Labor Day weekend

This was our third time renting this property. Overall the house is clean and you can’t beat the beachfront access. We experienced a couple of issues on this last stay, but notified owner/ property manager and they took quick action to resolve. Russell

Best Value House on the Island

I think it is the best value house on the island. The pictures don’t do the house justice. The pool, kitchen, living room, and porches were much larger than we had expected. It also looked much newer than what we thought it would from the photos. The house was cleaned to perfection before we checked in. The property owner or manager was also the most wonderful one we have dealt with. She was very communicative and upon check in we had a few questions and requests. The responses were quick. She was so nice and went the extra mile to ensure everything in our stay was perfect. A couple notes that future renters might want to know. Below the deck was a large stock of everything you could ever want. Many beach toys and chairs in various conditions (some good and some not) but there was so much more than we could ever use. Inside the house there are 4 new chairs and an umbrella. As mentioned in the listing, no beach towels are provided. It is the first beach house we have stayed that they are not provided but we brought plenty of our own. The kitchen has everything you could ever need but there is no dedicated pantry. We moved some stuff around because there are plenty of cabinets and had room to put our dry groceries. Overall it is a near perfect house. We don’t usually stay at the same house twice in St George but we are certainly already looking at booking here again because of how wonderful it was.

Best house on the island

20 steps to the sand. The ocean is your own personal oasis with this house. It’s perfect all around. The pool is way bigger than the pictures look and very deep(we loved). Kitchen well stocked and plenty towels, washcloths, garbage bags and dish soap was a plus. I truly don’t have anything negative to say. Stay in this house, you won’t regret it.

Great place to stay right on the beach

The Jolly Mon is a great place to stay right on the beach. The house was the perfect size for the 5 of us (4 adults and one teenager). While most of our time was spent together hanging out, the rooms were large enough where you could retreat back to your room for a nap or a little quiet time (like on the rainy day of our vacation). We cooked burgers on the green egg which was nice to have around. The beach chairs and other accessories under the house were also appreciated since we weren't able to bring our own. The updated bathrooms were very nice and everything was very clean, which can be hard to do with the salt of the ocean and the sand from the beach. My only recommendation for an improvement would be the upstairs king bed which really needs replacing as it had a couple body-sized soft spots/divots which you ultimately rolled into no matter how else you tried to sleep.

Best Fall Break Vacation

We absolutely loved the beach house and the location. A few steps and you’re on the beach. The house was exceptional and was exactly as described. Very clean!! We had 5 adults and 4 young children, the house was the perfect size for us. The bunk room with a bathroom was perfect for Gigi and her grandbabies. Both couples had their own private bedroom and bathroom. There was some flooring damage in which we were told about in advance & was told it would be replaced after bookings. The pool was a perfect size and easily accessible. I recommend paying the extra to have it heated. We just loved the convenience of the house and the closeness to the water. The back porch was my favorite spot of the house. All communication was great, all questions were answered immediately. We will most definitely rent Jolly Mon in the future.

Our second year at Jolly Mon

This was our second year at the Jolly Mon and our 5th year at SGI. The remodel downstairs bathroom was a pleasant surprise. We love the pool. Its the perfect size. The walk to the beach is super short and easy. Our only complaint was that the house had some deferred maintanence issues. The floor had a mushy spot in the living room. There was a place in the kitchen where the flooring was coming up and was very sharp.

Loved the Jolly Mon

House was just as expected- clean, updated, nicely decorated, and a beautiful view from every room! We absolutely loved being right on the beach and having a private pool (fenced for safety). The house was well-stocked for cooking, and we loved grilling on the Big Green Egg. There was plenty of beach gear- chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. We enjoyed every minute at the Jolly Mon and didn't want to leave! It's a perfect house for a large family to feel at home. We hope to stay again next year!

We love Jolly Mon!

Our 2nd stay here. The location is great. The property has a nice sized pool, which can be heated for a fee. The pool usually has some shaded areas & some sunny areas throughout the day. The beach is quite clean & soft & just an easy short walk from the house. Beach umbrellas, chairs & toys are available. There is nice parking. The home is cheerful with beach-facing windows & porches on both levels. The kitchen is well stocked with quality equipment. Beds are comfortable; bathrooms are very nice. We received a detailed welcome/instruction sheet from the owner a week before our time was to begin. No problems arose during our stay, but I have every confidence Susan or her team would have addressed it quickly. The Internet was sootty, but we think that’s an island issue. The tvs are large & worked well. The house had a few games & puzzles. Truly!— we completely enjoy a vacation at Jolly Mon & find the nearly 14 hr drive to be worth it. I have a couple small suggestions— more than an 8 piece flatware set. We were constantly washing forks & spoons; the 1st floor bathriom door at living room doesn’t close tight to lick & the 2nd floor king room had the same issue. Finally, if you go & have temperature-diverse compnions, take a couple blankets. The a/c works well & all the areas have ceiling fans, so anyone who gets cool easily may want a blanket & there were none stored in the home. As my personal FB post states, “ Jolly Mon & St George Island do NOT disappoint!”

Breathtaking Island Getaway!

We had a fabulous vacation at Jolly Mon! The ocean views are truly breathtaking and the house is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The whole family loved listening to the sounds of the ocean while enjoying the pool. That really set this house apart for us. We would love to return as soon as possible for some more Vitamin Sea!

The perfect spot for our annual family vacation! Can’t wait to visit again next year!

Jolly Mon had everything we needed for an amazing week at the beach. Step off the front porch and your toes are immediately in the sand and a few steps more to the ocean. Relaxing on the front porch, reading a book while listening to the waves was my favorite. The kids loved the private swimming pool, day and night! Our party of 8 had plenty of space to spread out. We have already booked Jolly Mon again next year!

Good Spring Break but could even be Better!!

Our Jolly Mon stay was enjoyed by our family but we handled some challenges along the way. Jolly Mon location, the house layout and amenities were as described online. The updated showers were modern and fresh and new unlike the photos we saw on VRBO. We enjoyed the Gulf Waters by fishing and swimming and our private swimming pool was clean and a good size. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and could sleep 8-10 people comfortably. We did have challenges however with the stovetop beeping, the oven not working, Trex decking & stairs nail heads protruding, lower bunkbed mattresses falling to the floor and overgrown shrubs and prickly bushes outside. Maintenance was called and they attended to fixing the stovetop, cutting back some of the shrubs and removing some of the nails. However we could have had maintenace/repair people working on the property each day which cut into our Spring Break / vacation time. I would recommend replacing the "Big Green Egg" Grill with an easy to use gas grill. My rating gave Jolly Mon 3 stars but taking care of repairs and some storage area cleanout and organizing could make it a 5 star for future guests. We enjoyed our time but it could have been even better!

This is the second time we have stayed at Jolly Mon. It is a great location and the owner could not be nicer. There were 5 adults and 4 kids (10 and under) and there was plenty of room. Great beach access and a swimming pool! Would stay here again if it available on our schedule.

Great Beach House

We loved our stay in Jolly Mon. You step through the door and your views are breathtaking. The house has all the amenities you need. The pool was wonderful, you can relax in the pool while listening to the ocean. We love setting on the back deck and relaxing watching the dolphins. One of the most important things is the beds are very comfortable( we usually don’t have comfortable beds in a vacation rental). The owners are great to work with. We have found a great vacation house to rent again and again.
