Private Pool 5BR Home w Elevator, Tesla Charger, Bay & Beach Access – Gated SGI

This house was a great fit for our family. It's situated perfectly between the beach and bay with a minimal walk. We love the screened in pool as well as it provides relief from being in the sun on the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and the extra fridge on the first level is nice. We had a couple of minor issues but they were dealt with quickly. Would recommend this property.

We loved this house. 5 adults and 5 children…it was perfect for us. A few glitches but nothing that troubled us a great deal. The main problem was the mosquitoes but that’s no one’s fault

We really enjoyed our stay at bay to beach house. It was everything and more that we needed. The host was very responsive when I reached out about an alert on the upstairs thermostat. It just showed the humidity in the house was high but the unit cooled without any problems. Dismissed the alert and it came back once then dismissed it again and it didn't come back. There was 11 of us staying 4 being children. We all were very comfortable in this gorgeous house. Not a far walk to the beach or the bay. An absolute great spot in between both. If your looking for a quite getaway then this place is a great find!!

Awesome house and location, but issues with the pool, elevator, TVs, and cleaning supplies!The good: The plantation community is super cool. It’s gated and has a totally different vibe (way more vegetation and privacy) than the rest of the island. The house was spacious (5 adults, 6 kids), had a great layout (great communal space), and was a super short walk to the beach or the bay. The beach was awesome! No one within 50 yards of our camp, and a great spot for small kids. TONS of sea shells and dolphins.The bad: We were near the end of the plantation, and a solid 15m from the DT of SGI. The pool heater did not work our entire stay, and the community pool wasn’t heated either. The elevator was broken our first 4 days. Several TVs didn’t work or were without remotes. We didn’t have a vacuum or broom when we arrived. The grill was pretty gnarly, which we cleaned ourselves. Had to chase updates from the host.Overall, it could have been a really great spot if everything worked as advertised, and if we had proactive and transparent communication from the host. We were led to believe the pool heater would be fixed before our arrival, and then every update pushed out the timeline from that point on. And we were not told about the elevator issues until our arrival day, which only happened because I called the host about the pool.Key VRBO learning: The second you learn of an issue with your rental, call VRBO. They’ll only help before or during your stay!

This was a great house and host. Short walk to the bay or the beach!

Wonderful vacation with kids, grandkids. The house is perfect for large family gathering.

Plenty of room to spread out and have privacy for 7 adults and 6 kids. Great location and only a short, maybe 5 minute, walk to the beach. Lots of trails scattered around to walk, run and bike on within yards of the house. House is part of a community on the island that doesn’t allow golf carts, which are a common thing on other parts of the island, so fyi. The pool area seemed pretty worn out, holes in the lounge chairs and tears in the pool screen. The water always seems very cloudy to me too. Still nice to have a pool to cool off in right there at the place though. Pool area seemed kind of neglected really. Raccoons were an issue too getting into the outside trash multiple different days. They eventually brought us an extra trash dumpster can but that was on our last full day there. We requested it within the first couple days of being there. Also had issues with a sink in the 3rd floor master bath not working. This was conveyed to the host the first day we were there. We were informed that this was known about and was planned to get repaired after we left. Kind of a bummer that we weren’t given a heads up on that. Also when we arrived at 4pm check in time the cleaners weren’t finished and were still there cleaning up the place. I get it that these things happen but wasn't ideal after driving all night. The response from the host wasn’t always very timely but she did usually eventually get back to us with concerns and questions we had during our stay.

The house is beautiful... That being said, it needs some repairs. The right-hand sink is turned off because the faucet will not shut off. The kitchen faucet needs to be anchored as it turns/moves when the spigot is moved from one sink to the other. Also found caterpillars in almost all of the beds which i understand that they are really plentiful at this point of the season.

We had our yearly family vacation in your beautiful home and it was amazing! We relaxed! Fishing was fun fun and long days at the beach were great. We traveled to the great fishing town of Appalachicola for terrific seafood and great shopping! I would love to go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful property. Plenty of parking. Short, 4 minute walk to the beach, or to the bay pier for fishing. Loved the gated Plantation community, clubhouse pool and fitness center. Only thing that could have been better was the AC struggled on the first floor. Hallway was cool where the thermostat is but the bedrooms were a little warm. To their credit, hosts were responsive on this and promised they’ll be working on correcting airflow for their next guests.

From the moment we arrived, knew a good time was in store. Everything was better than described. Our weather was excellent, and the house was better. Plenty of room, and lived the big table and all the couches.

It was a great location for the beach and bay. Adored the little town. The restaurants in town were great! The house was the perfect size for our family. The elevator was a bonus for my elderly in-laws. Would stay here again!!!

This is a beautiful beach and a lovely walk to it. If you rent here , you will experience an incredibly non commercial Fla. One Piggly Wiggly on the island and a few great seafood restaurants are all you need when you have the day to play on the beach and swim in the heated pool (extra to heat) if you go off season. This home is perfect for large family gatherings or gatherings with friends. There is an elevator as bedrooms are on the second and third floors, with main living quarters on the third.

Super clean, easy access to both the beach and the bay. Plenty of sleeping areas and bathrooms for two families or more. Listing has a hot tub, but it is located in the community pool area miles away. The door lock was broken on arrival, but the host was super easy to contact to gain access to the property with a spare key. I would stay here again.
