A location, clean, and feels like home.Awesome!
Very nice property. No issues at all except that the trash can was full. Emailed the priperty managers and they came and emptied it enough ti last us the week. Kids loved the fishing dock and we got to see several dolphins. Overall a great property
Only issue for us was the stairs- hard on us and the dogs
Dock needs guardrails- that direct drop is dangerous
Need grab bar on outside of tub for help getting out in Bath upstairs
Both towel holder and toilet paper holder were loose in upstate bath
But, beautiful house in a great location. Gorgeous sunsets. So easy to get to both Apalachicola or SGI!
We were celebrating our 44th anniversary and decided to go away for a few days. We found this property hoping to do a little fishing but Mother Nature had other ideas. The heat made it difficult for the air conditioning to keep up during the day; the nights were better but it took a while to cool down. The house was immaculate and the appliances were all brand new. Also the house was fully stocked with every accessory for cooking. The only thing that really bothered us was the tv situation. Couldn’t figure out how to get regular channels only could get what was on Samsung Plus. Small inconvenience but somewhat annoying nevertheless. Would recommend this property for anyone not needing to put a kayak in the water or didn’t need to watch a lot of tv.

This is a very special place that has a 5 Star view of the bay with a beautiful dock that is perfect for sunset viewers. The accommodations were wonderful to include a very nice lit fire pit area with outstanding landscaping. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely be staying at the Shady Oyster!!

The unit was perfect. The vacation rental management staff were extremely helpful.I would highly recommend this home, very quiet.Would like to have had a built in ladder off the dock to access kayaks.El Jurasco, Carrabelle Junction, and hole in the wall breakfast nook (great coffee)on Water Street,restaurants very good.Florida Seafood Festival was great.Wonderful home to relax and chill out.Definitely a 10.
Perfect for our stay. Beds are comfortable. House is well laid out, and well equipped. And it was very very clean. Forgotten Shores is very easy to deal with. Loved the dock. And the downstairs when one of us had a tutoring session. 3/4 mile walk to Pollywhogs on sidewalks. About the same to Nature center.
Beautiful home with a great view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets every night. The fish were biting and the dolphins put on more than one show. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay. Will be back!
This was a wonderful place to stay for our girlfriend weekend. It was the perfect location between Apalachicola and St. George Island. The home and property were beautiful and very relaxing.
Great location! Super private! We really enjoyed our stay here.

We absolutely loved this house! We have always stayed in the same house in Lanark village but we were not able to get it this year. We ran across this one at the last minute and it was great! So great we plan to stay here more in the future! It's absolutely beautiful. Being able to sit on the dock and see the sunsets were my favorite! Sitting on the screened in porch was very relaxing. We can't wait to stay again! A pool would be a great addition for this house! My kids truly enjoyed it but they were hoping we would have a pool where we stayed! I have to add that everyone I talked to from forgotten Shores properties were extremely nice and so much help! Thank you guys so much!
We enjoyed the location, comfort and cleanliness of this home. Comfortable beds, beautiful view of the bay and close to the beach and Apalachicola. We were responded to quickly and considerately when we had questions about the house when we arrived. I would recommend this beautiful home for a restful vacation to my family and friends.

We had a great time, beautiful home, and a terrific view. Couldn’t ask for more. Home was spotless, and had everything we could need. I would recommend this home and I would stay there again. We really loved sitting on the screened porch and down at the glad I chose this property.
Enjoyed our stay! View and dock is amazing. I loved dog bowls in place for dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds. Dishes have to be put back, so I wasn’t confident of cleanliness. Leaving dishes in dishwasher is an incentive for guests to use it. Garbage had to be pulled to the street. Loved that I could check in early!

The property was perfectly situated between St. George Island and Apalachicola. We had waited until the last minute to rent not knowing our exact dates to be in the area. We normally rent on the island; however, with the holiday weekend, it was close to impossible. This house fit the bill for us perfectly. It was newly renovated, the furnishings were new, and the view from the new dock was gorgeous. The only drawbacks were the dock was too high and the water too shallow for a boat. It was a lovely stay.
