This location was excellent, the beach was right across the street and a short walk over the dune boardwalk. The cottage was clean and bright. The kitchen was well supplied. The downtown area was just a 20 minute walk. The area was very quiet, not much traffic at all.

Great stay
Beach Bum is one of the few smaller places in St George, perfect for 2-4 people. Steps away from the beach, refreshing pool, and very cute neighborhood. Good communication with the manager too.

Great family time
Our stay was perfect. Not a huge house, but perfect size for what we were looking for. We spent more time across the street at the beach! So close and easy to set up our beach spot and come home for lunch, or a dip in the pool!! ♥️

Great location
Was nice having the beach right across the street. Just pick up your beach chair and go. The apartment was very clean and the linens on the bed, fresh and crisp. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our fresh seafood. The pool was an added bonus. Was nice to take a dip in after our morning walks.
