Very comfortable home to stay at and great location if you value beach access and close proximity to town. Second straight year we rented this location and will likely make it a third next year.

Property had all amenities as advertised! Host was quick to respond and was close to beach that was never too crowded the week we stayed. The pool was a great escape when we had some red flag days. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies as well.

Sea Gem is a wonderful house in the Plantation! Our host, Sheryl, was so helpful, friendly, and always available to answer any last-minute questions and offer recommendations for restaurants and things to do. For us, this house held special memories because we vacationed there often in the 1990's with previous owners. To be able to revisit the house with our grown son and his family made it even better this time around! The house is located just a short walk to the beach. The private pool is right in the front yard. All the beds are comfortable with super soft sheets; the bathrooms have great water pressure in the shower, and the main living area is nice for relaxing after a long day! The kitchen is stocked with all kinds of utensils, pots, pans, bowls, and glassware. You can't go wrong with Sea Gem for your next trip to St. George Island, Plantation, Florida!!! Thanks again to our wonderful host, Sheryl!! We hope to return someday soon!

We had a wonderful time at Sea Gem. The place was clean and comfortable. The pac n play was nice for our toddler. Conveniently provided. Just bring sheets for it. Pool was nice for the small kids. The boardwalk to the beach was super close. Cheryl was nice to deal with. She made sure we had everything needed. Also kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Highly recommended.

This property was just perfect for a relaxing vacation. Just steps away from the ocean, and with a lovely pool to relax after spending the afternoon on the beach was just what we needed. The location in Plantation was ideal for walking our dog too. This was a great find for us and would definitely like to return. Communication from the host was perfect and check in easy!
