Great Beachfront House!

The home is spacious and comfortable for a large group (8 adults and 2 kids.) It was clean and well stocked. We loved the large back deck areas and proximity to the beach!

Great location, house needs attention.

Great location and could be a great house. Beds were great, but all other furnishings need to be replaced inside and out. Drapes were filthy and the lower deck is in poor shape. Mold in the washing machine and roaches in the kitchen.

Perfect vacation spot!!

What a great property this was. It was very roomy and very well appointed. It had lots of dishes, utensils, and plenty of pots and pans. It had everything you would need. The view was spectacular. We had a great time and would definitely rent this home again.

Beautiful view but house needs TLC

We love SGI and being right on the beach is just amazing. And while this house does offer space for a family or group, the home does need some TLC, such as repairs and updated furniture. Vacasa was quick to respond to an issue which was much appreciated. Overall, wonderful vacation!

Fantastic views and home layout but….

This beachfront house has great decks for viewing the beautiful beach/gulf. The 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths are very comfortable and good for larger groups. Our main concerns were that the dining room chairs are way past needing repair and/or being replaced. The living room couches are very worn as well.

Loved SGI

This was a first time stay at SGI for the entire group, some driving from as far away as Louisiana, Arkansas, and GA. The relative simplicity of the island may be a draw back for some visitors, but we all enjoyed the peace and ease of getting around, whether on foot, bike, or car. The Plantation amenities (pool, tennis, fitness center) were a nice addition. This house is right on the beach -- just as described. We all enjoyed the wide porch looking south over the water both morning and evening. We recommend early June as the weather was not too hot/humid yet and the island was not packed. It was a five-star vacation!

Wonderful beachfront house!

The house was right on the beautiful beach in the plantation with a nice boardwalk. We enjoyed the covered decks and hot tub! The house well accommodated our family of 6 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped. There were 2 things missing that we felt like the house should provide: potholders in the kitchen and hairdryers. None of us brought a hairdryer expecting there would be one there. We will stay here again in the future!

The Plantation at St. George Island: A Mixed Review

This past Labor Day week, our extended family of six (five adults and one child) stayed at The Plantation at St. George Island for the first time. While the location and amenities were fantastic, there were several areas where the house fell short. Positives: * Prime Location: The Plantation's beachfront location is unbeatable. * Spacious Accommodations: The house was large enough to comfortably accommodate our group. * Gated Community: The gated community offers a sense of security and provides miles of walking and biking trails. * Amenities: Guests have access to two pools, a clubhouse, and tennis courts. Negatives: * Maintenance Issues: Upon arrival, we noticed dirty sofas and mold in the ceiling vent of the living room. In addition, one of the guest rooms had a dirty diaper and a strong odor of urine. * Back Porch Condition: The back porch was spacious but poorly maintained, with rusty nails and a mildewy rug. *Overall cleanliness could have been better with dusty shelves and garbage under beds from previous guests. * HVAC Disruption: During our stay, unannounced HVAC maintenance caused a significant inconvenience by shutting off the air conditioning for over five hours. While we enjoyed the Plantation's location and amenities, the maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns in the house were significant enough to deter us from staying there again. We would consider staying within the Plantation community in the future, but would choose a different property.

Enjoyed our stay and loved the location. Could not ask for better weather and ocean view. Property was very clean ( minus some kitchen ware) and the entire process was very easy. My recommendation on whoever rents if you are doing a good amount of cooking will need to bring some of your own supplies. Spices, cooking utensils, foil/saran wrap, trash bags (only had 4 below the sink) and most important for us...a coffer maker!!! They had one but it took a lot longer to brew than the average coffee maker and we are big coffee drinkers. Would stay again but would more prepared as far as the kitchen.

Beautiful home. Special aspect of this home is the living area being on the main floor. Easy access in and out for the children. Some outdoor furniture in need of repair or replacement, but fine for our visit. Upstairs balcony especially nice for quiet morning coffee.

Beach music

Spacious, comfortable, beachfront home in the lovely Plantation. So close to the Gulf that the music of the water was a constant delight! Also great shelling, which we particularly enjoy. They were doing some upgrades and updating to the property, which will be helpful...the new boardwalk to the beach was wonderful, so I am sure the rest will be, too.

A little disappointing

We have stayed in several upscale beachfront homes in St George Island’s Plantation neighborhood, and while this home’s location is super, it did not live up to its description of upscale. It is in need of several updates (furniture, porch repair), the hot tub was not functional, and the storm covers were permanently locked in the down position on 4 of the 6 windows on the main floor (thus blocking the ocean view). We feel if you are going to advertise and charge a premium price for an upscale beachfront home, it should live up to its billing.

Beautiful view, great location, needs a lot of work though

As previous reviews have mentioned, several things are in serious need of updating. The couches are so worn and disgusting that we wouldn’t even sit on them. We put clean sheets over them. The wood steps off the back porch are in need of repair or replacement. One is split badly and there are some nails sticking up. This is a liability. The steps coming from the porch down to the beach walkway need to be replaced. There are no potholders in the kitchen. Using a dish towel to grab a hot pan out of the oven creates a fire hazard. (Also mentioned in previous review.) It would be nice to have at least one hairdryer in the house. ( mentioned in previous posts.) A chair in the den didn’t even have a cushion on it. It was just a chair frame. Really?? The chairs at the dining room table sink in in the middle, probably from long ears of wear and tear. The table is a nice size, but the top part has areas where the veneers are split and peeling up. On the top deck, where they’re used to be white fixtures, they are just rusted out holes in the ceiling with old yucky remnants of wiring. There’s no front porch light- Not sure if it’s broken or the bulb is burned out. This is not an expensive property to rent. They could take a couple weeks worth of profits and put them back into the property to make it so much better. On a positive note, the location is wonderful and the view is spectacular. I guess that’s why y’all don’t put the money into the house to fix it up. It rents no matter what even though it needs some TLC.
