We had a nice time visiting this very unique hideaway on the island. The decorating is so fun! I loved the little room and adjoining screened in porch on the bottom level. I would love to come back!

My family and pups really enjoyed our time at Island Secret. The house is very comfortable and colorful, with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of fenced space for our pups to run. The home is easy walking to the beach and gulf sides of the island and not far from island center with restaurants and other activities. The owners/managers were very responsive to requests and questions. We did not use the downstairs, but the extra space would be nice for a larger family or group. We had a great time!

We were fortunate we chose this “Secret”. The weather was amazing and this homey (Love Sac couch in the living room…sigh💕) cottage was everything we could have asked for. It was private too! It is a very short walk to the beach and provided us with everything we needed. The things we did need was a very short drive to the Piggly Wiggly.
I have to say that the collection of beach decor that has been collected is amazing. We had so much fun exploring and finding something new to look at at every turn.
The owner was SO responsive and nice. We could not have picked a better place to stay. If I could give 10 stars I would.
Thank you for an excellent experience.

Check-in was easy with no problems. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Appreciated the fenced yard for our dog. The house was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked as we did cook during our stay. All in all it was a great stay. Highly recommend!!

Loved how clean and cozy everything was. Enjoyed the back porch and loved all the little places to “hide” for peace and quiet. We all felt like we were staying in a tree house with the beautiful canopy of trees all around. Loved how we felt we had our own private island oasis.

We loved our stay at Island Secret! The house was perfect and had a great beachy vibe with all of the decorations throughout. The home is well stocked with everything you need. It is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach which was perfect to walk our dog. The upstairs deck was a great place to relax and listen to the birds. This was our first time in St. George Island and we’ll definitely be back.

We loved staying at Island Secret. Our dogs were safe and secure in the fenced yard. The beach was a quick walk and eating places were close too. It was a beautiful and clean house, and it perfect for us. Our adult son loved the downstairs room; he had his own space and bathroom. I would definitely recommend to anyone. We are hoping to come back next year, and stay there again.

Not sure how much of a secret it will be after this post but… spread the word..!! My wife and I completely enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable and beachy cottage. We didn’t get the best weather (lots rain) but the cottage more than helped make our vacation enjoyable. Loved the porch to be able to relax and play games. The fenced yard was perfect for our fur babies to be able to burn some energy yet remain completely safe. It was just a short walk to the beautiful dog friendly beaches of St George Island which we did often. The landscape and decor was perfect and exactly what we were hoping for when searching for the perfect rental. And finally, I can’t say enough positive things about our hosts. Very easy to communicate with, truly caring and wanting our vacation to be perfect. Quickly responding to any questions we had. We both highly recommend Island Secret to anyone wishing to enjoy the perfect accommodations to safely enjoy all SGI and the surrounding areas have to offer!!!

We really enjoyed our stay, everything was very comfortable. We tried our best to keep it clean during our stay, would suggest providing a sm vacuum or a better broom/dustpan, mop and bucket. Other than that it could not have been better.

Everything was perfect! Exactly as described. The house was beautifully decorated. So relaxing! We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked for next year! You’ll have NO problem finding anything you need in the kitchen. Owners were very responsive anytime I had a question.

Glen was great with communication and responded quickly to any questions we had. Property was very clean and beautifully decorated. Loved how close to the beach it was without the beach front price tag.

We had an amazing time in this island hideaway. It was a perfect fit for 4 adults with some room to spare. Fully stocked kitchen with a great outdoor BBQ area. The private fenced property was an excellent plus for our dogs. This is an really special place and I look forward to coming back.

Thank you Lawson family for letting us stay at your house. We loved everything about the property. The atmosphere ya'll have created made for an amazingly relaxing week. We hope to come back.

