On the Half Shell

Super spacious for our family of 8. Nice pool and short walk across the street to the ocean. Our family was requesting to rebook before we even left.

House and view was awesome! Home had everything you need for a perfect vacation! The deck was our favorite spot to enjoy the beach view and watch the dolphins! We will be back! Thanks to Cape and Coast for answering all our questions in a timely manner!

I honestly am thrilled with the home and with Cape and Coast. The little touches in the home were noticed and appreciated. Excellent communication. Excellent value. We will be doing business with you guys again!

The house is amazing

Leslie H - Posted: 4/15/2024

We had everything we needed to cook & wash clothes and enjoy our vacation. We had plenty of towels and dishsoap. Everything was communicated to us about what to bring and how to get into the house. The tablet was useful for the Wi-Fi b/c it did require a password which was different than the email. We had plenty of room and were just steps away from the beach.

The location and layout of the actual home were perfect for the little ones who were on this trip with 6 adults. Having our own pool was a must and this one was the perfect size- we enjoyed the outdoor covered area on the hot days when a shade break was needed.

The property was immaculate, spacious, clean, and nearly right on top of the ocean. The staff was also responsive and friendly. Thanks!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. This beach house is wonderful for a large family. Lovely, well equipped, and spacious. The pool area is beautiful, and the pool heater worked great. The area under the house is spacious and clean as well. Wonderful for games and riding bikes.

Great place for a quiet family getaway.

This property was absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend it enough!! My family and I have been visiting St. George Island annually for many years now, and this home has been one of my favorites by far! Our group ended up having 10 females (+1 pup), and the home was spacious enough for all of us to live for a week without feeling cramped. The large kitchen island and dining tables were a phenomenal touch as we cooked 95% of our meals on this trip. The pool was a big hit with everyone and we split most of our time between there and the beach! Plus the outdoor seating options (deck and poolside) were well shaded and spacious! The carport below the house was an amazing use of space as well as it comfortably fit 3 large SUVS, 2 large golf carts, several beach wagons, and lots of beach gear! I do wish there were some amber or sea turtle friendly lights installed in the outdoor areas as it was a little difficult to navigate the stairs without turning on the bright flood lights at night, but this is just a suggestion and definitely wouldn’t stop me from staying here again!! We are all so grateful for the hosts hospitality and we hope to book this property again in the future! Cheers!

Home is in a great location and easy access to the beach. The rooms were all clean and comfortable. The Property Management Co was very helpful and easy to reach and always responded quickly

Home was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. Loved that the appliances were fairly new and in great working condition. Our favorite spot was the pool and the front porch. Nice furniture on both! The porch furniture was very comfortable and the table was great for outside dining. I do think that there needs to be a handrail for entering and exiting pool. A little difficulty locating the steps at the side and not in center where there is a good size drop! Overall a very nice place!

Hi Angie! Thanks so much for your review. We will run your idea about the steps handrail by the owner. For any potential guest reading this review this pool has a large sun shelf at the shallow end of the pool that has three steps down. You can see a good picture of it on picture #49

We really enjoyed our stay this past February! The house was well maintained and well stocked. We really appreciated the supplies that were in the kitchen that were available for our use. Beds were very comfy! Fantastic location and can’t wait for next year.

Great location, well maintained and comfortable house with a nice view of the ocean. On the quiet small street , right across from the water.

This house is clean, beautifully decorated and the property manager made everything clear and easy from check in to check out. The house feels warm and the beach views, especially the sunrises, are wonderful. We had everything we needed and more! The kids always had something to do, either playing at the beach just across the street or playing in the pool. Even on rainy days, there was a tv in each room for entertainment. We would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you for the wonderful beach vacation.

