Wow!

Super location that is secluded but just a minutes walk from the beach!The bikes that came with the property we're great! As a family we probably spent more time on those than in the water! Such a peaceful place! We're in love with the island and this property!

Great location! In plantation gated community. 2 min walk to the beach. Had excellent amenities, as well as the plantation club house. Kids loved the bikes to ride. Clean house with a beautiful view. Loved the surrounding foliage that gave some nice privacy as well. Definitely would come here again!

Family Perfect!!

Last minute get away with my seventeen year old son. Everything was absolutely perfect!! House has everything you would need, plus so many more fun extras. We enjoyed riding the bicycles provided by the owner to the community pool. Communication response time was excellent and helpful. Thankful for spending quality time in a relaxing atmosphere before he begins his senior year. Memories for a life time.

Back to the Beach

Back to the Beach is an excellent vacation home. The home is lovely inside and out. The home is nicely furnished with plenty of room for a large family. The space under the house is very nice also and a great place to hang out when tired of the sun. Wendy is an excellent host and so nice to provide beach chairs, umbrellas and a beach cart. I highly recommend this home and hope to stay again.

Excellent In Every Respect

Our experience renting Back To The Beach was excellent in every respect. Wendy, the owner, was great to work with. Communication was very proactive and detailed both in advance of and during our stay. We had 4 adults and 2 young children and the layout of the house was perfect for us. The house is located on a quite nice large shaded lot across the street from the beach, with very good views and easy short walking access to the beach. Additionally, the owners really want to make their guests stay as enjoyable as possible and provide beach chairs, a beach wagon, bicycles, etc., all of which were in very good condition. We had stayed at St. George Island many times, but this was our first time in the Plantation; the Plantation is more scenic, much more private and better maintained than the rest of the Island which is still quite nice in itself. Bottomline, our experience in renting Back To The Beach was excellent in every respect.

Great getaway

Back to the Beach was a wonderful place to stay! It is mere steps from the beautiful beach, and had many amenities. The eclectic decor was enchanting. The home was clean and well-maintained, and kitchen was very well equipped. Provided games and puzzles kept our family entertained every night! Beach chairs and bicycles kept us busy every day. We brought paddle boards to use in Nick’s Hole inside the Plantation. Best of all, Wendy made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Piece of paradise

Wendy was absolutely wonderful to work with - very helpful from prior to booking through the last day of trip- very responsive and a caring host! ‘Back to the Beach’ provided a relaxing and fun environment to create a memorable vacation with our family! The home is beautiful, spacious and clean. Bikes, kayak, beach toys/chairs so helpful to have accessible! Fun activities within minutes of our front door from pickleball, corn hole to the pool and fitness center. Our trip to SGI and ‘Back to the Beach’ will remain a special memory close to our hearts!

Awesome place to stay in St. George!

Back to the Beach was our favorite house we've ever stayed in on St. George Island. The rooms are oversized and comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked and the proximity to the beach was amazing. The house is very secluded yet right there at the beach access walkway. The house was clean and everything (like internet!) was in working order. We arrived to a thoughtful welcome basket which was greatly appreciated and all of the instructions for the house, access codes, etc. were clearly displayed. Wendy is a wonderful host and provides a lot of extras like bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and a cart - it was a dream to go to the beach and not have to bring those items. She is also very accommodating and responsive. 10/10 - great experience!

A Delightful Stay!

We stayed at Back to the Beach for two weeks - we were five older adults and two 20yos - and everyone was comfortable and happy with the house. The house had everything as described along with many extras. We used the chairs, umbrellas, cart, floats, paddleboard, and the bikes - it was so great of the owners to share them with us. The kitchen had everything we needed, including two types of coffee machines, a variety of sharp knives, lots of pots and pans, and cleansers. The mattresses were of excellent quality, and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets. There were a lot of seating options for watching movies comfortably, playing games, eating, working on puzzles, and reading. The community was beautiful and quiet. We've stayed in a lot of houses all over SGI for the past 35 years, and the center of the island can be very active - and that which might be what you're looking for. At Back to the Beach, we saw lots of people, but we enjoyed the overall quiet of the neighborhood and always found a good spot on the beach. (No fireworks in the middle of the night this year to scare our dog, thank goodness!) We enjoyed bike rides in the natural environment and being able to use the community workout room, too.Wendy checked on us periodically and treated us like guests. Our communication was friendly and easy, and I felt very comfortable touching base with her throughout our stay.The fam gave me lots of points for booking BttB! This one's a keeper! Thanks, Wendy!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Giovannotto

Host profile image
My Husband and I met 43 years ago as high school sweethearts in New York. We then moved to Atlanta for him to attend Chiropractic college at Life University. Atlanta became our home where we raised our 4 children. We have always loved vacationing with our children and creating memories together. We truly enjoy spending time together as a family! My husband and I always promised each other one day...we would get back to the beach! The time finally came, our dream became a reality "Back To The Beach". After 9 years of ownership, many fun trips and countless memories. We decided we wanted to share it with others so they could experience St. George Island as well.
We hope you create the best memories in our home with your family and friends during your stay at Back To The Beach!
