Great house with a lot of space. I love that it was directly on the beach and had great amenities on the patio to rinse after a beach day. Views from both living rooms were gorgeous. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything we needed to cook our meals. My 6yr old loved the foosball table and pacman game. We had zero issues to report during our stay which is always pleasant. This was our first stay in SGI and will definitely be back. My only complaint is the rug in the top/main living room needs to be replaced. It was extremely worn and if you sat on it you ended up with fibers all over your clothes and it created a mess all over the floor just from walking on it.

Great for multiple families

This house is massive and well kept. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy views from every floor. Host and management company were both very responsive and addressed things quickly. The location can’t be beat being right on the water with kids. Highly recommend for family vacations!

Absolutely beautiful beach front property. Loved the location near the State Park, as the beach was very quiet. Liked the gated community as well as the pool and property amenities. Appreciated no beach restrictions, as we have experienced on other beaches. Property was very clean yet very dated. Very well stocked yet carpeting, area rugs, and furnishings were worn and dirty. Although we have booked many vacations through VRBO, this was our first experience where we received booking and confirmation information through THREE different management companies .. extremely confusing.We will continue to explore this area and even the gated community; yet, will most likely not return to this property.

Felt that things could have been a little cleaner. The fridge had mold on the water dispenser. The cooking pans had to be rewashed and the two trash bags only for the trash was a bummer. Popcorn and food under the upstairs couch. I wished we could have used the hot tub. It was broke the entire time we were there. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed the extra room and peace and quiet but if I could change some things then I would address some of the above.

Great house! Very comfortable and livable.

We had a wonderful time with this property. We had our entire family down and had plenty of room. That combined with the relaxing feeling of St George Island and the perks of the Sunset Beach Subdivision made for a great vacation.

We loved this place. Came for a couple days and this is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. Love the view from the balcony, the kitchen, the master, and the large seating area. The master bathroom is nice and plenty big for 2. The greatroom up top is really a nice touch.

What a fabulous property. We loved the heated community pool and the views of the beach made even rainy days amazing. We had 6 adults, 4 kids, & a toddler. The closet in the master bedroom made a great baby room! We loved looking for crabs at night, walking the beach, and exploring the restaurant in town. It was an amazing vacation!
