Welcome to Hook, Wine N Sinker!

This thoughtfully designed ground level, 2BR/2BA Bayfront cottage sits on 2.45 acres surrounded by natural foliage and the Apalachicola Bay. Located in Eastpoint, you’ll be just minutes from the white sand beaches of SGI and only a short drive to downtown Apalachicola for shopping and dining. For any avid fishermen, ‘Hook, Wine N Sinker’ is only a 1-minute car ride to the Eastpoint fishing pier and the nearest public boat launch is just 1 mile from the property!

Begin your stay by entering into the family room which offers plenty of shared living space. You'll find the living room comfortably furnished with double recliner and a Queen sleeper sofa for alternate sleeping accommodations, a 65” Smart TV and a Blu-ray player. We’ve got you covered for any rainy days, with plenty of board games, books and movies for a relaxing day at home. Sorry, the fireplace is not available.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare your fresh catch of the day and has a bonus crockpot and electric skillet. The dining table seats 6 with additional seating for 3 at the large kitchen island. French doors in this space open onto the furnished screened-in veranda overlooking the hot tub and private pond with bridge.

The spacious Master bedroom has a King bed, Smart TV and Blu-ray player, a separate work desk and French doors that open onto the screened-in veranda. The en-suite bathroom has a separate vanity area with plenty of counter space and a tiled shower.

The second bedroom has a Queen bed and Bunk bed (2 Twins), with Smart TV, Blu-ray player and it also opens onto the screened-in veranda. The en suite bathroom is easily accessible from the living area and has a combination tub/shower. Pack-n-play and highchair are available for use.

Just beyond the house, the garage has been converted into a game room w/ 2nd refrigerator and microwave, darts, corn-hole, ping pong and many other games to choose from. The full-size washer/dryer can also be found here.

An excellent spot for birdwatching, head toward the bridge that overlooks your private pond. On the other side of the bridge is plenty of space to explore the surrounding marsh land and to watch the many water birds in flight. For the adventurous, take the path less traveled across our pontoon boats and head out to the bayfront beach to explore!

Relax on the hammock, soak in the bubbling hot tub, or enjoy an evening under the stars around the wood-burning fire pit. Additional outdoor conveniences and extras include a porch swing, fish cleaning sink, and an abundance of citrus fruit trees that line one end of the driveway.

Our new place
We had a wonderful stay at Hook wine and sinker! Short drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants! Fresh seafood within minutes from property to prepare at the home. Very quiet neighborhood! We all enjoyed evenings of playing games, swinging under the trees and watching for wildlife! Would definitely recommend!

Perfect home for vacation stay.
We loved everything about our stay here. It’s the perfect location exactly halfway between Appalachacola and St George Island. Home is clean and has all the amenities you would want for a vacation stay. We will definitely stay here again on our trips back to SGI.

Only one shortfall
The house was great. Beautiful property, quiet, close to St George Island and Apalachicola. The only down side I could find was that there was no washer/dryer.

If you like quiet, clean and close to nature this is perfect.
We loved everything about this VRBO. Amenities were perfect, we were provided with every comfort of our own home. We were looking for something away from the crowds and noise and this place did not disappoint. The serene view from the back porch is worth every penny along with the convenience of St George and Apalachicola so close by. Thank you!

Absolutely. Incredible.
Wow. Just book this place now!! It’s absolutely stunning, a slice of Heaven on earth! Extremely well equipped (we cooked a full Thanksgiving feast), tons a space, very comfortable beds, wonderful shower pressure, the views are unreal! Access to the bay on the property, incredible sunsets, 6 min to St George and 8-9 min to Apalach. We saw bears every evening and a bunch of other critters. They ran fast when they saw us and didn’t cause any issues with our dogs. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

What a great place to relax and unwind after a day at the beach or exploring the near by towns. We even drove over to Panama City Beach for the day and had a nice, quiet place to come back to.

Beautiful view from back deck!
The house was very clean and updated with everything you would need (except for the groceries…lolol) Beautiful scenery and the location was great. We could see the bay from the deck. Beautiful sunrise every morning. Glad we read the sign by the bridge in backyard over the canal..be aware of wildlife and please don’t feed them. We saw a bear, up close and an alligator in the canal, beautiful eagle, owl, raccoons, squirrels and a couple of foxes. Awesome, but a little scary when the bear came to the driveway in front of the house, of course we probably scared him too because he ran off quickly. All of the people in the town were really friendly.
