We loved the easy access to the beach for walking. The house was comfortable and nicely laid out for 4 adults. Our hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. Very quiet with a lovely porch swing to enjoy sunrises.
We repeated our stay this year for another 2 weeks. The house is well appointed with linens and towels in like new condition. My dog loves the big yard. I did wipe down the kitchen when we arrived. The views from the upstairs master are great. My husband really enjoyed the screen porch. I would suggest adding bath mats in the bathrooms and some additional large size mugs.
Had a great time at the beach. Great location in the plantation with excellent access to amenities and the beach. Well appointed with everything you need in fine working order.
Two of my best friends and I spent five nights at this beautiful property. It was perfect for us. The location was so private, and the walk to the beach is quick and easy. I definitely recommend gojng in
Great outdoor spaces, especially the decks and extras for the beach provided. Easy walk to the beach. Great kitchen amenities. Very comfortable beds and furniture. We would stay here again.
Great house in an excellent location. Privacy and quiet away from the hubub of town; walk to beach in 2min. Furniture and bedding was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Host was incredibly easy and prompt in communication. Highly recommend!
The property was as described on VRBO. The host responded quickly to a small maintenance matter. The house was clean and well appointed with extras such as garbage bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, Kleenex and chocolate! The linens and towels were good quality. We enjoyed our 2 week stay very much.
We enjoy the beach in winter and St. George Island did not disappoint. We loved walking on the beach, the sunrises and sunsets, it was all very relaxing. The owner was very responsive, the house was neat as a pin, and quite comfortable for the two of us. We hope to return. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us.
Our family had a wonderful experience at this Awesome St George Island Home. The house is very comfortable and no detail has been left unattended. The walk to beach is so easy and serene. Mara was quick to answer my silly tourist question with grace and kindness. We can't wait to book our next stay!!!
Very clean and house is just as pictured. It is located about 4 miles into a gated community. The path to the beach is only about a 2 minute walk, however the closest pool within the community is about 1 mile away so will need to drive. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions.
House was clean and as advertised. Very comfortable for my husband and me. We had our two dogs with us and the house was perfect for them as well. The walk to the beach was easy. This is our fifth time to St. George Island and this home was the nicest of all of them.
Everything was great. Communication with owner was quick, easy and helpful. Had to add an additional pass for our son and the owner took care of this in a timely manner. Walk to beach was shorter than I thought it would be, so that was nice. Overall everything was excellent and would stay here again.
We had a fabulous time! It was a Spring Break trip with teens who loved all the activities available on the Plantation. Bike riding, fishing, and kayaking - they did it all as well as the beach! Lovely location, very quiet and peaceful, and private. Property owners with great communication - quick to reply with questions and we had no issues. And extremely clean! No complaints - can't wait to return!! Thank you!!
This house was great and the community the property is on is so nice. We have 3 kids, preteen to teens. The house was roomy and the walk to the beach I thought would get old but it’s not as far as I thought. We saw lots of cute lizards and birds on our way. We loved all the outside space. We were on the screeded in porch a lot.

4 week Stay - Spring 2025
Had a pleasant 4 week stay here in spring 2025. We love St. George Island and the Plantation—have rented several properties there in the last 10 years. We had no major issues, but overall, compared to other nearby properties, this was average at best.Pluses:•The location is great-- natural, quiet, and uncrowded; beach is close by; home had few if any close neighbors.•Nice newish fluffy towels•Unlike a one reviewer, we found the mattresses comfortable.No major individual issues that were worth complaining about, and we recognize the challenges of maintaining a pet friendly home in a near-the-ocean environment. Several minor issues that might not be important for a short stay, caused the lower rating:•The general cleanliness and condition of the premises was not great.•Some fixtures didn’t work well: sticky doors, broken shelves, balky or practically unusable blinds, toilet that ran water continuously, broken fireplace.•Supplies were sparse or non-existent: no extra toilet paper or paper towels, no cleaning supplies.•Kitchen pots, pans, utensils were old and not in great condition. Basic supplies were sparse and seemed to be a mishmash of whatever previous tenants had left.•Furnishings were dated, banged up and generally not of great quality.All in all, the home was adequate but needed some updating and general TLC.

Beautiful community and quick owner response, but house needs maintenance and is overpriced!
We've done beach vacations all over the Charleston area for many years. This was the first time (and last) in the "Forgotten Coast" area.
PROS: The gated community is well-maintained, beautiful, quiet w/ miles of walking and biking trails, and very, very few people at the beach (at least this time of year).
The owner responded very swiftly to our initial problems, though at some point we gave up, simply because we didn't want to waste our vacation texting about the house.
CONS: Due to recent hurricanes started off w/ broken outdoor firepit and partially repaired drywall sections from small leaks - totally understandable.
However, we also arrived to disconnected TV cables broken Roku remotes (owner quickly replaced), damaged outdoor DSL cable (apparently it just runs above ground across the neighbor's gravel driveway),
missing lightbulbs in several rooms, a leaking sink faucet, a leak under the kitchen sink, a leaking toilet, very loud AC in the master bedroom (fan can't be turned off), partially clogged shower drain ( and cracks in the shower floor that may soon leak to more water damage), an ill-equipped kitchen w/ a total of 6 forks (home sleeps 6?) and 1 sad wine glass.
There is really not a whole lot to do in the area, especially when you can't go swimming on the many red-flag days or because of unsafe levels of bacteria in the water.
We found the house overpriced compared to other beach homes in better locations and because of the poor maintenance level.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for my wife, my son, and I. The house was immaculately clean and well-appointed, and as a rarity on the island, not too big. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the short 2-3 minute walk to the beach, and from there a short 20 minute stroll to the jetty or the pool. (or a two-minute car ride). The beach chairs and the beach cart were a huge bonus. Thank you, we plan to be back!
This was our first time at SGI, and we loved it! The island is wonderful with great places to eat, lots to do, and the house was perfect. We would love to stay here again.
