we could see the bay at a distance but we couldn't see St George Beach in the oppisite direction because the house faced the Bay not the beach. the beach was only6 minutes from the VERBO. Also the lighthouse was close and there were plenty of shops and eating placed. The VERBO was spacious, clean and had nice balconies facing rhe bay. it was decorated beachy and rooms were big.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The host, Jennifer, was responsive from the very get go when we checked in. My son and I loved the location because we had easy access to the bayside as well. At night during low tide we could walk out into the bay and catch blue crabs. It’s also great because you are close to the state park as well. The house was clean and had everything we needed including beach accessories. I definitely recommend staying at this property!

Cute Place!

This house is perfect little getaway place for a small family. The decor was adorable and well placed! All appliances worked. The parking places were tight under the house, so we had to park our truck and boat on the road side (there was plenty of room there!). The backyard are could use a little bit of tree trimming, but overall this place was perfect!

It's a simple and beautiful home. It's older and smaller than the homes you'll see on the ocean side of the island, and it feels very cozy. The perfect size for me and my husband and our two corgis. You walk up the stairs and feel comfortable and right at home. There are so many windows that let in lots of natural light, and yet the landscaping and natural vegetation surrounding the home make it feel very private. The street is quiet without a lot of traffic. It's a very short walk to the bay and an even shorter walk to the public beach access. We like to visit SGI during the off season, and we met a few neighbors in the evenings walking our dogs - they were very kind and nice as well. The view of the bay is second to none. We spend hours on the screened in porch watching the eagles and the herons fly back and forth. I always look to book here first whenever I am planning our late-February trip to SGI. Jennifer is a great host and very responsive.

Furniture could be updated and more comfortable. It would be nice to inform renters about the amount of steps not easy on seniors! Other than that beautiful view of the bay and well stocked kitchen.

Pre- Covid- lockdown retreat- great rental.

We were able to enjoy this delightful retreat, just in advance of various state Covid lockdowns. With many local amenities closed, the house provided a great rest and retreat for us, bald eagles, the golf cart, and the various decks we are a great getaway for our Midwest family of four. The dual suites were another plus as our teens did not feel like second fiddle With the full washroom connected to the bedroom. Book with confidence as this is a great Vrbo.

Beautiful home and great location!

My husband and I along with our 2 Golden’s took a trip down to one of our favorite spots and had the pleasure of booking this perfect home. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. The location was perfect; seating out on the decks enjoying the bay view with a cocktail in the afternoon or coffee in the morning. As well as just a short walk with our dogs to the beach. Perfect!! Thank you for sharing!,

What an amazing place!

The home and property were beautiful and perfect. We knew it backed up to the state land on the bay and so that was one of the reasons we booked it initially but the views once we got there were better than we imagined! We could see a bald eagle nest from the screened in porch. Incredible. The home was spotless and very well maintained. We were very comfortable there and so were our dogs. The walk to the beach takes minutes and we made that walk often while we are there. The street is quiet and the neighbors were all so polite. We love spending time on SGI in the “off season”. I’m so glad we chose to stay here for our trip this year!

THERE IS BLACK MOLD IN ALL THE AIR VENTS AND IN THE BATHROOM. We reached out to the host, and never got a response. Very disappointed. The outside was a little messy and ungroomed. The house itself is cute, but the house has been let go and needs a lot of TLC. We will not be staying there again.

We had a wonderful stay on St George Island! This vacation property is in a perfect location for a short walk to the beach and beautiful views of the bay. The back of the property is adjacent to preserved land and was great for watching the bald eagles, great blue herons and song birds. The screened in porch is tree top level. The house had everything we needed from a well appointed kitchen to yoga mats and beach chairs. The beds were very comfortable and provided a much needed rest from real life. Beautifully decorated and “beachy”, It is a well used unit and showed some age and use. We were very happy with our stay and look forward to the possibility of another visit.

Could have been perfect

This house is quite nice, well laid out, and comfortable. The view is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the property isn't being well maintained. The screen porch, which is why I booked it, had huge detached panels of screen. The beds are comfy but are ruined by pilled sheets (which were once really nice cotton). The hammock is completely torn in half. The location is great and I wish it was better maintained because if it were, I would book here again.

Pleasant, great location, a little outdated and benefits for better cleaning

Generally, we had a very pleasant time. The house has a great location. It is in the secluded wooded area with 5-minutes walk to the beach. House itself is a very nice place for 2 couples or a family of 4-6 people. It has fully stocked kitchen (although addition of cork opener and placemats/tablecloth would be nice). Although, the dining table is covered with the sticky paint, something should be done about it. The beach gears in the shed, such as nice beach chairs and a trolly wagon cart, are a great addition. Of note, a better general cleaning is needed. We noticed a lot of dust, specifically on the light fixtures. A cleaning and better maintenance of the outside areas, including decks, is a must.

Nice location; house and check in need help

Nice location with a good view of the marsh from top deck and decent furnishings. The house was rather dirty, fridge leaks, and the water stands in the carports because of poor grading. The carpet on stairs from entrance to second floor is badly soiled and smells. Rest of the hard woods on second and third floor are fine. VRBO sent us the wrong door code, and the owner took a day to respond to our requests for alternate instructions. We had to shimmy through a second floor window left open to get in the day of arrival. House needs work, and VRBO and owner need to get their act together.

Deceptive Rental

This rental was not as advertised. No hot tub, screened in porch has completely torn window screens, stairway filthy and smelled like cat urine, bed sheets were pilled and old, barbecue wheel fell off when using, grass unmowed, outdoor area under house was unsightly with torn unusable hammock, tv cable did not exist and when contacted the host never returned call nor addressed the issue when messaged. A totally unacceptable rental!
