Family time on St George Island
Home was beautiful. The property manager contacted us to update wifi code. We reached out for some minor issues. She came over right away and then kept us informed on the progress of the repair. Loved the bayside quiet at the end of a street. Super private, peaceful.

Had a wonderful time. House is gorgeous. The views are spectacular. My oldest grandson (6) wanted to watch the sunrise and we did. He also caught his first fish. A small Red. Loved the privacy.

Prior to arriving property management provided exceptional customer service with a change request. The property was very clean and as advertised. The property is secluded and access to beach, pool(s) and local scene are convenient. Our family was impressed with Plantation cleanliness and attention to detail.

Quiet privacy at excellent property
As previous homeowners in The Plantation, this is an excellent custom property with everything we needed and more. The location is private and quiet. The surprise of the trip, the morning visits to the dock by a local eagle - quite the special view from the upstairs office. Views across the bay and excellent spot for the spectacular sunsets. Don’t miss this great property. We will be back for more time here. Our only disappointment, we couldn’t extend our trip longer due to next guests already scheduled.

We traveled over 800 miles with 6 of our closest friend to stay in the house. It did not disappoint! There are stunning views off all the balconies. The house generously accommodated all 8 of us and everything we brought. Thank you for being such gracious hostess. We will definitely be staying there again!

Best rental vacation home EVER!
Best house on he island! Beautiful modern home, very nice finishes and decor. Very private! Neighbors are not close. Beautiful water views and sunsets. Plenty of space to explore or just sit and watch the water. We Enjoyed the well equipped (Fancy) kitchen, the large screened in porch with plenty of seating for a large group and the rooftop deck to enjoy beautiful sunsets. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and There was plenty of storage in the Dressers nightstands and closets. Bathrooms were also very nicely designed. The elevator was great for our elderly guest and hauling our stuff in and out of the house. Will plan to stay here again!

A Perfect Family Thanksgiving
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the whole family at this beautiful property. Everything was absolutely perfect from the spacious kitchen to the comfortable bedrooms. Jamie was so helpful and the rental process could not have been any easier. She made sure all of my questions were answered and that the house was ready for our family. We loved Forcynthia!

The house is everything shown and more! Beautiful furnishings, fully stocked kitchen and a great layout. Incredible views of the sunrise and sunset, a peaceful serenity with the water and birds, plus a great fishing spot! The community is also lovely, with private beaches and multiple pools. We fell in love with Saint George Island staying here and will definitely return!!
