Guys, I'm trying to find a place to go with my wife that's on the water but somewhat remote. Preferably somewhere I can slip the kayak in and do some descent fishing. Does anyone have any suggestions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Don't know how remote you want, there's not much remote in GS, but if you put in at the ramp near milepost 8 on Fort Morgan Road there're several miles of bay shoreline between there and Navy Cove condos with no development whatsoever - not a house. Best fishing is probably on the west side of little point clear, in Navy Cove.
There is a spot near Navy Cove (the water, not the condos) where you can put in closer (you'll see it from the road about 3/4 mile east of the condos). This time of year you will need to be at daybreak to catch much in that shallow water. Picturesque, but there's just not much shallow water fishing this time of year.
You might do better over towards Pensacola at Big Lagoon. You can put in at the State Park and work east into the NAS flyway.
If you want surfside, put in at Veterans and work east or go just short of the Fort and work either way.
Mexico Beach or Port St Joe in Florida.
Appalachicola
Sorry for the vagueness in my question. Just looking for a small cabin style place that's not far from the water. That can be Miss. AL. or FL. The remoteness isn't all that important, I just don't won't to be in the cluster of the summer time beach crowd. Hope this helps and thanks again
Joe Wheeler State Park has some cabins right on the water on the Tennessee River. There is a submerged hump 100 yards offshore loaded with bass.
Wind Creek State Park on Lake Martin.
Wait till September and go to Ft. Morgan, it is not busy then.
Salt water
If has to be saltwater, Appalachicola is definitely back in the mix.
Or Suwanee FL, now that is the middle of nowhere with good fishing.
Fort Morgan peninsula is plenty remote for most folks, but finding a place on the water is not easy.
But this stretch of shore on the backside fits the bill and has some good bay fishing within easy paddle.

Appalachicola, Port St. Joe, & Mexico Beach are all good choices, Mexico Beach has the best beach and it is also the best place to eat. Appalachicola doesn't have much of a beach but it is a good place to eat. Port St. Joe is the largest town of the three. Mexico Beach is my choice but it doesn't have much of a shopping area. All have good fishing.
Mexico Beach would be my choice. Fishing is good but women generally don't like it. My wife and daughter were bored to death. I loved it.
Something on St. Joseph Peninsula would be good for fishing (the State Park even has a few cabins for rent but availability can be tough) but it is the picture of remote. Between Port St. Joe and Appilachicola, it is 30 miles to either one for a grocery store or restaurant so you bring EVERYTHING that you will need when you go. The beach there has won Beach of the Year a couple of times and the bayside is good for fishing too. Stargazing is the only nighttime activity for non-fishing folks.
Mexico Beach or the state park between Port St Joe and Appalachicola. It is remote. I was thru there in late may and even saw a dead black bear on the shoulder of the road. The state park cabins are heavily booked but good fishing there.
