Just WOW!

What a phenomenal place to stay!! The perfect price the perfect location everything just perfect. We have been coming to the island every summer for almost 30 years. First as children and over the years as adults but always our mother and my siblings. We’re all grown now and this February we lost our mother. This will be the first year we gathered with out her.

Perfect house for our family

With four bedrooms and an open floor plan, this house had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay! Heather was very helpful too! The decks out back with ample seating were a great place for sitting in the winter sun and catching up with our out of town family members. We would definitely stay there again!

The living space in the center part of the house was pretty awesome. The outdoor area deck behind the house was great! Great view of the water....and a great place to hang out. Very short and easy walk to the beach! All of the bedrooms in the house need a little update. Very basic mattresses. No night stands or bedside tables. There was paint peeling from the ceiling in the master bathroom. Just some little details we noticed could be easily fixed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I just feel like that house needs a little love. PS, The owner was great at communicating with us.

Family time

This was a great place a short walk to the beach. There is a big porch on the back with a sea view. Short distance to dinning and state park for hiking. Just remember to take bug spray if hiking. We love St George very quit and peaceful place to spend a week to unwind.

Execulant

We had a great stay at Sharks Bait!!! Everything was as it said in the description. The walk to the beach very short. The house was very clean with everything we needed. Heather responded quickly to questions we had in a very timely manner. We had a day of rain and wind because of the hurricane but it gave us some much need relaxing with a book. I would highly recommended this rental. Plenty of room for at least 8. Thanks Heather for a restful week!!!

Family Vacation

I took my children and their family to St George Island for our annual summer vacation. This is 2nd time that we have stayed in this rental and always fully enjoy our stay. Enough room for everyone to have a little privacy. Just a short walk to the beach. My son would load his truck with all our beach accessories and meet us at the walkway, just to keep us from having to carry so much since we take everything except the kitchen sink. My grandson is 16 and he would take the short drive each day to go down to the old bridge to fish from it. We felt very safe in this area.

Great location, easy check-in and communication

My husband and I booked this property last minute to get away! We have a Labrador dog - she’s our “baby” - and we were so pleased we could bring her. The house is dated, but has obvious upgrades and overall it’s a great place. The bed in the master was very comfy, and televisions had Roku so we easily logged into our own streaming accounts at night. The beach is a SHORT walk away, and you can see the ocean from the front deck. We had anything we needed it there, from the bikes that we were able to ride on island trails and the grill and stocked kitchen. I was able to do a load of dirty laundry with the laundry soap left by the owner. I loved sitting out in the front deck and smelling the sea beeeze. overall - A really great place to stay!

Family And Friends Trip to SGI

We had a great time staying at the Shark Bait house. It had peekaboo views of the ocean and was a very easy walk to the public access. The house was super clean and communication with Heather was perfect and easy. We had fun putting together puzzles on rainy days and enjoyed lounging around on the porch, enjoying the breeze. The food in SGI is okay. Mostly bar-type food. So, it was nice to get some groceries and cook in a couple of nights and the house had everything we needed to do so. (Side note- the piggly wiggly had better prices and selection than the Sparks). And you have to get doughnuts one morning- but get there early (or go a little later and don’t wait in line) and take cash.

We had an amazing experience at this VRBO! Communication with the host was prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. You can tell the owners put care into the details. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Shark Bait Gets a 10

Wonderful deck with three seating options. NiceView of the ocean. Very breezy when we were there making enjoying the deck even easier! Great kitchen area with seating for 8 at the island. Nicely decorated. Kitchen had all "tools" we needed -- and we ate every meal, except one, there for the week. Would choose this one again!

Great Location

The home is a short walking distance to the beach access. Great location & plenty of parking. Home was clean. 2 towels, hand towel and face towel were provided on each bed for guests. Bring your own beach towels. Plenty of sitting area inside & out for hanging out or meals. You can hear the waves from the balcony at night. Two recommendations would be more/better lighting in the kitchen and a larger trash can. We would recommend and stay again.

Nice beach house for family

This house was great for our long holiday weekend. By far the best thing about the house is the back deck. It’s clearly new and updated - has 4 sitting/eating areas, tons of space, and like-new. Half of it is coverwd and there’s 2 large tables to eat. The main flooring inside was replaced shortly before we arrived and still needed some tidying up but didn’t affect our stay. The island wasn’t put back together so two folding tables with bar stools was our only indoor eating space (not very practical) but we didn’t really have a choice. For the age of the home, it was generally very clean. Shower curtains were overdue for replacement. There is no garbage disposal and trash can is pretty small but we made it work. Overall a very good stay and I would recommend to others!

A month in Shark Bait

My wife and I spent 4 weeks in Shark Bait. We had a great time, we love SGI so much and the weather was perfect. We went out to eat quite a bit (Paddy's, Blue Parrot, Beach Pit) but also fixed some meals and we had all the pots, pans and utensils we needed. The home is located in the East Gulf Beaches and is near the 11th street public access boardwalk. We used a beach cart to haul our gear back and forth. the boardwalk does not have steps, rather ramps at each end. This made it easy to pull our cart to the beach. We loved the deck, both the covered and uncovered sections. We spent many hours out there reading, working on puzzles, just relaxing. We ate some of our meals out there as well. Thanks Heather for a great month.
