Rise N Shine

We loved our dog enjoying the surf

Rise N Shine housed our family of 5 -- (2) adults and (3) children (4, 2, newborn). We would stay here again. First and foremost, you can't beat the location and the view is incredible from each room in the house. We enjoyed the front porch and Adirondack chairs with the whole family. It's seamless to get to the beach via the boardwalk and avoids sand spurs! There was a shower / foot wash at the end of the boardwalk to remove excess sand which was convenient (although I wish there was a hose connection to it). The furniture was comfortable/functional and the kitchen provided most essential items for cooking meals. Check-in / check-out was simple and the property manager was communicative. The bedrooms were spacious and we easily fit a pack n' play in the master next to our king bed. Two things for families to take note of: 1) the guest room has a king bed which makes it challenging to sleep two toddlers together 2) there is no bathtub in either bathroom -- both of these we knew upon booking but an FYI. The main negative from our trip was the smell of smoke upon entering the property which caused us to rate the cleanliness lower. The rest of the property was spotless. We notified the property manager who has been in communication with my wife - we purchased a candle to mask the smell and eventually got used to it but caused us to wash every item we brought when we got back home. All in all, it was a great trip, we enjoyed the property & would be one we rebook in the future.

This is such a pretty island and a great little house with a wonderful view.

Loved the location and beach access and the beautiful views!

We loved being right on the beach, the views of the beach from the house, and the bedrooms were nice size with comfy beds.

This is a very nice little house right on the water with a great walk out. St. George Island is a very slow-paced relaxing place.

We loved staying at Rise and Shine! It was perfect for my husband and I and our dogs. There are 2 bedrooms if you have a larger group. The views are priceless and are seen from every corner of this home! We also loved the ease of the private boardwalk to the beach. The house is on a quiet spot of the beach centered between 2 public access points. We are ready to book this home again!

We loved the house and how clean it was when we arrived. It’s so awesome to be directly on the beach and to have a view of the ocean from every room

Love being so close to the beach and the porch outside

Rise n Shine is our favorite place to stay on SGI. We have been coming for over 25 years. It was perfect for us. The place was immaculate & so comfortable. It was really hard to leave this year. We are ocean lovers & would never stay anywhere but beach front. So thankful for our trip this year.

Rise & Shine was just perfect for the two of us. The home and proximity to near by restaurants was perfect. The view, the beach, and deck fantastic. Bike trail to east end State Park much appreciated. The State Park is the most beautiful Florida State Park we’ve ever seen!

Great Location!

This is just a wonderful beach house. The location is outstanding, right on a quiet stretch of beach. The house itself was well decorated, very clean, and had everything we could need. I could have prepared dinner for a large group in that kitchen (but I didn’t because we were on vacation!) All the appliances, including the washer and dryer, were of good quality. The beds were very comfortable. The living room furniture was most comfortable, too. We were there for two weeks and it was easy to keep clean, even with us coming in from the beach with a dog. It was exactly what I had hoped for. We had a great, relaxing time. I had one interaction with the property manager. The first night when we couldn’t log on to the wifi and after traveling all that day, I was pretty grumpy and left a message for her. Early the next morning, a Sunday, she called right back and quickly resolved our problem. We had no other issues during our stay but I felt confident that she would have taken care of anything had we needed her.

What a great little place for a small family of four. The beach access was fabulous! Had everything we needed. There are some cosmetic things that need to be taken care of but overall this is a great place and I would stay here again.

Can’t wait to go back

This was the best time I've ever had. The house was steps from the beach with amazing views. I will definitely be back.

Loved this place. Shared bathroom upstairs and another full bath with stacked washer/dryer downstairs. Large deck overlooking ocean with plenty of seating. Bring an umbrella (you'll need it). Stargazing at night is amazing. Plenty of living room seating. Table and 4 chairs for dining. Blocks from island center, restaurants, shopping. 3.5m bike ride to lovely state park at end of island. All island beaches, except beaches in state park (wildlife sanctuary), are dog-friendly. This is doggie beach paradise. Great beach combing for shells. Sunrise and sunset over the gulf side from this home! How is that possible?!

We loved our stay at Rise & Shine! It’s the cutest little beach front cottage. The location is obviously great, right on the beach and we rented bikes with the credit offered and able to take an easy ride to Paddy’s and Blue Parrot. The beds are extremely comfortable, kitchen well equipped, check in and out easy, the large back deck was great, cottage very clean and decorated just adorable. I just can’t say enough good things about Rise & Shine!! ��

Cute house with private boardwalk to the beach. Views of beach from every window. Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, kitchen with everything you need. Nice living area open to kitchen downstairs. Short golf cart ride to restaurants and shopping. Very comfortable beach home! Easy checkin and check out process. Helpful staff
