About this property

Beachfront Oasis, Secluded Palm-Surrounded Private Pool, GolfCart Friendly Area

Looking for a true Oasis on the Island? Over forty mature palms, create a tropical-flavored hideaway with beach-front living, mere steps from the ocean, via your own private boardwalk: Breathe Easy provides the family-friendly home that will make your vacation holiday special. And, our Guests’ 100+ Five-Star Reviews prove it. The two living areas provide a generous number of seating options to accommodate your entire party. When not at the beach or enjoying the pool area, over-sized TVs are found in the two separate living areas, with Smart TVs also in the four king bedrooms.

Over 3400 sf means lots of room for extended families. Upstairs, the large, open-house plan includes a living room with over-sized couches and a 75-inch HDTV; dining for twelve; a well-equipped kitchen, with Viking 48" gas dual-fuel, six-burner range with double ovens, French-door refrigerator and farm sink. As the Reviews attest, the home includes additional seating and eating areas on both levels for a total open living area of over 1200 sf. The expansive balcony provides outdoor easy living, whether watching the dolphins or the kids playing on the beach or in the Gulf. Four bedrooms have king-size beds, with three having private bathroom access, for a total of four baths inside the house and an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The ground-level living area has a morning kitchen with an additional full-size refrigerator with ice-maker, as well as, another generous sitting and dining area. Bedrooms in this area include one with a king-size bed and the other, a children's bunk room, with two bunk-beds. The fourth bath is also located on this level with a large walk-in shower.

Breathe Easy's private pool, with water-fall and extensive sunning area, includes multiple chaise lounges for sun-bathing or relaxing. The pool is surrounded by dozens of palms and other tropical vegetation, creating a unique, very private atmosphere. (Pool heated for a fee of $450 when outside temperature amenable, with maximum pool heat at 85 degrees.) Breathe Easy encourages Guests to grill by the pool, with two large dining tables with chairs (comfortable for twelve) and both a Weber gas grill and another park-style charcoal grill, also in the pool area. The ground-level beachfront patio provides additional ocean-side lounging and eating areas. Both the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) and fish cleaning area are optimally located near the house and beach.

Please note that, although Vrbo has added a description of the property which includes “beach chairs”, due to Franklin County’s policy of Leave No Trace, Breathe Easy does not furnish beach chairs as a guaranteed amenity. There may be some chairs left by previous Guests, but because of the legal liability affixed to leaving beach paraphernalia on the beach overnight, Breathe Easy is unable to furnish beach chairs. Thank you.

Security cameras, which cover the public, exterior areas of the home, are in use.

Saturday check-ins only, please.

Excellent Two Weeks

Stayed on the island for two weeks straight. House was perfect in every way. Owners were excellent to work with and helped with a curveball in our plans, super responsive. Great place to chill and enjoy the beach and walking distance to everything. Can't go wrong staying at this property.

Fantastic Family Fun!

The house was perfect for our family of 9. Everyone had lots of space, and you can’t get any closer to the beach. The views from inside were fantastic too. The pool was a great place to cool down in the afternoon, and it was a lovely area to enjoy a meal together as well. We all agreed this was our favorite by far!

What a great find

We loved everything about this house. The location is great but the layout of the house along with the decor is so relaxing. I really love the knew kitchen and great stove. The pool is so relaxing and even when it is hot, you can get shade. Our favorite part of this house was the covered porch and great set up out there. Having coffee in the morning and then cocktails at nice was so relaxing! Of course our dogs loved this house as well!

This beach property is exceptional!

Firstly, our group agreed the home presents much better than pictured (which is not always the case). It is well appointed, comfortable furnishings; very nice kitchen - private pool, and only steps from the beach. The common areas are spacious and comfortable. The beach was uncrowded, clean and quiet. Our family had plenty space. The homeowners are gracious and responsive. We hope to return!

Great family retreat!

Our extended family had a wonderful vacation at "Breath Easy." In my opinion the owners really go above and beyond to make you feel like guests and not "renters." The little touches of soap products, plenty of paper goods, bottled water, coffee, plenty of towels were all noted and appreciated - you don't get those things with the rental companies. The house is well-made, you can't hear conversations through the walls! The ac works great! We had a couple of minor little maintenance things come up and the owner was right there immediately to address them. My husband was very impressed when the power went out (as often happens on this island) and owner was investigating a generator within an hour of it being out. Truly excellent hosts of a lovely home.

Great island location, open floorplan

10 adults shared this lovely home just steps from the beach and loved the patio (beachfront) for sunrises. Open floor plan made life easy and two levels with two separate living areas made it so easy to store food and groceries. Two adults had to sleep downstairs in the bunk beds, which we knew weren't designed for adults, still they made the best of it. The other rooms were lovely and comfortable. The house has a great back patio with pool that we used a lot. Road bikes to town for fresh seafood, donuts, bait & tackle. We would stay again and are grateful to be able to rent from Owners who respond well and care for their visitors. Thank you for being flexible during the storm, your kindness was greatly appreciated.

