Gulf views, community pool, 60 seconds to the beach!

Welcome to My Hideaway (OM #J4)!

A beautifully decorated 1 BR/1BA townhome, My Hideaway offers you the comforts of home for your escape to the beach, with modern conveniences at reasonable rates.

The master bedroom boasts a comfortable King sized bed where you can drift into a peaceful slumber as you listen to the nearby waves crash along the shoreline. A large sliding glass door opens onto a private balcony where you can revel in the sight of the Gulf of Mexico or the Apalachicola Bay! The master bedroom also provides privacy from the main living room and a flat panel TV for your convenience. A full bathroom is located just outside of the bedroom.

Downstairs from the master bedroom, you enter into the kitchen and dining area. The well equipped kitchen supplies all of your basic cooking needs and plenty of space to cook up the catch of the day! A dining table and 2 additional bar stools offer plenty of seating and a convenient washer/dryer is available for your use.

Peaceful colors in the living room allow you to unwind and relax into the beach atmosphere as you acquiesce into island living. A Queen sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping room when needed, with plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. A large, flat panel TV and DVD player will keep you entertained on any rainy days or you can curl up and enjoy a good beach read. The open deck with high top table is an excellent place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee as you take in the sight of Gulf of Mexico waters. Dolphin sightings occur often so you might even enjoy a show from the local wildlife! A single cot is available for sleeping an extra person, most suitable for a small child.

Less than two minutes will get your toes in the sand by way of the convenient boardwalk. First, you will find yourself at the gate of the large, community pool with lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas for your enjoyment. Also available is a large, spacious deck with 4 park style grills, a great place to meet other visiting families and share stories of your favorite Island experiences, things to do and places to eat!

A short stroll from the community pool leads you to the soft white sands and glistening Gulf waters of Florida’s Panhandle where you and your loved ones can enjoy the warm sunshine, play in the surf or work on that Florida tan! With miles of beautiful beach, you can wander into the nearby State Park or get lost in the other direction to watch the shorebirds and depending on the time of year, possibly a sea turtle nest!

A paved bike path accessible from the main road will take you into the Island center where you can enjoy local gift shops, restaurants and the great new Lighthouse Keeper’s Museum and reconstructed Lighthouse! Don’t forget to climb to the top and get a bird’s eye view of the Island!

Whatever your vacationing preference, you are sure to find it on St. George Island and My Hideaway is the perfect place to rest, relax and remember the simple pleasures in life.

Beds: 1 King, 1 Queen sleeper sofa

Fun in the Sun
Great property with everything you need for a great week at the beach. It was an added bonus to have the beach chairs and towel provided. It made for an easy trip and a lot less to worry about. The views were also great, as we could see the water from the table on the porch. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Rest and relaxation
My Hideaway provided a quiet, relaxing environment for my boyfriend and me to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city for a while. It was clean and well cared for and the beach was maybe a one minute walk. I've already recommended My Hideaway to family and friends and hope to revisit it again. Thank you to Jamie for helping make it possible.

"Grow old with me; the best is yet to be"
We spent the previous week in a popular, busy area farther south in Florida. We loved retreating from the snow birding crowds to the quiet of your condo! The colors are vibrant but relaxing at the same time. It was equipped with everything we needed for our weeks stay. What value for the money to have stunning ocean views and a short walk to toes in the sand. We hope to return to beautiful St. George island and to your condo.

Great Winter Beach Destination
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our too-short stay at 300 Ocean Mile. Our unit, J-4, had everything we needed. We loved being so close to the beach and the state park, but "town" is really just down the road. A glitch getting in - sticky keys on the keypad - was soon remedied by Jamie so no problem. Overall, we would happily stay here again

Great Condo
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was wonderful. Packed with items for us to use during our stay, clean and very spacious for a 1 bedroom. A great community pool. My only comment would be to ensure there is cabinets space for the guests- there was a lot packed into the kitchen leaving small area for groceries:) Otherwise 10 out of 10!!!

Missing Items
Got there late & in the rain to find no ice. Had to go back out to find ice. No condiments whatsoever - not even a packet of salt! Never found the beach towels. Outside stairs are dark - solar lights not working. One very small roll of toilet paper for a place that held 4 people?? And the fridge was blocking cabinets that you could not open. Not a working clock in the place. Not only run the dishwasher but put all the dishes up and take out all your trash. I know it’s nit picky but we have stayed at VRBO’s that were better accommodations at a lesser rate.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: J4 is in a great location for quick access to the beach and the state park. The unit was very pleasant, quiet, nicely decorated. All appliances worked well. The provided supply of various soaps, coffee filters, trash bags was an added nicety. Everything was there to make the place feel like home!

Von der nervigen, lauten Baustelle abgesehen ein schöner Aufenthalt
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Wenn etwas gefehlt hat, wurde es schnell geliefert. Tolle Lage am schönen Strand und eine gute Pool Area. 2 Fahrräder und 2 Strandstühle vorhanden. Leider war vom 1. Tag an eine Baustelle. Die Dächer rundum wurden erneuert. Dadurch war es überall sehr laut. Am Pool; am Strand, auf der Terrasse. Das ging die ganze Woche so - jeden Tag bis zum Sonnenuntergang. Wir waren nur noch genervt. Angeblich war das vorher nicht bekannt, was wir nicht glauben. Wir buchen extra eine sehe ruhige Insel , weil wir wirklich Ruhe und Erholung nötig hatten - und dann das. Sehr schade !

Perfect Week
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We we had a wonderful week at My Hideaway J4. This is the fist time we've come without our whole family so we needed something for just the two of us, this townhouse was perfect! Great location, less than a 5 min walk to the beach. Surrounded by beautiful well maintained grounds ans pool. The pool was really nice. Great view of grounds and pool from our balcony, enjoyed meals out there often. The bed and pillows were amazing and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, cookware and bakeware, however not a cooking supply (salt, pepper oil) in site. I know this is advertised or required but this is the first rental we've stayed at in SGI without those things. The a/c is also very loud when kicking on and off, but did work well throughout the unit. We would definitely stay here again as well as possibly different units in the complex. Very quiet and peaceful, hated to leave. We had two very minor appliance issues but Forgotten Shores fixed them quickly and efficiently with kindness! We have stayed with them before and highly recommend the company.

Killer Bed!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So wanted to love this condo unit, which was so cute. It has everything you could possibly want, except a decent bed sadly. Both of us were not able to enjoy our time as much as we had anticipated because of the tropical storm weather upon arrival, so we thought why not enjoy sleeping in that first night. My husband never complains of back problems but actually tried switching the mattress around from foot to top, come morning. That did no good. I actually took pain medication to try to sleep on this killer bed and finally bunked out on the couch. Another person had reviewed this property and pointed out how awful the bed was, but I ignored their advice as I usually find that there is always a complainer among all of the good reviews. I wish I had heeded their warning and booked elsewhere in that complex. It was our anniversary, and we were looking forward to a great time at a great location on the beach. I truly hope the owner gets a new mattress or at least a mattress topper as this one is just plain worn out! Please take my advice.

Loved the condo and location near state park. But the bed was too soft, so unlikely to stay here again unless it is replaced with a firmer mattress.