This was our first trip to SGI, and this house was fantastic and met our needs perfectly! We had 3 families in the house with 5 kids under the age of 8, with 2 under 18 months of age. This is was perfect for the toddlers, with no steps inside to worry about, the pool fenced off to keep the kids in or out, and the front balcony had the stairs gated off so we could have less worries with the little ones outside. The parking area under the house was great for playing corn hole and had plenty of seating for everybody to gather around. The house itself was clean, well stocked, they provided nice, big, thick beach towel, kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, even a pack n’ play was in the kid’s closet and high chair in the kitchen, dishwasher and laundry detergent was also provided. The open floor plan is great so everybody can be together with plenty of seating. Beds were all comfortable with plenty of pillows and linens provided. The beach access is across the street and 1 house down, making it convenient and easy to go back and forth between the house, pool, and beach. We have no complaints and we will definitely be back! At the end of the week we found ourselves saying “Just One More Day” so the house is appropriately named.

Our children and their significant others join us each year for vacation. This house was a perfect fit for everyone.

Renting was easy just booked online and all payments was made online. Stayed from Saturday to Saturday had a amazing week. From the moment walked in the door the clean smell was soooo very inviting. Plenty of room for my family, love the layout. Large kitchen and living area made for some wonderful memories being made with our granddaughter. The view of the ocean is wonderful with just a short walk to the beach. Spent lots of time on the large front deck. Enjoyed the small but lovely pool. And at night each could go to their bedroom and have lots of privacy. We have stayed in several beach houses and never untill this time found "the one". Loved the fact that no need to bring beach towels, beach chairs...nothing. will definitely be coming back to this house when we visit the island next time...hopefully in 2020!!!! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your beautiful home for the week. ???????? The Logsdon's Kentucky

Great house, great location!

Enjoyed our stay!!

Gerry C. - Posted: 8/19/2019

House was amazing from the beautiful location to the luxurious beach towels provided. Easy access to the beach, shaded pool area, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable outside sitting area, comfortable beds, and lots of space for everyone to chill. Only drawback is that you cannot access the house without being exposed to the weather because the overhang of the house doesn't cover the steps. No big deal except when we first arrived and were unloading after a nice rain shower.

Dena B. - Posted: 8/15/2019

Second year staying here. We love it. Only thing I might change is to.put a safety bar on pool steps for toddlers and old folks

Cindy S. - Posted: 6/16/2019

The house was perfect the views, the pool, the porch, and all the extra's that was provided made for a great week at the beach!

Cathy B. - Posted: 5/20/2019

We stayed for four weeks in January- February, 2019. All aspects of the property are absolutely great. View of the ocean, access to beach, cleanliness, pool, room size, appliances, etc. The owner of this property did it right.

This was our first trip to SGI and it did not disappoint! This is a beautiful home and is set up nicely to accommodate large groups. We were traveling with several young children and they loved having the private pool. When we arrived - we were delightfully surprised the house was ready earlier than expected! We found the kitchen lacking some essentials, but contacted Carla and she quickly brought us those items! Overall we had a wonderful stay. If I could provide any kind of suggestions (only to make a great thing better) would be to request to have the AMAZING front deck screened in. We spent ample time out there as there was a great breeze at all times, but come dusk the mosquitoes ran us inside QUICK! I don't know if it was because of the time of year we were there (7/28-8/4) or if the rains had anything to do with it, but it was still a bummer to have to retreat to the house every night as soon as the sun started to set - especially since we had already planned to play outdoor games and hang out under the house every evening. We would highly recommend this home to others, and would love to visit again in the future!

Thanks so much for the great house! We really enjoyed every aspect of the home.

Ryan G. - Posted: 8/23/2018

The home is beautiful!! It had everything we needed and more!! Having a private pool was great! The only suggestion we have is to add a handrail to enter the pool. We had grandma with us and she had a hard time getting in and out of the pool (some other adults did too). We ended up putting a chair and a cooler there to use as a handrail. The ocean view is amazing!! Even though it is across the street from the beach, you could still hear the waves and there was easy access to the beach. We will be back for sure! We fell in love with the island and the house! Was perfect for our families to vacation!

Jeff G. - Posted: 8/3/2018

This was our first visit to St George, total experience exceeded our expectations! House is beautiful, and although it’s not directly on the beach the view is gorgeous & access to beach is about a 2 minute walk. We will be booking again for next year!!!
