Thank you for your stay and for the compliments. I owe the compliments on the space management to my wife who spent hours upon hours redesigning this SGI original into a great space for large parties and she never lost sight of how she wanted great views throughout. Mission accomplished. Thanks.
The house is perfect for our family reunion of multiple ages . Easy beach access just steps down directly to the sand. You get both a beautiful beach sunrise and a sunset each day. The pool is sparkling and inviting. The beds are comfy. The kitchen is well stocked and ample for our family reunion. The downstairs bedrooms were a little warmer than the rest of the house. There is plenty of easy parking and the house is close to the Lighthouse and Piggly Wiggly Express. Check in was easy and clear instructions. The rental agency was local and had good communication. We truly enjoyed our stay
Thank you for your review and your business. So sorry we could not accommodate the extra day requested but let’s figure it out when you return. We are happy to offer return guest incentives.
The host was amazing and easy to work with. The house was beautiful—very clean and in a great location. The sleeping arrangements are ideal for a big family or group. Truly an amazing vacation experience.

Thank you for your lovely review. Please come again. Oceans Nine is a little slice of heaven on earth and we love to share it with people who enjoy the lifestyle St George Island offers.
Location is perfect, beautiful views, great beach for walking. Big location for bigger familes and groups. Listing stated that the location is accessible but the elevator was not working/in use, it is also for cargo not people. Bring extra bodywash, shampoo, hand soap ect... as we were only given a small amount. If they had beach towels we did not find them. Small negatives that did not damper our great vaccation. We would rent again!

Thank you for the review and the opportunity to address your points, all valid. When a house like Oceans Nine rents, we might have 4 guests or 24 guests. We try to anticipate what the average guest party size is going to be. This is how we prepare baths and some kitchen items.
Since your request, we doubled towel count from two people per room to four per room. These are for pool and bath. Large beach towels should be provided by guests.
Kitchen stocking has changed since Covid. Most management companies do not recommend leaving “basics” as we did prior. So most everything we provide can be close to 100% guaranteed safe and sealed. The Piggly Wiggly is a little over a mile away and has everything else.
Also, any guest can call Fickling if more of anything we provide is needed. We love turning negatives into positives and people who give us feedback as you did, allow us to improve with each and every guest stay. Thank you for your business and please come again.
Our family of 21 (10 adults, 11 grandkids) spent the week here and could not be more pleased! We had the best time. The views are magnificent, the home was immaculate, and communication with the host was phenomenal. We enjoyed our stay immensely! Would definitely recommend this home!

We appreciate the review and so glad you were able to experience what drew us to the show property a few years ago. Gulf Coast Vacation Properties is a great property management company and we will pass along your compliments to them on how clean they keep Oceans Nine.
House is great and location is amazing. Felt like we had a private beach at times. Walk in and out to beach each day, no need to tote a ton of things...just run back in to the house. Plenty of bedrooms and baths for our siblings week at the beach. Kitchen is well stocked and many more games and beach items than are listed in the description. Had a couple maintenance issues but Steve and the management company were very responsive and accomodating. The only thing that would have been nice (since we cooked most days) would have been basic spices, cooking needs. That may be a requirement of the management co. but the kitchen is wiped clean so you will need to bring in everything and dispose of everything when you leave. Hated to throw out so many unopend items and not leave all the spices, oils, etc for the next group coming in, but those are the rules. We had a fantasic time and would stay again.

Thank you for taking your time to prepare such a thorough review of Oceans Nine. Prepping to avoid issues and responding quickly when needs are two of our goals 24/7/365. So glad you understood this and thanks for the kudos. We will pass along to the Oceans Nine management team who work hard to make sure that you can relax. Please come again.
Our Family of 18 had our annual vacation on St George Island @ this beachfront home the first week in June 2025. We had ages 7 to 80. PROS: The location is great, right on the beach and was very comfortable for beach life. Pool is adequate for children with outside shower/bathroom plus a large table for outside eating. The grill is a plus as well. There are 2 large refrigerators/freezers in the kitchen, a small ice maker & a large electric stove/ oven with overhead vent. 2 dishwashers were great! The facility was very clean. The outdoor deck space was great for lounging etc in cooler parts of the day. Views from the inside den/deck were phenomenal with dolphins, pelicans, seagulls etc seen daily! There were adequate spaces for 8 cars. Some of the bedrooms downstairs had mini splits which cooled well. CONS: This is not a modern open concept beach home, but a renovated home with several additions, stairs & step ups. It is advertised as a 9 bedroom home but really 6 bedrooms with several bunk rooms & pull out sofas. There are several rooms that do not cool well and need fans. It is not as spacious as the pictures depict. There are stairs that might be difficult for those with ambulation problems. The umbrellas on the deck have seen better days and with gusty winds were unstable. The advertised downstairs game room is not air conditioned and is very hot during the day. It was not used at all during our stay.

