We stayed here for a week with 5 adults, 2 dogs, and 5 children, 0-5 years old. The location is amazing, only a short walk to public beach access that was never crowded. Pool was nice and private and we were overall comfortable during our stay, but will probably not stay here again. We appreciated that there is a baby gate installed at the top of the stairs on the top level (living room/kitchen) and the elevator is basically impossible for the kids to access on their own, so that was not a safety concern. The house was a little dirty (floors turned our feet black from day one), a bit outdated, and lacking some items (no oven mitts?!, bare minimum of shower/hand/dish towels). We had a few issues during our stay and the property manager was super responsive and had everything resolved very quickly. For example, the dishwasher was all but falling out of the cabinet and he had someone over the next day to repair. The battery to the door lock died and we were all locked out (with a 6 month old during the hottest part of the day), and he replied within 2 minutes and had someone over to the house truly in under 10 minutes. We also noticed there was sewage coming out the back of the house, and the pest control guy even commented on it when he came by (unannounced, which we did not love and didn't have him spray inside because we had babies sleeping and our dogs in the house). All in all, for the price and location -- and being pet-friendly -- this place was fine.

Clean and spacious home equipped with everything needed. Convenient to beach and bike paths .

The house I’m sure was at one time very pretty but needs lots of help! As all the other reviews stated, the elevator is in desperate need of updating and repairs. Does not work properly. Septic tank is messed up backing sewage up in yard the last several days of our trip. Location was nice and quite but until it gets much needed attention, I would not recommend staying here.

The lock did not work when we got there, but it was fixed very promptly and the elevator and TV’s are quirky just have to work with them. We stayed here over 20 years ago as well and it is a great location for sure. Beautiful views and the new floors are beautiful. The outside grounds need better care a lot of trash from maybe other visitors , but that is an easy fix. Hated to leave , very relaxing and the views!!!!!! Outstanding

This house was perfect. It is an easy walk to and from the beach with amazing views from the porches. The elevator was clutch for unloading and getting the kids up and down. The pool was beautiful and clean and the house was stocked with anything we could need. The one small problem we had with the sink was addressed and fixed extremely quickly especially considering it was a sunday night. I will definitely stay here again when visiting SGI.

Nice place, and great location to the beach!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at your house. It was close to the beach, could get everything we needed in a 5 minute golf cart drive, had an elevator in the house... and those views! The sunrises were beautiful. the house was big enough to congregate and find privacy. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and pans one could need. For those that needed a little help with the many stairs (the dog and me :) ) the elevator was a life saver. A true relaxing vacation.

We had a great time, nice place, nice island. We will come back sometime.

This property was great for our group. Love the ocean views from the house and short walk to the beach. It was nice to also have a pool.

Great location with a short stroll to the water. Excellent viewed from the loft deck. House was clean and as advertised. My only woe was the Weber grill and the “state park” model grill. The racks were rusted, and I couldn’t find a wire brush to go to work on them. Wish I’d spotted that before picking up some charcoal. Very relaxing and quiet house. We’d definitely come back.

We had a great time. Loved location. Just make a note to renters need to bring paper towels, garbage bags, and some extra blankets. Great otherwise.

Many things need attention here! Dealt with a malfunctioning refrigerator the entire stay (10 days). Had to keep most things in cooler. Freezer would not freeze anything though would keep most things already frozen. Master bath tub totally stopped up on arrival - would not drain at all. Elevator had trouble engaging on 3rd floor. So, often unable to call it from a lower floor or use from 3rd floor if you don’t know to move the lever down. Pots and pans so disorganized. After reorganizing/stacking, found that there was a good assortment of pans, lids, skillets. Over 25 years, have stayed in 9 different houses, 4 of the multiple times. This by far, has been the worst experience.

While the elevator can be fussity, Brandon was on-island and always available for assistance. The location, pool and other amenities were wonderful. A convection oven was a nice plus for baking brownies and reheating leftovers from the Blue Parrot.

We enjoyed our time! Very short walk to the beach, and the pool was clean and very nice.

