This is our second time to this property and we love it. Feels nice and secluded but within walking distance to everything. Great place for a getaway!
4.0
The property is overgrown with bushes and weeds. Its also in need of cleaning. There were dusty and dirty surfaces inside and out. The fridge leaked water. One of the sliding doors by the kitchen would not lock. The ac unit condensate drains onto the parking area under the house creating a slip hazard. The dock on the property is not safe to use. The carpet inside on the stairs is filty. Found pet hair throughout the home. Screened in proch has screen missing. The listing says there is a hot tube which does not exist. Also says there is a golf cart for rent which doesnt exist. The mosquitoes made being outside unbearable in the evenings. There are stains on the curtains in the living room. The crows nest on top of the house is in need of repairs and not safe to use. There also appears to be mold around the stairs going up to the crows nest. The beach gear supplied is old and not usable. There are much better properties on the island to stay at. Pick someplace else.

Had a great stay at this property. The observation deck was very nice and the house was set up perfectly. The AC went out while we were there but the owner was very prompt in getting it repaired so that was appreciated.

This house is quite nice, well laid out, and comfortable. The view is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the property isn't being well maintained. The screen porch, which is why I booked it, had huge detached panels of screen. The beds are comfy but are ruined by pilled sheets (which were once really nice cotton). The hammock is completely torn in half. The location is great and I wish it was better maintained because if it were, I would book here again.

Generally, we had a very pleasant time. The house has a great location. It is in the secluded wooded area with 5-minutes walk to the beach. House itself is a very nice place for 2 couples or a family of 4-6 people. It has fully stocked kitchen (although addition of cork opener and placemats/tablecloth would be nice). Although, the dining table is covered with the sticky paint, something should be done about it. The beach gears in the shed, such as nice beach chairs and a trolly wagon cart, are a great addition.
Of note, a better general cleaning is needed. We noticed a lot of dust, specifically on the light fixtures. A cleaning and better maintenance of the outside areas, including decks, is a must.

This rental was not as advertised. No hot tub, screened in porch has completely torn window screens, stairway filthy and smelled like cat urine, bed sheets were pilled and old, barbecue wheel fell off when using, grass unmowed, outdoor area under house was unsightly with torn unusable hammock, tv cable did not exist and when contacted the host never returned call nor addressed the issue when messaged. A totally unacceptable rental!

This property was so disappointing. The carpet was stained and dirty. The lower level coming into the house smelled. There are several electrical outlets that are taped off. When I went to plug in the coffee maker, it arched and almost electrocuted me. The TV in the main room did not work properly for the day we were rained in. There is black mold present on the ventilation system. The owner was so mean. After a misunderstanding with our check out she treated us horribly (after I brought to her attention some issues with the house and almost being electrocuted). Worst experience we have ever had.

I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home on the bay with my sister and my nieces/nephews. This was our first time on SGI and it didn’t disappoint. Communication with the host and checking-in was a breeze. When we first arrived, the first thing we noticed was the beautiful bay, how lovely the home was decorated and all the amenities we didn’t realize was included (thanks, Jennifer!).
The sunsets from the crows nest and the deck was something truly out of a magazine. And the beds were super comfortable! The kitchen was well-stocked with all the tools to make a meal, enjoy a cup of coffee, or pour a glass of wine.
It’s true what they say about the island, there’s no bad spots, but this home was located within a mile or so to the square and only a short walk or drive to the beach. Dog-walking was one of my favorite rituals this week!
Finally, we had the opportunity to meet the host and her family as they were down for the holiday. It’s nice knowing we were renting from such nice, hospitable people. We cannot wait to go back to SGI and we will be staying here or another one of Jennifer’s properties next time!

Nice location with a good view of the marsh from top deck and decent furnishings. The house was rather dirty, fridge leaks, and the water stands in the carports because of poor grading. The carpet on stairs from entrance to second floor is badly soiled and smells. Rest of the hard woods on second and third floor are fine. VRBO sent us the wrong door code, and the owner took a day to respond to our requests for alternate instructions. We had to shimmy through a second floor window left open to get in the day of arrival. House needs work, and VRBO and owner need to get their act together.

We had a wonderful stay on St George Island!
This vacation property is in a perfect location for a short walk to the beach and beautiful views of the bay. The back of the property is adjacent to preserved land and was great for watching the bald eagles, great blue herons and song birds. The screened in porch is tree top level. The house had everything we needed from a well appointed kitchen to yoga mats and beach chairs. The beds were very comfortable and provided a much needed rest from real life. Beautifully decorated and “beachy”, It is a well used unit and showed some age and use. We were very happy with our stay and look forward to the possibility of another visit.

