Perfect location! Perfect HOME!! Perfect hostess! Thai Sabai is the cleanest and best stocked home ever! We have been staying on St. George Island since celebrating the New Year of 2000. It always feels as if we are coming home when we cross the bridge. Thank you for sharing your home!

The property was incredible with the view....not smack on Gulf but perfect view from windows and decks. Great short path to beach....Crabbing for bait crabs at night was grandsons fave thing. View of stars is remarkable since it is a black out community....so cool. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but we managed to get in beach time, boating, fishing and crabing and see the stars. When it poured we had a entire closet full of puzzles, board games, movies etc. Don't forget to go into Appalachacola! Our host was fantastic and I felt completely comfortable.,

Great week at SGI! Our family loved the proximity to the beach. If we weren't on the beach we were on one of the outside deck areas. The kids loved the hammock and the adults always found the shade with a view of the water.

The property is perfect! The walk to the beach is maybe 60 yards. The views from the balconies are great. The house is decorated very thoughtfully… it feels like staying in someone’s home and not a rental. Sabra does not skimp when it comes to the amenities. Great cookware, TVs etc. She is quick to respond to questions and is very accommodating. When asked how it rated vs any other beach property at which we have stayed, my kids said they don’t want to stay anywhere else. I would recommend to anyone!

Home has everything needed for a relaxing, enjoyable stay at the beach. Umbrellas, a bike, beach toys. Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. Well cared for home. Owner is a joy to work with. 2nd visit. Will be back!

I’ve been going to the gulf for 30 years. This house is one of my favorites. For me, the most important part of a beach rental is the common space, both inside and out. This house has a great living space on the 2nd floor where you can either all choose to be together or use one of several different seating areas with no walls between. The seaside deck on the 1st floor is amazing! There is covered space in the shade as well as some sun seating/lounging. I have never rented a bad house but rarely leave and say I would go back to the same place. I’m already thinking about booking here again.

We had a wonderful month long stay at Thai Sabai. The home is even more lovely than the pictures show. Sabra got back to us right away when we had questions. The home is clean and has everything you need. It is so close to the ocean, with a great wooden walkway. The decks are furnished with comfortable tables and chairs for enjoying a good book or eating your evening meal with the sounds and view of the ocean. We enjoyed daily rides on the bike paths and also used the community pool and pickle ball court. We enjoyed our stay!

Sabra has a beautiful home that is well maintained and felt just like home from the moment we arrived. Sabra is a very special host and we could not be more grateful we had the opportunity to stay in her home. We look forward to returning again and again.

We had a wonderful time at an amazing place, peacefully listening to the ocean waves, watching Pelicans and Dolphins going by and enjoying the warmth of this beautiful island.
Long Beach walks and relaxation on one of the many porches with stunning views, watching birds and loving life.
Sitting at the fireplace at colder January nights and enjoying a shower in this stunning master bathroom.
Nothing short of a dream place.
Thank you Sabra

The home is amazing. Sabra has decorated and renovated this property impeccably. It feels like a home, not a vacation rental. We lacked nothing. The kitchen is as well stocked as my own. There were even cotton balls in the bathroom. Sabra was kind enough to be in touch with me personally when the track of a hurricane was still uncertain and offered to delay our seven day vacation for a few days until the track of the storm became more definite. Great stay!

This is our 2nd stay at Sabra's. We were here last Nov for a beach Thanksgiving and loved the house, location to the beach and just the general laid back way of St George Island. Decided we wanted to come back for a summer experience and did not think twice about renting again with Sabra. The house is very cozy and clean and there is not one thing she has forgotten to make your stay AMAZING! The kitchen is very well stocked if you are inclined to cook your meals while on vacation. The views of the gulf from the house are breathtaking (see dolphins every morning) and only takes seconds to walk to the beach. Has several decks and lounge areas where if you want to spread out from your family or friends you are with there are many choices. I personally love the hammock.
We will definitely rent from Sabra again on our next trip to St. George. She is an amazing VRBO host and we are thankful she shares her beautiful home!

