Hook, Wine N Sinker

We loved this rental. It was clean, well maintained and had all the comforts of my own home. The layout is perfect, the grounds are gorgeous. If you want the old Florida vibe with modern amenities, this place is for you.

Spent a month at this lovely rental and wish we could have stayed longer. Home has everything we needed and the wildlife viewing is spectacular. Have rented again for next year. Staff were so helpful anytime we needed anything. 5 stars.

We were pleasantly surprised with this house. We are usually staying in the island, but decided to try Eastpoint. So glad we did! The house was super cute, not overly huge and barren, like some places we stay. It was quaint, cute decor, and the perfect size for us and our friends. The home owner did an excellent job with labeling lights, and the amenities were phenomenal.
The property was great, with a pond (and river otters!). We see a few bears, but the bears kept their distance, as we did also. A nice little walk to the private beach in the bay. Great sunsets. And still super close to stores and restaurants.
Great vacation in the perfect house.

This place exceeded my expectations! It was so beautiful with lots of wildlife. We saw otters, all kinds of birds, and bears. The owners have made a little pathway to the shoreline. Take some crocs or boots because it is a little wet getting out there but totally worth the effort! The home is nicely furnished and decorated to provide an upscale but comfortable experience. The beds were all comfortable, even the twin bunk beds have comfortable mattresses. The pillows were nice and the linens were soft. I have food allergies, so cooking on vacation is a must and I found everything I needed in the kitchen to make delicious meals! The house was super clean and smelled really fresh. I made a note of the air filter they are using. Even after we cooked seafood, by the next day the smell was gone. It was quick and easy to get to St. George Island from this location as well as other local attractions. In the evenings the sunsets were spectacular! We were able to bring our doodles and the girls really enjoyed their stay too! The owners have created a wonderful indoor and outdoor space to enjoy the best the Forgotten Coast has to offer! If you want to be immersed in a true Florida living experience, this is the place to stay!

What a beautiful, clean and well equipped home! We stayed for Thanksgiving and prepared a feast. The beds are comfortable, the view is
Of the bay (that you can walk to from the property) was stunning! The hot tub and ping pong table were a blast! The bears came every night but ran off quickly anytime they saw us. Plenty of room to park our boat and trailer. Our pups enjoyed the screened in porch to just hang out on. We will be back!

Everything was above expectations. Property was close to SJI, Carrabell, and Apalachicola. Very private, great location, great accommodation.

This was the perfect place to just go and relax. The view was great, with lots of wildlife. We enjoyed the hot tube and game room. The house had everything we needed and so much more. We ventured out to St. George Island, Apalachicola, and Cape San Blas. Thank you for letting us bring our pups and we hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved staying at Hook, Wine, N Sinker! It is a very unique location since it is adjacent to a natural reserve. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching wildlife, which included small alligators, several raccoons, gray foxes, and a variety of birds. The house itself was clean, stylish, and comfortable. The amenities made the trip extra enjoyable. If we visit this area of Florida again, we will definitely rent this property. It helped provide us with a very relaxing vacation in a get-away-from-it-all location.

First of all I do not have enough words to compliment and describe how nice and accomodating the Forgotten Shores staff are. Thankyou again Lindsey and Jamie yalls help with the tv! as I said we are two very techno challenged seniors...the property was extremely comfortable and clean...I mean really clean! The setting is beautiful. I especially enjoyed the bird chorus every morning. Convienent location beach, gas, groceries or roads to any direction for exploration of this unique area of Florida. I urge any body reading this to come and soak up some of this Forgotten Coast and “Old Florida” thanks again for everything!

It was a great place. Clean and very equipped kitchen. They’ve thought of everything. Wish our stay had been longer. We never got a glimpse of the bear but saw a small gator. Great family time.

Instructions to find home were great. The home was beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. Plenty of cooking utensils, because even though we’re on vacation I prefer to cook. Everything was within a short driving distance. Beautiful beaches and great fishing. There was lots of wildlife! There were signs posted about bears and alligators and such-we thought maybe an alligator or two in the canal behind the house, but to our surprise, we saw a bear in the yard, an alligator in the canal, a bald eagle, an owl and lots of other wildlife. It was an amazing experience.

Enjoyed every second at Hook, Wine & Sinker! One of our very best Thanksgivings! Thank you for sharing your beautiful place! The Hicks Family, Darrell, Theresa, Melody and Sarge!