Quiet area away from the main hub but close enough to enjoy all the amenities. Clean and very accommodating owners, responded quickly to any questions. The place is beautiful!

We really enjoyed our stay on this double lot—on the screened in porch you felt like you were up in the trees overlooking the bay. It seemed quieter than other houses that are closer together. We enjoyed cooking fresh seafood in the kitchen! We brought a few kitchen essentials expecting a typical rental kitchen, but it was very well stocked. The location was great—just a very short walk to the beach. Our only wish was for an outdoor shower (don’t worry, there was a hose to rinse off your feet)!

This was a perfect spot to get away and relax. The house was exactly as described, with no surprises. Easy access to the beach and to town. St George Island is our new favorite spot.

Disappointed But Great View
The view of the Apalachicola Bay was amazing; bed was very comfortable; kitchen pans & tableware were good.
Now.....we all know the carpet on the steps need replaced as it holds in an odor when coming in the house, not to mention stains. The wood laminate has been cleaned with a cleaner that has left a build up and were very dirty. We wore shoes in the house as the floors had a sticky feel and my granddaughters feet were black from them (except bedrooms- I mopped them 3 times)
Living space on top floor was uncomfortable as the furniture was broke & dirty (I covered with sheets) During our 3 week stay we had a few cold & rainy days so they was no lounging on that furniture (thank goodness for a great bed) We just wanted to come back to the house and feel at home.
The mold in the area heading up to the roof needs addressed. There should not be mold in any home. (The view from the roof was amazing)
This house needs some TLC....paint, strip the build up on the floors, something different on the stairs, new living room furniture and an updated dryer.
When asked if we would rent this home again, we said no. We were very disappointed that the pictures online are not what it truly is. This house has potential, it just needs the owner to actually do something about it.

Loved it!
I have been going to SGI for 30 years and have rented probably at least a dozen times and Bay Dreamin’ absolutely ranks in my top two favorite places we’ve stayed - and I will definitely stay here again. I’m even a little hesitant to give it a great review because that might mean more people will rent it, making it less available to me when I want to return 😂. The views of the bay are great, and there’s easy public access to the beach within walking distance. The place has been mostly updated (bathrooms, decor). Most of the place has vinyl flooring which felt so clean. Yeah, it could use fresh carpet (where there is carpet) and fresh paint and a few minor updates here and there, but otherwise, everything was really spotless. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to entertain friends one night, and plates and glassware were in great condition. I just can’t brag on it enough. It was a great place to stay and we can’t wait to go back.

Clean, clean, clean!
This marshfront/bayfront property is on a quiet back street...we watched eagles, egrets, herons, etc. off the back porch. It's an older property (circa 1990), but was very clean...I spilled a couple of drips of water filling ice trays (no ice maker), and the paper towel came back damp but no soil whatsoever. Communication with the owner was great. We'll be back.

Great property, but in need of some TLC
This a beautiful place in a great location. The online photos accurately match the property, and were the reason we picked this rental. It looked perfect for us. But what the photos don't show are some sloppy cleaning and maintenance issues. We arrived in the darkness and had to feel our way around to get inside because there is no outside lighting. The housekeeping is fine for just a quick cleanup of the bathrooms and kitchen. However, the place needs much more attention. The windows are caked with dirt, the decks need to be hosed down, and the outside furniture all needs to be cleaned. We found a dirty ashtray and half a pack of cigarettes left on the lower deck, along with lots of mold and mildew. As for maintenance, there is a missing smoke detector on the second floor, several burnt-out lights, and many signs of wear and tear. Granted, this is a pet-friendly rental, so some wear is to be expected, but the general maintenance of the place is lacking and reflects poorly on the owners and/or the property managers. Despite all this, we still enjoyed our time here and were happy to explore this beautiful island.

