About this property

Join us on beautiful Saint George Island for healthy, fresh, salt air! Beach Paradise, updated after Hurricane Michael, is located within the St George Plantation features an open great room separating 2 bedrooms and a shared bath on each wing, making it perfect for two families vacationing together! Two large sliding glass doors feature expansive Gulf views and provide access to the large sundeck, perfect to lounge on to catch up on your reading with that needed ray of sunshine!

The two beachfront bedrooms have king beds and picture window views of the Gulf. One other bedroom has a king bed while the fourth bedroom has a queen bed. The sofa in the den will sleep two. All bedrooms have flat panel TVs with cable service and Netflix with your own account, and free wifi capable of streaming multiple devices.

Downstairs, a private boardwalk to the beach gives easy access to playing on the white sandy beaches of St. George Island, shore fishing for the days catch or a relaxing evening walk on the beach to watch the day's sunset (many of which are just spectacular!). There is a private outdoor shower for a quick cleanup after a day on the beach. A fish cleaning sink with running water to clean the catch of the day. Several beach chairs and a beach umbrella are supplied.

Paved bike paths stretch from one end of the island all the way to Dr. Julian G Bruce State Park - approximately 10 miles from end to end.

Wonderful beach house

Great house right on the beach! Fantastic property with comfy beds and couches, nice washer and dryer and huge TV. Buck is so easy to work with and has added touches to the property that made us feel welcomed and right at home— laundry detergent, dish detergent, nice chargers next to each bed, beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Would definitely rent here again!

Disappointed

The location was great and the house was clean. We all felt that the deck was not very safe. Desperately needs to be replaced. Railing is very shakey and board are very old. The kitchen and living room had many soft spots that had been covered over with vinyl flooring. Shower curtains had mold and also the washing machine had mold on the inside of door. Glass sliding door was almost impossible to open. Enjoyed our stay but house definitely needs repairs. House is over priced compared to other houses we have rented in this area.

Great Location - Great for Relaxed Family Vacation

Like other reviews have mentioned, the house does need a little TLC. Chipping ceiling paint and on some walls. With that being said, the house was very clean and comfortable. The views were beautiful. There wasn't anyone staying in either of the houses to the left and right of us so we had the whole beach to ourselves. We played pickleball every morning and met some of the neighborhood locals. All who were super nice. The pickle ball courts were under construction so they had one of the tennis courts converted which wasn't a big deal to us. The courts were a nice 2.5 mile bike ride which we made using the bike trails so we could gawk at the beautiful houses in the neighborhood. We had a loggerhead lay her eggs in the dunes right in front of the house so we got to speak to the turtle volunteers which was a bonus. There were beach chairs and toys for kids. They house had everything we needed. We had no issues and would definitely stay here again!

Great Location and Layout, Needs TLC

House has a great layout and is in a really nice location on the beach / in the plantation. The owner is communicative and helpful and the price seemed good. However, the house has been 'ridden hard' and is below the standard that one should expect at this price point. Issues? Paint chipping and cracking, drywall falling off, shower head not working, fan in bedroom without bulbs and non functional, extra blankets dirty and smell like wet dog, sheets stained with coffee stains, washing machine loaded with mildew, stocked with bare minimum supplies (one roll paper towel, 3 garbage bags, 4 toilet paper rolls for a 1 week stay). There was surely some good, but renters should be aware of the 'bare minimum' approach to the property. There are so many basic things that could be done to make the stay more enjoyable.

This house is perfectly situated on the beach and our family of 4 had a lovely time relaxing at SGI! We loved watching the dolphins, and our kids play, right from the porch! It was a short, pretty ride to the pool. Great location in the plantation. We had a great week! Thank you for hosting us!

Relaxing Beach Getaway

We had a family group of ten and we were very comfortable in this house. Buck, the host, was very responsive to our needs and made the process very easy. The beach is just steps away from the porch and beautiful. We were very pleased with our decision to stay in this house. Thanks, Buck.

Our family really enjoyed this property and our time on SGI. Fantastic space to relax and have fun on the beach, just steps from the house. Even though we had a lightning storm that knocked out the internet, Buck was responsive and went out of his way to fix the problem. Great customer service. Thank you.

Year 2 at Gulfside

We stayed here last year as well and again we were satisfied with the property and location. We had the opportunity to do some more exploring of the Plantation area and with the home being centrally located within the community it allowed us to take off in any direction. You can’t beat the privacy and the Gulf being pretty much in your backyard!

Great place to stay

We stayed at this property back in 2017 with our extended family and liked it so much we decided to come back this year. We have rented other places in the area & in Cape San Blas but this place is our favorite. We invited our extended family but it ended up being just me, my husband and our 2 dogs. The check-in process was simple & getting onto the property was easy. The inside had been upgraded since we stayed last & it was nice having the washer & dryer in the house for ease of access. Kitchen appliances were available for all of our cooking needs the entire week & even though it's a distance to the nearest grocery store, that's what we liked. We felt like we had a private area & when we went to the beach, it felt like it was our own private beach. There were other families around us but we all had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves. The property supplied an umbrella for us to use on the beach to keep our fur babies in the shade when needed. They had a ton of other supplies that we didn't use since we didn't need them. The beach chairs were amazing (I might end up buying some of those same ones ourselves!). The only thing I could not find was a broom to sweep sand at the entry way. We tried our best to not track anything in but it's always inevitable. Everything was clean and we had plenty of bath towels. I brought dish soap from home & ended up not using it b/c it was supplied for us. We took walks in the area every morning & evening and talked with other people along the way. It was quite & not touristy feeling - which is what we love about the Plantation. This is our favorite home & we will definitely be coming back!

September beach vacation

This place is great! My wife and I stayed for a week with our dog. We fished and cooked on the grill almost daily. House is great, spacious, comfortable, clean with all modern appliances. Everything you need was provided. Location is excellent. Beach is beautiful. We like quiet, especially when sleeping. This place has it. The only sounds at night are the waves. Host was excellent. We had few questions but he always responded very quickly. We'll be back!

Great beach front rental.

We really enjoyed our time at this house. I am surprised at some of the negative comments in some of the reviews. I have no complaints about the house. Yes the deck is weathered but decks on the beach in Florida do that with the constant bombardment from sun, wind and salt. It’s just part of living at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. We were glad to see the Keurig. The communication with the manager was outstanding. The views are great from the living room and bedrooms. I really liked the deck to the beach. Not having steps but a gentle slope was super easy to roll a cart down to the sand. Caught whiting, sea trout and pompano in the surf. On both sides of the walkway deck to the beach the sea dunes are reinforced with sea dune fencing, sea oats and native plants. If you look at this house from the beach you will notice this house as a lack of erosion than other houses experience. Not only is the sea dune landscaping beautiful it’s protecting the dune quite well. The layout was great for two families. We enjoyed it so much we booked a second trip before we checked out.
