Wonderful vacation home

House and location was absolutely breathtaking - the open concept and layout of the bedrooms was perfect. Only complaint was that the house was in need of a few updates and a really good deep clean. Owner was very responsive and offered an early check in, as the home was cleaned and available a bit earlier than expected. We a wonderful vacation and the best time. We enjoyed the breeze from the covered porch, watching dolphins from the dining room and were even blessed to watch a nest of sea turtles hatch and make their trek to the gulf. We do not regret our decision in booking this house and would love to come back!

Dream beach house

This house was perfect for our family. The location right on the beach was beyond convenient! The house was clean with the perfect combination of separate rooms and bathrooms but a great family space to spend time together. Great kitchen, as we cook all our meals when we are there. We will definitely come back!

Spectacular home with spectacular views

This home exceeded our expectations! Exactly as represented in the listing. Spacious and comfortable. The chef’s kitchen is a dream for a rental property with top-of-the-line appliances and well-equipped. Exceptional views from inside and outside the home and mere steps from the beach. The outdoor space is cozy and inviting. Beach chairs and towels are available for use. Excellent pet-friendly home with a gate on the deck. Beautiful gas firepit and park-style charcoal grill are available as well. The sunrises were spectacular in October. Our host was extremely responsive and friendly. We can't wait to return next year!

Great Stay

The property was beautiful and spacious. The amenities were great and home furnishings were very accommodating. The only downfall was not being able to use the elevator. This can be an issue for those not being able to walk up flights of stairs and bringing items up to the upper levels of the property.

Disappointed by non-working refrigerator and dishwasher, and other problems too.

Upon arrival we smelled a gas leak. The owner shut off the gas to solve that problem, but then the gas grill, gas fire pit and gas fireplaces could not be used. Next we discovered that the refrigerator and dishwasher did not work. The owner brought a cooler and ice, but we lost much of the food we purchased, we had to drive out to purchase ice each day, we drained coolers each day, we hand-washed dishes and bought paperware and ate more at restaurants. The toaster and coffee maker worked poorly, and while the owner said he would bring replacements, he did not. We borrowed a toaster and coffee maker from a friend who lives relatively nearby. There was black mold on two bathroom ceilings. The owner suspected it was mildew and said he would send a worker with a ladder to clean the problem, but he did not do so. We encountered a terrible odor, like that of a dead animal, in the kitchen. The owner sent a worker who taped-up gaps under the cooktop, and said sheetrock would need to be removed later to access what he thought was a dead squirrel or mouse (he assured us it was not a rat). After we returned from our trip I requested a partial refund of the money we paid for this premium rental. The owner was hostile to that request. He tried to blame me for the problems. At one point he said the refrigerator did not work because we placed too much food in it. He said that my family should have tried to fix the refrigerator but turning it off for a day and then turning it on again (but we were using the refrigerator by adding ice and treating it as an additional cooler). He said the dead animal smell must be from an animal we allowed in by leaving a door open. He actually told me that compared complaining to him about the broken refrigerator and dishwasher was like complaining to him about bad weather. The house we rented was in a beautiful location. There were many details about the house that were excellent. My family made the most of our week’s vacation and we had a good time. Still, when paying for a week at a premium 4-bedroom house, my family should expect a working refrigerator and dishwasher, and we should expect some reasonable refund in light of these problems.

Second Stay at Tidewater

We stayed here 2 years ago and George was a wonderful, accessible host. Our experience with the new property manager wasn't as pleasant. We assumed the elevator would be available and it wasn't. She was curt and defensive when I called her for help. We also were disappointed that the adjustable bed was not working. It's a beautiful home but still needs some work.

St George Beach House

The beach front location of the property in the Plantation was great and having access to the pools and tennis was a big plus. The communication with the host was not very good. Reservation was made on VRBO and all 3 payments were made in advance. After 3rd payment, was prompted by VRBO to provide names of all guests which was done online. The day before arrival, I received a text from host requesting the same info (I resent via text) and stated it had already been provided via VRBO. Contact names were required for entrance into Plantation. Upon our arrival at the security gate, they did not have any of our names. Called & texted the host and it got taken care of. Upon arrival at the property, the lock box to access the key was not in the location provided. We did find it after searching a couple of other doors. We had 2 problems with insects in the house. One was a sugar ant invasion in the kitchen which were able to beat back with insect spray. The second were larger winged ants that were in every room of the house. We killed these by the dozens. As a courtesy, I sent a text to the host/owner prior to our departure advising of same and also some issues with the induction stove and vent hood. Never got a reply back. The house is beautiful and well appointed, and the location was great, but the overall visit was tarnished by poor communication from the host/owner.

My Favorite Plantation Rental

This has been our best rental experience so far in the plantation. The kitchen had everything, the ice maker was really nice. The furniture was all very comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out. The paddle boards were the hit of the week. Honestly, the house was even better than advertised. We are already planning next year’s vacation.

Family Christmas trip 2021

We stayed at the property the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. This was our first time to St George Island. While it's not guaranteed the weather was perfect for this week, plenty warm to enjoy the beach and even swim in the ocean. We had eight adults and everyone was very comfortable. The house has lots of space to spread out and every area is very comfortable. The large table in front of the windows overlooking the ocean was incredible, so great for meals and games. The living room area was very nice and comfortable with lots of room, then the back porch had an incredible amount of comfortable space to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. There's also a fire pit area for hanging out just after dark that was very nice. The kitchen was really great, large open with nice appliances and as a bonus an espresso machine. Having people with a lot of coffee experience we made use of that thing all week long. The master bedroom upstairs was incredibly large, it has a huge Deck with chairs and a really nice bathroom. The communication between us and the host was great, we had a couple of small issues and they were quick to respond. We usually try a different place each year for Christmas, but there was a lot of talk about coming back here soon.
