The property is worn but we felel that is expected it’s on the beach. We were very happy with the rooms and everything else about the property. The walk to the beach is super easy and the short drive into town we just feel like we do not need the golf cart. It was so easy to find parking everywhere.
The location and access to the beach was exceptional. Property size for 10 people was perfect. Bring some extra blankets! The only disappointment is the old and unusable grill. Otherwise perfect vacation and great communication by the property management.
Definitely needs a few updates but otherwise it was fantastic. By the second day doing the stairs were killer but it was great for everyone to have their own bed and bath. Would definitely rent again.

Property people in charge where nice, but house is old, outdated depressing, and smelly. I would NEVER STAY IN THIS PROPERTY AGAIN
My family of 8 humans and two dogs had a fabulous Spring Break at 5 Palms! The house was comfortable and convenient for us. The elevator was a huge advantage for my husband and I since there are many stairs. It was cool, but we enjoyed the beach even more because of this. Melissa was wonderful to work with and promptly solved our one problem. She was very pleasant and professional. We hope to return to this house and SGI again.
Our annual family vacation consists of me, my husband, his mother, our son, his wife, and two children, and our daughter, and her two children. 5 Palms was just as described in the listing, if not better. Ample space for a big family. Lovely decks with tables, chairs & rocking chairs. Plenty of room for parking and is located at the perfect spot on the island - close to everything. We rented a golf cart, kids rented bikes, and they said it was the best holiday yet. The house was clean and well cared for, and our property manager, Melissa was very responsive and helpful on the two items that we needed assistance on. I highly recommend 5 Palms Bright and Breezy, and any property that Melissa manages! Thank you for a wonderful week on St George Island!
Facility was a little dated.
Elevator was vital to checking luggage to 3rd floor.
Site was in poor condition. Pool area yard not usable.
Beer can(s) in bushes on arrival.
Back yard not usable. BBQ grill(s) not usable.

The location is the quiet end, just inside the golf cart area. The check in was super easy. The property was mostly clean. It needs some exterior cleaning and paint but nothing that interfered with our stay. Bird nest by the pool area ensured some entertainment. But we did pick up some trash and left behind items around the pool. Inside was large and comfortable. We did find a few areas that need work. Dishes were put away dirty, so we had to wash everything before using. Linens and towels were clean but stained. Bed covers needed tlc. Told there was a gas grill but it was charcoal and it needs replacing. We did use it, but had to be sure we had to keep the food balanced on the grill. A hairdryer was blowing the breaker. A few cobwebs up high. A tv didn’t work in master bedroom. None of these spoiled the vacation. I did send an email to management to let them know and didn’t receive any response, so that was disappointing. I wasn’t asking for anything, just letting them know that they had a few things needing attention. Having an elevator for items was a huge bonus as the stairs were spiraled and carrying all of our stuff would have been lots of work. I do recommend the property. Just know that as a rental there may be some items that need work.
Grass needed cutting, elevator was faulty. ( one of the reason I choose this was because my wife had knee surgery 3 months prior ) steps were very difficult for her. Man came and worked on but still not satisfactory.The place is beginning to needs some work. Overall liked and would comeback. Elevator is a problem!
