Angie was quick to answer any questions we had and super easy to work with. Went above and beyond to please. Would definitely stay here again. We loved the outside space, and our dogs enjoyed it as well.

Thank you for your kind review, Pat. I am so glad you enjoyed your thyme at Rosemary. We would love to have you again. Smiles!
This is very dog and their owner's dream come true. Plenty of room to run around. All stairs going upstairs to your unit have preplanned gates already built in stairs for your dogs. The unit has vinyl floors throughout. As you can see this unit is very pet friendly.This unit has 4 bedrooms, and you can sleep 2 in each room plus a couch. You also have access to 2 kayaks plus chairs for beach and more. There is parking for at least 4 cars. You are only two blocks from the beech. We have stayed in other units on SGI before, but this is the BEST.Thank YouAngie

Thank you so much for your review, Samuel. We are so glad you and your furry beach buddy had a great time. Smiles!
My family and I had a great time staying at Rosemary. The access to kayaks was a great addition. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all, and I loved that it was in the woods. It gives it a treehouse feel. Overall, we had a great time.
Overall it was a great stay. The only problem was there were dishes left in the dishwasher and some of the ones in the cabinets looked dirty. I rewashed them but the problem is the dishwasher. It needs to be deep cleaned.
Was just what we were looking for..mature tree shade, seclusion, privacy, space, outdoor living, fenced yard for dog, within walking distance to both gulf side and bayside beaches. Stores and restaurants on island very reasonable. We would stay at the Rosemary again!

This home was a short walk to the beach and bay, which was perfect for my fishing trip. The property manager was great and even allowed us to move our vacation due to a work conflict. Home was clean and had a great yard with a fence for the dogs.

Nice, secluded house close to the bay. Sunset on bay was great. Good fresh food at friendly restaurants with good service. Loved the front porch and outdoor shower. We'll be back.

Sammy & Angie
Great house! We were on SGI for the Chili Festival and the house offered plenty of room for everyone. We also enjoyed not having neighbors on top of us. It was a short walk to the Gulf and the bay. Everyone enjoyed sitting under the house in the mornings and afternoons.Great place for a group of friends to hangout for a long weekend!
Thanks for booking with us! We hope you had an awesome visit. Come back and see us soon!

About the host
Hosted by Angie Julian
Adventure isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. Inspired by my mother, who dreamed of traveling the world since childhood, I grew up exploring alongside her. Those experiences shaped my belief that travel is more than a getaway—it’s how we connect, recharge, and create lasting memories.
Sharing Rosemary with you is truly meaningful to me. My hope is that your time here becomes one of those unforgettable chapters.
Why they chose this property
I have always loved the beach and especially island culture. Crossing over from the mainland into a world surrounded by sand and water, adorned with twinkling lights and sea creatures that are all being watched over by a lighthouse is magical, mystical, surreal and yet very real.
St George Island has all the best the beach has to offer without the crowds. Even during the peak week of July 4th we can have our own space on the beach.
Rosemary has a vibe we felt immediately when we visited the first time. After looking at many houses, nothing gave the same feeling Rosemary did. There is a natural flow between inside and out with all the shaded living space downstairs. You have plenty of options to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings while being lulled by the sounds of the waves of the Gulf of Mexico.
What makes this property unique
From the moment we first stepped onto the property, Rosemary just felt right.
- A seamless indoor-outdoor flow that invites you to unwind - Expansive shaded living space beneath the home—perfect for relaxing after a beach day - Surrounded by trees, offering privacy and a peaceful, coastal breeze - Multiple spots to gather, lounge, and soak in the natural beauty
Whether you're enjoying coffee on the deck, listening to the Gulf waves in the distance, or relaxing in the shaded outdoor lounge, Rosemary is designed for slowing down and truly being present.
