Pirates Booty

We are veterans at SGI Plantation and have rented 6 different beachfront homes in just the last 18 months. We have found the jewel! Pirate's Booty has the perfect combination of ingredients to put you in the best spot on the Island in a beautiful home with panoramic views of the gorgeous beach / Gulf from the 2nd and 3rd floor living areas. The boardwalk which leads from your beachfront pool is private - that means you don't share it with anyone for your walks to / from the beach. The home sits at the end of the Island inside the security gate of The Plantation and is nestled high on dunes so your view is not blocked. You are right next to "The Cut" at the end of the Island where the surf fishing is best so bring your gear or get some reasonably priced when you get there. You can even have your sand chairs and umbrellas etc. delivered / picked up by a service so you don't have to pack all that - it will be waiting on you when you arrive in your driveway (was the best $235 I have spent in a long time). The open floor plan of the main living area is perfect for larger groups to gather and the 5 BRs with full baths allows for enough privacy to retreat. What makes this place my favorite is many things, but during the Summer months and even Spring / Fall is the private beachfront pool right outside of your door. We spend all day on the beach playing games and fishing and throwing the puppy balls. After a full day in the sand, it is so refreshing to get in the private pool and sip on that margerita or frosty beverage. Not many beachfront homes have a private pool and we just don't use a community pool at the beach, but we use this one! The management team is the best and highly responsive. We had a slight issue with one of the AC units needing a shot of freon to keep up. They answered the phone and within hours, we were taken care of! We really appreciated the responsiveness - they did not dodge the customers. There are some wonderful restaurants right on the Island but we tend to go over the senic bridge to the Mainland and dine at Lynn's just to the East - doesn't look like much, but fantastic fresh seafood reasonably priced. We go a little farther into Apalachicola where there are many great restaurants with waterfront views and fish / shrimp / oysters that spent last night in the Gulf. Try On the Creek and ask for Harley - flounder and shrimp is amazing. We are already planning our next trip and it will be to Pirates Booty!

Pirates Booty is a wonderful home right on the beach which is a definite plus. Saw dolphins and small stingrays jumping out of the water. Kids loved it. We had a family group of 12 people consisting of ages 77 all the way down to 5. Everyone had a great time. The youngest ones spent a lot of time in the pool and really enjoyed it. The house was well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, silverware, etc. The only thing was the living room sleeper was not comfortable so nobody could sleep on it. Had two small dogs with us and it was good to be able to be with the family. Stephanie was great to work with and we really appreciated her help. Would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time at Pirates Booty for my birthday bash! The house has everything you could wish for and then some. There was plenty of room for my entire family of 10. Really appreciated the many private baths. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was  very clean...something we don't always see in a beach house, and we've been to several. The views of the beach and Gulf were amazinginly beautiful. The beach sand was pretty and white, clean. Quiet street in a private neighborhood in the Plantation. We will certainly return to Pirates Booty.
