Hi, Jerrod! We're appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again!
This was a great house for a family get together. We had 3 individual families and my mother in-law here and we loved it. The pool heater and the hot tub weren't working, but we still enjoyed the patio area and absolutely LOVED the dock areas. There is plenty of room to be together or to sneak away for some quiet time. We saw lots of porpoises off the dock.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a nice week, 2 main issues that would have made our stay better were the loss of use of the hot tub and the gas grill not being available for 90% of our stay. The dryer also ate anything with a string, so you should have it checked on, we lost 3 bathing suits to the toothy monster.

Thank you for taking them to leave a review. We are so very sorry for the inconvenience of the hot tub having a leak and not able to be used, as well as having to schedule the gas company to repair the gas line in order to use the grill. We will have our appliance tech take a look at the dryer and see what might be going on with that. Again, we apologize for the inconveniences that you experienced during you stay. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and would like to offer you 10% off of your next stay.

Our stay at above the cut was beyond expectations! This was our best experience in SGI in the last decade. Gulf Coast Vacation Properties have The greatest attention to detail and exceptional customer service to ensure their clients are satisfied. I asked for the house to be impeccably clean for my immune compromised father-in-law's 90th Birthday Celebration and so it was. One minor service call was immediately addressed to our satisfaction. Thank you for making this important milestone celebration a success. See you next year!

This house is super spacious and enough room for a huge crowd even though there was only seven of us five adults, two small children. Thoughtfully and beautifully built home, but keep in mind there’s a lot of stairs for extra tall ceilings. Had a small problem with the heated pool but Management company addressed it quickly. Loved fishing off the dock!

We appreciate your note about the stairs—those tall ceilings do come with a few steps! We’re also glad our team could quickly address the small pool issue so it didn’t slow down your fun.
It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed fishing off the dock—that’s always a favorite pastime for our guests. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime for another relaxing stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks at Above The Cut! The location and views are stunning all day long. The property is well-kept and clean. We had a couple minor mechanical inconveniences that we were fairly reimbursed for, but overall - it was the best family get-together we have ever had!

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at Above the Cut. There were 10 of us. Our party was 5 college age young adults with parents and grandparents. The location on the cut was amazing because we love fishing and knew we could catch a lot right off the dock of this property. The sunsets were SO beautiful from the many levels of decks and the amenities were great for what we needed. The pool and hot tub were also perfect. It was a great stay.
