Nice, comfortable house. Nice pool and fenced backyard. Two blocks from the beach, and five minutes from retail stores and restaurants. Private and quiet area. It was a good getaway.
Our stay was great! We came down for Spring Break with 4 teens and our little guy. Our family had a blast. The property was lovely and we were able to comfortably enjoy all of the amenities. We rented a beach cart to cruise around and the distance to both bay and beach was no problem at all. Very quiet neighborhood.
We loved the property! Beautifully appointed and had everything we could possibly need. Loved how laid back the island was. We enjoyed the beach and pool.
Love this place. Will be back. No need to take your own pots and pans because this cottage has it all! Very clean, very relaxing and will continue to re-visit for sure!
We loved spending our beach vacation here! The cozy but modern house has everything and more that you could possibly need. We loved relaxing by the beautiful pool. This house is centrally located so it is only a short walk to the beach or the bay. The owners of this house have thought of everything, there’s even a kayak for those who want to do some paddling around the bay! We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.
We loved the house and location. It was great having a fenced in yard for the dog. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and on the front porch. We will be back.
Beautiful property! Very quiet and private.Clean. The pool in the backyard is your own tropical oasis. Just a couple blocks walk to the georgeous beach. Only a 5 minute walk to the bay to watch sunset. Perfect vacation! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Decent Christmas and New Year...
Not really happy with my vacation in this little island, not to
many things to do, location of the house is not like I expected to be honest with all the garbage houses around, I was feeling like a ghetto...but overall I enjoyed the time that's all the matter.
The outdoor space was amazing...it was perfect for our family and kept the kids entertained for hours! Just a short golf cart ride or walk to the beach and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The living area and kitchen were spacious and open and we never felt cramped...the only drawback to the entire trip were the mosquitos that seemed impervious to sprays but hey, that's Florida I guess!
We had a great stay.
People have various levels of cleanliness, what one person thinks is clean, another person might say its filthy. This house and grounds I felt was very clean and well kept. I have a higher level of expectation for cleanliness than most people.
Pool was clean, house and grounds were clean.
Very private and quiet. The outside fenced in area is a good set up with pool, pool patio, shower, grill, loungers, and the outdoor patio couch
And the fact that this place is dog friendly is amazing. The back yard fenced area is bigger than the pics portray, in my opinion.
It seemed like a 5 minute walk to the beach, easy peasy!
We will return to this house for sure!
This home was perfect for our family of 5 on our beach vacation! The house was better than pictured and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We like to cook most of meals and the kitchen had everything you could possibly want. St. George Island beach is beautiful, quiet and right down the street. There's is also plenty to do in town just a few minutes down the road, but not so much that it's overwhelming. The owners were friendly and communication was fast and easy! Highly recommend!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here & love the convenient location to either the beach or bay. We rent a golf cart & can pretty much get anywhere on the island (except you can't go past 11th street) towards Ocean Mile condos. Ate at Paddys & Blue Parrot almost every day & my kids love the private pool in the backyard! We will definitely stay here again next year!
Property was as described. Clean and well maintained. A bit of a walk to the beach, but that was priced into the cost. Overall a good value and we would stay here again.
We love the quiet location, warm/comfortable home. Took time to relax and rejuvenate. We will be back next year (family growing so will need a larger place).
Katie and Emily, you have done a fabulous job with this place! Your so lucky to have it, not sure I’d be able to rent it out cause I wouldn’t want to leave!! LoL Anyone who considers staying here will not be disappointed! The online pics do not do it justice! It’s absolutely beautiful and there is not one thing extra you would need to take as far as towels and cookware/silverware/knives/pots n pans etc., these two ladies have thought of everything and they leave you wanting nothing but the enjoyment and blessing of staying there. Very peaceful with just a hint of water moving from time to time from the bay. The beach and bay are so close and no probs at all getting to them. We did not want to leave…😓 absolutely love the open concept of the back yard with the lounging area and pool all being one and no worry of the fur babies getting lost with the fencing around the whole area which allows you to be able to be relax. Sincerely loved this place and will definitely be back but never soon enough for me! You wont be disappointed 🤗
The location, pool and comfy home made this a perfect vacation. Really appreciate they made the home feel truly homey versus just placing cheap items throughout. The beds are super comfy, nice plush towels to top of the line kitchen items. Thank you for sharing with us!
We had a fabulous time. The house is exactly as advertised and very clean. It has everything you will need. The pool is fantastic.
The owners are extremely responsive. It is a short walk to the gulf. We will definitely be renting this home again. Thanks for sharing your home.
Our group of 6 adults and a dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was nicer than represented in the pictures, very clean and fully stocked with towels, linens, kitchen items, trash bags, etc. The pool area was lovely with a sectional, coffee table, 6 lounge chairs and dining table. The pool had LED lights at night. Could not have found a nicer rental for our group.
Our stay was the best! Enjoyed the solitude so much! Beautiful beach just a short walk away. Spent everyday poolside. Loved the green egg grill enough to order one! The cleanliness and amenities were top notch! Thank you!
We loved our stay at Bestie Beach Therapy. It was perfect for our family and significant others and our puppy. Enjoyed bicycling, ocean, pool, and relaxation. We would love to visit again someday.

Weekend getaway
The house was well laid out and nice furnishings. We had a few issues but since we only stayed the weekend I let them go. The biggest drawback is there is no view of any water neither bay nor ocean. The front porch is quite small with just 2 chairs. The owner was very nice.
