The sunsets from the deck are absolutely stunning! Stayed with family for a wedding and had plenty of space for everyone. Make sure to bring our own beach towels and blow dryers.

Nice Spot
Cool place. Location is easy walk and fairly direct route to the beach. House size and bedrooms were good. Plenty of room for parking. The wifi signal was intermittent in trying to stream the TV but that could be the island as a whole. Had trouble accessing the separate guest suite but I don't think that is a recurring issue. Had trouble with both main bedroom showers that were broken in addition to the garbage disposal but property manager had them fixed the next day. The grill was not well maintained and would not even start but again the property manager had fixed within a few days.
The trip was wonderful, the house was the perfect size and the elevator helped with bringing in luggage and groceries. The house needed some deep cleaning, but after contacting the owner, they explained about the Hurricane in the past few weeks. Everyone would like to use the house next year. Thank you for allowing us to use this beautiful house
Good place to stay that matched our budget. Had a small issue that the property manager took care of within a reasonable time frame. The house is in a good quiet location with plenty of space. The house could use a little tlc but nothing that would turn me away from booking.
This home was very well built and has beautiful touches throughout. It is very large, clean and well furnished, with plenty of parking. Every single room of this home has direct access to a deck! It was a bit too cool to use the pool, but it was clean. We would absolutely stay here again!
Our stay was incredible and the home met every expectation. 3 floors with ample space allowed for gatherings and alone time. The home was clean and the location was great. The elevator was very handy. We had a few minor service issues that were resolved satisfactorily. Sunsets were simply stunning. Thank you!
My family enjoyed this house for the second time, with the first being last year. Our family loves vacationing at Turtle's Cove due to its size, the extra "cottage" and location. Watching the sunset from the balconies are second to none, Our grandkids can enjoy playing on the second floor, or third, with all the space that this house has. No reason for them to be bored! A quick drive or ten minute walk to the beach is a plus. Working with Andrew, our host, has been easy and helpful. Definitely, Turtle's Cove is a place to stay!
This house was exceptional for our family. The beds were super comfy, sheets were luxurious and buttery soft. The sunsets on the bay were absolutely priceless!!!
Had a wonderful time in this gorgeous house. Plenty of room and very good bay views. Property manager responded promptly to a maintenance issue. Would definitely stay here again
My family and I stayed here on vacation and it was everything that was advertised. The owner was very cordial and helpful with any questions that we had and even came to the house to bring a couple of things that we needed. Andrew is a top right owner and I would highly recommend this property.
The property was not as clean as I would have liked
and was not as manicured and taken care of as I thought it should have been for this price range. The porches were not cleaned at all between guests, there was trash on the tables and chocolate on the chairs outside.
This place was great. Description was spot on. Quiet neighborhood, great location. Pool was maintained twice while we stayed. Contact with host was extremely helpful and had fast response to any issues.
Visited St George Island for the first time. Had a wonderful time! Everyone we met was friendly and we adored the area. Enjoyed the casual atomsphere at all the restaurants. Home on the bayside was wonderful! The view was gorgeous! Layout of the house was perfect for when our family visited us for a week. Porches and porch with firepit made for relaxing evenings. Elevator was wonderderful because my husband had knee replacement shortly before our trip. Overall everything was great-home, island and restaurants.
Great older home needs a little TLC as many things were not operating correctly such as the dishwasher, garbage disposal, some doors, jacuzzi tub and TVs/wi-fi, light bulbs, etc. The elevator was a plus for elderly renter.
We loved our stay here. As shown and explained in the profile. super nice, great communication and would definitely stay here again. This was our fourth trip to SGI and we have never seen better sunsets than from this house's balcony. Incredible.
Nice prperty,,fully stocked kitchen and everything easily located. Just didnt see à exit property instructions or trash schedule.

Too good to be true
Other than the elevator and garbage disposal not working, the house was nice. It was big enough for our group of 16. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Weather was a little too chilly to enjoy the pool as it’s not heated, but some of the kids braved it for a few minutes. Was even too cold for them. All in all, the house was comfortable and not too far from town and the beach. We enjoyed ourselves.
The house location was superb with outstanding views of the sunset and bay. Easy access to beach areas. The house was located in a relaxing and quiet area. Our family loved the house and all the balconies. Screened in balcony on the third floor was perfect for family meals! Screened in pool was great for after beach time. Elevator was great as living areas were on the second and third floor. Cannot think of anything we did not like and will look forward to staying here in the future.
