About this property

GOLF CART included! 2-min BEACH walk, sleeps 6!!

Free Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!

Welcome to 'Beach Joy'!

This 2BR/1BA beach cottage with wrap-around porch and sundeck is the perfect getaway spot for a small family or two couples. The walk to the beach is just a short 1-2 minute stroll thanks to the sandy 'Beach to Bay' access alley located almost directly across the street!

First, you’ll enter into the well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and then circle into the living room with large, flat screen TV and trundle bed w/ 2 twins. A sliding glass door opens onto the wrap-around porch and overlooks the driveway.

The first of 2 bedrooms is accessible thru the living room and offers a Queen bed, TV and opens onto the furnished sundeck. The second bedroom also offers a Queen bed, TV and opens onto the wrap-around porch. This bedroom also opens into the kitchen. The jack-n-jill bathroom w/ tub/shower separates the 2 bedrooms.

The laundry room with full size washer/dryer is located in the downstairs storage room with space to store your beach toys. Relax outside in the covered seating area with picnic table and table set w/ chairs. Additional conveniences include a park-style charcoal grill and an enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower. Plenty of room for boat and additional parking and covered parking available for one vehicle.

'Beach Joy' is only 1.5 miles from the Island center, just a quick 3-minute drive or 8-minute bicycle ride to shops, restaurants and Lighthouse Park! The 6-mile long bike path is just across the street from the home. On-site beach gear includes 2 adult bicycles, corn hole boards, a beach cart and 6 beach chairs.

Guests will also have complimentary use of our 4-person electric GOLF CART! (Guests must sign a waiver for golf cart use, only drivers with a valid drivers license are authorized to drive a golf cart on St. George Island. Golf cart amenity is not guaranteed).

Great little quiet nest to stay in.

This place is small, but very comfortable. It is well stocked with good quality items. We were very comfortable here. The place is quiet and very close to the beach.The golfcart was a plus. There is a wagon for transporting to the beach. Lots of towels, chairs umbrellas and other essentials. A great place to rent for sure.

Pleasant surprise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach Joy was a really nice surprise for us as our original booking was undergoing construction issues. Thankfully we had the option to change locations. The property was very clean and well maintained and Forgotten Shores was wonderful. They are our go to agency on the island. The location was most convenient for us as we enjoy beach walks and quiet .The access path to the beach is just across the street and is a very short walk to the beach. There is a golf cart for use and there are nice public access walkways with parking close by. The only caveat is there is just one bathroom which was fine for the two of us but might be an issue for larger groups. In warm weather there is an enclosed outdoor shower. We were there for 12 nights and utilized the well equipped kitchen for most meals. We do enjoy BLUE PARROT and BJ’s Pizza when venturing out to dine. We would recommend this unit to anyone desiring clean, budget friendly, and well equipped lodging with close access to the beach. It fit us well and will definitely book there again .

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed our time here. A little over a block away from the beach. Perfect size for just our family (2 adults, 3 kids). Any more would have needed a bigger space. Deck was nice to relax on in the evenings and the kids loved running in the yard. All in all a great trip and a nice stay!

Lovely place

Stayed a week with my wife and children ages 11,12,16. Great location near the beach and the bay. The outdoor deck was great. For 5 it was maybe a bit tight with one bathroom but we really enjoyed our stay on the island and the location of the house. Two chickens even visited every day we were there. I would recommend bringing bug spray.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shower!!! Invest in better spray head. Couldn’t hardly get the shampoo out of my hair. Perhaps one of those bow style curtain rods to give a little more space while standing in tub. Get rid of the plastic shower curtain. And the rubber tub mat was aweful. Otherwise EVERYTHING was great!!!*And the fire alarm at kitchen was beeping so we replaced the battery twice. otherwise All good.*and it would be nice to have suitcase holder *. While we are short term 1-2 week renter, we live out of our suitcases, prefer not transfer to dresser drawers.we Rented a bike and wagon and chairs. Could have just used what was provided -had we known the items were already there for use was super great to have washer and dryer! it was clean and very convenient.
