We genuinely hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future, where we can provide an even better experience. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities.
What a nice home to stay in. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds so comfortable. The living space provided everyone their own crash area. We had a puzzle on the coffee table going and Lego building in the dining area. Bracelet making at the kitchen bar. Enjoyed the outside space as well. Reading on the deck listening to the rain was very comforting. Our stay unfortunately was during a tropical storm. Between rains we were jumping in the pool having a great time. We did not get beach time, but the house was big enough for all of our activities. Set back away from the main road was really nice and peaceful.

We take pride in providing a peaceful retreat, and we’re glad you enjoyed the outdoor space and the soothing sounds of the rain. While we wish you could have spent more time at the beach, it’s great to hear that the pool brought you joy during your stay.
We’d love to welcome you back for another visit, hopefully with more sunshine next time!
Overall, the house was exactly what we were hoping it would be except for 2 things. 1st, the pictures showed just a sandy beachy area and no rocks by the bay in the back yard. But when we arrived, we found massive boulders blocking the water, which is not what the pictures depicted. 2nd, we ended up having to pay 75 plus tax per night to keep the pool heater on and it didn’t really heat the pool hardly at all which was disappointing. Also the pictures & information don’t really accurately show the layout of the home. But overall we did love the dock, the privacy of the home and the views of sunsets from the dock. It was still a great stay, but there just were things that could’ve improved a bit to make it a better experience

Caitlin, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. It’s wonderful to hear that you loved the dock, enjoyed the privacy of the home, and took in those beautiful sunsets. We understand how important accurate representations are, and we’re sorry to hear that the rocky area by the bay and the pool heating didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and your feedback helps us improve. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.
Pretty place, tucked away by the bay side of St George. The view of the bay is exceptional, and the house has plenty of room to meet as a family, or split up in groups as needed.
Please read the complete list of amenities. The pictures show the kayaks but they are not part of the rental, “that is on me for assuming they were”. There could be some minor upgrades. Some electrical outlets need replacing. Very lose connection which can be a fire hazardWould recommend this rental. We enjoyed our stay
