Exceptional

This place was excellent. Plenty of room for 12 and the elevator was very handy for older guests or heavy grocery loads. There were some ants, but not really a big deal. The only negative was the grill not working. It was rusted out and needs replacing.
This was a great family place, and the location is spectacular. I am not sure that the description regarding a pool on the property is clear --there are 2 other pools available off the property.
Exceptional well stocked home. Excellent pans and cutlery. Well stocked cabinets (salt & pepper, coffee filters, etc) Great porches with on all three floors. This house provided everything we needed to have an enjoyable and relaxing vacation.Nice location near Sikes Cut.
Beautiful Home and great beach
It was just the two of us, but the home could handle a large family gathering with ease.

We were all thrilled with the house, the location, the relaxing and activities. This stay was a perfect fit for adults and children. We absolutely hated to leave.
We had 14 family members staying at this house for a week. The location was perfect. The house was roomy and well equipped for family time.
Would stay here again.

Our stay at st george was amazing and always a pleasure to stay on sailfish drive. This house didnt dissapoint either with the amazing views and open floor plan on the main level. The suite in the upstairs had plenty of space and amazing porch to look out to sea. Would come back again to this house if I could do it all over again.

First the good: perfect location! Great beach. Good communication with host. The bad: house smells musty. Entire house needs cleaning and updating. Water bugs in kitchen and bathroom. Too much required at checkout. Cost 175 to use elevator.

Forgotten Shores Properties and Sea-biscuit what a great combination!!!First FSP was great to work with and their customer service was excellent. We didn’t have any issues but all our correspondence and questions were answered promptly!Seabiscuit property was very nice and full of amenities that made our stay stress free and maximum beachfront access made for a perfect relaxing vacation!Our family loved it! We’ll be back soon!
The location of Seabiscuit is great, a short walk to the cut. The layout and size of the house is perfect but the house itself is getting a little “tired”. Needs to be updated and the kitchen needs new pots and pans. If you rent it be sure to bring your own!
The property management people are great and communicate when you need them.

Great Place
We have stayed at several homes on SG, but this one is far and way the best one. The home is clean the location is great, the views are spectaculars what can I say. The weather was horrible and with 4 grand kids I was worried. But the home is so large that the kids had plenty of room to play and the minute the weather broke we we on the beach in less than 3 minutes, that's how close it is. The kitchen is very well stocked you felt you were at home. Great porch to eat lunch on and watch the Dolphin play in the water. If your looking for a place that will not give you any surprises when you open the door look no further, book it now!

Thanks Robert....I felt terrible that you had the worst of the summer weather. I hope you will come again.......lets try to make that work. Your comments about the size of the house & the way it is laid out, I hear over & over. No one feels jammed up...there is always a place to go hide.
Hank & I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Hope to see you in 2014! Cathy

Beautiful house and excellent location! House had several things not working or worn out or they broke while we were there. The customer service was excellent and they fixed some problems and offered replacements for some others. They were very responsive and easy to work with! We thoroughly enjoyed the beachfront decks and were entertained almost daily with pods of dolphin performing for us and the thrill of the Navy jets flying by! Nature is very present on SGI and the beaches of clean, full of shells and shore birds fishing! This was the perfect house for enjoying nature and the beach during the day and playing cards together in the evenings. Beds are super comfy and we enjoyed using the elevator! I highly recommend this lovely house!

Reviewer Comments:
Beach access was very nice. Interior paint, fixtures, cabinets, some furniture, Microwave falling out of the cabinet, etc.. are in desperate need of updates. Still overall location is what sells the place. I will say I have stayed in several houses on St George island and this was not the best.
We loved that Seabiscuit is directly on an uncrowded beach in a gated community. The house is furnished with quality items that are wearing well with back to back bookings. The pantry had all the pots, pans, broiling and baking sheets to cook for our group of 19. We put food in the kitchen fridge and all the drinks in the full size pantry fridge. Plenty of dishes and serving bowls/platters. We did make use of the elevator for moving in/out luggage, groceries and other items. It is worth every penny. The beach towel count when we arrived was 13 and when we left was 15 because I left 2 more. There were plenty of sand toys plus we left more, also. The most comfortable bed is the king memory foam in the Penthouse. The least is the futon mattress in the media room. We made use of every bed, including the two queen sleeper sofas,except the trundle under the Penthouse daybed because of the size of our group. The PM, Forgotten Shores was very responsive. Prior to check-in they honored my request for additional towels which were waiting. At check-in, we requested extra pillows and blankets, which they brought either that day or the next. We ran out of propane just as our bbq was done and more was delivered the next day. I provided a list of what I considered minor maintenance items (to be addressed between bookings as time allowed). We are partners in a vacation rental so we understand what can and can’t be done in a few hours between bookings. This was a wonderful family vacation!

We love the island!
Seabiscuit is in a great location on the island and has a short boardwalk with access to the beach. The kitchen supplies do not accommodate feeding a large family. The cookware and supplies are outdated. There are plenty of dishes to eat on, but cooking to feed 15 was difficult with what was available at the house. The floors were not very clean, our feet were black if we went without shoes inside the house. The sliding glass door to go out on the main level was so difficult to open. You had to barely open it and then push it the rest of way open with your hip, it wouldn't slide. Overall we have stayed in cleaner, more accommodating houses on the island for our large group. Probably would not rent this house again.

This is a nice house but needs a little TLC. It is very well stocked and in a great location. We ended up being there during tropical storm Big Bertha and it sucked all the air out of the place and it was hot in there through that. It did cool down some once that passed. It needs some pest control services for sure. Lots of room for multi family and the beds were very comfortable.
First some positives:good variety of pots and pansnice front porch w/ open deck good walkway to beach (but last step is steep)NegativesDirty, ants and cockroaches from the first day, boogers on the wall in one of the BR'sInadequate towels 1 small to medium towel and 1 hand towel per sink, towels are cheap and of poor qualityThis place says that it accommodates 20. We were a party of 10 and it was a bit crowded. I can't imagine what it would be like with 20. A little like an anthill, I guess.The elevator is balky and difficult to use.The sliding glass doors are in bad shape. There are 3 in the living room. Two of them are blocked by furniture and appear not to slide at all. The 3rd moves but the lock dors not work.In the MBR the sliding glass door is difficult to open and close.Also in the MBR the door to the bath does not close.The water pressure in the showers is too high to the point of being uncomfortable.The washing machine is the loudest I have ever heard.OverallExperience tolerable but at this price point (2000/day), this place is outrageously overpriced.PS.This did not effect the quality of our stay but I feel I should point it out.There is a large crack in the kitchen countertop. This is almost directly below the MBath door which does not close. MBR floor creaks.MBR sliding door is very hard to move. All of this suggests possible structural instability. Reccommend evaluation by structural engineer or architect.

We really enjoyed our stay here. With 3 couples, there was more than enough space for each of us to have our own places to relax - together or apart. Each floor has a great deck for sunrise and dolphin watching! As well, the top floor is huge! A true suite. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen & loved the icemaker. We would definitely love to stay here again!
