Island Vibe, BEACHFRONT condo, Sleeps up to 6 w/ Community Pool

Welcome to Island Vibe!

This 2BR/2BA BEACHFRONT condo (Villa H-5) is ideally located within walking distance to shops, restaurants and Lighthouse Park!

The living area is bright and beachy with comfortable furnishings, flat screen TV, VCR/DVD player and CD stereo, and opens onto a furnished beachfront deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Just past the living room is a large dining table for up to 6 with additional seating at the breakfast bar. The well-equipped kitchen with Gulf views has all standard appliances and a balcony overlooking the parking area.

Upstairs is a beachfront master bedroom with King bed, beachfront balcony, TV, DVD/VCR and private bathroom with combination tub/shower. Across the hall, a second bedroom offers 2 double beds and a TV. A bathroom with combination tub/shower and laundry center is located just outside of this bedroom.

Tile floors throughout the main living space with carpeted bedrooms, there are 12 stairs to reach the main living area and another 12 stairs to reach the bedroom/bathroom level.

The Villas of St. George complex has 42 units. The community offers use of a large community swimming pool with outdoor shower, park-style charcoal grilling area, fish cleaning station and beach boardwalk. Centrally located, you will have easy access to the center of St. George Island where area businesses and restaurants are located! The Villas of St. George Island was constructed in the 1980's, and while it is a treasured piece of St. George Island history, the older architecture results in more narrow stairwells than modern day condominiums, so please plan accordingly. Be sure to view our 3D Virtual Tour!

Parking is available for up to 2 vehicle parking only (parking passes provided); boats, trailers and RVs are not allowed. Please note, parking is not assigned.

Can’t wait to come back.
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was extremely clean, and well stocked with everything needed to cook a meal. Communication with management was excellent. Our stay was delayed because of a mandatory evacuation of the island due to a storm; the management team communicated with us through out the delay. Everyone in my family had a great time.

Island Vibe
We were delighted with our stay at Island Vibe on SGI. The location is perfect, everything you need is walkable or bike-able, the condo is steps away from the ocean. The master suite faces the ocean with a private balcony, we slept with the sounds of the waves every night. The main floor also has a balcony. The condo was clean and had all the basic amenities, we were even able to check-in early! The area was quite and perfect for family or a private get-away, we would definitely return!

This is an older condo unit, but it had been updated nicely. Well stocked with kitchen accessories etc. appliances seemed new. Beware of the stairs though there are two sets and they are steep. I’m sure the description mentioned them, I just missed it The view is amazing and great proximity to grocery store, cafes etc

Wonderful Beach Front Villas
We actually stayed in A-3 because H-5 was being remodeled. The communication was wonderful with Forgotten Shores and the owner of A-3 was helpful and welcoming. Great communication all around. The Villas have been newly painted with new spacious balconies. Close to the ocean and very relaxing. Our unit was very clean and comfortable. Close walk to restaurants. As a perk, we got free bike rentals through VaKay.

Very nice place. The tile floors and baseboards need a deep cleaning as does the top of the refrigerator. All in all though, we had a great time and the beach was fantastic. This county does need to start recycling. We were amazed that they aren’t doing so!!

Girls Beach Trip!
We enjoyed our visit to SGI! I've not been in a few years! The condo location is very convenient and beach front is always wonderful! The condo is within walking distance or a quick bike ride of several places. The beach is steps away. Sunrise and sunset can be enjoyed from the balcony! We are older and the stairs to access this condo were a challenge plus all of the bedrooms and baths are upstairs. The beds are comfortable, but the main room furniture not so much. All in all, everything is better at the beach!

Was pleased with the rental overall.
Easy to find, staff was very helpful. Small problems like stopped up plumbing, remote for DVD player didn’t work, had to request a new blender. But staff was there almost immediately to fix the plumbing and even brought us a brand new blender. View was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again.

Very clean unit & had everything we needed. As others have mentioned, the stairs got old by the end of the week. Especially since there is not a bathroom in the main floor. Also the unit does not have ceiling fans. We bought a little fan for the bedroom.

Nice and close to the beach!
We had a nice spring break at the "Island Beach Vibe". The condo is nice and close to the Gulf, which we really appreciated when we were carrying our beach gear down to the beach. The condo is within a 5-10 minute walk to pretty much any restaurant on the island, which we took advantage of. We've never been to SGI until this trip, and it was nice and relaxing and not crowded at all, which was what we were looking for. The parking lot was crowded but we always had a spot fairly close to our rental, and we took advantage of the coupon for the beach gear rentals. This unit had two beach chairs that we would not have rented from the beach gear, had we known it was available. We are a family of 5 and our girls each wanted their own bed, rather than snuggling up on a full sized bed, since they are full grown teenagers. We packed up an air mattress and one of our girls stayed in the living room and deflated her bed every morning. We had some rainy weather and explored the other areas of the island and off the island, but at night when it was tv time, we had a bit of trouble figuring out the multiple remote/cable situation. A memo on how to get to normal tv would be helpful for sure! If you want beach towels, the management has those available if you ask. We just bought some at the gift shop for souvenirs. The king bed is definitely soft, so if you are in need of a firm mattress, you'll definitely want to look elsewhere, as these are not firm in any shape or form. There is an apartment size washer and dryer that is useful, and did the job. We had issues in the master bathroom with the hot water. I'm not sure why that bathroom does not get hot water, but the other bathroom shower seems to have the capability of getting hot water out of the faucets. We cooked only one night and a few breakfasts and made a birthday cake for one of our daughters, and the kitchen seemed adequately stocked with utensils and dishes and cookware. Because this condo was right on the beach, we really enjoyed our stay. Have we stayed in nicer, newer places, yes, but we weren't really there for the condo, we were there for the beach! As far as the pool goes at the condos, there were people laying out, but it does not seem like it is heated. We tested the waters, but our days were too cool for swimming other than jumpinging waves, but it seemed like a nice clean pool. We would come back again for sure!

Beautiful beachfront condi
Pros: amazing location Jamie was absolutely amazing and very attentive. The condo was very nice and comfortable. There’s a washer/dryer which is always helpful! We loved that there was a community pool. The only real cons is that it’s on 2 separate floors with really hard stairs. If I’d known I would have brought a baby gate.

Steps from the beach!
Loved the location, steps away from the beach & great views! Nice spacious living area and kitchen. We enjoyed being close to restaurants and shopping. The dolphins were a daily delight and even saw stingrays jumping. I'm not giving 5 stars for Cleanliness or Overall Rating because the upstairs carpet needs to go and the master bedroom mattress needs replacing. Also, the coffee maker was a challenge each morning, we never were able to make a pot without a mess on the counter. Not a fan of Keurig! Even with these complaints we would stay again, just hoping for a few updates.

Island Vibe at The Villas
Pluses: This is an excellent beachfront location, within a few blocks of restaurants and grocery stores. The condo is spacious and has terrific views from the two patios. I had several questions for the manager along the way, and did not ever wait long for their thorough and helpful answers. Minuses: The entry door was difficult to lock and unlock, which was a constant frustration. The key lockbox was difficult to open and close as well. Overall cleanliness was acceptable, but the glass-topped table had rings from drinks. One of the bathroom sinks did not drain properly. Side note about the credit for Vakay beach gear-this is not a daily setup/takedown service. Overall it was a great experience, and I would definitely stay there again.
