Just what we needed

This property really suited our needs well. The price was right, the location was perfect! This isn’t a luxury property, it feels like you’re staying with a long lost quirky aunt, but I would 100% go visit this aunt again! We were comfortable in the unit. Having the W/D available and the outdoor sink/shower was nice. We were able to easily get to the shops in one direction, and the State Park in the other direction. We brought our dog, and she was comfortable as well!Excellent choice!

Location and Size

Stay was great. The location of the unit was amazing. Phyllis was extremely quick to respond if we needed anything. Main bed was very comfortable. We even asked where she got it. Place is a little dated, but you know that going in via the pictures. It was exactly what we needed for us and our pup. Not too many beach view/front places on SGI for two people. Will be back.

Beach house

Amazing little beach house just steps to the beach. It was perfect for me and my husband and my dad stopped in for a night. Plenty of room, well stocked kitchen, beach chairs, all you need for a beach getaway. Gorgeous views from the front porch of sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely be coming back.

review of condo

I have to say the location was great, however, many updates were needed. The beds were okay, but the recliner and a chair in the den were awful because you could literally feel the springs in them when you sat. The couch and love seat were nice and newer. Towels reeked of cigarette smoke. The only thing we could figure out was that the housekeeper must wash them at her house and keep them there until needed. Silverware drawers needed to be wiped out. We had to go buy a nonstick pan, there were none there. Outdoor shower nozzle needs replacing while the hand held nozzle didn't work at all. Again, access to the beach was very easy, but honestly we wouldn't stay there again.

Very enjoyable stay

Really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for the two of us. Condo was set up very nicely, all the appliances worked well and were on the newer side. Really appreciated the communication with the owner who was very responsive. Really liked that there were beach chairs and an umbrella made available which was great - all in good, usable shape. Beach was easily accessed and was very close. We would definitely rent it again.

No stay

Photos we saw before we arrived depicted a freshly painted deck with colorful chairs and umbrellas. However, that was not what was there! After examining the deck, railing and gate, we decided this run down place was not adequate. We never even entered this dwelling and we traveled 4 1/2 hours home.. Never in all my years, and that’s been many, have I been so disgusted and insulted. Vrbo, you should be ashamed to even represent this property..So I give you and this property a “zero”.You have made money one time off me but never again!

Disappointing and Misleading

The pictures make it look like you are renting the entire house when in reality it’s just the top floor. Additionally, the pictures are over 10 years old, the property is severely dated. There is a musty smell the second you enter the property. The carpet is patched with rubber cement so you scratch your foot anytime you graze the patch. The ceiling is sinking and coming apart in places. The dishes, cups and silverware are dirty. The small space is packed with random unnecessary furniture that makes it feel even smaller. The floor in the bathroom is buckling and the shower is covered in mold. The wi-fi is incredibly weak resulting in only 1 of the 3 televisions in the unit working. There is 1 washer and dryer shared across 5 units, so you could be sharing with upwards of 30 people. No matter how quiet and respectful you are of the guests on the bottom floor you will inevitably butt heads considering the proximity and how thin the walls are. The property owner is a micromanager who will relentlessly ping you with ticky tac comments about what she’s hearing from other people (downstairs unit). We love St. George island but we’ll never stay in this unit (or the other 4) again.

Depends on what you’re looking for

Phyllis was very responsive and communicated very quickly when we needed her to. The dishes at the house were not very clean, we found a dead spider in a wine glass and there were smoked cigarettes left in a shell on the porch. The view was nice but obstructed by another house which wasn’t super clear from the photos. It was convenient she allowed dogs and had a high chair for our babies. I️ probably wouldn’t recommend this place to others because it just wasn’t quite nice enough for the price to me; things like paper towels, coffee and toilet paper were not included in the stay. It seemed super odd to be charged this much to stay at a place and not get those basic things. Very close to the beach so that was nice and the island was okay, it only has a small handful of restaurants and no coffee shops. I don’t regret our trip but I️ will opt to find someplace else in another location for next time and won’t be a repeat customer. Just wasn’t my style but for some families I’m sure it would be nice enough especially being dog and baby friendly

Great Family Beach

We had a wonderful stay on St George Island. This property was perfect. It took about a minute to walk to the beach where we played and went swimming. We also saw dolphins from the beach and the front porch. Quaint little town. We will be back in the summer!

Coldest AC on SGI, steps from the ocean!

Stairway to Heaven has to have the coldest air conditioning on all of St. George Island, a must for those midday cool-down sessions when the sun is at its peak. The unit is located directly across the street from a beach access path, is well-appointed with beach chairs and umbrellas (though we brought our own tent) and the owners are responsive and friendly. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. My mom is now looking to buy the same mattress for her own house. The unit is older, so the only downside is that electrical outlets are not abundant based on modern standards. Bring an extension cord or outlet expander if you have a lot of phones, devices, or computers you'll need to charge. We loved drinking coffee from the porch in the mornings, overlooking and listening to the ocean and would definitely consider staying here again.

An most excellent location. Some of the best cooking pans of any stay I've had. HVAC is the best, new windows help with that. Fresh shrimps just down the road. A bit windy but temps made up for that. Great spot for family and friends. Thanks Phyllis.

Why they chose this property

Priced to come more often and stay longer. Our condos are clean, neat and offer great ocean views with just a few steps to our private beach path.

What makes this property unique

We purchased this upstairs condo in 2019. The condos were built in 1956 and have withstood many storms and hosted Msny. Guests who have enjoyed the views and closeness to the beach.
We endured Covid right after we purchased the condo. We replaced the heat/air unit and all of the windows immediately and purchased a lot of new. Furniture and all new linens . We had someone scheduled to put Ina new wood ceiling and alll Néw floors and remove the carpet when Covid hit. No contractors would come inside.to work and alll reservations were rescheduled or cancelled.
There are many cosmetic repairs that would make this condo like new , in the meantime, we offer you a clean, cute and. Cozy condo at a very affordable price .
