Peaceful Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience was so positive that we want to come back next year. We were very lucky with timing of the hurricane, but the staff was very helpful with options and things worked out better than expected. Great access to the beach and my grandkids loved the pool.

This property was great! We had two teenage boys that slept in the lower level and it was perfect. We enjoyed evening swims in the pool and proximity to the beach. House was clean and very cute!

Absolutely perfect beach house!! The owners have great attention to details and exquisite decorating style. Definitely a house set up for a larger group with lots of comfortable sitting areas. One block to the beach and bay, stunning sunrises from the porch, and a pool designed for lounging made for one our favorite beach trips! Thank you for sharing your paradise!

Beautiful house with great location

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our annual family vacation! We’ve been coming to St. George Island for 26 years now and this house is easily one of our favorites. The house is located with easy access to the beach and the pool area is like a private oasis for when the beach gets too crowded or hot. The house is decorated beautifully on both levels and it is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We look forward to staying here again!

A very nice place

We enjoyed our 3 weeks at the Storks Nest. Owners are friendly and the management company was very responsive (the wifi dropped once during our stay but they got it up again within an hour). There are a few repairs needed that they will be addressing but nothing that impacted our great stay.

Great location, beautiful house!

Very clean and so welcoming! Lovely view of the ocean from the front porch. The screened in porch was great when evening bugs started to bite. The pool was awesome! The mother in law suite was great for my in laws. We’d come again for sure. 😃

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 3 + our dog had a fabulous time. I always want to stay on the beach, that's becoming unaffordable for us and The Stork Nest was perfect, not "on" the beach but an easy quick walk. We will certainly be back as soon as we can!

Perfect location, great property, highly recommend

This is a wonderful property, with a nice private apartment on the lower level if that’s what you need. Built-in privacy for the special guest. The wraparound balcony was incredible. Unfortunately they do not allow access to the elevator. Conveniently located, bike trail right across the street. My only complaint, burn the sofa. The beds are great, the sofa has seen better days.

Wonderful House

Everything matched the description. It was a wonderful house in every respect. Super clean, great master bed, well equipped kitchen, big master bath. The in-law apartment came in handy as a part time office while I worked a few hours a day upstairs in the main house. The location, 200 yards from the beach, in the middle of the island, was ideal. I would highly recommend.

Very nice well decorated house. Being on main island road was a bit noisy at times. A lot of steps to negotiate. Would have been extremely helpful if the baggage lift was not locked out to guests. Microwave turntable was broken, the detergent door on dishwasher was broken, and only one of the two burners on gas grill worked. However kitchen was well appointed with various appliances and plenty of dishes and utensils.
