We just returned from a week at Shells and had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful beaches and island of SGI! The house was perfect for our group of 7. We enjoy cooking our meals in during our vacation and the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we have experienced after having stayed in many rental properties. The walk to the beach is an easy block away which is appreciated when taking beach gear and the pool is a nice option. Two full showers and a very nice outdoor shower helps get showers finished quickly. The location on the island is also perfect for bike riding. We rode to the bay side, lighthouse, restaurants, shopping and to get ice cream in the evenings. Our favorite by far was the spacious screened porch with an ocean view which we used for morning coffee, a lunch break from the sun and evening relaxation. You can hear and feel the ocean breezes from the porch. The clothes line was also a functional perk with clothes pins available. It is a relaxing and comfortable home with all you need if your primary vacation goal is being outdoors on bikes or boards at the beach!

My husband and I stayed here to escape the north winds of January with our dogs. This was the first time we took a whole month away from our business. This house was perfect. A cozy, relaxed space that is just as pictured. Great wi-fi allowed us to keep in touch on business matters when necessary. Quick and easy walk to the beach. Sunsets can be viewed from the back deck. There aren’t many people here this time of year, but we enjoyed the solitude. It was almost like having a private beach. We understand why this area is called “the forgotten coast”. If you’re interested in a little nightlife and shopping, Apalachicola is a quick drive. We had warm days with sunshine and ocean breezes, and cooler days when we cozied up to the fire and listened to the waves crashing outside. We will definitely be back to SGI and would happily stay at this house again.

We loved our stay! Michelle was super responsive and very flexible. We had a family emergency and had to have our dates rearranged and she was very open to these changes. Would like to return next year!

Details in description was all accurate house has everything you need and more! Michelle was awesome to communicate with she answers very promptly. House is in a great location and has a great price for the house! Recommend anyone to stay here!!

Good location.

This house was perfect for our family! Short walk to the beach and awesome pool and a huge screened in porch that we didn’t know we wanted but will be must have for future vacations. Awesome trip!

It was a great house on St George Island. It was great to have a screened in porch and a pool to hang out and dip into the water. The pool and house was super clean. Planning to go back next year.

Close to beach. Pool was a hit with my kids. Quaint lil island.

We enjoyed the porch, pool, and beach.

This was our 5th year on SGI and we always travel as a tribe of eight. It is 3 couples and 2 kids. This house was perfect for us this year! If you don’t love the people you are with, I would not recommend more than 6 staying but if you are looking for a place to catch a few winks while enjoying the island and truly bonding this is the perfect place. The pool was an amazing addition to our trip for the evenings and rainy days where the kids still wanted water time. I would recommend that people bring citronella candles to put around the pool, seeing as we are in the south and mosquitos can not be avoided. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. She responded immediately when a storm came through and ripped the screen off the porch. She even offered to get someone out to fix it while we were there. This far beyond what we have experienced in our other properties. I think I have rambled enough, but I hope this has done its work. You will love your stay at Shells!

We stayed here with our three young children and had a great time! The size of the house was perfect for us. We have a 1 year old, so while she napped the older children could swim at the house. It was just a short walk to the beach and we just pulled a wagon with our 1 year old and beach toys each day. It was plenty close enough that the older two kids could walk. The house was the perfect distance from the busy center of the island. We had a great week!

Convienant to the beach, peaceful back porch and relaxing swimming pool. We had a great week! Will stay here again.

We love St. George Island and have been numerous times. This house was perfect! So close to the beach and the pool was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was just as pictured. The pool was perfect and we were just a few steps away from the beach. The house in front of us was under construction so that was a bit of a distraction when hanging out at the pool but that's obviously out of the home owners control. Communication was great and the location was perfect. We loved our stay and can't wait to be back!

This property was really perfect. Having a private pool was such a great addition to beach access super close. The house is super roomy with the best part being the screened in back porch. We would definitely visit this property again!

The best Christmas/Family vacation ever!! The property was spacious and well equipped with household necessities. Loved the close access to the beach. To top it off the December weather was fantastic.

Great porch and small pool, but better pest control is needed inside at this location- we noticed a bug problem while we were there. Also, a new dishwasher is needed as current one doesn't actually clean. Finally, the description stated that a crate for pets was included, but we never found it. Fortunately, many dining establishments permitted pets so our dog went with us everywhere.

