This home was fabulous. Love the location and the view. Love having baby gates provided to keep a dog or child on the porch. Love the layout with great beach view from the Master bedroom. Can't say enough about this home... was a perfect rental!

Our February stay at Abiding Place was very peaceful and restorative! The house was comfortable with a beautiful view right on the gulf. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed walking or bike riding to the lighthouse and several restaurants, especially The Blue Parrot and Weber's Donuts!Forgotten Shores management was great to work with & responsive when we needed anything. We hope to make this a repeat destination!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
One of the bathroom shower/tubs did not drain, and wasn't very clean. Floors were sandy when we arrived. Furniture older and a bit worn. However, proximity to beach was great!
My wife and I stayed for a week for our Anniversary trip. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to get started, and for cooking when we stayed in. We loved the beach front location and can’t wait to return.
We had a great time at Abiding Place. The location is perfect for riding bikes and golf carting to all the local restaurants and shops. The view from the living area was breathtaking! Can't wait to visit SGI again!
Excellent location and access to the beach. Wonderful place. Perfect and very clean house. Very comfortable.

House was lovely. Location is great close to everything. Management staff very helpful!Thank you
We’ve stayed at this property before and loved it. Unfortunately we only got to stay two nights due to hurricane Helene, but the property was clean and we enjoyed the time we got to spend there. Hope to return soon.
The house was cheerful and clean. Loved the location. There was a small park just a short walk away. Everything you need is within walking distance.
Loved our stay! Planning to come back next year!

This review is music to our ears!! We'd love to host your return trip to SGI and wanted to let you know that all guests who returning to the same rental home at a later date receive a 5% return renter discount!
We made last minute reservations for a quick family getaway after my mother-n-law's funeral, and our escape to Abiding Place was wonderfully healing! It was such a bright, happy beach house and the location was perfect! We are planning on making it yearly trip! Thank you!!!

What a perfect fit this beach front property was for our family vacation! We wanted away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches to the west and we found a perfect vacation! Thank you Melanie for all of your assistance!
This property is exactly like the online pictures! Right on the beach and a short walking distance to most things on the island. The property was clean, stocked, and easily accessible. The chairs setting out on the deck were nice quality and made relaxing on the desk a pleasure. During our stay a light bulb was out and the property owners called to see if we needed it fixed. Overall a great place to spend a nice vacation. Will definitely be going back!

We had a beautiful time. The home was lovely well maintained and clean. Many beautiful accessories and I loved the layout of home. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and other rooms. Right out the door to the beach with two nice decks also with a pet gate made it nice to bring our little pug.
