Great Time

Nice home and great location. Perfect for our two teenagers and the two friends they brought with them. We have stayed in several of the island cottages over the years and enjoyed this one very much. There are a few maintenance issues that need to be attended to but nothing that will affect your vacation in a negative way.

Lovely Stay

We had a great time! House is close to everything, which is convenient, but it does mean it is busy in the area. The public beach access is right next door so the beach in front of the house gets crowded quickly. The teen boys spent most of their time in the game room and had a blast. Will probably need an upgrade to the equipment down there soon as a lot of it is quite worn. The house does have a ton of steps so if you have limited mobility, do not stay here. Rooms were comfortable. Living room furniture was not the cleanest but it wasn’t a deal breaker. House could use a deep clean but was overall very nice and comfortable. A good time was had by all!

Beach house

The property was good only about half or less of the jets work in the hottub and the bottom bedroom door is almost impossible to open. The water got cut off when we was cleaning trying to get ready to leave. The game room doors was hard to open.

Nice location; needs some cleaning and maintenance.

We enjoyed our stay. Location and view are great. The unit needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance, starting with the front door. Very disappointed in the game room. It is located in the area below the main living area. It is cluttered and the equipment is old. We didn't use the hot tub as it is also down there and just not a very inviting atmosphere.

Heart of Town

This house was perfect for me, my husband and son. My son loved the games downstairs and the hot tub was perfect for the cooler days when we couldn’t swim. Loved being in the heart of town where we could walk to everything. Having the park and lighthouse basically in the yard was great as well. They had everything we needed for our stay for the week. We will definitely be back soon!

Week of July 4th

We had a great time at this property. The house was exactly as described. The only issue we had was that we could not get the tv to work in one of the bedrooms. We really didn't need it and I waited until we left to report it.

Incredible location and responsive property manager!

If you prefer to be in the middle of the action (even on drama-free SGI), this is a perfect house. It’s adjacent to the park and lighthouse, so easily walkable to all the island’s food and drink. This house has everything you need, but there were a few quirks: the slider in the main room requires quite a bit of muscle to open and close and we could never get it to lock; the dishwasher’s capability is questionable; there was mildew in my shower that some tilex would likely have eliminated; and there is no spigot outside for foot-washing (just a shower that sprays uncontrollably). But the good far outweighs these smallish negatives. As mentioned, location is unbeatable, beds are clean and comfy, and when the upstairs AC wasn’t performing as it should, Heather was incredibly responsive and the problem was resolved within 24 hours. The kitchen is nicely stocked and the house provided the perfect home for our weeklong stay with grandparents, teenagers and a dog!

Great Location

It was the perfect location right on the beach. The home's balconies are extended more than most of the homes which is such a nice feature. It is the first house next to the lighthouse so everything is within walking distance. The island is so nice with no high rises and a very peaceful friendly atmosphere. Every question we had Heather responded right away.

We love this house!

We love this house. This is the third time we have stayed a week in this home. Wonderful vacation with family! The only negative would be one of the bedrooms was not usable as the bed was broken. Looks like it had been repaired before as there was two by fours nailed together under the bed to help keep it together. When I contacted the manager she said I will fix it for the next renters as I can't antisapate these things. Didn't make me feel like I got what I paid for. I would still stay here again, just disappointed. I would sleep on the floor in this home as I love st George so much!

Saint George Island FL

The property was in a wonderful location a short walk to the beach very clean very well equipped. Only thing we were disappointed in was the advertised recreational items under the house. Pool table foosball really we’re in bad shape. Great restaurants within walking distance we really had a fun time.

Location is terrific

It was great being right near town on the beach and on the bike path. Views were outstanding. Improvements needed: pool cues have no tips, so playing pool wasn't possible. One master downstairs was spacious and remodeled; the other needs a chest of drawers and updated bathroom.

The morning sunrise are amazing!

Great house, great location and the best sunrises I've seen! Everything was great! We liked having the vacant public access lot next to us due to the other houses on the street where so close to each other. A plus-You can see the lighthouse from the primary shower. My only complaint. There was not enough bath, hand or kitchen towels. Bathroom off kitchen did not have hand towels. The kitchen only had one towel and if a person used a towel for their body and one for their hair, someone did not get a towel. Bring your own.

Love this place

This is such a beautiful place. The morning sunrises and the sounds of the beach from the deck are breaktaking. Everything is within walking distance. Everything is so peaceful and laid back. The only thing we would improve is having more supplies like toilet paper and trash bags. There was one roll in each bathroom and one trash bag in each can. But that didn't diminish in anyway how wonderful this place is!

The property was amazing! I was worried about being in the middle of everything, but it was perfect! Not too noisy, crowded, or anything negative. And we were right there at everything and could thoroughly enjoy the island. Heather was SUPER nice and helpful. Our bed had been broken by a previous guest and she had someone show up and build us a whole new frame, while we enjoyed the beach. Super responsive! I would definitely go back! And we saw dolphins!! Perfect!

Beachfront is Great but learned some lessons for next time...

The Great - This house is located right on the beach and in that regard we loved the quick and easy walk to the beach as well as the almost constant breeze. The bedrooms are very nice and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with most of the appliances and amenities you'd expect. The home served its purpose and we all had a great week at the beach... Heather (Management) was phenomenal throughout our interaction with her, both before arrival, during our stay and afterwards. The Good - The house is in the heart of what Franklin County refers to as the Business District. We learned some lessons along the way that need to be stated... The public beach access, lighthouse, basketball courts, bars, ice cream shops, donut shop, fresh seafood trucks, gas stations & grocery stores are all within walking distance, which can be great! But it can also be noisy at times. In fact one bar, Harry A's can get very loud on Thursday & Friday nights during the summer months. In fact, according to Franklin County there is a Noise Ordinance (I asked), but the "Business District" is excluded from this and Harry A's is allowed to pump the music until they close at 2am. This is not something the homeowner or management can change. This is not a knock on them, it's simply a fact and something that needs to be known. If this is not your cup of tea, then go East or West into the Plantation. Additional Comments - To Chelsea (previous review) It is not mold on the vents! How do I know this? Because I checked. It was a small amount of dust coming out of the vents. Know your facts before you go off the reservation and start slinging untruths at management. Treat people as you want to be treated. Is this home immaculate? No, but neither is any Beachfront rental property.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

My name is Heather and I am the property manager for Serendipity along with a few others on the island. I was born and raised in Apalachicola which is just across the bridge. I LOVE the beach and love to be able to help guests enjoy it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This property is very unique as it is the closest home to the lighthouse and is very central. It's right in the middle of the island which allows you to basically walk to everything if you wanted to. There is a grocery store, ice cream shop and souvenir shop right across the street. The lighthouse is basically in the front yard and the beach is right outside the back door. The decks were extended to provide more space to gather and enjoy the sunrise and perfect sunsets. The lower level was enclosed and converted to a "game room" where there is a hot tub also with a pool table and other games to enjoy.