We absolutely appreciate when guests take the time to provide feedback which we can respond in writing to but also take away action items to help us always make Oceans 9 the best 9 bedroom on the beach front.
To be clear, we do describe and show pictures of all 9 Bedrooms. We also discuss the renovation of this SGI original home. We show pictures of each room so bed type can be understood.
Top floor has 5 bedrooms (2 kings, 1 queen, 1 triple twin and one bunk). Each living room provides a queen pull out sofa in addition to bedrooms. 4 baths service the 5 BR.
Lower floor contains four bedrooms(3 Kings and one bunk). 3.5 baths support these 4. The house has indoor games with AC and a larger game room was built in our former garage and it has an open air flow concept with fans as needed. If it gets too hot, ten steps away is the beachfront pool.
We replace outdoor furniture annually due to heavy winds and salt air.
Our lift is going to be installed very soon for assisting people who struggle with a flight of steps. Good suggestion.
Thank you for coming. If you come back, you will see lots of new additions. We generally replace outdoor items in the spring.
Great house for our large family. Great location and view. Plenty of parking Lots of bedrooms and baths. Kitchen well stocked with cookware but don’t expect much in essential items. Bring everything. Very basic starter supplies. Two refrigerators and dishwashers which is great for large group. Large cooktop and oven. Not much storage for dry goods. Bathrooms allot one towel per person. Might want to bring extras. There are two living areas inside but neither large enough for everyone to gather. Decks are large outside tho. We were there during a tropical storm so had to spend our time indoors unfortunately. Host was responsive but they use a management company on island that we never heard from. No instructions on storm preparation but we knew what to do. Beach is close and walkable. Not much in the way of shopping and restaurants on the island which we knew but be prepared. You’re not running to the grocery store close by. Relaxing views. We’d come again. Hopefully without a tropical storm.

Thank you again for taking the time to review Oceans Nine, our property manager and me! We all work together to deliver an experience worthy of a top rating.
St George Island is the anti-crowded beach destination, which is what we so love about it. While an unusual gulf tropical storm happened to greet you, and we are sorry that occurred, it did not rise to the level that our property manager would involve themselves. They are always on call to help, but unless winds top 45 mph, which closes the bridge and results in evacuation, they do not proactively call guests.
We will add these notes to the greeting they send.
While shopping and dining options are importabt to many, we find that most visitors to SGI are looking for family time, beach time, pool time, boat time, fishing time, and occasionally some like to zip over to St James Bay for golf, tennis and/or pickleball courts, all of which are open to the public. This is a destination to unplug, and most major retailers are an hour away. Our island grocery store usually carries 99% of our needs and the fresh seafood trucks a block away have the rest.
I apologize for the towel issue, as this was addressed previously but missed by our housekeeping team. There should be four per room, not two and we will address this again, but all guests should know that we team up with a property manager to respond to local needs so none should ever hesitate to call them. Usually the need will be addressed and very fast if during business hours. Hope you will look up Oceans Nine again. Happy to offer a discount to compensate for the weather disruption if dates allow.
First off, every review about this property is on point. The host went above and beyond to communicate with us concerning questions we had about the property (even while he was out of the country). All communication was positive and accommodating. We booked this property with many "must haves" required. We wanted enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large extended family, we wanted to bring our pets, it had to have direct access to the beach, private inground pool, and plenty of space to not feel crowded. We were surprised and elated to find out that the indoor AND outdoor spaces provided many options to congregate. My family all agreed that this property exceeded our expectations. Our goal for this trip was to all gather and enjoy each other for the whole week that we were there. We did not go anywhere to "eat out", we used the outstanding kitchen and outside grill to satisfy all of our culinary needs. So, I have no recommendation of any of the restaurants on the island; but I will say that any groceries that you need to prepare meals are all available on the island. We highly recommend this house for large gatherings; it will not disappoint.
