Sunshine retreat

Perfect size for the two of us. Had everything we needed for a sunshine retreat. Beach is a short walk, nice deck off the bedroom, and additional shaded outdoor space with picnic table and chairs on the ground floor. A good spot for our bikes. Plenty of space for parking. Quiet neighborhood. Owners made us feel welcome.

A Fabulous Little Place in a Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandtrap 1. Everything about the place was perfect. We sat on the deck for coffee every morning and for stargazing at night. The sound of the Gulf from the deck was lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a four-night stay. The location was close to the beach on one side of the island and a little park on the bay side of the island that was perfect for watching sunset. It was a short drive or an easy walk to the downtown area. We will definitely stay there again when we return to St. George Island.

Great Stay!

The property was very clean and there is plenty of room! We couldn’t believe how much stuff they had in the kitchen for meal preparation and for fun at the beach. The property is close to the ocean and the golf cart is so much fun and allows for exploration of the island!

Awesome spot for a family vacay

The Sandtrap was the perfect spot for our gang who ranged in age from 1-71. Easy access to the beach, great screened in porch and super well stocked kitchen made this place perfect! I would recommend it to anyone.

Teacher get away

We had 8 teachers stay at this great house as a continuing tradition of having a week at the beach before school starts. Having 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens was ideal! We even had a "kitchen wars" with teams on one of the nights! I loved the little nook with the single bed for quiet rest. The golf cart was well worth it for going to the beach and seeing sunsets over the bay. This was the most well supplied house we have stayed in!

Absolutely wonderful stay!!

This property was so perfect for my family! It was very clean, the kitchen was full of cooking utensils, pots, and pans. We really enjoyed the double living rooms! SO MANY BATHROOMS! The outdoor shower was fantastic for eveyone to rinse off after the beach! The outdoor deck area was perfect, we enjoyed breakfast outside almost every morning without bugs bothering us. The golf cart is a NECESSITY! Golf carts seem to be the main way of transportation on the island. The was beautiful, not crowded at all. I could go on and on about this beautiful property. It was everything I could have asked for and more. We will definitely be booking this home for our family vacation next year!

Perfect Island and Amazing House!

Just a bunch of moms away for 5 days. We loved the amount of space in the house. The kitchen was well stocked with every gadget we could need. We used the second living room as a yoga rooms and the outside shower was the best! Communication with the representatives and owners was great! So many towels and blankets and just the perfect rental. We will be back!!

The extra mile

We loved staying here for our week long vacation. They truly thought of everything. The extra amenities really helped secure a great experience. They had hampers in every bathroom and stocked with laundry and dishwashing detergent. The multitude of spices helped when we made burgers on the GIANT grill. they supplied literally any type of cooking dish you could need. The only thing I would add would be a microwave and pantry in the second kitchen. We did lots of walking back and forth. The best part was the screened in porch with the multitude of fans! Thanks again for a great stay! Will book again!

The perfect paradise, can't wait to return!

The Sand Trap was such an incredible place to stay. Everything was spotless and the home was set up so well. It had everything we needed for our week long trip. It was only my husband and I, on our honeymoon, but the house is large enough to fit an entire family, maybe even two families, in it! We are already planning to bring our families back to this home for our next vacation. I cannot say enough great things about this home and the owners. Communication was great, responses were very quick and instructions were clear. I highly suggest paying to use the golf cart, it was so worth it to be able to ride around the island. The house is a very short walk to the beach and has a great outdoor set up. I 100% suggest booking your vacation here, we will certainly be back!

A wonderful family reunion location!

What a wonderful time we all had at this wonderful house. The hosts went above and beyond anyplace I have ever been in my considerable travels. So many extras not normally seen in a rental! I wish I could play hostess to them!We had 3 families consisting of grandparents, children and 4 grandchildren. There was enough space for every one and lots to do. An extra added bonas was that the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We rented bikes and toured all around. I'm sure we looked like a multiaged gang. I can't say enough good about the care to detail and comfort our hosts extended. Thank you for a week our family will always remember.

Awesome place to stay for big families!

The place was very clean and bright. The owners provided lots of extras with this house. It had keurigs in both kitchens with pods as well as regular coffee. Sugar, spices and several other amenities so we didn't have to run to the store as soon as we got there. We ate at the house a lot and the kitchens, ovens and outdoor grill were great. There were lots of towels and linens along with soaps to wash everything from dishes to clothes to seashells. There was a lot of sleeping spaces too. The beach and bay are only a block and a half away and the house is on a dirt road so it was quieter than being on the main roads. My brother and his family was able to visit us while we were there too and there was plenty of room. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a great time and plan to be back soon. St George Island is truly beautiful.