We love SGI! This was the first time for our granddaughters to visit the beach--they loved it. The five year old loved the sand but not the waves as much, so the pool was perfect for her. My daughter-in-law spent every night on the screened porch reading. We cooked most meals at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils. Beds were very comfortable. Location was very close to the beach and right in front of the bike path. The 11 & 8 year olds loved riding bikes in the morning and evenings. Michelle responded back to me promptly with any questions I had. It was a perfect week to just relax, play, and enjoy family. Thank you Michelle!

We had such a great vacations and stay at Shells rental. Super quick private walkway to beach and the pool was perfect for our boys. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at Shells. The kitchen was stocked much better than we expected, the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and the pool was just the right size. The house was clean and exactly as described. The house was perfect for two couples with a total of 4 kids.

We really enjoyed our stay. Owner was very polite and easy to get ahold of. Property was well mantained and perfect for a small family.

We had a wonderful stay! Thank goodness for the pool as it was really windy on the beach so we were able to enjoy ourselves!

The pool was a great set up for the family to all enjoy. We also loved the large screened in deck!

Our family stayed Oct. 5-9. The beach house is a gem! The beds were comfy and the pillows were high quality. The kitchen is well stocked with glasses, mugs and plates. The screen porch was a favorite of the adults. My husband and I stayed there most of the trip! The pool was a major hit with our 11 year old son. Even though it was chilly for the adults, he stayed in the pool hour upon hours. The screen porch overlooks the pool, and made it nice to watch our son but still stay in a rocking chair. The Shells was a wonderful beach house for our family!

We loved the porch and the pool! Everything was perfect, thank you!

We loved the house and location. Having the pool was the best. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The listing was accurate and the host was very responsive! We had a great time!!

We had a pleasant stay at Shells last week, other than a rough start. We had been alerted by the owner that the cleaners were taking longer than usual to clean properties and that the house wouldn't be ready until after 4-6 pm. We adjusted our schedule to arrive at the house later, only to find that the cleaners were not done until 6:15 or 6:30 pm. I appreciate a deeper cleaning because of COVID-19, but I am not sure that is what happened here. To be fair, I did not contact Michelle at that point, because cutting corners on the cleaning process wasn't acceptable with the COVID situation. To be totally fair, Michelle was very responsive when I contacted her a couple of days later about another issue. Other than the initial access issue, the house was as described. The kitchen was well stocked, the screened-in porch and pool were quite nice, and there was plenty of hot water (total necessity when traveling with teenage girls). Wifi was great in the master bedroom, porch and living room/kitchen. It was a little sketchier in the other bedrooms. The beach was a quick walk away, and social distancing was totally possible on the beach.

This property’s size and location were perfect for us. We had 3 adults and 4 children in total. This home is a very short walk to the beach. I enjoyed drinking my coffee on the back porch and looking at the ocean. The pool was a great size and was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the dinnerware, silverware, and prep items you could possibly need!! I do wish there were curtains in addition to the blinds in the master bedroom. There are half circle cutouts above the windows and the sun came straight in at 6:30 every morning. I would wake up and feel like I was under stadium lighting. It was soooo bright. I also wish the pool had a shade option. After a day or two in the sun, we all wanted a little break from it but there was only one small umbrella that could be used by one person at a time. I am not writing these things to complain, but instead to inform. Hopefully someone will read this and rent this home as it is truly almost perfect. But maybe with a little heads up they will be able to plan for ways to combat the 2 issues, like bringing a larger umbrella or something to sit under at the pool. Overall, this place is great and we are already making plans to rent the home again next summer.

Property was exactly as advertised. Great place for our family of 4, and having a pool was fantastic. We had a great time, and communication was great with Michelle. No issues for our stay, and would recommend to others.

The property owners are amazing. I cant say enough good about them. We found a couple of things that needed attention and they were taken care of right away and the owners called back to make sure we were satisfied. One thing people must understand when renting, the owner's are at the mercey of the cleaning people, linen people and pool people. Sometimes those people dont do as good a job as the owners think is being done. If everything isn't the way you think it should be, just call and it will be taken care of. This home is a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the bay. We watched and listened to the ocean from the back porch and swam in the pool most every afternoon. This island is awesome and an unbelieveable experience. This home is very nice, the owners are awesome and the price is affordable. Our dogs loved it too. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home.

The property was not cleaned at 4pm. The cleaning crew cleaned for approx 45 mins. the floors we still nasty, had to wear socks because of nasty feeling floors. There was hair left in tub. Roaches seen. Great location
