This home is gorgeous and so comfortable. Sheryl is a wonderful host always checking on you to make sure you have everything you need and has lots of info about the island. The home is a very short walk to the beach and she even provides beach chairs. The home was just perfect for the 8 of us!

We have been coming to SGI for 20 years and always stay on the Plantation (now with two kids, ages 10 and 13!. After a series of beachfront rentals, we opted for Sea Gem this time, which is Tier 1. The house was very clean, kitchen well-stocked with a variety of pots/pans, dishes, and even spices! The property is well-laid out with nice bedrooms and only a couple of steps from the beach walk. While we didn’t use the pool at all, it was clean and inviting. Sheryl was wonderful and very responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!

Home and location are great. Only problem with the home is the banister on the second floor. The width between the spindles are very far apart. My 2 year old son actually fell between them and landed on the hard wood floors(from the second story). After $6,000 in medical bills, I would never rent this home with small children unless that has been taken care of. Otherwise the home was great.

My family has been vacationing on St. George Island for the better part of 20 years, with all but a couple visits not on The Plantation. We can't say enough about how much we've loved our time on the island over the years including fishing, kayaking, biking, running, swimming, and just general hanging on the beach. This is our definition of a beach paradise that allows us to bring our pups on the beach with responsible pet parents to boot, i.e., no compromising beach cleanliness, beauty, or general love of fur kids on the beach. Now, regarding the house: Sheryl has truly made a little beach paradise oasis all but a hop, skip, and jump from the beach. All the amenities you could ask for on the beach including kayaks, bikes, pool, and general beautiful setting and home. Location and property was not only as advertised but even better than expected. Highly recommended and two paws up from Pants, our 12 y/o Yellow Lab!

We had a great stay with three generations, including a 3 month old. We brought our own pack and play, but also used the one provided at the house. Everything was great and the location to the beach was very easy for quick visits.
