Great location for easy beach access at a non- ocean front price. I’ve stayed ocean front with further walk to beach before. Perfect size for 2 adults and dogs (plus medium & large dog crates). Host is awesome to work with. Rent his golf cart if available: best way to cruise the island!!

The location was perfect across the street from the water. The unit was clean, as were all the linens and housewares. The screened in porch was perfect for our two small dogs to come into and be wiped off. The neighborhood was quiet. The rooms were spacious. The pool and pool area was clean. The only concern was you could hear and feel the people walking around in the second floor apartment. But not complaining just observing. They were great people. Enjoyed our time there and would recommend to anyone.

We stayed for a week over the 4th of July. We were afraid once we realized it was a triplex, but we lucked out with those renting the other two units. The pool was a decent size and clean. The bottom unit we had was clean and comfortable. We did not cook at the unit because we visited with friends in the other side of the island. The towels and basics provided were appreciated. Allan was easy to communicate with and we rented his golf cart for the week. It is a short walk across the street to the beautiful beach. Would recommend for an affordable get away in SGI. Would be nice to have the whole triplex as a larger family or group if more space is needed with multiple kitchens. Ample parking.

We had a great respite from Michigan March weather. We were close to the beach which I walked every day. Alan was a wonderful host, very responsive to our needs..

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! The beds were comfortable, the unit was very clean, and we loved sitting out on the front porch. It is just across the street from the beach! The kids enjoyed the pool even though it is March and I think it was cold. Kids are resilient! I would absolutely book this home again!

While building in the area, we needed a place to stay and visit the site and family. Trout is a great location and very peaceful. Excellent location for beach combing, running and biking. And...if you prefer to walk to the donut shop, it's about a mile away.

What a charming place and an amazing location. Across from the beach, a pool in the back. It was wonderful. The beach was dog friendly so Toes got to live his best life too. All the restaurants and stores are close by and pet friendly too. Highly recommend these cottages.

We have stayed on the island for 12 years. It is the only beach my boys know. We have stayed at the Trout a handful of times. We have always enjoyed our stay. All I will say is this, if a property has two king beds and a sleeper sofa, expect six people to sleep there because there is room. However, if the two extra people are four years old and 5 months old, don’t bless out their father in front of them because he brought too many people to stay at the property. We could say lots more, but we have more class than the owner.

We had a wonderful trip! Thank you so much to Allan for setting us up! St George Island is a really cool place, and this property is SOO close to the beach. We were able to bring our dog along for her first beach trip as well as our 9 & 6 y/o girls. This listing is 1 unit of a 3 unit property, so you could potentially have your whole group stay at this property and all have their own condos, but we shared the pool, walkway and driveway. It was definitely private enough for our family, and I could also see the benefit of staying with a larger group across all 3 units!
The pool is in need of some repairs and newer furniture and some lighting for after dark, but it worked for our family. We also noticed that at least one of the dining chairs had a furniture tack or something that was long enough to poke through the seat; we let Allan know so that should be repaired for the next visitor.
And one final note on the property - the listing says the rental comes with pantry items, but that was not the case for us. There was no spice rack (salt/pepper), or coffee/sugar, etc. You get 2 trashbags, 2 rolls of paper towels, I think 2 rolls of TP, 1 load's worth of laundry detergent, and a handful of bars of soap for handwashing. You'll definitely need more trashbags, and probably more TP. We didn't need to buy paper towels though. We've probably been spoiled at other VRBOs in other beach cities where the cleaning staff leave that kind of thing for the next visitor bc only receiving those startup supplies seemed standard for the island. BUT there are 2 grocery stores on the island that have decent prices and Sparks & Sons has FREE coffee ;-).
There is a lot to do on the island too, and the dog was welcome almost everywhere! You can rent anything you need - bikes, kayaks/paddleboards, tents, golf carts. There's also a neat state park with beaches and hiking trails on the island, and the Bay is about 2 blocks behind the house (wear bug spray - the mosquitos are insane!).
One of our favorite things about this visit was the wildlife. Lots of good bird watching! Also saw dolphins, crabs, turtle nests, little lizards, and a bat! We went just across the bridge to ANERR, listened to a Turtle Talk (so cool!), and then got to walk through a little mini aquarium. This was free!; I wish we had spent more time here bc we didn't get to see everything!
Another indoor activity was Art of Glass (make & take art class) - we all loved it!

We had the 1st floor "cottage" and it was a pretty little space. I especially loved the screened porch where I had my morning coffee. Beautifully decorated and we had everything we needed, except the use of one of the beds as the previous guests had broken the bed frame, so we used a couple air mattresses. The owner communicated with us and compensated us for the loss so everything was good.
Property is for sale right now. Also the ad says the beach access is steps away, but a new house was build across the street that blocks the beach view and previous access now. So we only had to walk a few more steps to the beach access, not a problem.
The owner has plenty of beach chairs, mats and even a kayak for guests to use. The pool is clean and just what we needed after a hot day on the beach. We enjoyed the company of the other guests in the cottage above us. They had young children so it sounded like a heard of elephants above us, but it didn't bother us.
Our Sister's Trip was perfect. Thank you.

The neighbors above us very noisy, plus very loud outside with construction. No sleeping in construction started at 8 am heavy hammering in foundation piers.
