About the host: I'm a graphic designer by trade and now a house remodeler and STR Host by chance. After visiting the island for over 15 years we decided to buy a house that we could rent to other and also enjoy ourselves. I spent almost 2 years renovating The Salty Mermaid and loved it so much on the island the we have now made it our home.
Why this property? This house spoke to me when I saw it for the first time. I could envision the fun, colorful, mid-century style that ultimately came to fruition. We hope you will love the playful vibes and enjoy it as much as we do.

Steve W.My review will a bit different than most.
I actually had a very rewarding trip but not much fun . As for being satisfied I must do full disclosure and tell you it is my families 31st year coming to St George in a row so that gives that away. So it wasn’t much fun because we were there to reorganize , furnish , paint inside and general work required to prep the new house I bought for rental. So folks remember “ Green Grass & High Tides “ When looking for your next house rental. Managed by a new up & coming Heaven Garrett at Southern Coast vacation rentals. Please send me another review request mid August because I’ll be back for one week in a previously rented house for a week and then a second week in our new house … did I say the name is Green Grass & High Tides ?.I promise you it will be a raving review of the place we stumbled on to 31 years ago & love so much we finally bought a house there. Or … yes, I will have a fun time , catch many fish, go to st James or St Joe golf & country club for golf , wander the night time streets of Apalachicola searching for good people , good food , good music , good shops whether you are looking for alligators to Zebra fish. ( what ever that is ) or building sand castles with my grandson on the beautiful beaches of St George Island ( voted No. 1 beach in the No. state in the No. country USA in …. Wait for it … in th World! Look it up. 900 W Bayshore Dr . Right across th street from Beautiful Franklin County Regatta Park. Safe travels to all my fellow St George Island trekkers . Go see the State Park too. And don’t forget that pirates hid treasure around there somewhere! Or did they???

Mary F.Love that Salty Mermaid!
Great location: a short walk down a county road to the beach; a short drive into restaurants, groceries, and stores. The house is decorated in fun colors that are relaxing and uplifting. Host thought of everything needed for a comfortable stay. Back porch, great outside shower and hot tub, beautiful kitchen, comfortable beds fenced back yard. Great family friendly house (including the dog)! Honestly, we loved this house! And our week on St. George Island. Be sure and drive to the 9 mile beautiful pristine State Park. We will return to Salty Mermaid.
