Another perfect stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year at BSOSGI. We love it. It is spacious, clean and very nicely decorated. It has everything you need for a long stay. The pool is great and the access to the beach is right across the street. One of my favorite features is the front porch. It faces the ocean and is high enough and positioned just right for a really good view of the water. Great place to have a coffee to start the day and a cocktail to end it. Also the staff at Gulf Cosst is the best. Top notch customer service.

We LOVED it !

This place is our number 1 so far ! Very close to the beach and pool is clean. Very pretty inside. I loved huge kitchen. Bathrooms are clean and all of appliances are functional and not old ! Only con about the area (which is nothing to do with the house we stayed) is … there is a crazy local couple. We ran into them at beach one day. They like to argue with visitors (not just us but other people at beach) and acted like they own whole beach… we ended up speaking with police about them. Please watch out for locals.

Perfect Little Spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed at Beach Shack for a month Mid-Jan - Mid Feb 2024. It's really one of the better rentals I've stayed at in SGI (and I've been coming for 30 years). It's the perfect size for two couples and kids. Very clean, well appointed. Nice view for a 1st tier property (house across the road is small). One of those places I really wanted to keep a secret!

Great way to spend a week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Beach Shack was just as described. The beach was just steps away. A turtle nest was just steps way! The porch was a great place to cool off (due to the fantastic breeze) and listen/watch the waves. I've never stayed anywhere that was so well stocked with anything & everything you need. However, be sure to bring extra toilet paper & paper towels. The pool made the hot days much more relaxing. The accommodations were clean. The staff was VERY helpful getting us into the house (written instructions were not correct/clear) & answered all our questions.

Fun at the Beach (Shack)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental home was conveniently located across from a private path to the beach It was an easy walk and provided a gathering/storage location for beach gear for our multiple family vacation. The pool was a plus and really enjoyed by the children. The master bedroom was a good size. The other two bedrooms are small and did not have much room for suitcases. We would stay here again. We did see some roaches but someone was sent to spray once notified. As it was a pet friendly home a fur ball was pulled out from under the couch when a child retrieved a toy that was theirs. We did not bring a pet.

Definitely not a shack 😮

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is our new favorite place to stay on the island. It was perfectly set up for our family of five. It’s roomy and bright and has we very comfort of home. The location is spectacular with a short walk across a quiet street to the beach. We used the beach gear credits to rent bikes. The bike path is close and a short ride to the lighthouse and more importantly to the kids... the candy store. The pool was perfect as well. We paid the extra to have it heated and it was worth every cent. Any questions I had were answered quicky by the staff at Gulf Coast. They were great to work worth. We would definitely stay here again and ehold heartedly recommend it.

Poorly Maintained, Very dirty conditions, moldy, poorly stocked

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Reviews were very misleading as the house was described as clean. The house was very dirty. There were at least 2 giant roaches every morning running through the kitchen and bathroom. Ceiling fan blades covered in a thick layer of dust, dirty baseboards, electrical outlet was hanging from wall in one bedroom. Front windows looking out to ocean were dirty. We had to call to ask that the windows be cleaned as well as mold and dust removed from a vent in kitchen ceiling. Cookware was the worst; food residue in pots and pans, scratched teflon pans, stainless pots were pitted, drying rack for dishes had gunk on it, kitchen garbage can lid was filthy and rusty, cooking utensils were rusty. We planned on cooking a few meals instead of going out, but after seeing the condition of cookware decided not to use it. The underside of ironing board has thick layer of dirt and dust. Pool inflatables were filthy and there was no pump or way to use them. Every hinge or door knob was rusted, shower curtain rings rusted. Filter in refrigerator for ice maker was expired, we had to call for replacement that never came. Flimsy lock on front door.The pool was clean. I have photographs of all I described. We have vacationed on SGI 3x in different homes and these conditions were the worst we have experienced.
