Excellent floor plan for multiple couples.
Nice layout with each room having its own bathroom. Covered bar area was a great place to unwind after a sandy-sun day on the beach. The home is comfortable with plenty of space for 8 adults to spread out and not be on top of each other. The home is nicely decorated without being overly “beachy”. We’ve rented various houses on SGI for the past 10 years and this one is definitely a top.

Quick Weekend
This property was very nice and was a good fit for our short getaway. A couple of negatives: I contacted the property owner twice before we visited with questions and received no reply. I did reach out to Vacasa and they got back to me. The pool is supposed to be heated but it was not, at least it wasn't while we were there. Don't count on a heated pool. Otherwise, I would say everything else was as advertised.

A little Slice of Heaven
Great location and laid out well for a group. Has some great options to entertain, from the large patio, to the pool and backyard, to underneath the house. Especially like the four bathrooms, so no one had to fight over them. A very quick walk to the beach to watch a sunrise. Loved it all around. St. George Island has a lot to offer for such a small island.
