We are repeat clients of Cape and Coast (4th trip to St George) and we couldn't be more pleased.

We rented this house last year and returned this year because it is just perfect for our large group of friends and family. So hard to find a house with a huge family table where we can all eat together, and a lower level living area where the younger set can stay up as late as they want. The elevator really helps with move in and out, and with our older guests. And it is all just gorgeous, with the best-equipped kitchen - so important for all the foodies in our group. The beach is beautiful, the covered porches where you can be outside in all kinds of weather, and the endless paths for walking and biking are great for those who want to be active. I, for one, hardly leave the house and beach, but some of us venture into nearby towns and enjoy their exploring, and this is the perfect home base. Cape and Coast was so helpful with replacement ice delivery when the ice maker broke, and replacement gas canister when we ran out, and they are always so available and helpful whenever needed. They even helped with suggestions for a ride-share for someone who needed pick up in Tallahassee. We have rented various houses from them for about 10 years, and they are always above and beyond. Another fabulous, memory-making vacation!

Top of the Stretch was fantastic. We have been coming to SGI for over 30 years so we have rented many houses. Cape and Coast did a great job. Thank you

There are several things we loved about this home: - There are plenty of bathrooms! - The master suite on the top floor is incredible. - The dining room table that seats 12 people was perfect for our big group. - The kitchen appliances are top notch. - The interior design of the home is very well done.

Most beautiful house
The most beautiful house in the most beautiful setting! Sunrises - and moonrises - were spectacular. Amazing walks on the beach with my beloved pup a few times a day. We have vacationed through Cape and Coast, and other companies in other locations, for about 15 years, and this was the best-equipped kitchen we've ever had. Everything we needed, and all in excellent shape. We met Miki, the relationship manager, when she was overseeing the installation of a new range, and she was a delight! Helpful, knowledgeable, so enthusiastic about the area, your company, the homes, and her place in all of it. She made a great experience even better. You all are the best!
