Long weekend stay with our extended family including a toddler. House was very clean and well taken care of. Loved the quiet setting on the bay but close enough to walk to the beach. Also loved the screen enclosed pool, just the right size. 10/10.

What a beautiful home in an excellent location! It is spacious with great amenities. All of the deck space and the pool made it so we only left for golf and to go to the beach. I look forward to returning with my friends next year!

The Big Picture: covered all the based

Our second time at this property and we loved it as much as the first time. Screened, Covered pool was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone. Only thing we missed is that there isn’t a big dining table where we could all sit down and eat together

Wonderful home!

Our stay at The Big Picture was everything we could have asked for. Plenty of space, easy checkin, immaculately clean and very responsive management. We never went to the beach in the neighborhood, but enjoyed plenty of pool time. The weather was unbelievably hot, but the AC system worked well and staying inside was the perfect place to cool down. Very quiet and off the beaten path. Would absolutely stay here again.

The Big Picture

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved The Big Picture. The house was clean and worked well for our family of nine. The kids (teenagers) loved the pool, and the one fisherman in the party loved “the cut”. Forgotten Shores staff was very friendly and easy to deal with.

We had a wonderful stay at The Plantation on St. George Island! We came to town for a family wedding and this was by far the perfect - out of town - location to stay during the down times.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. It’s clear the owners take great pride in keeping the property in top shape.The location truly immerses you in the charm of island marsh life — peaceful water views, beautiful birds, and abundant local wildlife make it easy to unwind and appreciate nature at its best.As noted in the listing, all (but one) the beds are queens — a bit snug for taller guests like us, but certainly not a dealbreaker! Just something to keep in mind if you’re above average height.The island itself is wonderfully quiet and laid-back — perfect for anyone seeking rest and relaxation. It’s not a place for nightlife or constant activity, but rather for slowing down, soaking up the scenery, and simply enjoying the peace.We’d happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil coastal escape!

Great time but like before a house for 10-12 people needs a small freezer for the food we bring in. Same as last time the fridge and freezer couldn’t keep up. Didn’t have ice for the first day and half

Nice place to relax

We have stayed here 3 times and have enjoyed it. The house is big enough for our party but has several areas where you can enjoy peaceful solitude if you want. It is located on the bay side and provides an excellent view. The beach is not far away and the bike / pedestrian trails are great. Recommend having bicycles to see the entire Plantation.

Family getaway

The house and pool were just perfect for our family to get away together during this pandemic. My husband and I and our two adult children and their families needed some beach time and fun together. The house is very beautiful and comfortable and grandchildren ages 15-8 loved the pool. Great access to beach which was perfect for being able to stay apart. Just was a little disappointed with the cleaning that should have been done during this time. We brought plenty of disinfectant though to be safe
