A Minor Distraction

This house was very clean. It has a very short walk to the beach which was great with kids. The screened in porches make for a great extra living space.

Great visit to SHI

We had a great time. Wish I had booked directly with VACSA and saved the 300 Vrbo booking charge, especially since all the messaging was with VACSA.Would definitely go back.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

From the moment we reserved until the moment we checked out, everything was wonderful. Communication with the property management group, Vacasa, was clear and prompt. Upon arrival, we noted how clean and well-appointed the house was. The layout of the home was perfect for our family (grandparents, parents, children). Such an easy walk to the beach made it nice for carrying what we needed. And, it was a quick walk back to the house if we forgot something. It was easy and convenient to cook meals at the house because of how well-appointed the kitchen was. We would def rebook for our next trip to SGI!

Minor Distraction SGI

We LOVED SGI beaches & how pristine waters were!!! It was so nice to have the beach to ur self! We saw dolphins multiple times a day! Paddleboards & floats were a hit! Other than mishaps w house the beach and island itself was awesome! We love the off the beaten path places where u can just enjoy nature & SGI checked all boxes for us! The plantation is great area! We wld gladly stay in area again - different house!!!

A Minor Distraction Getaway

Excellent location in the plantation, we were here for a wedding in the Plantation Clubhouse and the proximity to the clubhouse was great! The house is very spacious and was clean upon arrival. Check in/out were very smooth. I would definitely stay here again!

Great week

We enjoyed this house with a well equipped kitchen. The big screened porches off second and third floors were so nice. We were a short walk away from the beach via a path next to the house. We used both community pools. Would rent agin if we come back to St George Is

Wonderful distraction!

The house was just perfect for our stay. Beach path right next to the house, updated and very clean interior with 2 screened in porches that make the house feel huge! Plenty of space for 10 people comfortably! Outdoor shower was a life saver for tending to sandy kids! Checkout was a breeze. No worries, just run the dishwasher, pack up and leave!

A Minor Distraction Review

The pros: This house is perfectly located with lush native vegetation and easy access to the beach. The bedrooms, living room/dining/kitchen areas are decorated nicely. We loved the expansive screened in porches that were accessible from the living areas and all bedrooms. The table on the porch provided a great area for extra seating for Thanksgiving. The dinnerware is plentiful, but the flatware needs replacing. In general, the kitchen is moderately equipped. The cons: This house has 6 flights of stairs (six steps each flight) for 36 stair steps and makes loading and unloading and accessing the ground floor rather challenging. For those who have limited mobility, this would not be an ideal situation. There is only one way in or out of this home, begging the question: "What to do if that one escape route is blocked by fire?" The bathrooms need updating badly in all areas. The dryer takes forever to dry a load of clothes. Because the lint filter no longer goes into the lint collection slot properly, I suspect that the lint hose is clogged, making it a potential fire hazard. With a little TLC and an elevator added to the already-in-place shaft, this place would be perfect.
