Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Fish & Dog Cottage for your fishing trip. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. A sharp fillet knife is definitely a must when cleaning the day's catch, and we're sorry the kitchen inventory fell short during your stay. We will be completing a full kitchen inventory and will replace any dull knives as well as restock any missing or worn cooking utensils and cookware. Guest feedback like yours helps us make improvements for future stays. We're glad you stayed with us and hope to welcome you back to the river again soon! -St. George Island Vacations

Beautiful!

Our stay at this home was truly exceptional! The property is absolutely beautiful and perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway. We brought our boat along and the dock made it incredibly convenient for us to tie up when we weren’t out exploring Dog Island. One of the highlights of our stay was the bed swing on the porch. It quickly became our favorite spot in the mornings for a peaceful start to the day, and in the evenings, it was the perfect place to watch the stunning sunsets. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and picturesque vacation spot. We can't wait to return!
