The Palms Retreat is a spacious beach home located on St. George 
Island, approximately 80 miles southeast of Tallahassee, Florida and 
approximately 15 miles from Apalachicola. The house is built in a 
private and 24 hour guarded community, The Plantation that has made 
the preservation of the quality and beauty of this unique area a 
priority. 

The Palms Retreat is a spectacular vacation home providing your 
family a fantastic view of the Gulf and easy access to the beautiful 
and private beach. It even won an architectural design award for its 
design and open floor plan. 

Upstairs in the kitchen, living, dinning room, and two decks provide 
a great place to enjoy a view of the gulf. The Bay side screened 
porch, also on the upper level, provides a great place to enjoy any 
evening while surrounded by tall pines and palm trees. Relax and 
enjoy that cool Gulf breeze on the decks or onthe porch.  The large 
kitchen is completely furnished with dishes, microwave, pans, 
utensils, coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc. Our house is 
carefully maintained.  Last year we installed new Jean-Air oven/cook 
top, dish washer, and refrigerator. You can enjoy the 
view of the Gulf while preparing your gourmet meal in the kitchen. 
The upstairs has its own full bath and laundry area with washer and 
dryer. The living room is equipped with cable TV/VCR, stereo, and a 
pull out sleeping sofa. A second living area is downstairs and is 
also equipped with a cable TV/VCR. 

The downstairs has four large bedrooms (2 of which are masters), 2 
baths, and the living area. Each bedroom is provided with a queen 
size bed. Two of bedrooms have cable TVs, while the one master 
bedroom has a PC computer with Microsoft Office XP and dial-up 
connection to the Internet.
