House was perfect for us. This home has the best stocked kitchen I've seen! Loved the porches facing the ocean! Pool was nice temperature through entire stay. Only issue was ice maker stopped working. Prompt response to this issue and told to give it 2 hours, but it did not start working again. This was close to the end of our stay, so I let management know about it to be looked at before next renters came in. We enjoyed this house very much and would book it again. St George Island is our favorite place to be! ##### Anita H.
