This was a first time stay at SGI for the entire group, some driving from as far away as Louisiana, Arkansas, and GA. The relative simplicity of the island may be a draw back for some visitors, but we all enjoyed the peace and ease of getting around, whether on foot, bike, or car. The Plantation amenities (pool, tennis, fitness center) were a nice addition. This house is right on the beach -- just as described. We all enjoyed the wide porch looking south over the water both morning and evening. We recommend early June as the weather was not too hot/humid yet and the island was not packed. It was a five-star vacation!

As previous reviews have mentioned, several things are in serious need of updating. The couches are so worn and disgusting that we wouldn’t even sit on them. We put clean sheets over them. The wood steps off the back porch are in need of repair or replacement. One is split badly and there are some nails sticking up. This is a liability. The steps coming from the porch down to the beach walkway need to be replaced. There are no potholders in the kitchen. Using a dish towel to grab a hot pan out of the oven creates a fire hazard. (Also mentioned in previous review.) It would be nice to have at least one hairdryer in the house. ( mentioned in previous posts.) A chair in the den didn’t even have a cushion on it. It was just a chair frame. Really?? The chairs at the dining room table sink in in the middle, probably from long ears of wear and tear. The table is a nice size, but the top part has areas where the veneers are split and peeling up. On the top deck, where they’re used to be white fixtures, they are just rusted out holes in the ceiling with old yucky remnants of wiring. There’s no front porch light- Not sure if it’s broken or the bulb is burned out. This is not an expensive property to rent. They could take a couple weeks worth of profits and put them back into the property to make it so much better. On a positive note, the location is wonderful and the view is spectacular. I guess that’s why y’all don’t put the money into the house to fix it up. It rents no matter what even though it needs some TLC.

This beachfront house has great decks for viewing the beautiful beach/gulf. The 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths are very comfortable and good for larger groups. Our main concerns were that the dining room chairs are way past needing repair and/or being replaced. The living room couches are very worn as well.

We love SGI and being right on the beach is just amazing. And while this house does offer space for a family or group, the home does need some TLC, such as repairs and updated furniture. Vacasa was quick to respond to an issue which was much appreciated. Overall, wonderful vacation!

The property was a perfect quiet spot for a weekend trip.

What a great property this was. It was very roomy and very well appointed. It had lots of dishes, utensils, and plenty of pots and pans. It had everything you would need. The view was spectacular. We had a great time and would definitely rent this home again.

The house was right on the beautiful beach in the plantation with a nice boardwalk. We enjoyed the covered decks and hot tub! The house well accommodated our family of 6 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped. There were 2 things missing that we felt like the house should provide: potholders in the kitchen and hairdryers. None of us brought a hairdryer expecting there would be one there. We will stay here again in the future!

This is a large attractive home steps to the water. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with nice amenities: community pools, gym, tennis and bike paths. Hosts responded quickly when needed.
