We had am amazing time at Sea2Ski. The new updates were incredible! We had five, including three college-age children and still had plenty of space. It was a easy walk to the beach and there was always space available, which was a nice contrast to the public beaches at SGI. The property managers were great to work with and went above and beyond to see that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back.

Reviewer Comments: Thanks to a new rental company on the island who made our former favorite house no longer affordable, we've found an even better favorite! This house is well decorated, has everything you need (maybe add a plastic pitcher or two), and CLEAN! I've never re-booked our vacation this early, but I intend to do just that because the house is just fabulous! Thank you1

Beautiful home. Super clean, well stocked with dishes, blankets , anything you need! Worth every penny .

We had a wonderful week...gorgeous weather, nice people, and such great help from our property manager!

Had a wonderful family vacation Thanksgiving week. Cotton Candy is a great house, very well equipped and comfortable.

The house was very clean, spacious and beautiful; and the area was very quiet, peaceful, safe and such natural beauty! Very short walk to the beach through a unique, very natural beach path. My grandkids thought they were on a beach adventure path! The Forgotten Shores management staff were always very helpful, kind and quick to answer our questions. I would highly suggest Cotton Candy Beach House to anyone!

Loved the location and the gated community! Secluded and safe!! Beds were comfy too!

We fell in love with St George Island plantation, the bike paths all around were so nice and safe for our kids, and with the free beach gear included I would highly recommend getting bikes. The house was beautiful and well stocked for our large family. Plenty of room for everyone. The beach path was just a short walk and really easy to pull our beach wagon. Love cotton candy and will definitely be back.

Exterior stairs need some repairs. A rope to haul everything up the stairs would have come in handy.

Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at St George Island - this is our 5 visit to the Island and plan to continue to vacation here - we have stayed 4 times in the Plantation at Cotton Candy - the area is quiet and beautiful. The home is lovely and has everything we need. Have never had any problems and will continue to visit twice a year.

Our family stayed at Cotton Candy over fall break with our three kids, my brother’s family, and my parents and loved the house in its entirety! We were a short walk or bike ride to the beach, pool, tennis courts, and pickle ball courts, and we were able to picnic near Nick’s cove and kayak in the Apalachicola Bay watching pelicans catch fish and even one small plan take off from the airport nearby which was an unexpected treat! The house had all that we needed for cooking, cleaning, games, and beach gear and would definitely stay at Cotton Candy again next time we visit the uncommon Florida 😁

The outside of the home was nice and appeared as it did in the photos. The master bedroom did not get cool with the air conditioner and mattress was extremely uncomfortable as was the sofa in the living room. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes well and in my opinion needed to be updated as well as the microwave, which was 20 years old. Coffee pot was old, so old that it was burned on the bottom. Utensils and pots and pans were put away dirty and greasy. Had to wash them before we used them. The house was not in the best location. I would not choose it again. We have only stayed in the Plantation as we love the privacy of it. We did enjoy the beach and the 2 pools. Those were amazing!

We had an amazing time, the house is beautiful. We are planning a trip for next year and hope to stay here again.

We had a great stay here! It was very quiet and nice on the beach. Barely anyone was there and we all had lots of space to spread out! TONS of dolphins jumping and lots of sting rays playing in the ocean! (Shuffle your feet!!) For someone staying here I would be very observant of the amount of stairs to the upstairs as well as to the beach. The walkway is VERY helpful, but still have stairs. It was also wonderful to have bedrooms with so much light, but it was hard during the kid's naptime to have a darker space, so have the kids play extra hard! The house itself was nice and functional. The furniture inside and out was pretty old and could use some love/replacing. (A deck chair broke while someone was simply sitting in it.) There were some cobwebs in one of the bathroom windows. This is silly, but there was only one small pillow per person for all but one of the beds in the house. We had the water heater go out while we were there. We called the rental company and they had someone come to check things out and repair it that same day. Took care of it immediately! Great customer service! We also rented some gear that was REALLY nice to have. Bikes were a bonus to us, but fun to ride along the pathway and check out the beautiful houses! The house also had some fun beach gear and sand castle making things that seemed to be left by other guests. Those were nice too! I would definitely make sure that if you decide to go out to eat on the island that you call first. Many places had various and changing hours. The St. George Island Facebook group was helpful in figuring out what options were and what was open and closed as well. One night we went to 3 different places before finding an open one. All in all, we had a great stay. Things listed above were all pretty minor things that didn't effect our stay much, but might affect others more. It was a lovely place and we are very thankful for the time we spent there!

The island was perfect for our whole family, children and grandchildren. We loved staying at Cotton Candy. It was clean, easy to find and only a short walk to the beach. This trip, we have little ones with us and we didn't want to be right on the beach. The wildlife was abundant. Jamie, the property manager was so gracious when we called with a couple of questions. Even though the island was busy, the beach was not crowded and the traffic was not bad. There only small grocery stores, but we could easily find all that we needed. Both Piggly Wiggly Express and Island Grocery had great meat selections. We had BJ Pizza twice. If you do want BJ Pizza on Saturday (when everyone is checking in) do know that you need to call them early in the afternoon to be able to get through. We have already started planning to come back next year. We would stay at Cotton Candy again.

