AMAZING VIEW! Fun, Pets Welcome, Steps from Beach
About this house rental
Nestled in Saint George Island, this lovely house for $478 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. A Ruff Life is the quintessential Beach Cottage! Ruff features stunning ocean views, a fantastic deck, and is just 100 steps to the white sands of the Gulf. Its location in center island makes it the perfect place for families. After watching the dolphins from the deck or the soft sand, its an easy walk to the center of the island and all of the shops, restaurants, lighthouse, and activities St George Island has to offer. Ruff Life, as the name suggests, is not only perfect for people but is pet friendly too! No reason to leave your fur family behind, Ruff has mats, flooring, and a gated deck so your furry friend can hang out with you before heading to the beach which is steps away! Ruff features a well appointed kitchen, laundry, Wifi, Hi-definition TVs, DVDs, movies, and wireless speakers for streaming your favorite beach tunes. The open feeling and bright colors bring the beauty of this special island inside so even a rainy day is special. Take a quick walk to center island and pick up doughnuts, visit a restaurant or bar, or grab a souvenir or groceries. Walk home and enjoy wine on the deck as you watch the magnificent sunsets change the color of the ocean and sky. Ruff Life is the best of what St George Island has to offer--paradise. There is plenty of room at Ruff Life with both a King and a Queen bedroom sharing the downstairs bath, and a loft featuring a full bath and 2 large twin daybeds with great ocean views. *Ruff is pet friendly and allows (1) dog for a $75.00 non-refundable pet fee. If you have an additional pet please contact me and we can make it work. We also do a $300 refundable damage deposit

Myself, my adult kids, and their significant others immensely enjoyed my birthday week at Ruff Life.
Although it’s not “oceanfront”, it may as well be. You can clearly see the ocean and hear the waves from the deck. We even saw dolphins a couple of different mornings while having our coffee out on the deck.
We spent a lot of time on the deck and in the sun room. We cooked a lot too and the kitchen had everything you need for any meal you make.
We truly enjoyed our time while there.

This was a great house. It was clean, you can see and hear the beach from the house and it’s just a few steps to the beach. Home owner is awesome and was so helpful. We had an amazing week at Ruff Life!!

Great location and super easy access to beautiful/peaceful beach. The house could use some updating in the kitchen area cabinets/countertop and bathrooms. I had to tighten screws on doorknob leading to front outside deck beings it was almost falling off when we first arrived. The homeowner did have a bottle of champagne on table for our wedding anniversary waiting for us which my wife loved. Overall a nice quiet house just needs some updates.

The pictures provided are spot on, the house was clean and the owners very friendly and accommodating. Our teenage son met a lot of new friends and our two dogs had a blast on the beach. The water was clear and calm our entire stay. We will definitely be returning to spend more time chilling out on that lovely deck with the ocean view!

We had the best time!! The house was in a perfect location & the cleanest house we’ve ever stayed at! It needs a little work but nothing that was an issue for us. The downstairs shower had THE BEST water pressure! The owners were awesome to deal with & easy to communicate with! Would highly recommend!

Perfect location! Close enough to everything on the island that we wanted to do by walking or golf cart. My 12yo most enjoyed opening the windows in the sunroom and relaxing in the salty breeze. We were able to bring our 1yo pup along and she loved people watching from the balcony and going for golf cart rides. I was surprised at how pet friendly the island is.
My husband shore fishes and found the outside sink very helpful for cleaning his catch. The rental had everything we needed and was the perfect location with beautiful views of the water.

Starting at check in, Tom and Sheryl, provided all the information we requested and more. Even a Happy Thanksgiving text! We found the place to be nicer than in the photos- we couldn’t believe how clean it was for being pet friendly. You can see views of the ocean from every room. The walk to the beach is short and the community loves pets!

This house is exactly as advertised. It was very clean and well equipped. The location is fantastic, just walk across the street and the path to the beach is right there. Great ocean view from the outside porch and sunroom.

Always apprehensive about pictures matching reality but this place is the real deal! First time traveling with our dog and were very happy to find such a wonderful place. The location is superb and great to be able to just easily walk back to get forgotten items or get the pup out of the heat. We all loved the house, the views, and the relaxing stay!

Our first stay at this property and on St. George Island. Very impressed with both! The beach is just steps away and the property is well kept. The owners are very responsive and easy to deal with. We can't wait to come back ! Perfect week at the beach with old friends and our dog Tula.

Our stay was great. The house is small but our family of 5 (3 adult children) and a dog did just fine. This would not be a good place for those who need privacy. The outdoor showers was a plus! When I saw the tiny over/under washer-dryer, I was worried, but it was no problem. We jut had to keep laundry going constantly. Highly recommend Ruff Life.
4.0
The house is cozy and clean. The air conditioning in the sun room was out and unrepairable during our stay. The owners were very good about coming out to investigating the problem. The house needs updating but it is in a convenient location to all of St George and the beach!
5.0
The house was just the perfect size and we enjoyed our stay! The location and views are unbeatable. Within walking distance of everything! A small glitch with an AC but the owners had taken care of it before we arrived and then followed up to make sure. We appreciated the personal attention! We'll be back on our next trip to SGI!

This property is in a great location! Don't worry about it not being directly on the beach, it is such easy access it is worth saving the money to be a row back. The views are still amazing!
I wish I would have know how golf cart friendly this community is and that they are easily available to rent. It looked like fun! I would definitely stay again - and rent a golf cart!

We really enjoyed our stay. We spent a week at SGI and it was the best vacation we have ever had. The pictures do not show how amazing this property is. We had a great view of the beach and the walk to the water was just a couple of minutes. I would definitely come back.
