Our home is located in a quiet low-density area of the island away from the public beach. We offer pool furniture for lounging, dining and having fun with your family.

We have a whole house water filter system by Culligan for great tasting water! Our home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms and expansive covered decks off each level! We have an elevator at each level to make arrival and departure easy. Up the stairs to the first level, you will find three generously sized bedrooms. Beach side is a spacious master bedroom and bath with your own private access to the large covered porch. Another beach side bedroom is the guest bedroom with queen bed with private access to the same covered porch. This level also has a fun kids room with bunk beds, rocker and their own private TV/DVD combo. A great spot to give kids their own room to play or lounge while watching movies. The guest bedroom and kids bunk room share a large hall bathroom, with new quartz counter tops, updated plumbing and lighting fixtures and a nice sized tub shower combo. The laundry room is conveniently located on this level with a washer and dryer.
The second level is an open concept living room/dining room and kitchen with floor to ceiling windows for amazing views of the gulf. From this level, you can see the sugar white sand beach and stunning gulf views. New sectional sofa and club chairs along with unique beach decorative accessories, new large flat screen TV, mounted to swivel for easy viewing of movies or sports games. The updated kitchen has new quartz counter tops and all new stainless-steel appliances. The formal dining area has large dining table with seating for eight, and the kitchen island has four bar stools. This great room is the perfect gathering spot for your family. Just off the great room is a bedroom with a king bed and a full bathroom with new quartz counter tops and updated plumbing and lighting fixtures. This bathroom is shared with the great room.
Last but not least is the large expansive covered porches, making for the perfect outdoor space to take in stunning sunsets and incredible starry nights. The deck has a large outdoor table for alfresco dining along with Adirondack chairs for enjoying beverages and a book. Our home has a boardwalk to the beach for easy and quick access.

Rooms were clean the Host was available when we needed her. The view from the sect facing the ocean was great we drank coffee every morning sitting on the deck watching the dolphins swim by. No hot tub we had the pool heated and enjoyed the warm water
Great home on the beach with a pool. Views are amazing. Very clean and beds are comfy! Great space for 2 families of 4. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic stay at The Best Thing Ever. It is a beautiful home with an amazing view and a wonderful pool to enjoy. Communication with the owner was very easy and all questions were answered quickly. Thank you for sharing your home with us and thank you for your service!
This property is amazing! The views are beautiful and the pool was fantastic. We had a fantastic trip and are looking forward to coming again. The owner was great to deal with and very responsive. Highly recommend.
Incredible home right on the beach with a huge, lovely pool and deck. Updated appliances and very comfortable furniture and beds. Property owner is a joy to work with. Recommend highly!

Thanks so much for your kind words. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay at our family's home Best Thing Ever on St George Island. We hope you visit again soon!
Really enjoyed the house and vacation on St. George. The house was in very good condition, being very clean with nice furnishings and no maintenance issues at all...including the pool and entire property. Very well-kept and conditioned. Property owner was attentive and checking in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going well, etc. The pool was excellent, the location was ideal IMO. It was just far enough towards the east end of the island and the reserve/park area that it was private and peaceful. On the beach... Groups of dolphins every day... Caught whiting, a shark, catfish, etc.... Was a great vacation at Best Thing Ever.

Thanks, Josh. So glad y’all enjoyed your visit to our home and SGI!
The house was just as beautiful as the pictures indicate. Everything in working order and spotless. Great beach access. Sugar sand beaches. Beautiful state park...don’t miss it. We had a girls retreat and all went back home rested and refreshed.
The rental agent and owner both responded quickly to any questions we had.
If you’re looking for a house on St George island, grab this one.

Thank you! We'd love to have back with us on your next ladies trip!
We loved this house. There were 8 of us and the house was the perfect size for our group. The pool was fantastic and much bigger than I expected. There were a couple of minor things while we were there and Allyson was right on top of it. She responded quickly and with kindness to everything. This is probably our 10th time to visit the island and St George never disappoints. If I had to give any negative feedback it would just be around the lack of tvs in the bedrooms. But Allyson explained that situation to me and we understood completely. Overall - 5 stars!
Best Thing Ever was the perfect house for us. We've stayed in several beach houses over the years and this is one of the best ones. What we liked most was the attention to detail. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of games. Great view of the ocean. Quiet area. Easy to find. The elevator was very handy in getting luggage from the ground level to the third floor. You cannot go wrong in renting this house.
This was a 3 generation family vacation. Bedrooms on 2 floors allowed the parents to be near their children and the grand parents on a floor to themselves. The pool was great, allowing the children to play and show off their swimming skills. It also allowed grownups to sit on chaired on the deck. We loved the ledge all around the deep end to allow you to walk and/or swim. The 2 balconies had shade all day because of the size and facing south. St George Island has lots of sandy beach and shallow pools near the house at low tide The chest in the carport area was full of toys and digging equipment. The children loved their bedroom with bunk beds and the beach themed items allowed for education, such as what is a lighthouse…Plenty of comfortable furniture inside and outside for the adults and the TV got all the football games on Saturday afternoon and evening.
This property was beautiful and the proximity to the beach was absolutely perfect. The pool was comfortable and so much fun! The house has basically everything you could want other than beach towels but that was indicated in the listing so we had ours :). The kitchen has pretty much everything you could want in terms of appliances too! The overall cleanliness was pretty good however, the bathrooms needed a little more TLC for cleaning in my opinion. We did have some sanitizer wipes and cleaned the toilets and tubs ourselves as we had small children that would be taking a bath and felt it was necessary. Another great thing was the communication. We had a minor issue with the grill that we were able to figure out but the owner got back to us almost immediately which is so helpful when you’re in someone else’s house. Overall I give this property a 5/5, it was lovely!
We had such a wonderful week staying at The Best Thing Ever! The pool allowed our children to enjoy swimming since there was a double red flag for three days due to high winds. The house was very clean and well stocked for our needs. The host was very accommodating and attentive to our satisfaction. We will definitely consider a future stay at this amazing beach home
We are an Army family and have loved St George and The Forgotten Coast for years. We love our time on St George Island and want to share it with other families that also love the peace and old time family fun that St George offers.
Why they chose this property
We love being on the beach and walking out the door to the beach and gulf. We chose our home because it is close to the center of town but far enough away that we don't have a lot of traffic or crowds. When we bought our home it needed some love and attention! We renovated and updated the kitchen and bathrooms and redecorated the entire house. We fell in love with the large porches and really enjoy spending family time on the porch while we watch the dolphins play in the gulf.
