The host was very welcoming. The home offered great privacy and a good view of the gulf. It was clean and had about every amenity you could ask for. The close public beach access was a plus. It was a perfect fit for a family of 5 with a pet. Would stay there again

Very nice property. Niki was very accommodating. They have multiple smartTVs so you can log in with your streaming services as well as some of the services provided. AC was brand new and worked great. Short walk to the beach and a view of the waves from the back deck. Nice place.

Great place to stay with the family and dogs

I loved this place. It was bigger than I expected and all the amenities. We have dogs and they loved the beach. The views are great...I loved sitting on the deck watching the dolphins. The beach was super close and easy walking distance. I will definitely stay there again. Thank you for sharing your home with our family!

This home was conveniently located to the beach but it could definitely use some upgrades from the furniture to the kitchen dishes, pots, pans etc. Outdoor furniture was rusty and worn. The oven appeared to be from the 70's and the towels were very ragged.

Convenient location

Overall good experience. This is a good bungalow home for a couple or family. It is a short walk to the beach and the owner provided nice beach chairs and a beach buggy. The kitchen has all of the necessary basics, the washer & dryer were handy, the outside area was convenient for washing off sand and washing the pets. The deck was large but not screened in.

Great place to stay on an island visit

Bucky, Sorry we missed your call . But no time to stay in with all the great weather we had. Your home was great everything you need on a vacation. My wife and I hope we can do this again next year and if we do Bucky's house is the place to stay. Thanks so much for your concern of our well being during our stay at your home. You and yours have a great year and I hope I will be writing another review next year.

Relaxing and fun week

We had a wonderful week at this beach house. The property was clean and the kitchen was equipped to cook anything you would want. The furniture was comfortable and the deck has plenty of seating. The beach is a short walk away. To our delight, it was not at all crowded. We are especially grateful that we could bring our dog, and he had a fun time chasing crabs. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of St. George Island, spending most of our week just relaxing on the beach. Bucky was great to work with, and we have already recommended his beach house to friends.

First the pros: Bucky was very friendly and helpful. We were even able to check into the house a day early. The house is very cute and the back deck is a great feature. The location is very nice and close to the beach. The house was clean when we arrived. Also, as others have stated, the home was very well stocked with amenities. Now the cons: Within just a couple of hours of arriving, we had found the end of a "joint" in a stand in the living room. and then 2 days later, we started to see random bugs in the home which turned out to be "German" and "Palmetto" cockroaches. We decided to leave early on Thursday morning and make the 16 hour drive home even though we had paid for the home until Saturday. I was not able to stay comfortably in the home & I was not willing to take the chance of transporting the bugs back to our new home. We vacation to the beach every year and have never had any issues with any type of bug, but this was our first time visiting this specific area, so maybe the bugs are common there? I honestly don't know. I did leave a note for the housekeeper regarding these issues along with a tip for her because as I had stated previously, the home was clean upon arrival so I don't feel that the bug issue was her fault. I read the reviews before I booked this home and they were all positive so maybe we just hit it at a bad time of year.

Perfect spring break

I, two papillons and my girlfriend stayed in Bucky's Beach House for a week in April. Weather was fabulous , beach 2 min away, white sand and the quiet place. The house is very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need. My girlfriend has loved sitting and getting tan on the deck. My two pups loved walk on the beach. I have loved everything about St George Island. This was my second trip to this beutifull place. Bucky is a darling to deal with. He will call you and help you with all the needs for your travel and stay in his charming house. The best vacation ever. Thank you Dr. W. Hope to rent from you soon.

Thank you for your kind words. Your female companion will love the new chase lounges I bought for the front porch for sunning and the new table and padded rocking chairs so you can eat out on the covered porch.....I love the new porch furniture.

Good location

This home is in a good location on the island. It’s an easy walk to the beach. The beach chairs provided are a nice addition, as is the outdoor shower, even though we didn’t use it. Grill worked well (bring charcoal). Beds are comfortable and A/C works well. Kitchen could use an update of cooking utensils. Oven is a wall oven and smaller than a conventional oven. Dishwasher is dated but works well, as does the washer and dryer. There was a bit of miscommunication about trash pick up so it would be wise to confirm pick up days. Overall, we had a really nice stay!

Wonderful stay at Bucky's vacation rental

Cute and cozy little house, I would agree with the capacity of four guests. Worry free check in, that's a plus! House was clean, still had that cleaning smell when we walked in. Good cold A/C. House had everything we needed. Coffee maker is a keurig combo with kcup and the pot. Housekeeper/Manager is very nice! She stayed in communication with us during check in and check out. Short walk to the beach access. Was able to take my fur baby down to the beach with us. Dogs are not allowed on the beach in the State Park. The State Park is very nice though, we went one day out of our trip. Had a great time on St. George Island and would stay at Bucky's again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
We were told that check in would be around 1pm to 2pm but were not able to check in until nearly 6pm. The property is pet friendly but there was dog hair all over the place. We had to buy cleaning supplies to clean the place due to having a 10 month old crawling around on a fur covered floor. We killed 4 grown roaches and missed one that got away. No telling how many we did not see. There was silverware with dried on food so we felt compelled to wash everything before using them. The TV's were not working when we checked in and the housekeeper was still there trying to fix the problem. My son remedied the problem in 5 minutes. The location is great but the condition of the property was in a very unclean condition. After our stay I reported the problems to the owner and he responded that he would address the conditions we reported. Unacceptable. I feel that we should have been reimbursed a cleaning fee for the mess we had to deal with. We have been vacationing at St George for over 30 years and have never experienced a property this nasty. Please beware.

Once in a blue moon you have a renter that complains from the minute they get to your property. Check in is at 4 pm we let them check in while my manager was still cleaning at 1 so they could go to the beach while she finished. We have pet covers on all the furniture so hair could not be there and we take special work to make sure it is not on the throw rug or wood floor....tv had a programming problem we provide Hulu live at our expense which includes Disney and ESPN channels.....what can I say complaints like these are very rare but some folks must just like to complain.....we regret.

Excellent week in the sun

All three of us (3 middle-aged adults) found Bucky's place to be exactly what the doctor ordered during our early June vacation. We liked the house and its appointments quite a lot. There was a slight problem with the plumbing on our first day, but it was quickly fixed. Bucky was extremely helpful and so was his on-island handyman. Everything worked and the description of the house was as advertised. The house is close to the beach. Although there is no direct access to the Gulf through the "backyard," the walking distance to the beach is still probably under 250 yards--certainly no need for one of the ubiquitous golf carts you see everywhere. An excellent, private, outdoor shower, we used every day. We did not grill out, but the grill seemed to be in good working order. We did cook in the kitchen, which has everything. The freezer portion of the refrigerator makes ice quickly. Interior temperature was nicely cool during a hot week, though the AC seemed to cut off of its own volition during the early morning hours. No real problem. The ceiling fans kept everything comfortable. We have rented a number of houses over the years (west coast, east coast, south coast) and this one ranks high on our list. We would definitely come back. Recommended.
