Sunshine yellow on the outside and light teal on the inside, this beautiful oceanfront home is special in many ways - not least because of its stargazing tower, perfect for enjoying the wonderful views of the Gulf by day and watching for shooting stars at night! You'll adore the ocean views from almost all rooms within the house, to say nothing of the decor that pays tribute to the ocean. This unbeatable gem has been recently renovated with all three bathrooms beautifully remodeled, a brand new ocean-facing main deck, and updated living room furniture and dining table. Refined decor comes to life in bright seaside colors, resulting in a cheerful Southern-chic look throughout the home. Tile floors and refinished hardwood floors mean that you'll feel the central air conditioning throughout your stay no matter what room you stay in. You'll be able to cook up something delicious inside the spacious kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a kitchen island - eat in the dining room or at the breakfast bar with enough seating for four. Better yet, take it out to the spacious and brand new (2022) sundeck furnished with new Adirondack chairs. Guests of the upper-level bedroom can enjoy views from a beach-facing deck all their own.

If you're looking to spend most of your time out by the beach (and why wouldn't you?), this home has the amenities you need to make it happen. Walk down to the beach on a small footpath. Rinse off the sand in an enclosed outdoor shower with both hot and cold water. Process your catch of the day at the fish cleaning station. The entire ground area shaded deck under the house has enough built-in seating for everyone to relax. The family dog is also welcome to join in on the beach fun at this home!

WHAT’S NEARBY
When you're ready to head out for delicious local food, Paddy's Raw Bar and Blue Parrot Ocean Front Cafe are both within one mile of the home. Take a visit to the St George Lighthouse museum less than a mile away and take in the view! St. George Island State Park is just seven miles away - electric mobility-assisted sand scooters are available so that everyone can enjoy the sand and surf. The charming town of Apalachicola is just a short drive away.

Does not live up to expectations Overpriced
The photos were taken 15 years ago. This property has been abused and neglected. I should have read the reviews prior to booking, the local Vacasa staff was irresponsible and sometimes snotty. The kitchen is not adequately equipped. The dishes are chipped and the pans are rusty. There are no blinds. There is not an outdoor shower or even a slicker to wash you feet. The walkway is overgrown and full of stickers. Light switches come off in your hand, I had to request 2 service calls on appliances. There is not adequate lighting in the outdoor space. Do not plan to grill anything, bumecause the grill is not accessible. The kayak pictured is full of water and trash. Most property managers on the island offer a rental credit, but Vicasa does not. I have stayed in St George for 10 years, this is by far the worst I have ever stayed in.

Unresponsive hosts & horrible house issues
We were notified 3 days before arrival that there was ongoing construction at the house. We were told we could stay elsewhere. But we were never given an option and no one could describe the construction. I called multiple times, emailed, texted. NO ANSWERS. No one would respond. No one would talk to me. We finally just went to the house. The location was awesome so we unloaded. But there were multiple issues. Ceiling construction was creepy and gross, several windows had no blinds, other blinds were broken, kitchen trash can broken, no bags for it, holes in the wall , washer didn’t work, front door lock didn’t work properly—we had to leave back door unlocked when we left to get back in, kitchen faucet didn’t turn off properly—had to jiggle it to get it to turn off, no hot water in one of the bathrooms, I texted VACASA. They said you can leave for a refund or we can move. But not options to move were ever given. VRBO & VACASA were unresponsive and unhelpful. I’m mad as hell, expect a refund and will never use either VRBO or VACASA again.

Location!
Great location, on the beach. Nice decks, however no cover. Very quiet house. Bathrooms open into more than one room. toilets need to be upgraded and re-set, shower heads need to be upgraded, water pressure was a bit weak. Kitchen had been re-done, new counters, appliances, etc. It is possible all renovations have not been completed yet (bathrooms, beds, etc.). Would recommend this houset, and would stay there again.

Labor Day Holiday
We loved almost everything except we had problems with the frig and lost some food. It was not cold enough. The only other problem was that the animals who had preceded us had urinated on the stairways which are carpeted. We didn’t have pets.

Family beach home
Property manager kept calling insisting that contractors were required to be at the home during our stay there. This is not professional Property is in need of blind replacement upstairs for ( missing blind on door) there are general maintenance issues, which should be attended to when there are NO vacation renters in the home. Suggest providing an overview of kitchen necessities. ( no wine glasses, no breakfast bowls) Home does have a convenient outdoor shower with hot and cold water, which greatly helps when returning from the beach. Nice that owners have a kayak and paddle boards to use on beach. A pleasant stay, primarily suited to dog owners, as this location is dog friendly.

