About this property

Beachfront, Plantation, Pet Friendly! Large Sun Decks!

Join us on beautiful Saint George Island for healthy, fresh, salt air! Beach Paradise, updated after Hurricane Michael, is located within the St George Plantation features an open great room separating 2 bedrooms and a shared bath on each wing, making it perfect for two families vacationing together! Two large sliding glass doors feature expansive Gulf views and provide access to the large sundeck, perfect to lounge on to catch up on your reading with that needed ray of sunshine!

The two beachfront bedrooms have king beds and picture window views of the Gulf. One other bedroom has a king bed while the fourth bedroom has a queen bed. The sofa in the den will sleep two. All bedrooms have flat panel TVs with cable service and Netflix with your own account, and free wifi capable of streaming multiple devices.

Downstairs, a private boardwalk to the beach gives easy access to playing on the white sandy beaches of St. George Island, shore fishing for the days catch or a relaxing evening walk on the beach to watch the day's sunset (many of which are just spectacular!). There is a private outdoor shower for a quick cleanup after a day on the beach. A fish cleaning sink with running water to clean the catch of the day. Several beach chairs and a beach umbrella are supplied.

Beach Paradise is in the gated community of St. George Plantation. "The Plantation" has two olympic sized swimming pools, tennis/pickle ball courts and a fitness center. Paved bike paths stretch from one end of the island all the way to Dr. Julian G Bruce State Park - approximately 10 miles from end to end. It is about three blocks/.5 miles to the Plantation Clubhouse.

The "cable service" is via the YouTube TV app on the GoogleTV streaming device. The basic channels should be available with over 100 channels. Every TV should have the dongle attached to an HDMI port.

Please note that motorcycles and golf carts are not allowed in The Plantation when driven by rental guests.

Any special discounts apply to new reservations only and cannot be combined with any other special or discount.

Wonderful beach house

Great house right on the beach! Fantastic property with comfy beds and couches, nice washer and dryer and huge TV. Buck is so easy to work with and has added touches to the property that made us feel welcomed and right at home— laundry detergent, dish detergent, nice chargers next to each bed, beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Would definitely rent here again!

A great family getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked with everything you would need to feel at home. Liked that beach chairs and umbrellas were even provided. It was great walking from the house directly to an almost private beach. We loved hunting for shells!

Wonderful stay!

This house is perfectly situated on the beach and our family of 4 had a lovely time relaxing at SGI! We loved watching the dolphins, and our kids play, right from the porch! It was a short, pretty ride to the pool. Great location in the plantation. We had a great week! Thank you for hosting us!

We loved this property. Steps from the beach and large deck for stargazing. Kitchen was very well stocked. Sea turtles nested on both sides of the house. It was an awesome vacation. Looking forward to staying at this property again.

Year 2 at Gulfside

We stayed here last year as well and again we were satisfied with the property and location. We had the opportunity to do some more exploring of the Plantation area and with the home being centrally located within the community it allowed us to take off in any direction. You can’t beat the privacy and the Gulf being pretty much in your backyard!

Great location and good set up for two families

It is an older home in the Plantation section of SGI but the owner has been working on updating it. Walk down the deck to the beach which has very few people on it typically. Nicely separated bedrooms with a great space in the middle making it perfect for two families.

Relaxing Beach Getaway

We had a family group of ten and we were very comfortable in this house. Buck, the host, was very responsive to our needs and made the process very easy. The beach is just steps away from the porch and beautiful. We were very pleased with our decision to stay in this house. Thanks, Buck.

Gulf Oaks

Our family really enjoyed this property and our time on SGI. Fantastic space to relax and have fun on the beach, just steps from the house. Even though we had a lightning storm that knocked out the internet, Buck was responsive and went out of his way to fix the problem. Great customer service. Thank you.

Trip to Gulfside

Overall highly satisfied with this property and the property manager. Great views of the Gulf and the outside vegetation gives you the feel of your own little private paradise. Though the outside of the house is dated, the open feel of the interior along with the updates to the inside more than make up for it. The view out the two large back sliding glass doors are nothing short of amazing. Property location was great as well, far enough away from the center of the island so it is very quiet, but also close enough that trips to restaurants and stores are not too far. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

awesome property

Awesome property with a great beach. the only complaint we had was the condition of the deck. We spent a lot of time on the beach, but mornings and evenings were spent on the deck. The deck needs replaced, plain and simple! There were 7of us, and at some point we all got splinters from the weathered wood on the deck.

Great Location and Layout, Needs TLC

House has a great layout and is in a really nice location on the beach / in the plantation. The owner is communicative and helpful and the price seemed good. However, the house has been 'ridden hard' and is below the standard that one should expect at this price point. Issues? Paint chipping and cracking, drywall falling off, shower head not working, fan in bedroom without bulbs and non functional, extra blankets dirty and smell like wet dog, sheets stained with coffee stains, washing machine loaded with mildew, stocked with bare minimum supplies (one roll paper towel, 3 garbage bags, 4 toilet paper rolls for a 1 week stay). There was surely some good, but renters should be aware of the 'bare minimum' approach to the property. There are so many basic things that could be done to make the stay more enjoyable.

Great Location - Great for Relaxed Family Vacation

Like other reviews have mentioned, the house does need a little TLC. Chipping ceiling paint and on some walls. With that being said, the house was very clean and comfortable. The views were beautiful. There wasn't anyone staying in either of the houses to the left and right of us so we had the whole beach to ourselves. We played pickleball every morning and met some of the neighborhood locals. All who were super nice. The pickle ball courts were under construction so they had one of the tennis courts converted which wasn't a big deal to us. The courts were a nice 2.5 mile bike ride which we made using the bike trails so we could gawk at the beautiful houses in the neighborhood. We had a loggerhead lay her eggs in the dunes right in front of the house so we got to speak to the turtle volunteers which was a bonus. There were beach chairs and toys for kids. They house had everything we needed. We had no issues and would definitely stay here again!

Great Beach, Great Hosts

We had a great week at Gulfside Oaks. The house was just as described and the beach and ocean were even better. We cooked most nights and found the kitchen well equipped for all our needs. The house was comfortable and had all the amenities anyone would need, Including a good selection of umbrellas and beach chairs in the storage room downstairs. The best part of this trip, however, was definitely the beach and the view. We spent most of our time enjoying the ocean and watching dolphins pass back-and-forth just offshore. You could not ask for a better hosts! Early in the week I needed to get something delivered and Sammy offered to have it delivered to his office. We did have one night where one of the central AC units went out, but we found a temporary fix and Sammy had someone out the next morning to check everything out. A big thanks to Buck and Sammy. I dropped my wireless earbuds in the driveway on our way out. Buck found them, and Sammy offered to mail them back. Above and beyond!