Only issue was beach access- if you have a cart with a lot of stuff and a lot of kids it can be difficult getting up/down the stairs to the beach.

Loved the house, the location, it was a great family time.

It was very quiet and beautiful. Loved seeing the wildlife while still having beach and pool access. Would definitely stay here again.

This review is based on all the things I wished I would have read when planning our trip and renting this property. We stayed as a family of 7 the end of may. We have 5 kids 12,10,8,5,2. This property was exactly what we were looking for location wise. Quiet, away from everything, yet close to the beach. It’s about 1/2-3/4 of a mile to the beach. SUPER easy walk through the path or in the road. We love the plantation community. The bike paths are amazing and well kept. The pool was BIG, clean and well maintained. The house it nice. The kitchen was well stocked. The furniture was a little run down. The decor is NOT KID FRIENDLY!!! They glass and ceramic things sitting everywhere. Just at eye level. The tops of the side tables and coffee tables are all glass. And the entire main level it decorated in topless mermaids. There were games, puzzles, and a high chair to be found in the closet so they know kids will be staying....it’s just not easy for parents to stay as hyper vigilance in necessary. The bedrooms are nice size. Beds and pillows are decently comfortable but not luxury in any way. More like super 8 motel luxury. Make sure to plan for doing laundry as there is only one towel and wash cloth person. In the kitchen there was 2 towels and 2 washcloths which we didn’t find to be enough. In the listing there was not pictures of the showers. Know that if you are a bigger person you will need to shower in the one bathroom upstairs that has a tub shower combo, as the other two showers were only about 36”x36”. So really small. We never did find WiFi and none of the TVs were connected to WiFi but there was cable and the main tv had a DVD player. Outside the house the decking boards are old and splintering...WEAR shoes!!! The beach gear that was left at the house was rusted and mostly unusable. The property management was attentive to our needs and helped quickly when an unusual problem arrived. We also used the beach gear credit and that was SO nice and a flawless system. Our gear was there when we arrived and picked up the day we left. I would highly recommend renting gear. Something to note about the area is that there are only small grocery stores within a 50 mile radius..while they had basics produce was hit or miss and mostly a miss HIGHLY recommend bring that in with you before you get settled. Overall would we stay again?Absolutely... we would just better know what we were getting into and pack accordingly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Cotton Candy on short notice and the location and property worked very well for us. We have stayed at other St George properties in the past. The location and amenities of the plantation are hard to beat. Cotton Candy is well located with very good beach access from the path on the east side of the lot, It was plenty of house for two people and we used only the main living level. It is a very good value for the price and location.
We have no real complaints about the house that would prevent us from staying there again, but some updates would make the rental experience better. The mattresses could be refreshed and some window coverings in the living areas would improve privacy on the main level. There were no spices in the kitchen and a few items added to the kitchen would make dining in better as there is limited grocery shopping and dining on the island. Minimal commercial development on the island is one of its best features. We will definitely stay on the plantation again and in Cotton Candy if it is available.

The home was well equipped, a short walk to the beach on a lovely nature-filled path, and we were able to relax and be secluded. We felt it was a great price for the week. It has a good amount of stairs so it's really not for people that have any mobility issues. There are a few upkeep items that need attention but no deal-breakers.

This was our 5th time to St George Island - we have stayed at Cotton Candy the last 3 times - the house is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We have never encounter any problems and always hate to leave.

We are making plans to return again.

worn out, dirty carpet. Grounds unkept. Would not stay here again.

Although not right on the beach, the surrounding property was beautiful and the walk to the beach was a very easy 3 minute walk. Also loved the bike trails throughout the neighborhood. The house itself was great. Very clean and the kitchen well stocked with cooking apparatus, pots and pans and dishes. We will definitely book this place again next time!

This is a lovely, well-appointed house that I would rent again. Jamie, the property manager, was very nice and attentive. I would gladly stayhere again? A few items that might be easy fixes: 1. The refriferator door does not close correctly, and keeps popping open. 2. The shower door in the queen room at the top of the stairs does not close completely. 3. In the same room as above, there is a constant hum that kept me from sleepig well, as if a generator is running below the room. 4. Fellow guests said the other queen room bed was uncomfortable. 5. The ice machine is not functioning correctly. 6. I'm not sure how it happened, but water faucets appear to have been installed incorrectly, so that they work in opposite directions. 7. A gas grill outside would be a nice addition. 8. A wooden step on the back stairs is broken. 9. The ceiling fan in the sitting area by the door out to the eck make an intermittent annoying clicking noise. 10. Some throw pillows for the sofa would be nice.

Again!!!
