We really enjoyed our stay at Island Rhythm. Stephanie was great with quickly taking care of any issues that we had. Gorgeous location on private beach. Only suggestion would be some maintenance on entry and sliding doors. We will definitely return !

Nice amount of space on a beautifully sited lot. The house could work well for two families as there are two bedrooms and two baths and a sitting room on the lower level, and then the Master and Loft on the upper two levels. While very clean, the house is in need of some refreshing with regard to furnishings.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Stephanie and Max were helpful and accommodating. The property worked well for the comfort and enjoyment of our family. The views were lovely, and a special shout out to the dolphins who showed up nearly daily to the delight of all! We'll be back!

Nice layout. Good location. Pool was great Beach close by. Mosquitoes terrible. No keurig and was told there would be one. No cable for 3 days. Needs to be cleaned better

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay yet again, and this was our second year in a row at this house in late September. Its hard really to find something negative to write about this house/property, but if I had to pick, I'd probably point out that the "new" fridge (different than last year) doesn't really cool very well or fast. Some of that may have been due to the traffic in/out with all the mouths we fed, and the ice maker seemed to maybe have some sediment in the water line so we just bagged it. That kept the 5th star away. And outside of the mosquitos that were just awful once you got off the beach, and this was true all over the island, the weather and water temp and overall experience was just fantastic - even the dolphins were excited to see us and put on several aerial displays while we were there. We came down this time with a extra family and the house easily supported two families, especially with the sleeping room and carpeted common area on the 2nd floor. Imagine I'll be calling Carla again next year. Having a nearby, basically private pool at our disposal, was also a great plus for this property, and lastly, compliments to the management for DVRing the Bama game for me - a special request that I knew was above and beyond, yet they managed to pull it off since we drove down on a Saturday.

House was spacious but if you have elderly or disabled people in your group this would be a nightmare, two flights of stairs to get to middle level then two more flights to the main level.where kitchen is located, also stairs up.to a landing over the dune and then down more stairs to get to the beach. Also owner/ property manager did not tell us we couldn't have our golf cart on the plantation property, so we were stopped coming through the gate and told we would have to leave it at the fire dept. No one was there and we had other things on our trailer so we went to unload and the property manager/ girlfriend of the owner called me saying we took cart to the house after being told not to.Then sent security, we parked cart in garage and left it there the whole trip, would not have brought it if only we were informed! House needs updating, screened porch screen damaged so couldn't use, Mosquitos were terrible!! Will never stay in The Plantation again, too many community rules, really not impressed for the price of this place, we love St. George just not this gated community.

7 senior women enjoyed our stay despite 4 rainy days! Well stocked kitchen. Loved the DR view!! A few general comments and access/safety issues for our particular group but didn't require/request assistance during stay due to Covid: Glass front door is difficult to open (sticky), requires a push. Interior stairs are without handrails. Warped board in first level floor walkway. Missing bulbs in 2 nightstand lamps; no night lights; only one nightstand on 2nd level. All beds are higher than average (@34”?), luckily one member brought a step stool. Bathtubs without safety strips/mats or grab bars. Minimal bath linens, requiring more steps to launder; (no extra pillows, blankets or bedding for sleeper sofa). Toilets are not chair height. 2nd level street side large bathroom windows are uncovered. Be prepared for multiple stairs/steps (into house, within house, to beach). Other: garbage can needs sanitizing; removed dead mouse near water heater; suspect hot tub has leak; some instructions re DVD player/lights/fans/3rd level AC unit would have been helpful; garbage pickup instructions--to curb or not?? Is there no recycling on St George?!?

We had never been to St. George Island before. We decided to go on the recommendation of good friends. The house we rented was in the Plantation right on the beach. What we didn't know was the beach is very narrow and pretty steep so there's not a lot of room to walk, exercise, take the dogs out, and just relax. In addition, the "Red Tide" was out and we could not even sit on the deck as the smell was so bad and the Red Tide also hurt everyone's lungs to breath. The house was okay at best as it was not what it was advertised to be. For example, there were two, yes only two dish towels for the kitchen, no brush to help with dirty dishes, very little soap to use, the hot tub did not work, and overall the house was not clean. There were roaches every where. I do mean every where. They were climbing up and down the walls in broad day light. Would we do this again. No. We'll go back to the South Carolina beach where we've been going for many years.

