Family Beach Trip

We had a great stay with three generations, including a 3 month old. We brought our own pack and play, but also used the one provided at the house. Everything was great and the location to the beach was very easy for quick visits.

Wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach

The house and pool were excellent. The property had a very tropical private feel with nice views of the gulf and close beach access. Our first time to St George Island and it was great.

Amazing Vacation

This home is gorgeous and so comfortable. Sheryl is a wonderful host always checking on you to make sure you have everything you need and has lots of info about the island. The home is a very short walk to the beach and she even provides beach chairs. The home was just perfect for the 8 of us!

Lovely week

We had a lovely week at SGI in the Sea Gem! House was clean and beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need for cooking and eating in. We loved having the beach access right across the street for our daily walks on the beach and shell collecting. Thanks for a relaxing week!

Sea Gem Truly is a Gem

We have been coming to SGI for 20 years and always stay on the Plantation (now with two kids, ages 10 and 13!. After a series of beachfront rentals, we opted for Sea Gem this time, which is Tier 1. The house was very clean, kitchen well-stocked with a variety of pots/pans, dishes, and even spices! The property is well-laid out with nice bedrooms and only a couple of steps from the beach walk. While we didn’t use the pool at all, it was clean and inviting. Sheryl was wonderful and very responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!

Lovely Home!

We stayed in this home for 2 weeks and we enjoyed the home very much, it was spacious, clean and well equipped. The pool was very clean as well. Sheryl, the property mgr., was super nice. We brought our 2 little dogs and we all enjoyed hanging on the large porch. We made sure to keep them quiet (with bark collars) to not disturb the neighbors. We could only see a tiny bit of the ocean but we could hear the waves from the porch which was a bonus. We really enjoyed early morning dog walks on the beach and afternoon walks in the neighborhood. All in all, it was a peaceful and fun 2 weeks. We will be back to SGI for sure.

Beach Getaway

Sea Gem worked out perfectly for our family. The location was perfect. Everyone was very comfortable, we had plenty of room. The pool was extremely private and couldn’t have been better for relaxing and swimming and the kids loved the less sandy option for the toddler. The street was private and quiet, yet right across the way was a boardwalk path to the beach, a very short walk. Sheryl was quick to answer any questions. Our evenings ended with rocking in the chairs on the porch and planning our next visit. Sea Gem helped make this trip full of great memories which was exactly what I was hoping for!

Family Gathering

Our 3-generation family of 5 adults and two young children had an amazing week on St. George Island. "Sea Gem" was indeed a "gem." The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the heated pool daily and enjoyed only being a short step away from what felt like our private beach. Located within the gated Plantation community, we enjoyed the landscaped grounds, access to bicycle paths, and other community amenities. Though we ventured out to other parts of the island and nearby mainland communities, we were on the island for quality family time in a peaceful setting. Sea Gem checked all the boxes. Also, Sheryl (the homeowner) is also a "gem"--she responded quickly to any questions we had and was genuinely interested in making sure our visit to her property and the island went smoothly. Overall, this was a 5+ vacation home.
