Fall Specials! Dog Friendly, 5 ⭐️ Reviews, Beach/Bay Views! Pool

September and October are great months to visit SGI!

Our 5-star reviews speak for themselves!! See why our guests love staying with us.

SERENITY SUNSET is a spacious, family-friendly beach retreat. With 5 bedrooms and 6 baths, there is plenty of room up to 14 family members. Located on the quiet, laid-back East End of St George Island, the house offers views of the Gulf of Mexico AND Apalachicola Bay which can be found from the large decks on every level of the home. This private beach of the Sunset gated community is adjacent to the Dr. Julian G. Bruce Island State Park, so it's a normal day to have the soft, sugar-sand beaches all to yourself. Bayside or beachside, Serenity Sunset offers unspoiled nature in the round, a magical experience your family will never forget. Located next to the community pool and 50 steps to the boardwalk to the beach, you've found the perfect Island getaway for members of all ages.

The elevated first floor includes 4 bedrooms. The two north-facing large king bedroom suites enjoy a full private bathroom, Smart TV, and direct access to a wonderful, furnished covered deck with expansive bay views. The south-facing bedroom includes two queen-sized beds, a Smart TV, a full bathroom with twin vanities, and direct access to the deck with Gulf views. Finally, there is a fun, nautical-themed bedroom which includes two sets of twin bunk beds and a private bath. This is a cheerful space the kids will love that includes a Smart TV and their own collection of kid-friendly books. This floor also conveniently includes a full-sized washer and dryer.

The expansive top floor features soaring ceilings, an inviting open kitchen, and a living and dining room for the family to relax and dine together. There is plenty of comfy seating and a new 65-inch Smart TV and fireplace in the main living area. The open concept kitchen allows you to cook gourmet meals, engage in conversation, play a board game or look out over the bay while enjoying the evening sunset! This home has been lovingly arranged to meet all your needs, with a fully-stocked kitchen, two sinks and dishwashers and a new stainless steel refrigerator perfect for entertaining large families. The dining table is large enough for 10 people plus additional seating for 5 at the kitchen island.

After dinner, walk out onto the large covered deck to watch the spectacular sunsets that are often the main show of the evening. This deck offers a breathtaking panorama of the bay where it is not unusual to see bald eagles, herons, and many other creatures who call paradise their home. The deck includes a large dining table for alfresco dining plus an additional seating area perfect for conversations and a glass of wine.

For your convenience, the elevator services all three floors and is perfect for carrying luggage and groceries up to each floor. Take the elevator downstairs, turn west and you'll find the community pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts, and an easy stroll to the boardwalk and beach. And while the east end of the barrier island is a haven for tranquility, you're not far from plenty of action: take your pick of sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, shelling, sunset/dolphin tours, boat rentals, and fishing tours. Landlubbers can take in museums, art galleries, and sample the flourishing restaurant scene, or just stretch out on the pristine beaches under the sun-scrubbed sky and take a well-deserved nap.

great way to end one year and start another
We loved out stay! Had a group of 5 adults and 6 teens and it was the perfect place to stay. We all loved the panoramic view of the bay from the main den and kitchen and porch. And great views of the ocean right out the front door! Beach walks down through the state park where it's nothing but sea and sand and dunes makes it the perfect location. The kids biked to town everyday and there was plenty of room for everyone. Epic time at an epic home!

Best Rental in Sunset beach
This was our 3rd stay in Sunset beach. We prefer it in the Spring because of the heated pool This was by far the nicest and best equipped home I have ever rented in 40-50 trips to St George island. Kitchen had everything imaginable in good repair and the beech chairs/cart/toys/Shabumi came in handy even though the walk to the beech is just across the street.

Southern Hospitality-the Best
This place is set up for a dream vacation! The owners thought of everything one would need. From an extremely well stocked kitchen (with everything a chef would need) to the nice array of games for both children and adults, to everything you will need to make the short walk to the beach the perfect day, this home has it all. The view of the bay is so relaxing and watching the sunset from the porch or on the beach will be the perfect ending to a perfect day. The communication with the owner was easy and always with a quick response. We would happily come back !

Perfect Stay at Serenity Sunset!
We had an absolutely perfect stay at Serenity Sunset! We’ve been coming to St George for 25 years and this is by far the nicest and most well appointed home we have ever rented. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, quiet, and well appointed. Beds were super comfy and the home is steps away from the beach and the community pool. Fantastic communication from the owner (including a very helpful online guidebook about the property and surrounding area) and check in was a breeze. Really excellent WiFi. We loved being next to the state park. Loved this home!!

Absolutely wonderful home - highly recommend
We have been coming to St. George for over 25 years and this is by far the most thoughtfully prepared home we've rented. The home is stocked with everything you could want on a beach vacation - beach chairs, shade, toys, beach cart, etc. The coffee bar is amazing and appreciated by all. Michele is amazing to work with and so kind! I feel like I've made a new friend who is as excited about my vacation as I am! The check-in app is so handy and easy to use; full of useful information. And the location of the house is perfect. The East End is my favorite part of the island and this home has spectacular bay views and sunsets, is located right next to the swimming pool, and across from the beach walkover. Highly recommend - especially for large family groups like ours!

Absolutely beautiful!
This is a lovely home with expansive views of the bay out back and easy access to the beach and the pool. Each bedroom has been meticulously decorated, with each room having its own ensuite bathroom. Large, spacious decks out back have been thoughtfully furnished with chairs, tables, and a swing to maximize viewing of the bay. The kitchen is very well-appointed, adjoined to a large open living and dining space. The host's attention to details, such as the coffee bar, were a very nice touch as well. Having beach towels and beach equipment supplied was such a bonus! The host was very responsive, and cared that we had all that we needed, answering our questions promptly, and ensuring that all was good. I have been coming to the East End of St. George Island for many years each summer. This was, by far, the best and most beautiful place that I have ever stayed. We hope to return back next year!

My whole family, grandparents to 1 year old twins, had a truly memorable and wonderful stay. We found the property to be clean, well stocked and in the absolute best location we could have hoped for!