This was our second stay at Island Secret, or as we call it, The Tree House (because it sits on a landscaped, fenced, private lot). It was lovely and just like we remembered with a few updates. The location can't be beat and the porch is fabulous for coffee and a book with the birds. We also enjoyed easy strolls to both the beach and the bay each morning with our dog.
House rules are easy to follow and very reasonable. The home was clean and well stocked with essentials for cooking, the washer and dryer were in great working order, and all appliances were in great shape. My only critique is that I wish there were a vacuum for guests to use to tidy up sand. The provided brooms were fine, I just prefer a vacuum.
I highly recommend this location for your next trip, especially for a getaway with a few friends or that special someone.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at the Island Secret. The house is perfectly located on the island, the owners clearly love the property and have devoted tons of time and energy into making it welcoming and comfortable for their guests, and the communication with the owners is beyond compare. I was able to stay in touch with them throughout our stay, and I truly felt like I was being hosted by family. I can't thank Glenn and Lawson enough for making this much needed vacation truly relaxing and rejuvenating for me and my sons. The screened in porch downstairs is a relaxing little heaven. The upstairs porch is delightful at all times of the day. And the sleeping arrangements were perfect for us. We plan to return and are thankful to Glenn and Lawson for sharing this home with seasonal visitors to the island. Amazing find. Thank you again!

Very pleasant stay on St. George island. Was nice to have fenced in area for my fur baby. A real treat cooking fresh shrimp and grouper for dinner. We’ll appointed kitchen.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was clean, had all the amenities, and was only a short walk from the beach. The hosts were great in communicating prior to our stay, and we just loved everything about it. Outdoor spaces, indoor spaces, TV with lots of channels, and all the cooking stuff one would need including several crock pots, utensils, plates/cups and both regular and Keurig coffee makers. Our dog was with us, and the fenced yard kept her safe. Loved it!

Our 2nd time at this property was just as amazing as our 1st. Glenn was very nice and helpful when I called for advice about the area. A clean, relaxing stay for us. Plan on returning soon. Thanks again

It was our first time visiting SGI & we had an amazing time! The experience was incredible! Glenn & Lawson’s place is located in a really nice dog friendly home with a secluded fenced in area with all the island’s jewels close by…we loved the privacy, the beach was just a short walk down from the home, the kitchen was beautiful and upstairs & downstairs porches were so nice with a cool display of the island’s personality! We hadn’t tried oysters since we were children (which of course as kids …the outcome was ewww…lol…) BUT we decided to be brave and go to Lynn’s Oyster just over the bridge & loved them!! Some of our favorite things to do were walking in the island’s state park’s nature trail with our dog. It was so beautiful! We saw two majestic eagles fly over us & butterflies were everywhere as we walked along the trails’ wildflowers. The rain and cold front brought us the most majestic gorgeous sunset with a misty fog unlike anything we’ve ever experienced! Another favorite of ours, was eating a delicious fried shrimp lunch on the Apalachicola River at Up the Creek’s restaurant. We loved so much of this island’s beauty and wished we could have stayed longer. Def recommend staying here!!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the property. It’s extremely convenient, a great space, and can’t wait to visit again!

Property was clean and well kept. Fenced in was a great help as we could let the dogs out without concern for them getting loose. We had a blast!

My husband and I wanted to have a quiet few days of October beach weather with our dog, and this was perfect. With its casual, beachy feel and very private yard and deck, we were able to relax and recharge. The fenced yard was great for our dog as well. It's a short walk to the beach, which we did every day, with our beach chairs, pup, and books. The kitchen is the best stocked of any place we have ever stayed! We took long, daily walks with the dog, and everybody greets you and waves! A very friendly island, and we look forward to returning.

The cottage was cool. But the whole situation was disappointing. Florida was under a state of emergency due to the hurricane and we were super uncomfortable with coming down. I expressed this to the owner it seemed like they thought it wasn't a big deal. They did offer different dates for a stay but with schedules and time off it was not possible for us. After a long drive we arrived to a very dirty cottage. I ended up cleaning everything and washing the bed sheets. There was dog hair everywhere, pee on the toilet seat downstairs and the sink was covered in hair and toothpaste. They did give us a refund on the $150 cleaning fee, but the whole thing was disappointing. We ended up leaving early due to winds being high and the bridge possibly getting shut down. Overall just super stressful. We won't be back.

The wife, 2 sons, niece and dog as well as myself had a great time. Such a cozy and comfortable house. We like to cook, so we were happy with the well stocked kitchen. We will definitely be returning.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cottage.. but the one that most enjoyed it was my dog 😂 having a fenced in yard was awesome and he got to run around without worrying about being on a leash. The location is pretty great too as it's about 10 ish minutes from the beach. Thanks Glenn and Lawson for a relaxing week 😊

We enjoyed our stay so much! First time visiting SGI. House was very close to beach and private. We enjoyed sitting on deck with the nice breeze in the evenings. House has everything you will need!
