We sat on the front porch with coffee/tea each day and watched the sunset on the front porch each night In between, we went to the beach, shopped and ate delicious food. Trip was everything we hoped for and we thank our host for all she did for us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy P. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our family! We had an absolutely lovely stay here! Our first time to SGI but definitely not our last. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy. The walk to the beach isn’t bad and the privacy at this home is unmatched. Wooded lot on 3 sides. The home has beach chairs and 2 kayaks as well. Our 2 teenagers enjoyed having their own rooms. Lots of spices already there so check the house before you go shopping. The frying pans and sheet pans have seen better days, but we made it work. We would absolutely stay here again! ##### Wendy P.

Great communication from the host, she was quick with a response to any questions that came up.We got to see some dolphins playing in the water while sitting on the front porch. There were hundreds of dragonflies, several bats, tree frogs, and lizards too.The state park is just a couple minutes down from the house and is worth the fee to get in for the day.

This house is just as advertised! It was perfect for our family of five. Very clean and furnished with all that we needed and more! So much room for parking under the house with plenty of room for cornhole while it was raining. Nice view of the Gulf when having morning coffee on the deck. Short 2 minute walk to a secluded beach. No need to get up before the sunrise to jockey for a spot to setup for the day! Great communication with the owner, especially when the storm knocks off the power and she calls the power company for you and lets you know when it should come back on! We loved our vacation and would definitely stay again! ##### Mark L.

The house has everything you will need. Plenty of dishes, utensils and towels. The covered parking under the house has an excellent outdoor shower for washing off after the beach. There were plenty of beach chairs and a few beach toys for the kids if you happen to need some. It was a short walk from the house to the private boardwalk that leads directly to the beach. Our only issue were the stairs that led up from the boardwalk (2 sets) and the stairs that led down to the sand. Just be mindful if you bring a cart, which we did. We just left to the side and carried what we had to the beach, so don’t overload your cart! ##### Max H.

Owner was always available for our questions. Thank you ! We would love to come back ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann W. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fools Gold was Wonderful Our stay at Fools Gold was wonderful. This is a beautiful and clean home. The kitchen is well stocked, the bedrooms and beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean. Communication with the owner was superior. The beach access is not described in detail. Beach access was described as only a short walk. This was correct, but the stairs involved to get over the sand dune and on beach was not mentioned. It is difficult to carry beach gear over both set steps. Luckily, the state park is just 1/2 mile down the road. They have several easily accesses to the beach, two with picnic tables and restrooms. Well worth the 6 per day per vehicle charge. We would definitely consider staying is this home again! ![Boardwalk and steps at beach access](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d6c3d27-d5f8-4e09-aac8-f44f66d6f1ff-1750690553604.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ann W.

Exactly what was listed and exactly what we wanted/expected. Sarah was great before, during, and after the vacation. Will definitely stay again. Reviews say not close to beach....that is a lie....5 minute walk through private resident boardwalk deeded to the house. Yes you can see the water from the house, yes there is plenty of parking, yes there is everything you need, and if you have questions, Sarah will help you! ##### Frank Z. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Not what I was expecting. Overall, the home was nice and well kept. The beach access was not convenient as we had a handicapped veteran with multiple knee replacements. There were far too many stairs. The biggest issue I had was the cameras installed for “safety” that were pointed directly towards the porch/front door & directly into the living room window. If this would’ve been disclosed I never would’ve booked this home. I understand having security cameras as I have them at my home… however… having a rental I feel everyone is entitled to privacy, or at least the option. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert R. 15 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House We had a great stay! Superb house! Very comfortable & super clean! We would definitely stay again. There was easy access to everything on the island. A few suggestions… 1\. Coffee pot made great coffee, but took 30-40 minutes to brew 2\. Porch is beautiful but would be spectacular if screened… mosquitoes are bad. I get it, it’s Florida but we used 3 cans of bug spray 3\. TVs need updated. Overall Beautiful Home! Five Star House all the way!!! ##### Robert R.

Fools Gold is a beautiful home situated right across the road from the beach access. It’s literally a two min walk to a beautiful quite stretch of beach. The home is very nicely decorated, and very well maintained. Surrounded by woods and very private. Front porch is awesome for morning coffee and enjoying the sunrise while looking over the torques waters of the Gulf. One mile away is a beautiful Florida State park. My wife Says she could live in that house. The owners has always been very helpful and communicates well. Second time staying at Fools Gold and looking forward to going back. ##### James C.

We had a great stay at this property! Nice new'ish home. The house was in great shape. Kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed. We spent alot of time on the front porch looking out over the ocean, reading and just enjoying each other's company. Beautiful beach is short walk and easily accessible. It was a holiday week, but it did not feel crowded at all, which is what we were hoping for. Nice outdoor shower for when you return from the beach. Bike riding is good on St. George with dedicated path. State park at end of island where we stayed was beautiful! There is not an abundance of good restaurants on the island. Our best meals were in Apalachicola and Port St. Joe. Overall though, a great stay and we were grateful to have found this property and experience St. George! ##### Julie C.