Paradise on the Gulf

We visited SGI to Breathe Easy for our 2023 Family Vacation. Ages ranged from 13-88. We were a party of 8. Breathe Easy exceeded our expectations from day one. The house was huge, plenty of space to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen from spices to plate wear and untensils. The view from the back porch and side porch are breathe taking. We watched the beautiful sunrise every morning as well as watching dolphins 10ft from the shore playing everyday!! They have plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, and towels you dont have to bring any of that with you. The owners Bob and Sharon were amazing and very punctual to any of our needs. We are already planning our trip back. If you want a slice of heaven and a beautiful beach house Breathe Easy is your pick! 5⭐️'s across the board!!!

Great Beachfront Property

This is our second stay at this property in the last 3 years. It was a wonderful stay again. Many improvements have been made since our last stay - new windows, new roof, remodeled basement bathroom, new and remodeled bathrooms on the main living space, new outside shower station/outdoor sink and a few new pieces of furniture. The kitchen is fully stocked with almost everything you’d need. Our favorite part about the kitchen is the large kitchen table where we can all eat meals together. The pool area is great with shade if you want it or sun. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated. Another reviewer mentioned that the dressers were too small but we had 6 adults and 5 children and had no problems with dresser space for everyone’s clothes. The beach towels available for use were awesome! The beach is literally right outside the back door which is awesome for littles and all the stuff we bring to the beach for them. Overall, it was another wonderful visit and we would come back for a third time!!

We made the best of the less than ideal conditions.

Access to the beach was excellent. The property maintenance was poor: Landscaping was overgrown and untrimmed The downstairs exterior entrance way was filthy The soffit and was in a state of decay The outdoor shower is ineffective The hose bib outside near the fish cleaning station does not work The windows are dirty and many of seals are broken causing the windows to fog distorting the view The interior and exterior grills do not work properly The storage box for pool toys is filthy The pool deck needs power washed The interior was generally dirty The ice maker in the refrigerator does not work properly The pool needs painted and the stairs are rusty The description of the property should indicate the downstairs living area is below ground level with poor views, low ceilings, and a small bathroom with its only access through the bunk bedroom. On our first morning we requested the owner to have the pool ladder fixed and the pool area cleaned. Sharon knocked on our door at 7:30 AM telling us that she wanted us out of the house immediately. We able to defuse the situation and did get the ladder repaired but the pool area was never cleaned. In my opinion, this could be an amazing property if it were maintained properly. We will not stay here again.

Open Floor plan beach house

We traveled with 3 families - 5 adults and 5 children, and there was plenty of room. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs with king beds, each has their own bathroom (but only 1 had a real functioning dresser, so bring hangers or something to put your clothes in). the downstairs had a bunk room that slept 6 and a bedroom with a full or maybe queen bed. Again, there was just 1 dresser and a small chest, which didn't really hold clothes for 7 people, but there was another bathroom and second full kitchen. The best things about the house are the numerous eating areas. There are literally tables everywhere, kitchen, around the pool, out back. The appliances were amazing and the kitchen was fully stocked, it even had a kitchenaid mixer which was awesome. Also, something we never thought of before, the fence and palm trees surrounded the heated pool, so when it was too cold and windy to be at the beach, you could still enjoy outside, since the fence and trees blocked the wind. A lot of homes have a pool, but they are right next to the beach with open fences. Great for a view, but not really practical when you are trying to escape the wind and blowing sand. The only thing I would change is dressers and adding a hot tub. But the house itself was amazing for large groups, for dining together, playing together, and cooking together. We also LOVED the covered back deck and spent a good deal of time out there. You seriously could not be closer to the beach No boardwalk needed, just walk a couple of steps and you are on the beach. this was awesome with potty training toddlers, just a couple of steps and you are inside. Convenient to town, but not too close to a public access. we drive our golf cart all around town, and we were the only people on the beach behind the home.

Pool is big and very private surrounded by over 45 palm trees. Owners Sharon & Ben are available and answer any questions you may have. Both families drove EV’s and a free charging is one mile down the road at Buccaneer Inn, and Duke energy has chargers in town. Recommend you rent a golf cart to get around town.

This property looked amazing in the pictures, but upon arrival, was even better in person. Beautiful, clean, amd spacing. The owners were amazing and attentive as well. Great communication and they pay attention to all of the little details that make a vacation stay special. The location is right on the beach and the house comes fully equipped. The in ground pool was magnificent and when they warmed it up it was a gamechanger. We had a party of 4 adults and 2 kids, but this place could comfortably house 12.

We cherish our vacations, too, and understand the importance of having a clean, comfortable, well-equipped home to make your holiday special.

Why they chose this property

We love St. George Island and hope you will, too. First visited in May 2008, fell in love with the Island and purchased Breathe Easy in July 2009. We also live on the Island and are available during your stay, if needed. If you are looking for a low-key, family-friendly piece of paradise, we believe St. George Island is it.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the balcony, watching the dolphins, while enjoying the sea breeze is one of our great joys in life. Add some friends and family to the mix and life can't be better.
