This was a fantastic vacation home! We enjoyed everything about this location!

This house is in a fantastic location with easy short walks to the beach or the bay. The Highs: This house is stocked with all your beach and family fun needs! Boogie boards, beach wagon, beach chairs, ping pong, yard games and more. The house itself is spacious and could house multiple families perfectly! It has a well stocked kitchen. The family and dining areas are comfortable and the front porch is great for ocean sounds and catching the breeze. Lows: The master king bed is terribly uncomfortable. We ended up leaving the room empty because of it. There was a water leak downstairs that forced us all to move bedrooms for a night night. We paid the pool heat fee of $350, but even on 70 degree days, it was freezing. I inquired about a refund during our trip and never got a response. Overall, it was a great house and if we go to SGI again, we will consider it again.

This property is wonderful! Sunrise every morning, and sunset every night right from the covered front porch...priceless! Or walk across the street to the beach access and see them completely unobstructed. The rooms are all great size and very well appointed. The primary mattress was excellent, the family room furniture was comfortable, and love the heavy composite outdoor furniture. Having separate, yet connected, living quarters and partial kitchen downstairs was wonderful for sons family who joined for a quick visit. The pool area is a terrific spot to sun, relax, and get out of the wind from the beach. The house was clean, and I'm a neat freak, so that was a huge welcome after a long journey! One wish would be a washer and dryer in the downstairs apartment. Sharing one washer and dryer for the entire property can be a challenge. Although your supply of large pool towels was a great surprise and bonus. Of course no property is perfect. We weren't thrilled with the unannounced visits...1. to replace the furnace filter (could have been done on flip day), 2. when a property management employee came up the back steps, unannounced, to then let himself into the Crows nest bedroom. We were napping in main house. Our dog saw him and went nuts. I went to the door, he shook a huge set of keys and said " I can let myself in" then did so. Putting a brand new boxed tv behind the dresser and left with no explanation. Now had someone been sleeping, showering, or getting dressed in that room we would have had a major issue! I don't not think any employees should be allowed to enter a property you're renting, without prior notice of text, email or phone call and a time they will be arriving. That is a privacy and safety issue that needs to be addressed. This is the 2nd Fickling property were we had multiple unannounced visits during our stay. We're a retired couple, not like we're having any wild parties to check up on. The driveway is shared and every day there was construction truck traffic up and down the driveway. Which is right next to the private pool so that was a noisy, somewhat uncomfortable situation with men walking and driving back and forth all day. With that being said we love the island, the beaches, the people, and all the pups we come across. We'll definitely be returning yearly to the island! And we would rent this property again.

Overall it’s a nice house for a large family. Fully equipped, and the ping pong table was a huge hit! If you stay in the summer, they have everything you need to go to the beach. The pool is nice, although it was too cold to use when we stayed, even heated. Beach access was close by. You could still see and hear the ocean from upstairs deck. . Management was good to respond to any questions and knew the property well.
