We had a wonderful stay at The Sandy Turtle! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches like doggie bags, dog bowls, wine and beer coolers, and a convenient outdoor shower.We especially loved the gated patio—perfect for our dogs to hang out safely without worrying about them running off to the beach. The enclosed loft turned bedroom was also a great use of space.We’ve been coming to St. George Island for over 20 years and have stayed in many row houses—this is definitely one of the best. Even though this was a short trip for us, we truly enjoyed it and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