Beautiful beachfront home. Gorgeous views. We enjoyed spending Thanksgiving 2020 at St George Island!

The home was recently renovated and was in great shape. The location is perfect with really great beach access, and the beach on this stretch of the Plantation was not crowded at all. There are a lot of steps, and bringing in groceries is annoying because the kitchen is on the second level of living space, so actually up two flights of stairs. But worth it for the view from the dining area! (Also there’s a fridge in the garage for things that don’t need to go upstairs.) The property manager was responsive and helpful.

This home was perfect for my family. There was plenty of space for everyone and never felt crowded. We had 11 people and the space worked very well. The pool being located across the street from the driveway made it easy with small children. Very quiet street and no traffic. Great family rental.

Spent a great week at this lovely home on a great part of the beach in SGI. We were 2 families with 6 teenagers for 7 days. While the teenagers were a bit cozy, they were fine with that and there was enough space for everyone. House is as advertised and the owner was wonderful. Highly recommend and we would definitely rent again.

It could not have been more perfect! It's a beautiful place that was clean, beautiful, well equipped with all amenities and will definitely be back. Great place for a large family. Communication with tenant was excellent and was always responsive.

From start to finish, the communication was spot on. Fabulous house from bottom to top!

We rent on SGI often - 6 times in the last 18 months. I have shopped for the best value and experience (dog friendly) and I have found it. Pirate's Booty is at the end of the Plantation next to "the Cut" where you will find pristine beaches and awesome water. You can get that elsewhere, but the difference is the unbelievable views from the main living area on floor 2 and the top floor 3 where there are 3 bedrooms with their own full baths and 2 masters that face the Gulf with a walk-out deck to each. We did not know how much the pool would add to our experience but we found out it added a ton. The family plays on the beach all day and retreats to Pirate's Booty in the late afternoon. A warm and clean beachfront pool right next to your private boardwalk is truly unique - we used it every day. By late afternoon, we usually had enough sand and welcomed the refreshing pool to enjoy that margarita or frosty beverage before getting ready for the short ride to some of the freshest and best seafood on the Planet. There are some places on the Island, but we really love Lynn's just over the bridge to the East (doesn't look like much, but the fresh seafood is amazing and very affordable). Up The Creek in Apalachicola is a few miles farther but a beautiful drive to the West into the quaint town of Apalachicola where our favorite waitress Harley always gives us the best advice - last night it was the freshest flounder and shrimp. And. . . do not miss the oysters that slept in the Gulf the night before - could not be any fresher. The place was "The Bomb" and we received awesome customer service from the management when we needed a tweek of the freon in the AC unit - they answered the phone and sent the service company within a few hours and the issue was fixed! We were so appreciative that they did not dodge us and stepped up - we will be back as soon as we can get there. Plantation security / beachfront / views / pool . . . this place has all we could want and it is clean and well-appointed. And, guess what? The fish bite right in front of your rental - pompano, whiting, and lots of other types - bring your surf gear of get some cheap at the bait shops local. Last, a fully functioning shower with hot water and a bathroom right next to the pool. . . what a surprise! Get the kids cleaned up right after you get them from the pool - awesome.

Had the most perfect 3 week stay at this beautiful beach house~views from every window and balcony were breathtaking. Able to host family, friends and our 2 favorite canines that had THE most wonderful times themselves. The couple glitches we incurred were VERY minorl yet handled as if they were major inconveniences (which they were not). Many, many thanks to property manager Stephanie~she certainly knows her business and handles everything with utmost professionalism ~ I felt as though I had known her all my life. She's awesome. Needless to say we'll be back next year~and we've got the reservation to prove it! : )

House was very nice and clean. Property manager was on point. Will definitely try and stay here again.

We had a lovely week. There were 7 of us- 4 adults and 3 kids, and we had more than enough space in the house. The house is very well-appointed, comfortable and spacious. The view is gorgeous and the beach just a short walk away. The beach is very quiet and secluded, it felt like it was our very own beach. The pool was also just literally steps away in front of the house- we spent a lot of time there swimming with the kids. We wished we were staying all summer!

