Had a great time. Location was perfect and house was clean. It is a little older home and could use a few updates but was perfect for myself and my husband.
This was a lovely place and so convenient to things on the island. Could have used a couple more chairs on the porch. We had a great time and we would rent this place again. Thanks
This was the perfect place for us! We loved being able to walk to stores and the park. The beachfront view and access was fantastic. We will definitely book this property again!
Even during spring break season the beach still had that private beach feeling!! We love SGI overall but I would not recommend for teenagers who need more to do than renting golf carts. We try to keep SGI a secret from our coworkers, lol. Will be a yearly trip

Great location - house needs some work
The location cannot be beat. On the beach! Walkable to everything St. George has to offer. We loved the location of the home. The house itself feels like it needs a facelift - new showers, appliances, one of the beds. The property manager was very easy to work with. I feel the price fairly reflects what you get with this property. We would not rent again.
We went down to St. George’s Island for a quick, early summer getaway. Happy Days was in a central location on the island and close to all the shops and restaurants, so it was convenient and quick to walk everywhere we needed to go. The location, directly on the beach, was fantastic and we sat and watched the people and dolphins hanging out and playing around in the surf, when we were out on our balcony. We loved everything about this house and it’s location. The beach area in front of the house was never really crowded and always seemed quite and pleasant. We hung out on the beach every day, and enjoyed the peace and quiet daily. The communication with VRBO and Vacasa was very good and they were quick to respond to us, when we had a question, very good hospitality. We will be back for another stay in a few months, such great memories.

Just OK
Management did not maintain outside or inside. Trash (ice bags and beer can) outside property. Master bath had mold that can not be treated with bleach. Would need to be re-caulked. Shower curtain was nasty. Master bath was tiny and both full baths were dated.
While inside was decorated nicely, the home smelled musty.
This property is for sale. The owner should have management address these issues as well as the gable at the back of the home. The driveway was full of weeds and home did not look inviting. We won't be back.

Great location but needs maintenance
This house is in a great location and we really enjoyed the short walk to beach and minimal crowd with room to set up. It was also close to the restaurants and shopping. The house itself is just ok. It was not cleaned very well with sand still on floors. The downstairs bathroom shower doesn’t drain so you stand in dirty water and takes over 15 mins to drain so next person has to wait as well. Neither tv worked downstairs. However the main turn off for our family is that we cook at the house every night and Almost every dish we pulled from the kitchen was dirty, some even still had food on. We also had a pipe burst (late at night) and it was not a great experience getting someone to the house to fix. We ended up fixing ourselves and they finally showed and said would come back next day with parts and never came the final two days we were there. While it did the job as far as staying in the beach, we won’t be visiting again. Some routine maintenance and updates would go a long way for your visitors.
