Perfect Beach Week

From the moment we arrived our stay at Smooth Sailing was everything we could have asked for. The added touched to the bathrooms and bedrooms amenities were very thoughtful. The beach is beautiful and very private feeling. Pool easy to use and enjoy, outdoor kitchen made cooking a family event. Plenty of seating, beverage refrig handy and breeze kept us all comfortable. We would love to visit the wonderful SGI home again.

Perfect House For Our Family

Family of 8 adults. House was perfect for us. This home has the best stocked kitchen I've seen! Loved the porches facing the ocean! Pool was nice temperature through entire stay. Only issue was ice maker stopped working. Prompt response to this issue and told to give it 2 hours, but it did not start working again. This was close to the end of our stay, so I let management know about it to be looked at before next renters came in. We enjoyed this house very much and would book it again. St George Island is our favorite place to be!
