This home is gorgeous and so comfortable. Sheryl is a wonderful host always checking on you to make sure you have everything you need and has lots of info about the island. The home is a very short walk to the beach and she even provides beach chairs. The home was just perfect for the 8 of us!

Sea Gem Truly is a Gem
We have been coming to SGI for 20 years and always stay on the Plantation (now with two kids, ages 10 and 13!. After a series of beachfront rentals, we opted for Sea Gem this time, which is Tier 1. The house was very clean, kitchen well-stocked with a variety of pots/pans, dishes, and even spices! The property is well-laid out with nice bedrooms and only a couple of steps from the beach walk. While we didn’t use the pool at all, it was clean and inviting. Sheryl was wonderful and very responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!

Dangerous upstairs banister
Home and location are great. Only problem with the home is the banister on the second floor. The width between the spindles are very far apart. My 2 year old son actually fell between them and landed on the hard wood floors(from the second story). After $6,000 in medical bills, I would never rent this home with small children unless that has been taken care of. Otherwise the home was great.

Perfect property, location, and host
My family has been vacationing on St. George Island for the better part of 20 years, with all but a couple visits not on The Plantation. We can't say enough about how much we've loved our time on the island over the years including fishing, kayaking, biking, running, swimming, and just general hanging on the beach. This is our definition of a beach paradise that allows us to bring our pups on the beach with responsible pet parents to boot, i.e., no compromising beach cleanliness, beauty, or general love of fur kids on the beach. Now, regarding the house: Sheryl has truly made a little beach paradise oasis all but a hop, skip, and jump from the beach. All the amenities you could ask for on the beach including kayaks, bikes, pool, and general beautiful setting and home. Location and property was not only as advertised but even better than expected. Highly recommended and two paws up from Pants, our 12 y/o Yellow Lab!

Beach Getaway
Sea Gem worked out perfectly for our family. The location was perfect. Everyone was very comfortable, we had plenty of room. The pool was extremely private and couldn’t have been better for relaxing and swimming and the kids loved the less sandy option for the toddler. The street was private and quiet, yet right across the way was a boardwalk path to the beach, a very short walk. Sheryl was quick to answer any questions. Our evenings ended with rocking in the chairs on the porch and planning our next visit. Sea Gem helped make this trip full of great memories which was exactly what I was hoping for!

Family Gathering
Our 3-generation family of 5 adults and two young children had an amazing week on St. George Island. "Sea Gem" was indeed a "gem." The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the heated pool daily and enjoyed only being a short step away from what felt like our private beach. Located within the gated Plantation community, we enjoyed the landscaped grounds, access to bicycle paths, and other community amenities. Though we ventured out to other parts of the island and nearby mainland communities, we were on the island for quality family time in a peaceful setting. Sea Gem checked all the boxes. Also, Sheryl (the homeowner) is also a "gem"--she responded quickly to any questions we had and was genuinely interested in making sure our visit to her property and the island went smoothly. Overall, this was a 5+ vacation home.

Beautiful,Quiet,Peaceful
Our family of 7 had a great July 4th week! From the really fun SGI waterwar parade to the fireworks! The house is very close to beach. Beach towels, chairs, toys, kayaks, bikes provided! We could see the dolphins playing in the gulf from the rocking chairs on the huge porch! This place feels like home, very clean, has everything needed for meals (we ate in mostly). Comfortable beds with lux bedding. Crazy large and lux showers with excellent water pressure! Easy booking and communication with owner who lives nearby and quick response by text/phone to questions we had. The beach itself was beautiful, clean and uncrowded! Also has a lovely pool. The only suggestions for improvement would be to update the dishwasher ( we had to Re wash a few dishes after a run), add a few more bath linens and silverware and nicer pool furniture. We would not hesitate to stay here again when in the area. Thank you Sheryl for being a great host and sharing your beautiful Beach House with us!
