Amazing Views, Steps to Beach!! 1st Tier, Private Pool, Steps to Beach!!
FREE Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!
There's no two ways about it. You and St. George Island are just meant to be!
Welcome to SOL MATE, a freshly re-decorated 4BR/4.5BA charming first tier beach beauty! Located within easy walking distance to the Island center and with direct beach access just a few steps across the street, SOL MATE is the perfect match for your next family beach vacation!
As you enter this one-level home, you are welcomed onto an open floor plan with a spacious living area, fully stocked kitchen and dining area with bar. The Gulf front living room is a comfortable gathering place for the family to prepare for the days beach activities while overlooking the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This room boasts an impressive 70" flat screen TV with blu-ray player and surround sound. An extensive movie library is available for any rainy days and a Queen sleeper sofa offers additional sleeping space for up to 2.
The kitchen has been equipped with brand-new stainless appliances, has a dedicated pantry closet and an Island/breakfast bar which makes meal prep easy and convenient. 3 bar stools provide additional seating while the large dining table comfortably seats up to 8. A separate bar with wine cooler also doubles as a coffee station with Keurig for quick and easy morning wake-ups.
And what better way to greet the day by enjoying a cup of coffee on the Gulf front deck! With plenty of space to soak up the sunshine or to relax in the shade, you will find yourself spending many mornings here watching the dolphins swim by or counting the seemingly endless stars at night. Don't forget to bring flashlights for the nightly round-up of ghost crabs along the shoreline!
A split-bedroom layout allows ample space and privacy for each bedroom. Two master suites are located Gulf front, with access to the Gulf front deck. Each of these King bedrooms enjoys a breathtaking view, a flat screen TV and a private bathroom with shower. A bunk bedroom is located off of the dining room and has access to a jack-n-jill bathroom with shower. The bunk bedroom also has a large flat screen TV w/ Playstation 3 game console so that the kids can relax in their own space. Bring your own games or enjoy ours! A third King bedroom is located just off of the kitchen and also has access to a private bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a flat screen TV. All beds have brand-new mattresses for a restful night's sleep.
The laundry room is located on the ground level and is accessible from the parking area. This room houses a full size washer and dryer as well as a convenient 1/2 bath. With plenty of under-house parking, this area also doubles as a cool and shaded space for the kids to play out of the mid-day sun. A cozy double hammock, gas grill and hot/cold outdoor shower also add to the convenience and enjoyment of the space.
A 12x25 private swimming pool is ready for you and your family to enjoy. We also offer pool heat in the cooler months for a $400 + tax fee.

We had a great stay at Sol Mate! The location is convenient to beach access and the home is even more spacious than expected. We had everything we needed and more - extra beach gear, well equipped kitchen with plenty of pots/pans and utensils, outdoor grill and dining, spacious bedrooms, etc. Only critique to be aware of would be the bathrooms are a bit outdated. The pool was great for a break from the beach. A great house for family time!
We just returned from a week stay at this beautiful property!! The pictures do not do it justice!! Everything was clean, spacious, lots of areas for our group of 11 to spend time together or be separated for down time! The location is perfect! Just steps to the beach and close enough to restaurants, ice cream, and the lighthouse to be able to walk! We had a couple of issues but the management was quick to respond and everything was taken care of in a very timely manner!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to St. George Island!