Island Rhythm is a wonderful house, very recently redone. Owner addressed minor maintenance issues very quickly. Ground floor refrigerator is convenient for storing drinks and ice.

House was spacious with great ocean views. Often had the beach to ourselves. Have stayed in the Bluffs area several times, always enjoy the semi-private pool.

Excellent!

It was wonderful being right on the beach and the neighborhood pool is just steps away. The whole family loved it!

This owner operated VRBO was what our family needed in so many ways... The owners have put their heart in to every aspect of this incredible beach front home. We were very thankful to enjoy and make memories during our 2020 summer vacation!! Thanks you!! oh yes our fur babies couldn't stop wagging their tails as they had many fun adventures!!

It was everything promised. Plenty of room for everyone. Will visit again for sure.

Needs updating but great location

The location of the house was perfection. We rented bikes through the house credits and enjoyed riding them around The Plantation. There were a bunch of steps but totally worth the workout! The lower floor was perfect for two families with small kids to have space and grandparents could use the middle level. The older kid loved the top floor as his getaway. The dining room area has views to die for. We could watch the dolphins in the ocean from inside.

We rented and paid through VRBO but the property was no longer listed with VRBO when we arrived. Slow contact to get in to unit. The names of all guests were not provided to the guard shack at the community entrance. The new manager had all our information but did not provide it to the guard. . The guard was decent and let us in but I had to contact the new manager and resubmit the names. I called the new manager on the drive down to get more details and no one called back until the next day. When we arrived the air conditioner on the upper level was leaking water on the stairs creating an extreme hazard. There was a towel on the steps to soak up the water. When I called they said they weren't aware of the problem, which I thought was odd because there was a towel there. They sent their crew and had to come back to repair the A/C. There were other problems during our stay and maintenance had to come several times to fix things. Of course I had to stay in the house when the repairs were made while everyone else was on the beach. I am still waiting on my damage deposit to be refunded and I do not know who will send it. I have sent a message.

Love the house but to many stairs

Nice home. Plenty of dishes and utensils. Lacking in dish cloths and dish towels. No beach chairs or umbrellas. Large roaches invaded at night, we stored all food in oven, microwave and fridge. Air conditioner went out overnight on Tuesday evening. We contacted our host Wednesday morning. Repairman showed up Wednesday evening around 7:30pm. Had to get a part, came back Thursday evening around 8:30pm. Air back on around 10:30pm. Mouse droppings (or something that looked like them) found one morning on bedding. After checkout we were informed that the sofa bed was damaged and a drain was clogged by aluminum foil. I explained that the sofa was damaged when we checked in, but used the bed anyway. I should have contacted the host then but didn't. The clog was not done by us. We didn't have any aluminum foil on the premises at all during our stay. The drains were working fine when we left. This was explained to our host, to no avail. The spindle on the stair was damaged by our 7 year old granddaughter. She said the spindle was weak. Which leads me to believe it could have been broken previously and inadequately repaired, especially since the above allegations regarding the bed and clog are false. Finally, we were told the house was left in total disarray. This is also false. There was a spill in the fridge that we failed to clean up before we had to depart, but overall the home was left in a condition one would expect for a week long stay.

Secluded. Exactly what we like. Be sure you bring the proper bug spray for the outdoors. Small flies called "no see ums" are brutal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Weather was great. House was really great-superbly well equipped kitchen. About those much maligned stairs-yes, there are a lot of stairs-to be expected in a house built on pilings. We are able bodied older adults and viewed the stairs as assets to increasing our physically activity and our reward was the incredible view of the gulf over the sand dunes. Stephanie is a terrific property manager-responded right away each time. Minor suggestion to property owners-put some hooks (for hats, coats, leashes) and a shoe tray near the main entrance-to cut down on clutter near the door. Best wishes for wonderful memories to everyone else who stays here!

We really enjoyed this spacious house and beautiful location, especially the dining room with windows and view on three sides and the uppermost bedroom with light streaming in. Everything was clean and in order. We are relatively short people, though, and the beds were awkwardly high. Maybe the house was designed by tall people?
