Great getaway

Back to the Beach was a wonderful place to stay! It is mere steps from the beautiful beach, and had many amenities. The eclectic decor was enchanting. The home was clean and well-maintained, and kitchen was very well equipped. Provided games and puzzles kept our family entertained every night! Beach chairs and bicycles kept us busy every day. We brought paddle boards to use in Nick’s Hole inside the Plantation. Best of all, Wendy made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Piece of paradise

Wendy was absolutely wonderful to work with - very helpful from prior to booking through the last day of trip- very responsive and a caring host! ‘Back to the Beach’ provided a relaxing and fun environment to create a memorable vacation with our family! The home is beautiful, spacious and clean. Bikes, kayak, beach toys/chairs so helpful to have accessible! Fun activities within minutes of our front door from pickleball, corn hole to the pool and fitness center. Our trip to SGI and ‘Back to the Beach’ will remain a special memory close to our hearts!

Awesome place to stay in St. George!

Back to the Beach was our favorite house we've ever stayed in on St. George Island. The rooms are oversized and comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked and the proximity to the beach was amazing. The house is very secluded yet right there at the beach access walkway. The house was clean and everything (like internet!) was in working order. We arrived to a thoughtful welcome basket which was greatly appreciated and all of the instructions for the house, access codes, etc. were clearly displayed. Wendy is a wonderful host and provides a lot of extras like bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and a cart - it was a dream to go to the beach and not have to bring those items. She is also very accommodating and responsive. 10/10 - great experience!

Wonderful family vacation

We really enjoyed our close beach access. We did put the umbrella and chair out for one in our party who was not getting in the ocean, but we enjoyed just jumping in the ocean for an hour or so and then running back to the house to rinse off in the outdoor shower and then returning to the beach to look for shells or just walk the beach. We used the bikes to travel on some of the paths and did use them to go to the pool one day when the seaweed got a little more than we could handle in the ocean and we didn't want to get the car seats wet. The pool is beautiful. I enjoyed time on the porch in the morning where you can see a little of the ocean, but the best part is that you can hear it. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen sufficient for all our meals. Wendy also had some coffee there that we tried and really liked. Wendy was very responsive to all our questions and communications. And we took her advice to eat dinner at the Blue Parrot which was very good. She also highly recommended a visit to the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve which I thought was really well done, and I am glad we did not miss that. We really enjoyed our family vacation!

Wendy was wonderful to work with, she messaged us on our way saying that the property was ready early! Great location, secluded, a large lot and a short walk to the beach.

Great house with lots of extras!

We have been staying at the beach for years and this property went above and beyond. The owner left bikes for us to use during our visit, along with beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for the kids (and carts to get it to the beach). The beach is an easy walk and there are hardly any people, even in June. The pool was nice as well - it is a nice walk or a quick drive. The house was great for our two families. The host was so kind and communicated with us before and during our trip. She gave us great suggestions on places to visit. The island is so charming! The one grocery store had pretty much all we needed! Hardly any people on the beach… amazing for Florida in June. We will be back!!!

Wow!! What an amazing secluded beach and house!

We took our kiddos there for spring break for a much needed rest and some relaxation! The beach is steps away, close enough for our toddler to walk on her own there! The beach was stunning, and isolated for us to enjoy ourselves. The house had such a modern beach vibe, and the living room was a great place for the whole family to get together on the rainy day and play games together. The scrabble game brought us all together! We will have to book again next year!

Holiday "Back to the Beach" Getaway

By all accounts our week staying at "Back to the Beach"met or exceeded all expectations. The home was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully accessorized. There were numerous extras available for use including beach chairs + equipment, beach towels, bicycles, and the house was stocked with many games. Our host, Wendy was available throughout the planning process and during our stay to assist us with our questions and needs. The location is wonderful. Just a very short walk to a fantastic beach. For the end of December we had some very good "beach" days. We had some wonderful beach walks and bike rides during the week. Our granddaughter enjoyed playing in the sand and collecting shells. This was our first visit to St. George Island. We met many people who are regular visitors and we all agreed that we would like to return. We enjoyed everything about the island including the shops, the restaurants, and visiting the lighthouse. This was a great family holiday getaway!

Our family absolutely loved this home!! It was so unique! Huge open kitchen and TV room with windows all around the entire room and beautiful views of the ocean. It also had two master bedrooms with king size beds and private bathrooms. The third bedroom had awesome full size bunk beds. Also, TV’s in every room! Our kids brought their X-box and PlayStation. We did not need to bring or purchase anything while on vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed. We thought from looking at the pictures that we would have to cross a road to get to the beach. Nope! You walk down the driveway, turn left and the walkway to the ocean is right there! There were tons of beach towels and tons of beach gear. Beach cart, great beach chairs, 2 huge paddle boards, boogie boards, and beach bikes. My favorite part of this awesome home was the owner, Wendy. She had the sweetest gifts waiting on the table when we arrived. If we needed anything or had any questions at all, she responded right away. She is very kind! We would definitely stay here again!

Expectations Completely Surpassed + Value + Great Layout

From the location, to professionalism to absolutely friendliness of the host Wendy, this was a win. Most importantly, it's a very simple walk to a beautiful, peaceful beach. The house had every item we could have needed, from beach gear, family entertainment and a fully stocked kitchen with quality equipment. The value, location, beach and house were great. The wide open middle area with dining room table and kitchen counter gave the house lots of 'life' as we gathered and cooked. A wall of windows with some ocean view made even an occasional rainy day enjoyable. Now to the 'feels'. It was my son's 6th birthday and Wendy had balloons with a banner in place in addition to a few 'unexpected' touches. She was so thoughtful from the booking through our departure. An absolutely wonderful host with all of the amenities in a clean, lovely 'home'. There was so much beach equipment we questioned driving 11 hours verses flying. Anything Wendy didn't have we could have rented, but chairs, umbrellas, bikes and more were all easily accessible below the house. So, our 2 families with 9,7 and 6 year olds had a fantastic time and I highly recommend this place. Written after an 11 hour overnight ride, but I wanted to provide my appreciation for a great host.

My wife and two kids visited this property for a week. This a perfect beach vacation property for a family. The home was even better than described in the listing. There were several beach toys for the kids and even bikes to use. My kids absolutely loved the bunk beds and all the board games! The most impressive part to me was the owners responsiveness and helpfulness. I have rented several properties on VRBO and this was hands down the best owner I have experienced.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Giovannotto

My Husband and I met 43 years ago as high school sweethearts in New York. We then moved to Atlanta for him to attend Chiropractic college at Life University. Atlanta became our home where we raised our 4 children. We have always loved vacationing with our children and creating memories together. We truly enjoy spending time together as a family! My husband and I always promised each other one day...we would get back to the beach! The time finally came, our dream became a reality "Back To The Beach". After 9 years of ownership, many fun trips and countless memories. We decided we wanted to share it with others so they could experience St. George Island as well.
We hope you create the best memories in our home with your family and friends during your stay at Back To The Beach!
