys, and night lights. The kitchen was bigger than it looks in the photos with a ton of counter space. We have a 3 year old who loved the house and his bed so much. I was concerned because the bedroom walls do not go all the way to the ceiling and I thought that my son would not be able to go to sleep, but he was so worn out every night it was not an issue at all. I would recommend bringing a sound machine for small kids if they are disturbed by noises and that should be enough. This was a perfect vacation and we were very pleased with everything at Island Girl! Amazing deal for the price!