Lighthouse home had its ups and downs.
Definitely not a place for older adults(60+) or little children. Due to the steep stairs leading up to the main floor of the home. We mainly used back stairway and door. The carpet & rugs in this home was horrendous, covered with what appeared to be pet stains! I wore shoes in the home the entire time I was there, Including the showers(I wore my crocs) It just felt dirty! Pathway to the beach needs a boardwalk, due to the hot sand on the way from the beach. Gorgeous views!

3 Families take on SGI!
We were happy with our rental! A few things to note that we realized when we got there for future bookings to have an idea about. Lots of stairs! Nothing in on the first floor. This should be known for families with small children and just a heads up for bringing in luggage, groceries, carrying children, etc. Also, the two bedrooms on the 2nd story have an adjoining bathroom (sometimes a privacy issue), the 2nd bathroom on the 2nd floor also connects to a bedroom and is where the washer/dryer are so sometimes it was an issue when someone needed to use washer and dryer if someone else was showering or using the bathroom. Other bedrooms are on 3rd floor and share a bathroom as well. Also, the toilets are VERY low and small. The house was clean, a few cosmetic issues (carpet stains, chipping paint, old shower curtain rods) and wear and tear, but overall good. A few very positive notes is that all the beds were very comfortable, the walk to the beach from the house was much closer than the pictures seemed, we loved having the games there and using the boogie boards that were furnished, and the end of the island that you’re on is PERFECT. Bring your golf cart! So fun to stroll the roads/dirt roads in the evenings! I was a little nervous after re-reading some of the reviews before we got there about cleanliness and there being mold… but it was not an issue at all! They’ve done a great job recently to improve those previous issues! Great place to stay!

Just Okay
We just wrapped up three nights here and we were left wanting. The kitchen is not stocked well at all. The shared bathroom upstairs has a clear shower curtain therefore you can’t share while showering. My 11 month old had black hands and knees after crawling around the living room upon arrival. Vacasa said they’d send someone to mop the floor but they never came. I saw a 4-foot long snake in the beach grass right off the porch so we had to run down the foot path to the beach. Yikes! We ultimately enjoyed the view and the easy access to the beach. We liked the casual, less crowded feel of this island versus the 30a crowd. However, if we come back, we’d pick a different rental.

Our visit
Would definitely return to this property. It was a great location, had plenty of space and was maintained beautifully. My only suggestion would be to supply detailed instructions for working the tv. We could not get the sound to turn on in the main room. It's a minor thing but would have been nice to watch a movie together as a family. Other than that our stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful location but serious issues that need to be addressed
The location of this place is amazing but there is clearly a mold issue in the furnace/air ducts. We contacted Vacasa regarding this issue and was given properties at least 45 mins or more away to relocate. Vacasa is not a company I would recommend. They were incredibly rude in communication and this property should not be rented out until the mold issue is resolved. We left the windows open to ventilate and remain in the house but there are many missing screens and disgustingly dirty window sills. I hope Vacasa addresses this health liability. This could be an amazing property if it was actually properly maintained.

Excellent location, interior flaws
The location of the property was fantastic. We loved the view and access to the beach could not be beat. However, the interior was not nearly as well kept as the listing indicated. The toaster, toaster oven, refrigerator, blender, and dryer all either didn’t work or were poorly maintained. The dryer took 3-4 cycles on highest heat for the max amount of time to dry one load of laundry. The drawers and shelves inside the refrigerator were taped together with duct or packing tape. The blender leaked. I contacted the property management company prior to our trip to ask about beach chairs and was told there were none at the house so we brought our own. When we arrived, we discovered there were actually several beach chairs in the downstairs closet. This might seem nitpicky but we took valuable space in our vehicle to bring our own chairs and we didn’t need to. We still had a great vacation but the inside of the home needs some work. Making sure appliances are in good working order should be a top priority.

Excellent Location, House in Need of Some Work
Location EXCELLENT! House was clean but in need of some basic repairs (door knobs, various fixtures about to fall out of wall, railing, plumbing in shower all loose, paint worn, light bulbs burnt out, only 1 trash bag, blinds and dining room chair broken, etc) NO hair dryer though listing under essentials. 3 women NOT HAPPY! The description also indicated beach chairs, but there was no beach chairs, there were three camping chairs and one of those was unuseable. BRING YOUR OWN! All of these things add up so overall NOT worth the money compaired to other beach houses we have rented! Truly, all of these issues could be addressed with a one day handy man! It needs some attention!