Bay Dreamin
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The location is awesome and the house has a wonderful back screened in deck that overlooks the bay. It is dog friendly, which is a bonus for us, but is also obvious pets stay here. Overall, it is a great house but could use a little updating. I would recommend this home for anyone who has pets and loves the bayside of St. George. Thanks for sharing your beach house

Renter Beware
This place was a disaster. I have never seen such disgusting carpet as in this house. Everything she advertised as an amenity was trashed. The outside had junk everywhere including a shed that was literally falling down with all her run down amenities in it. The golf cart was literally rusting apart & in horrible condition. Went so slow. I have been using VRBO for years & right now I don’t think I will use them anymore considering the condition of this property & the total non communication from the owner & how this was allowed to even be advertised or even rented for that matter. All my paperwork had a rental company’s name on it & I find out the day before we get there that he’s not managing it anymore, say what? I had emailed the seller weeks before arrival several times asking questions about the golf cart & who I was to give a deposit to & If could do an early check in. She finally emailed me back a few days prior to my arrival telling me her golf cart had been stolen but there was another one there I could use. Never answered any other questions. The golf cart was so bad my teens were embarrassed to be seen in it. When I arrived for early check in (because no one would get back to me all I had was the owners email & a companies phone number that did not manage it anymore).When I walked into the disaster the carpet smell hit me so hard I couldn’t believe I was going to have to stay in this nasty misrepresented house for a week. Then to find out when I get there it is was misrepresented & I way overpaid. Literally this lady has done 0 maintenance on this house. I ended up calling the company that use to manage it & he cleaned the carpets & made sure the house was clean. You can only do so much to this run down shack. I did not let the condition of the rental spoil my time on this beautiful island we just stayed away as much as we could. So sad that an owner would rent a house in this kind of condition & misrepresent to get top dollar for it. I have never written a bad review for any property I have stayed in from VRBO but this is ridiculous. I don’t even know if the house was even going to be cleaned if I had not called the rental company who knows if it would of even been cleaned.

25th Anniversary
I felt that the cleaning crew needs to step up their game we left it cleaner then received, carpet on stairway was nasty and stained up holes in the wall behind door not what you expect for that kind of money, shower half clean - nasty rag hanging over the curtain rod washcloth covered in body hair, windows so dirty couldn’t see out. But after we got settled, Enjoy the property very much! Thank you.

Peaceful Retreat
Beautiful location and great views from every room - we even had a heron's nest in the "backyard"! Wonderful beachy furnishings and very comfortable beds. We loved being able to bring our 2 dogs and the golf cart was a lot of fun. Only negative was that the pull-out couch didn't pull out. We contacted the property manager to see if they could fix it, but didn't hear back until the day we were leaving. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic week
This was our third time staying at this property. I think it gets better every year. The property is beautiful, the house is clean and welcoming. Everything you need to cook a tasty seafood dinner or close to Restaurants and the golf cart will get you there without having to get in and out if your vehicle. We will be back next year!!!

Relaxing stay and great location
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Our favorites were the gorgeous view, golf cart, easy access to the beach and convenience to town. The beach was very private. We felt peacefully secluded yet close to everything. The home was very comfortable. A few suggestions: In the main entrance a few wall hooks would be great for dog leashes, jackets, etc. There was also a hole in the wall as you come in which looked to be from some sort of repair? The carpet up the stairs could use a good cleaning. (I am sure keeping the carpet clean as a pet friendly rental is difficult). Once you get upstairs to the living area however the decor is lovely. We really enjoyed the porch and watching all the wildlife. A new fridge would really improve the kitchen. It works fine but appears to be rusting on the outside which makes it look dirty. Other than that we loved everything about Baydreamin and plan to return!

Perfect place for our SGI stay
We had a wonderful stay at Baydreamin’. It had ample space for the four of us, all of the amenities we need and the location was great. The best part of this property is the view over the marsh and onto the bay. We saw eagles, herons and pelicans all the time. Even say some dolphins feeding off the shore.
If you want a quiet place to hang after a day at the beach, this is it.

Relaxing getaway
This was a great getaway. The living area (kitchen and living room) are on the top floor making it the area with the best views of the bay. The bedrooms are on the lower level and still have great views. And the Gulf side beach was a short walk or golf cart ride away. We went over there every day to walk the beach. It was cold and rainy some days, but we made the best of it by relaxing on the beautiful screened porch.

Great winter get-away!
Beautiful home with phenomenal view of the bay which made for perfect bird-watching including daily visits from the bald eagles! Nice to have two bedrooms each with king-sized beds and very comfortable mattresses. Well equipped kitchen for basic cooking but thoroughly enjoyed the local fare and restaurants. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

BayDreamin really was a dream. Fantastic place for wildlife viewing and bird watching. The unit was very clean and Jennifer was great to communicate with. It was secluded but still a short walk to the beach.
