Beautiful property on the bay with an awesome outdoor area. Great fishing nice dock with fish cleaning station. We could ride the bikes to the beach and light house. Would definitely stay again.
It's a wonderful house that actually feels like a home. Listing is accurate and the pictures don't do the view off of the dock justice. Kitchen was well stocked and newer appliances. Host was quick to answer any questions and communicate.There isnt anything negative to say about this rental other than I wish we had rented it for longer. cant wait to come back.place
Great property, awesome view. 2nd time staying at Sunset Retreat. The house and dock were great. The fishing from the dock was not so good this time but we definitely had a great time.
My family loved staying at this property. The pool, fishing on the dock, seeing the dolphins every morning and kayaking in the bag. Grandkids loved being able to kayak to the oyster beds and investigate. We will be staying here again, perfect size and so much for the kids to do!!
We loved the view from the main living area. It was a non stop view that didn’t disappoint. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and we ate all there except one lunch. Easy walk to the beach. Plenty of room and perfect with one dog accompanying us.
Our stay was wonderful and relaxing thanks to the host supplying all the comforts of home. So quiet and peaceful with amazing views. Even our dogs felt right at home - thank you so much for allowing us to include them on our vacation. We only wish this place was closer to home so we could come visit more often!
We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, the pool, and fishing from dock and all the extras this house offered! Loved that it was pet friendly! We’ve been to SGI many times but never end stayed on the bay before and this was a nice surprise and very relaxing! Only went to the beach twice since the house had so much to offer.
We really loved this property!!! The view was amazing...BEAUTIFUL sunsets!! loved fishing on the dock, saw dolphins every day, relaxed in the jacuzi and we enjoyed the swimming pool!! The owner was great to communicate with - quick to reply to our questions. Had everything we needed to cook our dinners!
We totally enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset view from the back porch. We wish it wasn't as cold ( it was in the 30's at night ) but we still had a wonderful time. We are looking forward to returning in the spring.
Nice property. a little inconvenience with water supply, but resolved quickly. Recreation area under house is very nice. Fenced yard for dogs was extremely convenient.
We had an excellent time at this location. The listing is very accurate and has all the accomodations one could possibly need for a relaxing stay at St.George Island. The kids fished off the dock every single day, even in bad weather. We also enjoyed the use of the bikes to explore the island . We are looking forward to a return soon!
Amazing. The house was clean and exactly as described. We loved jumping off of the dock, playing corn hole and pool, paddle boarding on the bay and watching the dolphins come right up to the dock. The view reminded me of a corona commercial! Very quiet and relaxing. Cannot wait to go back!
Loved the location. We were there to fish and this allowed us to fish off dock, walk to surf, and take a 10 minute drive to launch our kayaks at the state park. My only criticism-and this is really minor- was the TV. We weren't able to connect to anything but a few stations and could not log into Netflix to watch any movie. We didn't try very hard and never asked the property manager to remedy, so it wasn't a case of lack of response on their part. Kitchen was VERY well equipped too!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty!!! But decent.
After we cleaned the house it was more comfortable.
Quiet location. Beautiful sunsets. Nice pier
Hot tub has been neglected for a LONG time.
We added water (H2O was below filters) added chemicals and scrubbed the scum line. Filters need replaced unfortunately we only rented this place because of the hot tub and sunsets. Comfy couch and beds. Great TV. Great kitchen fully stocked.
The potential is there to have a truly wonderful rental but the cleaning crew needs replaced and the amenities need better maintenance.
House is as described. It was very clean and well furnished with everything you could need. The king size bed was very comfortable. A great area, perfect for sunsets, watching the boats coming in and out and dolphin watching. The dock was great for fishing from. There was new house construction happening next door but they were very respectful and quite when they could be. The only glitch was a water leak at the meter so we were without water for about 8-10 hours but it was fixed the same day. Communication with Heather was quick and easy.
A very relaxing vacation.
Everything was exactly as advertised. The views from the dock were perfect for dolphin sightings and amazing sunsets. No need to battle the crowds on the beach or pier because you have access to catching all the fish you want right in the backyard.No need to look any further for the perfect getaway for you and your spouse or if you want to bring the family down. Thanks for everything!