Reviewer Comments:
We have a large family and love spending a week every 2 years at St George Island. In the past each family has stayed in condos at The Villas but this year we included the Sol Mates house in our stay for 2 families. The kids were safe to roam around together and share time at the beach and condo pools. The house was a great addition where we shared and hosted a couple of meals and game nights. Such a blessing for our family to come together from all over the US.and enjoy time together.
We had a fantastic stay at Sol Mate. It is in the perfect location with the beach right across the street and walking distance to Blue Parrot. We had plenty of room for 3 couples and two teenagers. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the mornings for coffee and in the afternoons for cocktails. The pool was really an added bonus because we had some extremely hot days and needed to cool off. Property management called and checked in to make sure everything was okay after the first day or two, which was unexpected, but nice to know they were available if there were any issues. Be aware that the washer and dryer are under the house off the carport, so traveling up and down two sets of stairs is involved. However, this certainly was not a significant issue and I would highly recommend this rental house.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was absolutely perfect. We were easily able to walk to the downtown restaurants, stores, and the lighthouse. Even though it was a central location, it was very peaceful and quiet and without much traffic. The beach path is just across the street which made it very convenient for everyone to come and go at their leisure. The house has very large windows on both ends, providing incredible views of the ocean from the front and of the rest of the island from the back side. The house was very spacious, and we appreciated having a separate bathroom for each bedroom. The bedrooms have very large windows with blinds and thick curtains. The kitchen was stocked adequately, however if you plan to do a lot of cooking, consider bringing your own specialty items (griddle, juicer, food processor etc.). The kitchen island is very big, so we had lots of prepping and serving space. There is plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen area. The small fridge in the coffee/bar area was extremely useful and it was very convenient to be able to set up a drink station in a separate area. The porch has plenty of seating space, a dining table and a very nice, large hammock. The pool area was nice and clean, and the pool was very well maintained, however it was rather small, especially for the size of the house and property. There is plenty of parking space and a large grassy area, where we were able to play volleyball. The downstairs bathroom was incredibly convenient and full of beach toys for us to use. The grill worked fine; however it is very small for a house that can house 12 people, and it could use replacing. The washer and dryer were a good size, and clean. A laundry basket would be a nice touch, since it is located in the basement. We had no maintenance issues during our stay. The only negative thing was that our trash cans were totally full when we arrived. Apparently, departure day is trash day, therefore, the cleaning crew should be in charge of putting out the

This house was absolutely perfect for our week long stay at St. George! We had a large group (3 families, 12 people) and we had more than enough space and everything we needed. Our group had 6 children and they had a blast. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and we were pleasantly surprised with the beach toys, chairs, etc. that the house had. The pool was the perfect size for our kids and a nice break for the kids from the sand. The location of this house was also great! Super short walk to the beach and even though it isn’t beach front, you still have a nice view of the beach. We had a great week and will definitely be staying again!

We've been coming to this little slice of paradise for 23 years. In those years, this home is the only one we have had the chance to repeat. It is wonderful! It has everything we need to keep 7 people happy. (No easy feat) The management company even checked on us mid week, little instances like this go a long way with us. Very kind people.

Reviewer Comments:
Rented the property for our kids and grandkids to join us on SGI from Vermont for their February Break, (we live close by). I have a mixed review. Location was a 10. right across from Beach walkover and with a nice view for not being beachfront. close to everything that the Island has to offer so kids could walk to lighthouse, playground, donut shop, ice cream etc. House was spacious with plenty of room for 6 comfortably.beds were comfortable.However, house could definitely use some attention..cracked countertop, peeling cabinet paint, older electric stove in kitchen. decking and steps in need of repair. clearly not updated in quite a while, if those things matter to you.We chose this property because of the amenities we desired,,IE: heatable pool, ice maker for drinks, gas grill for cooking out. all things that make for a great beach vacay.Ice maker was broken, gas grill had no propane tank, pool heater was broken (we had paid $400 for heat)the rental company was responsive, offered bagged ice (we had already purchased it), offered to bring a propane tank after our one dinner with guests was embarassingly cooked in fry pans on the electric stove when we discovered no steaks were going to be cooked on the grill!!! (but we really didn't need it after that. Pool heater fan broken and unable to be fixed during our weeks stay. Yes, they refunded our pool heat charge, but that did not fix the disappointment of our grandchildren and kids who had looked forward to it, especially since we had red flag days and cool cloudy days where we would certainly have enjoyed it.Overall we still had fun because we tried to overlook the issues, but I would recommend that the management company hire inspectors who might have discovered these issues prior to our booking rather than after we arrived and reported them ourselves.If you are ok with things not being brand new and drill down on the amenities being available, the location & porch view were great.

Great location. Awesome views. Super setup.
Great location and convenient to the Island City Center. The property was well stocked with utensils, etc.
The property needs a really good deep cleaning. Several in our party had respiratory issues during the stay.
Overall, we plan to give this place another try next year.
Large open kitchen and family room. The only disappointment was the outdoor grill was old/rusted and didn't work. I called for service w/property manager, but they never responded. Given the size of our group and purpose of our visit this was definitely a bummer.
First visit to St. George Island - very low key and family friendly. Loved the area.
