About this property

First Tier Paradise - 50% Discount on Monthly Stays - December January February

Thai Sabai is beautifully furnished and offers all the amenities of a well-maintained and well-equipped home away from home!

Located on a first tier lot with an adjoining boardwalk to the beach in the exclusive St. George Plantation, Thai Sabai will not disappoint!

This home is perfect for one or two couples, or a small family, looking for a cozy place to escape, executives who need to stay connected with high-speed internet while away, or writer/professionals seeking a home with an inspiring view of the Gulf from a dedicated work space.

Guests have access to the many amenities in this private gated community featuring 24-hour security, a fitness center at the clubhouse, two community swimming pools, three tennis courts, including two pickle ball courts, over ten miles of paved dedicated bike and walking paths, as well as a 3,200 ft. long paved privately-owned/public use airport landing strip.

This recently remodeled 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath private residence will be offered for a limited period each year. Monthly fall, winter and spring rentals are preferred.

Weekly summer rates are offered, as well as five-night minimum stays, with weekday check-ins encouraged to allow guests to spend the entire weekend enjoying the island entertainment.

Designed and built by the current owners who spent many years in Thailand and India, this home is furnished in a unique and contemporary Asian style. Handmade teak furniture, oriental carpets on hardwood floors, and Asian accents throughout give this beach home an elegant and exotic vibe on Florida s forgotten coast. "Thai Sabai", loosely translated, means 'true freedom and perfect well-being.’

The top floor (3rd level) features vaulted ceilings with open living, dining, kitchen, office, and sitting areas flowing onto decks with outdoor dining, charcoal grilling, and lounging space.

A downdraft stove on the granite bar facing the gulf ensures the appointed chef will experience the best views in the house while preparing meals for family and friends in a well-equipped kitchen.

This spacious home offers the option of casual seating for six at the bar or more formal/holiday dining for eight in the separate dining area.

Other amenities include 2 large flat screen TVs (one on the top floor, one in master bedroom), Free high-speed internet, a piano, electric fireplace, and a telescope. A collection of DVDs, books, games, and puzzles encourage the right balance of unplugged relaxation along with the ability to keep in touch with your business or family back home.

The lower floor (2nd level) features 3 bedrooms including one master suite with a queen-size bed, access to the outside deck, and an elegant en-suite white marble bathroom with jetted tub and large walk-in shower.

The other two guest bedrooms: one with a queen-size bed with gulf views and deck access; and one with a full-size bed and wall-mounted Roku TV, share an updated Jack and Jill bathroom.

The spacious bedroom level decks offer a covered porch swing, hammock, sitting areas, and sundecks with lounge chairs and cushions. Enjoy sun or shade and a gentle breeze with the soothing sound of the Gulf as pelicans and dolphins pass by regularly!

Ground level amenities of this premier first-tier home include parking on concrete underneath the home, an enclosed hot & cold water shower, and multiple faucets for sand and salt control. Located adjacent to the bike path and beach easement, there is also a connecting boardwalk from the house to the beach.

This house does not have an elevator.

SGI first trip
We wanted to take our teen kids on a relaxing beach vacation and Sabra’s Thai Sabai on SGI did not disappoint. Great views of the gulf from the porches and easy access to the beach. The house was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for our stay was provided from the kitchen to the storeroom full of beach supplies. Sabra was very easy to communicate with and always answered any questions quickly. Whole family thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Cannot wait to go back.

Great location in a lovely home
Very well appointed home with a well equipped kitchen. We like to cook so that was important for us. We spent most of our time out on the two decks facing the beach. The upper one is in full sun; the main deck had shade & sun with multiple seating options on cushy furniture including a large hammock. The beach is easily accessible and wasn’t crowded. Due to the unusual 25 mph winds and super high tides we just used it for walking in the morning and late afternoons/early evenings. Inside the home you have plenty of space to spread out. The large dining table and the kitchen peninsula with five counter chairs offer ample dining space. We did jigsaw puzzles on the table and ate at the counter. The neighborhood is quiet with paved paths all through the plantation. Easy to walk and bike. There are two community pools available. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We had a relaxing and fun girls trip!

Family Beach Vacation
A great place for a quiet beach vacation. Beach was a 30 second walk from the house. The Beach was not very crowded, we were able to set up at the same spot every day. Kids had blast boogie boarding, seashell collecting and sand castle making. House was clean and plenty of room for family of 5. Host provided use of umbrellas and beach chairs which was an extra bonus. House was in a gated community which was nice; the area was quiet and neighbors friendly. Restaurants in town were limited and there was only one mini grocery store (piggley wiggly express) on the island.

Mom's Celebration of Life
The property was incredible with the view....not smack on Gulf but perfect view from windows and decks. Great short path to beach....Crabbing for bait crabs at night was grandsons fave thing. View of stars is remarkable since it is a black out community....so cool. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but we managed to get in beach time, boating, fishing and crabing and see the stars. When it poured we had a entire closet full of puzzles, board games, movies etc. Don't forget to go into Appalachacola! Our host was fantastic and I felt completely comfortable.,

Great week at SGI! Our family loved the proximity to the beach. If we weren't on the beach we were on one of the outside deck areas. The kids loved the hammock and the adults always found the shade with a view of the water.

Excellent experience
The property is perfect! The walk to the beach is maybe 60 yards. The views from the balconies are great. The house is decorated very thoughtfully… it feels like staying in someone’s home and not a rental. Sabra does not skimp when it comes to the amenities. Great cookware, TVs etc. She is quick to respond to questions and is very accommodating. When asked how it rated vs any other beach property at which we have stayed, my kids said they don’t want to stay anywhere else. I would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful, well-maintained beach "home!"
Great place to unwind and just relax with family here. Beach is really close and uncrowded, but if you want to just hang out at home, the views are still beautiful from the many well maintained, comfortable balconys of this home.Host responds quickly to all questions or needs as well.

Just book it!
I’ve been going to the gulf for 30 years. This house is one of my favorites. For me, the most important part of a beach rental is the common space, both inside and out. This house has a great living space on the 2nd floor where you can either all choose to be together or use one of several different seating areas with no walls between. The seaside deck on the 1st floor is amazing! There is covered space in the shade as well as some sun seating/lounging. I have never rented a bad house but rarely leave and say I would go back to the same place. I’m already thinking about booking here again.

Thai Sabai is a great place to stay on St. George Island!
We had a wonderful month long stay at Thai Sabai. The home is even more lovely than the pictures show. Sabra got back to us right away when we had questions. The home is clean and has everything you need. It is so close to the ocean, with a great wooden walkway. The decks are furnished with comfortable tables and chairs for enjoying a good book or eating your evening meal with the sounds and view of the ocean. We enjoyed daily rides on the bike paths and also used the community pool and pickle ball court. We enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time at an amazing place, peacefully listening to the ocean waves, watching Pelicans and Dolphins going by and enjoying the warmth of this beautiful island. Long Beach walks and relaxation on one of the many porches with stunning views, watching birds and loving life. Sitting at the fireplace at colder January nights and enjoying a shower in this stunning master bathroom. Nothing short of a dream place. Thank you Sabra

Loved Thai Sabai
The home is amazing. Sabra has decorated and renovated this property impeccably. It feels like a home, not a vacation rental. We lacked nothing. The kitchen is as well stocked as my own. There were even cotton balls in the bathroom. Sabra was kind enough to be in touch with me personally when the track of a hurricane was still uncertain and offered to delay our seven day vacation for a few days until the track of the storm became more definite. Great stay!
