Old friends catching up

This was a lovely place and so convenient to things on the island. Could have used a couple more chairs on the porch. We had a great time and we would rent this place again. Thanks

Great location - house needs some work

The location cannot be beat. On the beach! Walkable to everything St. George has to offer. We loved the location of the home. The house itself feels like it needs a facelift - new showers, appliances, one of the beds. The property manager was very easy to work with. I feel the price fairly reflects what you get with this property. We would not rent again.

Spring Breaker

Even during spring break season the beach still had that private beach feeling!! We love SGI overall but I would not recommend for teenagers who need more to do than renting golf carts. We try to keep SGI a secret from our coworkers, lol. Will be a yearly trip

Loved It

This property is right on the beach. The view of the ocean from the living room and sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise was refreshing. We found everything to be just as advertised or better.

Great condo, with two bedrooms rooms and a loft, so lots of room. Overlooks the Gulf and within walking distance of the light tower and shops. Great location and highly recommended.

Happy Days

We absolutely loved the proximity to the beach. St. George Island provides a beautiful peaceful experience in November. The house has the wear and tear that you would expect from being right on the ocean but was what we were looking for with our group.

Nice place, GREAT view

The views are nothing short of amazing. Very short walk to the sand. Plenty of cookware, silverware and small appliances. After a week of being there though, I am exhausted from climbing stairs.

Almost Perfect

St. George Island is fantastic location set between touristism and reclusive. Happy Days is in a great location right on the beach near local restaurants and not too far from other entertainments. We got everything, we were looking for in rental with two complaints. One the house sways significantly when the wind blows or people are walking around. Two the cleaning staff between guests failed to catch on that the dishwasher was not working. This had been going on for a while since there was food particle or crud on just about every dish in the house. Add insult to injury, when we discovered the dish washer was broken and the cause of all the dirty dishes, the maintenance man stuck his head in once, declared it fix, and did not appear or respond again for the next 3 days after we found it still left crud on dishes and reached out.

Summer break from life

We went down to St. George’s Island for a quick, early summer getaway. Happy Days was in a central location on the island and close to all the shops and restaurants, so it was convenient and quick to walk everywhere we needed to go. The location, directly on the beach, was fantastic and we sat and watched the people and dolphins hanging out and playing around in the surf, when we were out on our balcony. We loved everything about this house and it’s location. The beach area in front of the house was never really crowded and always seemed quite and pleasant. We hung out on the beach every day, and enjoyed the peace and quiet daily. The communication with VRBO and Vacasa was very good and they were quick to respond to us, when we had a question, very good hospitality. We will be back for another stay in a few months, such great memories.

our stay at Happy Days

We just spent a week at this house and we enjoyed or visit. The location is very convenient to the beach and to island retail. We foujnd the house nice and clean but it is definitely in need of a refresh of finishes. The hardwood floor on the main level needs refinishing, many of the windows have insulated glass with broken seals so they are cloudy, most of the windoews don't have screens in them and we were there when the weather was great for opening up windows. The kitchen is not very well equiped and there is not a single sharp knife to be found. The king size bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable.

Right on the beach!

Location, location, location. Right on the beach. With a wonderful panoramic view from balconies on two levels. The house was spotless and the interior decor and furnishings far superior to any of the other homes we checked out. Comfortable beds, good linens, clean, well stocked kitchen (appliances and cookware only -- absolutely no food supplies, not even salt and pepper or aluminum foil). The only drawback was how close you are to neighbors in the rentals on both sides. If they're loud or leave lights blazing all nigh in violation of local ordinances, it really does make the experience a whole lot less pleasant.
