About this property
AMAZING VIEW! Fun, Pets Welcome, Steps from Beach
A Ruff Life is the quintessential Beach Cottage! Ruff features stunning ocean views, a fantastic deck, and is just 100 steps to the white sands of the Gulf. Its location in center island makes it the perfect place for families. After watching the dolphins from the deck or the soft sand, its an easy walk to the center of the island and all of the shops, restaurants, lighthouse, and activities St George Island has to offer.
Ruff Life, as the name suggests, is not only perfect for people but is pet friendly too! No reason to leave your fur family behind, Ruff has mats, flooring, and a gated deck so your furry friend can hang out with you before heading to the beach which is steps away!
Ruff features a well appointed kitchen, laundry, Wifi, Hi-definition TVs, DVDs, movies, and wireless speakers for streaming your favorite beach tunes. The open feeling and bright colors bring the beauty of this special island inside so even a rainy day is special. Take a quick walk to center island and pick up doughnuts, visit a restaurant or bar, or grab a souvenir or groceries. Walk home and enjoy wine on the deck as you watch the magnificent sunsets change the color of the ocean and sky. Ruff Life is the best of what St George Island has to offer--paradise.
There is plenty of room at Ruff Life with both a King and a Queen bedroom sharing the downstairs bath, and a loft featuring a full bath and 2 large twin daybeds with great ocean views.
*Ruff is pet friendly and allows (1) dog for a $75.00 non-refundable pet fee. If you have an additional pet please contact me and we can make it work. We also do a $300 refundable damage deposit

About the host
Hosted by Tom Moses/Sheryl Clouse
I discovered St George Island on a family vacation back in 2010. I instantly knew that St George was someplace incredibly special and that my pack belonged here. By the end of that week long vacation, I somehow found myself in a real estate office starting a search for my piece of this paradise. By the end of that stay I had found the perfect place and had a contract on the property now know as Ruff Life. Renovations, time and many wonderful memories have led to me making SGI my permanent home. Though I occasionally miss the conveniences of Atlanta and big city life, this is truly a paradise and I feel incredibly lucky to live here and to be able to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
Ruff Life was a unique opportunity. Though the home was in disrepair and required a total renovation, the location was incredible. Located across the street from the gulf, protected from storms by natural sea dunes, and featuring an incredible view protected from future development--it was perfect! After some substantial renovations Ruff Life was born.
What makes this property unique
The open and airy renovation to this home and the cheerful beachy colors bring the island beauty in! The deck is a favorite perch and multipurpose hangout. The deck perch offers the perfect place to eat dinner, watch the dolphins play in the calm waters, or engage in island people watching as the occasional golf carts go by. Close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants, yet secluded enough for a glass of wine with your favorite people, Ruff Life really has the best of island living.
