House was very accommodating, lots of space for our family. We loved the heated pool, screened porches, location near the beach and beautiful view. House was neat and tidy, cleaning crew may need to do a more detailed deep clean, but overall our experience was great!

First can I say elevator!? It made getting everything inside and to it proper place so much faster. The layout is perfect and everything seems to be just where it should. A home away from home. The beach was beautiful and the pool was refreshing. Definitely “My Happy Place”

Glad that you enjoyed the property.we do have cleaning and maintenance available 24 seven. Don’t forget about your rental discount for the future. You do get a discount.
This beach house has an amazing layout and high ceilings. The elevator was such a great amenity given the Living spaces are on the top floor where all the views and light are best.
House was dated, not clean, broken furniture and umbrellas in the pool area, hot water didnt work in 2 of the 3 bathrooms. The host was responsive and respectful, but there were so many things wrong and gross that I was honestly looking to get some reimbursement for the trip. My friends even left early because of the state of the house because they had a small child. Disappointed with the experience. The island and location is amazing. The house itself, not planning to stay here again unless I have to.

This is not a true accurate picture of the property. It was cleaned. We also offered to have our Cleaner come back out and do any work for you. There was a storm that broke an umbrella and a a chair by the pool . Which we did get removed. They checked the hot water as well and found it to be working adequately as it is still today.
Beautiful home and such a nice and beautiful location. My family had fun. Had some issues with the cleanliness of the home (dirty floors, bathrooms, etc.) and also issues with the pool. The host, however, responds very quickly and sent someone out to check the pool. He would have sent someone to clean, however, at the time I didn’t realize that a cleaner would be willing to come back out. The host was willing to try to fix the situation each time.
My Happy Place is exactly that! It is such a beautiful home with all the amenities.This was our 2nd year to come to the island and as our family continues to grow, We needed more space this year, We had 8 adults and 2 infants and there was plenty of room for all to spread out. It was a great location as well. We love SGI!

We had such an amazing stay! Just a short walk to the beach- we walked to see the sunrise and hunt shells each day- loved the large table for a light breakfast and then headed back to enjoy the waves and sun. The pool was a nice incentive to get the kids back to the house and then we were able to do some relaxing afternoons before going out to eat at the awesome restaurants in the area!
The house screams history and the owner is doing a great job of tastefully updating it and keeping the character of the house! Thank you for this opportunity to share in your happy place!!!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us and the feedback. Glad you had a wonderful time. Don’t forget your Renter discount for any future rentals
House was spacious and well stocked. We found that several kitchen items had been put up dirty. When we turned the heat on, there was black matter that was blown out of all air vents on every level.
We had a great time and enjoyed the heated pool. Thank you for sharing your rental home with us. We live St. George Island.

Glad you had a great time and enjoyed the property. We let the cleaner know about the dishes. Looks like previous Renters had put some dishes up their self. Unfortunately, the heat hasn’t been on or needed in quite some time,that brought out the dust. so we went ahead and had the ducts cleaned. Don’t forget your repeat Renter discount in the future.
This house was perfect. It is an easy walk to and from the beach with amazing views from the porches. The elevator was clutch for unloading and getting the kids up and down. The pool was beautiful and clean and the house was stocked with anything we could need. The one small problem we had with the sink was addressed and fixed extremely quickly especially considering it was a sunday night. I will definitely stay here again when visiting SGI.

House was wonderful the elevator was a little hard to work sometimes but the property manger helped us to understand how to work it since you had to manual flip a button . Other than that the house was very spacious . The beach there was never crowered.

So glad you enjoyed your vacation and the property. We look forward to having you again as our guest in the future.
The lock did not work when we got there, but it was fixed very promptly and the elevator and TV’s are quirky just have to work with them.
We stayed here over 20 years ago as well and it is a great location for sure. Beautiful views and the new floors are beautiful. The outside grounds need better care a lot of trash from maybe other visitors , but that is an easy fix.
Hated to leave , very relaxing and the views!!!!!! Outstanding

Glad you had a great time on your vacation. Unfortunately, the battery went dead on your door keypad and we were able to put a new one in right away. Unfortunately, the week of your arrival our trash company did not pick up on our street for over a week they kept missing. They were blaming it on the continuous storms during their pick up days. Please don’t forget about your repeat the Renter discount in the future we hope to have you again soon.
Our family had a wonderful time staying at your house. It was close to the beach, could get everything we needed in a 5 minute golf cart drive, had an elevator in the house... and those views! The sunrises were beautiful.
the house was big enough to congregate and find privacy. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and pans one could need.
For those that needed a little help with the many stairs (the dog and me :) ) the elevator was a life saver.
A true relaxing vacation.

We are so happy that you had a great time on your vacation and enjoyed the property. We do our best to make it your home away from home. Thank you for renting from us. We hope to have you again soon and don’t forget your repeat Renter discount.
We enjoyed our stay at my happy place. The location is perfect directly across the beach short little walk. The views from the front porch are amazing. We did have a couple of hiccups but the owner was very responsive and sent someone out immediately to take care of them and they were small things. Everything is provided in the kitchen for cooking. The beds were comfortable. We did run out of toilet paper and had to make a run to the store unexpectedly but that's minor compared to the great time that we had in this beautiful home. It was the perfect getaway for my sisters and I.

NICE!!
The property was amazing and had plenty of space for the 10 of us. My only negative experience was the weather. But that no one can control. It was so windy at the beach all week that the sand just pelted us so bad we couldn't enjoy it. But we really liked St George island.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback on My Happy Place. We surely appreciate you staying with us! We are so glad you thought the home was amazing and spacious. We hate the weather was not ideal for your stay! We welcome you back to see us on the island anytime. Thanks again!
Great location with a short stroll to the water. Excellent viewed from the loft deck.
House was clean and as advertised.
My only woe was the Weber grill and the “state park” model grill. The racks were rusted, and I couldn’t find a wire brush to go to work on them. Wish I’d spotted that before picking up some charcoal.
Very relaxing and quiet house.
We’d definitely come back.

Glad you had a great time and thank you for renting from us . Don’t forget about your repeat Renter discount in the future. If you would given us a call, we could’ve brought you down something for the grill. The real gets used often in the summer, but the winter not so much. The property had been empty for a little bit and it is salty Florida and the grill tops rust very easily. Thanks again look forward to having you in the future.
Stayed one week with the family, with grandchildren from ages 2 thru 4. Management was prompt to respond to any issues to which they were informed. Several small appliances need to be checked (blender had a hairline crack in it), fish cleaning station was clogged prior to our arrival, and the pool area really needs some cool-deck applied, as it was almost too hot to walk on in the evenings. Still, the house was nice and one block from the beach.
