Welcome to ‘The Big Picture’! It’s all about perspective and the beauty that surrounds this luxury home will persuade you to slow down and open your eyes to the exquisite natural setting that is St. George Island. Set against the backdrop of the Apalachicola Bay, this magnificent property boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths.
The first of 3 bedrooms on the first living level of the home, is a master suite with a cozy Queen bed and flat panel TV. Guests staying in this room have access to a private, covered balcony overlooking the driveway and a private master bath with claw-foot bathtub and a separate, tiled steam shower stall. Double sinks make your shared morning wake up convenient and efficient.
Two additional Queen bedrooms reside on the opposite end of the home, each with incredible views of the beautiful Bay marsh via a shared, screened-in porch…..a breathtaking spot to enjoy your morning coffee and greet the morning sun. Both bedrooms offer a flat-panel TV. Both bedrooms access a private bathroom with full bath/shower combination.
The large laundry room boasts brand new, top of the line washer/dryer and a full size laundry sink. You will also find a convenient morning bar with coffee maker and mini-fridge for those early morning risers.
Upstairs is the shared living area of the home as well as a fully accessible handi-capped bedroom and bathroom. This bedroom offers easy maneuverability with King bed, access to a private covered balcony overlooking the driveway and a beautifully tiled, large roll-in shower stall with specialty grab bars for your safety as well as a roll-in sink. Pine floors allow for easy movement into the open living space with high, beamed ceilings and plenty of natural lighting. Relaxing in the living room, you can enjoy a movie with family and friends on the large, flat panel TV with Netflix accessibility (please note, a personal account is required for Netflix) or simply take in the natural beauty of living Bayfront with clear views of bay waters from every window. Multiple doors open onto the large, Bayfront sundeck situated in the treetops, a wonderful place for birdwatching with ample opportunities for sightings of eagles, osprey and more!
The kitchen is a chef’s delight with stainless steel appliances, gas range and a large sink. A convenient pantry is available to store food items and the exceptional, 13-foot granite dining bar provides plenty of space to gather around and recount the days activities. A ½ bath is also available just past the kitchen.
A sleeping loft is located on the top floor of the home and overlooks the living room. This spacious loft offers 2 twins beds, with a convenient ½ bath, entertainment area with flat-panel TV and Roku, books, games and more!
Beautiful days are meant to be shared outdoors and ‘The Big Picture’ offers plenty of spaces to share! A large and private, screened-in swimming pool with a ADA certified pool lift for handicap needs (must be requested in advance), in a relaxing entertainment and lounge area will be waiting for you downstairs. A convenient and fun enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower and an Akorn grill/smoker sits poolside.
The dock is the perfect location to launch your kayak or canoe and explore the beauty of the Apalachicola Bay and surrounding coves. 2 kayaks are available at the property for your use and enjoyment. Please note, due to marsh land a boat cannot access the dock.
Elevator access is exterior and begins on the ground level, accessing each level of the home, to include the top floor loft bedroom. A fish cleaning station is located on the east side of the carport area.
The beach is a leisurely 7 minute stroll along the residential roads of the St. George Plantation.

This house was even better than described. The views were amazing! There was plenty of room and a great layout for our family. The home was clean and comfortable in every way. The elevator was especially helpful to us, with a handicapped person in our group. The rental company is top notch as well... You will be delighted if you rent this home.

We loved The Big Picture. The house was clean and worked well for our family of nine. The kids (teenagers) loved the pool, and the one fisherman in the party loved “the cut”. Forgotten Shores staff was very friendly and easy to deal with.

Thank you for your review! We hope to see you back on 'island time' again soon!

I can’t say enough good things about this home. It was even more beautiful than I expected. Beds were comfortable, amazing views, fully stocked kitchen. We had so much fun and can’t wait to go back. Just don’t forget your bug repellent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Big Picture. The house was comfortable, clean and spacious. It was our first time to stay on the bay side of the island and loved the sun sets.

The house was very clean and stocked with everything you needed for a family vacation. Perfect views of the sunset from the decks and the pool was a nice spot to relax before and after the beach.

The Big Picture is a beautiful home with amazing views of the marsh and bay. We were treated to a gorgeous sunset each night of our stay. We enjoyed the access to nature that the home provided. We brought our bikes and paddleboards and spent our vacation exploring the neighborhood. We loved having a private pool and the beach was just a short walk. The home was well decorated and comfortable for our group of 7. We would recommend this home to anyone!

2nd stay at this location. Same as the first stay. Great time but like before a house for 10-12 people needs a small freezer for the food we bring in. Same as last time the fridge and freezer couldn’t keep up. Didn’t have ice for the first day and half

This was our second time to stay at "the Big Picture" and it was another incredible week. The house has great amenities, we love the open family space but also the privacy of the bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Beautiful views from every deck/corner, and easy access to the beach. When we arrive, we bring groceries from off the island and eat all meals at the house, the kitchen is great and inviting. Wonderful SGI memories being built here. Just like last year, already looking at calendars to plan our return visit.

We visited SGI for the first time this past July. And we had 5 adults and 3 children with us. We loved every minute of this vacation the house is immaculate, but kid friendly. The owners have every accommodation you can think of available to you. And Jamie was on call as needed to answer our questions as needed. We’ve only been gone a month and already trying to plan our return visit. In a week visit we never left SGI and we barely left the house unless to visit the beach or get ice cream mid afternoon. Truly heaven on earth.
Our 2nd time at Big Picture and it works perfectly for us. Screened pool area was used constantly, comfortable rooms, big kitchen. Our only unfulfilled wish is a big dining table where we can all eat together.
