Property as advertised. Clean & comfortable. Very easy walk to beach. Interior, exterior and grounds nicely done and comfortable. The local PM (Laura) was very helpful and responsive. We will book again next year.

Great location
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.

Older property but HC accessible which is what we needed (no steps). Weather was colder and cloudy but right across street from beach! Good for older people. Walks along the beach were great!

Wonderful little bungalow-
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.

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

SGI has long been a favorite of ours. Laid back and beautiful. Beach bum was well located, and well maintained. Furniture and beds not ideal for long term stays.

Perfect cozy place
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!

Good. Dated but clean. The hot water was too hot. Everything worked. Smaller pool. The beach was right across the street.

Very low end property
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.
