Great Family Trip to St. George Island

Our stay was great! We came down for Spring Break with 4 teens and our little guy. Our family had a blast. The property was lovely and we were able to comfortably enjoy all of the amenities. We rented a beach cart to cruise around and the distance to both bay and beach was no problem at all. Very quiet neighborhood.

Great House!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here & love the convenient location to either the beach or bay. We rent a golf cart & can pretty much get anywhere on the island (except you can't go past 11th street) towards Ocean Mile condos. Ate at Paddys & Blue Parrot almost every day & my kids love the private pool in the backyard! We will definitely stay here again next year!

Bestie Beach Therapy — A Great Place to Relax

We loved spending our beach vacation here! The cozy but modern house has everything and more that you could possibly need. We loved relaxing by the beautiful pool. This house is centrally located so it is only a short walk to the beach or the bay. The owners of this house have thought of everything, there’s even a kayak for those who want to do some paddling around the bay! We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.

Christmas at SGI

We loved the house and location. It was great having a fenced in yard for the dog. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and on the front porch. We will be back.

Property was as described. Clean and well maintained. A bit of a walk to the beach, but that was priced into the cost. Overall a good value and we would stay here again.

awesome stay

We had a great stay. People have various levels of cleanliness, what one person thinks is clean, another person might say its filthy. This house and grounds I felt was very clean and well kept. I have a higher level of expectation for cleanliness than most people. Pool was clean, house and grounds were clean. Very private and quiet. The outside fenced in area is a good set up with pool, pool patio, shower, grill, loungers, and the outdoor patio couch And the fact that this place is dog friendly is amazing. The back yard fenced area is bigger than the pics portray, in my opinion. It seemed like a 5 minute walk to the beach, easy peasy! We will return to this house for sure!

Decent Christmas and New Year...

Not really happy with my vacation in this little island, not to many things to do, location of the house is not like I expected to be honest with all the garbage houses around, I was feeling like a ghetto...but overall I enjoyed the time that's all the matter.

Outdoor Space!

The outdoor space was amazing...it was perfect for our family and kept the kids entertained for hours! Just a short golf cart ride or walk to the beach and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The living area and kitchen were spacious and open and we never felt cramped...the only drawback to the entire trip were the mosquitos that seemed impervious to sprays but hey, that's Florida I guess!

Bestie almost the best.

The kitchen has very nice utensils, everything you could want. They also have lots of everyday needed items not just the bear necessities to get you started. I have two minor suggestions. Would be nice to have some little tables by the pool lounge chairs to put your book or drink on while lounging in the sun. The gate is a pain to close and latch from the inside. You have to lift up on it to get the bar in the latch. Either it needs to be tightened on the left hinge or a handle needs to be installed in the inside. I have a dog and it needed to latch so she wouldn’t get out. Don’t know if the pool has a heater, we didn’t ask. Because of the weather it was a tad chilly but we endured. Otherwise it’s a beautiful house. It was our second time staying there.

Absolutely peaceful!

Katie and Emily, you have done a fabulous job with this place! Your so lucky to have it, not sure I’d be able to rent it out cause I wouldn’t want to leave!! LoL Anyone who considers staying here will not be disappointed! The online pics do not do it justice! It’s absolutely beautiful and there is not one thing extra you would need to take as far as towels and cookware/silverware/knives/pots n pans etc., these two ladies have thought of everything and they leave you wanting nothing but the enjoyment and blessing of staying there. Very peaceful with just a hint of water moving from time to time from the bay. The beach and bay are so close and no probs at all getting to them. We did not want to leave…😓 absolutely love the open concept of the back yard with the lounging area and pool all being one and no worry of the fur babies getting lost with the fencing around the whole area which allows you to be able to be relax. Sincerely loved this place and will definitely be back but never soon enough for me! You wont be disappointed 🤗

Peaceful retreat

Our group of 6 adults and a dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was nicer than represented in the pictures, very clean and fully stocked with towels, linens, kitchen items, trash bags, etc. The pool area was lovely with a sectional, coffee table, 6 lounge chairs and dining table. The pool had LED lights at night. Could not have found a nicer rental for our group.

Weekend getaway

The house was well laid out and nice furnishings. We had a few issues but since we only stayed the weekend I let them go. The biggest drawback is there is no view of any water neither bay nor ocean. The front porch is quite small with just 2 chairs. The owner was very nice.