The Thai Sabai was perfect in all aspects for our family. Very close to the beach and the house was spotless! Sabra is awesome and is very attentive to any need you may have (We didn't have any!). Would definitely recommend to any family needing a place on St George Island.

Thai Sabai is beautiful and has everything you need for a fantastic, relaxing vacation. The minute you get up to the top floor, the picture windows give you an amazing view of the gulf. There is plenty of seating on the decks for everyone. One of the cleanest houses we have ever rented. The location is amazing and it’s so quiet and peaceful. There is an outdoor shower to rinse the sand away and access to two pools and a fitness center which are really nice! Communication was excellent and responses were quick. Would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Property with Spectacular Views!
The house was cleaner than ANY place we have ever stayed for vacation - including 4 & 5 star hotels! Sabra truly does an amazing job at prepping her home for her guests. The pictures on VRBO do not even tell the whole story. The place is amazing and beautifully laid out! The living area and kitchen is perfect for the whole family to connect and enjoy while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean. We loved the outdoor deck on the second level. It had plenty of sun and shade along with great views of the ocean! The hammock is a perfect place to take a nap! I also snuck away a couple of mornings to sit on the back deck on the second level for some quiet time alone to do my bible study! Perfect spot! There are plenty of places outside to rinse off after coming back from beach. The boardwalk from the house provides quick and easy access to the beach. We have stayed at several places now in The Plantation and this is by far the best one and the cleanest! We look forward to staying here again next time we return to St George! No need to look any further.

Sabra's home is absolutely perfect and easily the best appointed home we've ever stayed in. It is a real value on St. George Island with a great location. We really could watch dolphins swimming by in the Gulf from the living room. Sabra is a wonderful host!

Thanksgiving at Sabra St George
My family and I LOVED our visit to St. George Island and being able to rent Sabra's beautiful home for our Thanksgiving holiday. Next time we visit would definitely want to rent again. The house was the perfect size and set up for my family of 5. Making Thanksgiving dinner was easy with all her very nice quality kitchen equipment and supplies. Loved all the different decks to relax and lookout to the beach. The house is clean and cozy...comfortable everything!! The location to the beach is perfect and very easy to walk to (takes maybe 30 seconds). Of all the different VRBO's we have rented Sabra has been the best at communicating with us and making sure it would be an easy process from beginning to end!

Perfect vacation home on the beach, in the Plantation!
This house may be the best beach house my wife and I have stayed at. Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach- the house is beautiful with plenty of room, and very nice furniture.. the kitchen is well stocked with anything you may need.. Sabra is a great host and communicates very well! Would highly recommend staying here!

The house is very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with kitchen, bath, and beach supplies. It is an easy shaded short walk to the.beach. The outdoor decks are absolutely great especially the one with the hammock. We would love to stay here again and would highly recommend this house.

My wife and family stayed here for one week in this gorgeous house. It is literally about 100 feet or less to get to the beach. The house was well stocked with everything we needed the master bath was amazing! You are about 12-13 minutes away from the Piggly Wiggly Express so highly recommend stocking up on everything you need to minimize your grocery trips. This house is located in an upscale neighborhood, extremely quiet, and you basically have the beach to yourself with no crowds.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would defiantly come back again. The owner was very helpful during our communications and answered our questions promptly. The house was beautiful, very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. The pictures don’t do justice to it. The decks wrap around the house so you could always find a sunny spot to tan or a shady one to relax. Anything that you might possibly need is there. The house was very clean and only steps away from the beach. Our dog was very happy there and had the best time hunting for crabs. The beach was not crowded at all and we were allowed to bring our dog without any time restrictions. That was the main reason we chose to rent in Plantation community. We enjoyed our walks on the beach and at times our beach umbrella was very far away from the next one. Our teenage girls had fun body boarding and riding the waves. It was a perfect beach vacation.
