Beach Bum is one of the few smaller places in St George, perfect for 2-4 people. Steps away from the beach, refreshing pool, and very cute neighborhood. Good communication with the manager too.

Our stay was perfect. Not a huge house, but perfect size for what we were looking for. We spent more time across the street at the beach! So close and easy to set up our beach spot and come home for lunch, or a dip in the pool!! ♥️

The property sleeps four comfortably. However, in the living area, there is only one chair and a couch. Very awkward and inadequate seating for two couples. There is a common courtyard with picnic tables outside for each unit, but they are all crammed in the same area with nothing to separate them and no privacy an all. This would be ok if all four units were occupied by the same party, but makes the courtyard pretty useless, otherwise. The pool is pleasant, but there are no tables or shade in the area, so you can't really eat out there and there is no relief from the sun. It's a cheaper rental and it really shows. I would recommend spending a bit more for a nicer property.

Was nice having the beach right across the street. Just pick up your beach chair and go. The apartment was very clean and the linens on the bed, fresh and crisp. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our fresh seafood. The pool was an added bonus. Was nice to take a dip in after our morning walks.

Just what 2 friends traveling together needed. Great size, very clean with everything needed provided. Steps from the beach with very nice neighbors. Laura made check-in easy and was friendly and helpful when we met. Definitely on my list for a return trip!

Property is in a great location. Easy access to the beach and fairly quiet! Price was on point. NO stairs is a big plus. The pool needs some attention but nice to have at the end of the day on the beach. Laura the Property manager took good care of us and our needs. We would definitely stay thete again

St George Island is full of large rental homes and it's hard to find a reasonably priced place to accommodate a smaller group of 4 people, and I'm so happy to have found Beach Bum Cottages, which has 4 cottages together that can house 4 people per cottage (2 bedrooms per unit). This is our second stay here, and we love it. Its the perfect size, close to the beach, clean and nicely furnished. The pool is clean and well maintained. The property manager is terrific and responds quickly to any questions that come up. I can't say enough nice things about it. Staying here again when we come back!

This small bungalow is wonderful for a couple. The location to the beach is terrific-just across the street. The property manager, Laura, is terrific! She responded to all of our requests very quickly and was able to bring us beach towels and chairs that were not provided in the unit.

My priorities for this trip were close proximity to the beach and affordability. This property met both. I read the reviews first and had a good idea what to expect. Bottom line: I would stay here again for a short stay - we stayed 3 nights. The location was perfect - walk across the street and you're on the beach. The other side of the block had a paved walking/bike path and it was an easy mile walk to the center of the island. The property had most everything one would need on a short stay. Bed linens were comfortable and the metal shelving racks in one bedroom and the kitchen were handy. Downside: the mattresses were very uncomfortable - neither bed had a boxspring, but the mattresses were not foam, so need the added support. There is nowhere in the bathroom to set toiletries - I would remove the floorstanding towel rack and replace it with other shelving for toiletries and hang towel hooks on the wall; there is mildew around the grout line of the tub surround ; the walls adjacent to the other unit are not soundproof - at all ; would move the dresser that blocks the exterior door of the back bedroom as that would be a secondary fire exit since there are no windows; both doors to the bathroom are narrow and would be difficult if someone uses a walker. Property manager was friendly, prompt and check in was smooth. With a little updating, this property would be great.

Property was clean and great location. Excellent communication with the owner and property manager. The perfect place for our stay and will definitely book again. The only negative, if any, is that there was no TV in the bedrooms. Thanks!

Very nice group of little cottages. We had a group of 4 adults, and the single cottage was perfect for us. Getting info from the owner and property manager was easy, they respond to questions quickly. The cottage and property was clean and well supplied, and it was very nice to just have a code to get in with no keys or cards to haul around. Parking spots were clearly marked and easy to park 2 cars in 1 spot. Location was great, right across the not at all busy street to the public beach access, and the inground pool was clean with lots of seating etc around the pool for guests from all cottages to have plenty of room to sit and mingle or not as you choose. We will definitely be booking again on our next trip to St George.

Great place by a beach

Great place by a beach

The property is across from a tranquil beach, largely empty in mid-April, so we had it all to ourselves. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen had all the basic cooking utensils, pots, pans and dishes, so we were able to cook without issues. The pool was very nice and clean, a bit cold this time of the year. Laundry room was stocked with detergent and well functioning washer/dryer. The island had everything we needed, few small restaurants for nice lunch/dinner (not crowded, 20 min walk) and a couple of grocery stores (Piggly Wiggly was the better one of the two). The State Park at the tip of the island provided a vast natural beach for even more tranquil adventures. There is even a nice Natural Centre across the bay when kids wanted to stay away from the sun. Overall this place had everything we wanted from a Florida vacation: empty beaches with easy access, uncrowded restaurants and a nicely maintained property well stocked for a week of fun. Even the weather played along with lovely sunny days in the 70's (mid-April).
