Hello – My name is Tim Riordan and I have hosted over 1,000 families from all over the world since 2004 and generally speaking it’s been a great experience.
Our average booking is 4 nights with typical stays ranging from 3 to 7 nights. Occasionally we’ll get bookings that are 2 to 8 weeks long with the latter being in the January to March time frame only. Well behaved children and pets are most welcome. Quiet, responsible drinkers are welcome and smokers are welcome, albeit ALL smoking must be done outside of the homes with butts disposed of appropriately. Drugs in any form are not welcome.
The Vacation Rental market is rapidly changing, and all the major listing sites are trying to capitalize on these changes by nickeling and dimeing travelers and property owners. All major listing sites are now charging booking or service fees between 6% to 17% to the travelers/guests. Save $$ and Book Direct with me!
Why Kids Love It
The beach. biking, sailing, and fishing.
St. George Island is a 22- mile barrier island that hosts some of Florida’s most beautiful and serene beaches. No high rises anywhere, just an unspoiled island with a laid-back attitude. Twenty miles of beach on the gulfside and miles of marsh, inlets and oyster bars on the bayside. The uncrowded beaches are perfect for sunning and shelling, the clear gulf waters invite swimming and fishing, and the pristine bay marshes feature extraordinary wildlife and sunset viewing. Rent a kayak, boat, bicycle or scooter.
The old bridge is now a fishing pier from the mainland and from the island.

Alicia L.Perfect!
We love SGI. This house sits back on a secluded street that has close access to the best restaurants and grocery stores. It is a straight shot to the beach access. It sits on a beautiful lot and had plenty of room to park our boat under the house. Everything that you need to have a great vacation. It was pure relaxation.

James S.A great house on St George Island
We had a fantastic stay at the Wahoo! The home’s central location made it easy to walk to the grocery store, shops, and restaurants, which was incredibly convenient. After long, relaxing days on the beach, we loved coming back to super comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. One of our favorite moments was sitting on the covered back porch, watching the evening thunderstorms roll in. If you’re looking for great value and comfort on St. George Island, this is definitely the place to stay.

Susan S.Truly enjoyed this rental!
This house is in a great location. It is close enough to walk to the beach and is also just a short drive away from all the restaurants. The house itself is cozy and we really enjoyed the deck out back. It was peaceful to just sit outside and listen to all the birds. The fact that it's pet friendly makes it an even better find. It was my dogs first trip to the beach so that was fun. Don't hesitate to book with them, you will enjoy it. Hope to be back soon.Susan

Dianna R.Amazing house! Clean and cozy
Tim’s home is super clean and super cozy. The layout of the home lends itself to family time. The whole back of the house are glass windows opening into a large deck. The kitchen and living area merge into this deck area so. I sky and one of the three bedrooms opens straight onto the deck. When in the deck you are surrounded by green trees and there is a feeling of actually being in the trees with the numerous birds. We watched a red shouldered hawk right off the balcony argue wirh two northern flickers. Cotton bedding. The kitchen is well appointed. A new washer and dryer complete the package. Tim is very easy to deal with. So not hesitate to rent this property.

What a nice place to spend a weekend! A quite family friendly place. House is will supplied with everything you need. Beach is just a few blocks and bay is at end on road . We took our golf cart and that was great. Golf cart rentals is on island. The owners are very easy to work with. We had to reschedule due to COVID-19. With no problems at all.

Thomas R.Perfect get away home on the island
Very clean, quiet, and owner is very courteous. I luckily stumbled across the Wahoo when looking for a place to stay with a group of guys for a long fishing weekend. I will be looking to book the Wahoo again when my wife and I go to St George for a long weekend. It may not be right on the beach, but it is so affordably priced it is well worth it
