Great place by the beach!

This house fit 13 people quite easily, and the elevator was much appreciated since one of our party was recovering from ACL surgery. Very close to the state park also!

Fabulous house with tons of space for everyone to spread out. Very clean and well-appointed. Safe, quiet gated community. Had the beach almost all to ourselves. Didn't use the community pool but it looked great. Highly recommend.

Sun of a Sailor exceeded our expectations! The interior is beautifully decorated, well maintained, and extremely comfortable. The main living area has HUGE wall to wall windows with amazing views of the Gulf. I didn't pick up on this from the listing, but the kitchen has TWO refrigerators! And there's a third fridge on the ground level that's perfect for beach drinks! The elevator is very useful for unloading and loading, we did not have any issues. The multi-level porches were well furnished and relaxing. You have direct access to the beach, not a long walk at all. This gated neighborhood has beautiful, well kept grounds, especially the pool area with all the blooming oleander. I 10/10 recommend and hope to visit Sun of a Sailor again!

High surf!!

Sun of a Sailor was perfect for us. Spacious and comfy. Deck furniture was great for meals and just relaxing with coffee and cocktails! Sunset Beach at St George is my favorite 🏝🐬 We couldn’t use our kayaks and paddle board because of the bra high surf. Otherwise, our stay was perfection!!

Benjamin Beach Bash #2

The property was beautiful, great porches and open room for family time. The beach was amazing, no one was out there. I e had a few friends on the beach, but it was paradise. Kitchen had to enough stock to just bring your favorites and you’re home. I wish we could all be together so much longer, but I loved it - had a beach wheelchair for my bad knee and sciatica. It was great, so I got in the ocean the first day!!