The house was very nice and great for our family . when we arrived on Saturday the garbage was overflowing and critters had been in it had it every where wasn't picked up until Tuesday when left on Saturday of coure we had filled it again we had to bring 3 bags home with us I think it should be picked up twice a week. the elevator door on the bottom was so hard to open someone had to ride down or up with me to open . the back entrance door was so tight at the thresh plate myself and granddaughter couldn't open without assistence

Stayed one week with the family, with grandchildren from ages 2 thru 4. Management was prompt to respond to any issues to which they were informed. Several small appliances need to be checked (blender had a hairline crack in it), fish cleaning station was clogged prior to our arrival, and the pool area really needs some cool-deck applied, as it was almost too hot to walk on in the evenings. Still, the house was nice and one block from the beach.

We had a great stay. Elevator was a plus for sure, especially for my aging mother not to mention the groceries and luggage. The power poles were being replaced outside the property so we had noise all week from the trucks and were blocked from the driveway a few times. However, I understand the poles needed replacing (especially prior to future hurricanes/storms).

Love the island and the beach. House need a deep cleaning and some TLC. We did enjoy our stay and would go back again.

Nice property with a good layout for a large group not requiring two separate living areas. Balcony areas were clutch. Pool satisfactory to take a dip after the beach. Good location at the far end of the beach next to Plantation entrance. Older home so it shows some wear-n-tear, but that is what is good about this place, you can enjoy your stay without being over worried about the little things. Owner communication solid. Would stay again if I had the same group of 8.

“My Happy Place” is a spacious home that is a three minute walk to a relatively uncrowded part of the expansive beach. The house was delightfully clean. It is spacious both indoors and outside on porches with chairs that almost encircle the second and third floors. The kitchen is well-appointed with all the dishes and service-ware one could need.We appreciated that we could take our dog who enjoyed the third floor porch! We hope to return to this fabulous rental.

House was better than we could imagine. Pool was amazing and the elevator was a life savor for my grandmother. This will definitely be our go-to place to stay on st. George island!

The property was good. We were warned that the pool didn’t work. But the elevator wasn’t working either, which created a problem for my mother. We got all the groceries to the third floor, and all the suitcases to the second and third floors. The following day the elevator was fixed.

My wife and I spent our 25th wedding anniversary there. Due to the time of year (mid-Feb), the pool was too cold to swim in even though we paid for it to be heated. However we were told before hand that even with the heater on, it may not be warm enough to swim in. Not a big deal. The place does need some repairs performed. Screens were broken and the handrail for the widows balcony was very loose. Because of the coolness no insect problem but during the summer months not having the screens would be a problem. Cleanliness was OK, it could be better. We had to clean the showers ourselves when we got there since they were dirty and had some mold. The shower curtain in the master bath was also moldy. Overall we had a wonderful time and My Happy Place was a great place to stay

the family and I had a wonderful time

Loved this property. Owner is very responsive and helpful!

I rate property on they type of property that it is. I don’t relate a motel 6 the same as a Hilton. It’s all relevant. Positives: excellent communication and very easy to work with. The view of the gulf is very good considering it’s a block away. The space is large and can accommodate a lot of people. It’s pet friendly which is important to us. Easy walk to the beach……what could be improved: it needs a deep clean. General touch up things like painting…….Overall: Worked great for us. Would rate it like a quality inn type quality. Would stay there again.

Note that second floor toilet does not flush well. Coffee pot appears to be broken as well.

We had a great long weekend. Check-in was super easy, manager was easily accessible, the house was clean & had all that we needed. Although the front was on the main strip, loved that the side entrance was on a quiet side street next to the plantation. We do tend to ride bikes to restaurants so it was a tad bit farther than we anticipated, but we got great exercise. Pool area was great. The home is older but has lots of character & space! Loved it!

Took my mom and aunts to My Happy Place for a first ever girls trip. Could not have asked for a better place to stay or more relaxing vacation. Quiet, comfortable, clean, and homey. Offered all the comforts of home but with a fabulous view and private pool. The owner couldn’t be any easier to communicate with. Perfect secluded corner lot. Will definitely be making this an annual trip with the girls to stay at My Happy Place. It quickly became our new happy place!

We loved staying at ‘My Happy Place’ For a group of 7 adults, it was perfect!

Great location & plenty of room for everyone.

Property is deteriorating. Floors were not clean, new appliances not properly installed, mold in showers, screen doors banging, door to crows nest blew open in middle of night, multiple light bulbs burned out, toilets leaking, screened porch need screens replaced, smoke detector missing battery, lost internet half the week, mold under decks.
