Our host provided the perfect house for our family and being on the beach we enjoyed watching pods of jumping dolphins morning and afternoon!The private pool was an extra bonus that gave us plenty of room for aqua volleyball competition. Great Get-Away and Time Well Spent
Our family came down to St. George Island to celebrate being together and spending quality time with our children and granddaughter. The house was just as described. Plenty of room to visit, cook, meals together, and enjoy being right on the beach. Our host Gordon was so very helpful answering any questions we had. We would definitely come back and stay again at this beautiful property.
Away from the hustle and bustle of 30A, especially during a holiday week! The close proximity of the beach house, pool, and private boardwalk to beach was so convenient! Beautiful sunrise walks and evening walks to Sikes Cut for sunset made this location special! We enjoyed biking along the many pathways! The surf was great for boogie boarding, fun building sand castles, and shell collecting were among our favorite memories. Overall a great family beach trip!
Gordon was an amazing host, communicating right away and checking in just the right amount. The location of the home was great and we would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful home with great view of ocean. Six adults and 3 kids, our family had a wonderful time! Many trips booked through Vrbo but have never had a more attentive host as Gordon.
This was a great house. Very clean and everything was in working order. Right on the beach, we really enjoyed our time there.

Great property and great location. Important item was the mattresses were great and we all slept well. Pool was perfect. Very clean and the owner is very nice and communicated with us before and after our stay. Highly recommended!!
Location on the Gulf was primo. Private pool was one of the best features. It was a pretty pool with great landscaping. Large kitchen. The owner was a great communicator and responsive to all of our questions.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time. The house was perfect for the family to visit together with lots of seating and open concept. Clean. Quick to go back and forth between the house, the beach, and the pool.

Stayed with our family. Clean and well-furnished home located right on the beach with excellent views. Great communication with owner. We will definitely plan to return.
The property is well kept, and a great location for families to enjoy a week at the beach. The house and pool were clean and inviting. The beach wasn't crowded, and overall we had an enjoyable week.

Jane...thank you so much for your review and I'm so excited that you and your family are coming back next year. SGI is a very special place and glad you love it!
We have used VRBO every year for our vacation and this one was unfortunately the worst experience we have had as far as cleanliness, lack of general maintenance, safety and upkeep. We paid for a luxury vacation this year for 3 generations as our three young grandchildren would be with us as well as five adults, we wanted to make wonderful lasting memories. The issues range from broken/sharp tile around pool edges, uneven and unsafe concrete decking around pool, filthy stove, oven, appliances, floors, bedding, clogged dryer vent, ac return vents with dust and hair clogged in vent. The host offered us the use of his kayak which was not something any of us are experienced at, he wanted to send a cleaning crew however the amount of cleaning required to make this property worth the premium we paid for 7 nights would require a full day to day and a half at a minimum. Furthermore, the last thing we wanted with a house full of people, including three small children is a group of cleaning people disrupting our stay when this should’ve been taken care of in the months prior to our stay. We contacted VRBO who attempted to reach the host several times as well as requested a partial refund from the host which were all ignored. Unfortunately we now have to proceed with other avenues for “services not as described” and “poor quality of goods and services”. I will attempt to attach pictures in hopes this will help future guests navigate their choice with staying at this property.

We take a great deal of pride in this property and genuinely want every guest to have a great experience. That's why this review is disappointing.
The concerns raised during the stay were taken seriously and addressed immediately. We offered to send our cleaning team to the home and remained available throughout the reservation. Those offers were declined.
We also arranged for our pool service professional to inspect the pool area after concerns were raised. He advised the guests that the beveled pool tile edges did not present a safety issue. No injuries were reported and the guests and their children enjoyed the pool every day throughout their vacation.
We feel it's important for future guests to know that this review leaves out several key facts, including documented house rule violations by the guests, three unauthorized pets that were not included in the reservation, property damage, and substantial additional cleaning and replacement costs. All of these matters became subjects of dispute after checkout.
Fortunately, our history of reviews tells a much more complete story. We invite prospective guests to read the feedback from the many families who have enjoyed our home over the years, including the guests who stayed immediately prior to this reservation, and decide for themselves.
Every guest is entitled to their opinion, but this review doesn't present a complete or accurate picture of either the property or our efforts to address concerns during the stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A Reel Deal! It is the perfect location for privacy and relaxation! Gordon was very accommodating throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning.

The house and Gulf front location with a large pool was perfect for our family. The large FR, breakfast bar, dining table (hard to find) & 3 BR + loft bunk beds accommodated all of us comfortably.
For our next beach vacation, I’m sure we will be back.
