Great house! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The Keurig is a definite plus! The pool and screened porch are wonderful spots to relax after spending time at the beach. The host is very responsive—quickly answering questions and providing assistance before and during our stay. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

Very nice and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of the whole island. We really enjoyed going to the park and just walking. We ate at Paddy’s and Blue Parrot and both were very good and reasonably priced. We met some of the locals and all were very nice and informative.

We just returned from a week at Shells and had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful beaches and island of SGI! The house was perfect for our group of 7. We enjoy cooking our meals in during our vacation and the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we have experienced after having stayed in many rental properties. The walk to the beach is an easy block away which is appreciated when taking beach gear and the pool is a nice option. Two full showers and a very nice outdoor shower helps get showers finished quickly. The location on the island is also perfect for bike riding. We rode to the bay side, lighthouse, restaurants, shopping and to get ice cream in the evenings. Our favorite by far was the spacious screened porch with an ocean view which we used for morning coffee, a lunch break from the sun and evening relaxation. You can hear and feel the ocean breezes from the porch. The clothes line was also a functional perk with clothes pins available. It is a relaxing and comfortable home with all you need if your primary vacation goal is being outdoors on bikes or boards at the beach!

My husband and I stayed here to escape the north winds of January with our dogs. This was the first time we took a whole month away from our business. This house was perfect. A cozy, relaxed space that is just as pictured. Great wi-fi allowed us to keep in touch on business matters when necessary. Quick and easy walk to the beach. Sunsets can be viewed from the back deck. There aren’t many people here this time of year, but we enjoyed the solitude. It was almost like having a private beach. We understand why this area is called “the forgotten coast”. If you’re interested in a little nightlife and shopping, Apalachicola is a quick drive. We had warm days with sunshine and ocean breezes, and cooler days when we cozied up to the fire and listened to the waves crashing outside. We will definitely be back to SGI and would happily stay at this house again.

It was a great house on St George Island. It was great to have a screened in porch and a pool to hang out and dip into the water.
The pool and house was super clean.
Planning to go back next year.

This was our 5th year on SGI and we always travel as a tribe of eight. It is 3 couples and 2 kids. This house was perfect for us this year! If you don’t love the people you are with, I would not recommend more than 6 staying but if you are looking for a place to catch a few winks while enjoying the island and truly bonding this is the perfect place.
The pool was an amazing addition to our trip for the evenings and rainy days where the kids still wanted water time. I would recommend that people bring citronella candles to put around the pool, seeing as we are in the south and mosquitos can not be avoided.
The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. She responded immediately when a storm came through and ripped the screen off the porch. She even offered to get someone out to fix it while we were there. This far beyond what we have experienced in our other properties.
I think I have rambled enough, but I hope this has done its work. You will love your stay at Shells!

We stayed here with our three young children and had a great time! The size of the house was perfect for us. We have a 1 year old, so while she napped the older children could swim at the house. It was just a short walk to the beach and we just pulled a wagon with our 1 year old and beach toys each day. It was plenty close enough that the older two kids could walk. The house was the perfect distance from the busy center of the island. We had a great week!

The house was just as pictured. The pool was perfect and we were just a few steps away from the beach. The house in front of us was under construction so that was a bit of a distraction when hanging out at the pool but that's obviously out of the home owners control. Communication was great and the location was perfect. We loved our stay and can't wait to be back!

This property was really perfect. Having a private pool was such a great addition to beach access super close. The house is super roomy with the best part being the screened in back porch. We would definitely visit this property again!

Great porch and small pool, but better pest control is needed inside at this location- we noticed a bug problem while we were there. Also, a new dishwasher is needed as current one doesn't actually clean. Finally, the description stated that a crate for pets was included, but we never found it. Fortunately, many dining establishments permitted pets so our dog went with us everywhere.

We love SGI! This was the first time for our granddaughters to visit the beach--they loved it. The five year old loved the sand but not the waves as much, so the pool was perfect for her. My daughter-in-law spent every night on the screened porch reading. We cooked most meals at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils. Beds were very comfortable. Location was very close to the beach and right in front of the bike path. The 11 & 8 year olds loved riding bikes in the morning and evenings. Michelle responded back to me promptly with any questions I had. It was a perfect week to just relax, play, and enjoy family. Thank you Michelle!

Relaxation and Fun
Our family stayed Oct. 5-9. The beach house is a gem! The beds were comfy and the pillows were high quality.
The kitchen is well stocked with glasses, mugs and plates.
The screen porch was a favorite of the adults. My husband and I stayed there most of the trip!
The pool was a major hit with our 11 year old son. Even though it was chilly for the adults, he stayed in the pool hour upon hours. The screen porch overlooks the pool, and made it nice to watch our son but still stay in a rocking chair.
The Shells was a wonderful beach house for our family!
