Celebrating Ellis’ second birthday.

Had a wonderful time. House is gorgeous. The views are spectacular. My oldest grandson (6) wanted to watch the sunrise and we did. He also caught his first fish. A small Red. Loved the privacy.

Family time on St George Island

Home was beautiful. The property manager contacted us to update wifi code. We reached out for some minor issues. She came over right away and then kept us informed on the progress of the repair. Loved the bayside quiet at the end of a street. Super private, peaceful.

Really nice place in a very quiet corner oft the Island.

The House is very nice ans well stuffed. Only problem is the variety of cockroaches what is perhaps quiet normal for such a natural Place.

Prior to arriving property management provided exceptional customer service with a change request. The property was very clean and as advertised. The property is secluded and access to beach, pool(s) and local scene are convenient. Our family was impressed with Plantation cleanliness and attention to detail.

Quiet privacy at excellent property

As previous homeowners in The Plantation, this is an excellent custom property with everything we needed and more. The location is private and quiet. The surprise of the trip, the morning visits to the dock by a local eagle - quite the special view from the upstairs office. Views across the bay and excellent spot for the spectacular sunsets. Don’t miss this great property. We will be back for more time here. Our only disappointment, we couldn’t extend our trip longer due to next guests already scheduled.
