My wife and I stayed for a week for our Anniversary trip. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to get started, and for cooking when we stayed in. We loved the beach front location and can’t wait to return.

Just what the doctor ordered!
We made last minute reservations for a quick family getaway after my mother-n-law's funeral, and our escape to Abiding Place was wonderfully healing! It was such a bright, happy beach house and the location was perfect! We are planning on making it yearly trip! Thank you!!!

Bday trip
This property is exactly like the online pictures! Right on the beach and a short walking distance to most things on the island. The property was clean, stocked, and easily accessible. The chairs setting out on the deck were nice quality and made relaxing on the desk a pleasure. During our stay a light bulb was out and the property owners called to see if we needed it fixed. Overall a great place to spend a nice vacation. Will definitely be going back!

Great location, but not for the physically challenged!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a four-family reunion in 2 homes that were about 4 houses apart. Access to the beach was great! Beach equipment was delivered, as promised. Very nice beach decor. We loved having our dogs vacation with us. Narrow, steep steps were challenging for our older guests, as was access to the bathtub in the master bedroom. Property is in need of updating, especially the kitchen, grill, and master bathtub.

Great Stay On The Beach @ St. George
My wife and I enjoyed our brief stay. The house is “as advertised”…clean, nicely decorated and in good shape. It’s conveniently located near the center of the island. All in all very pleasant. A couple of relatively minor and easy to address issues: 1. We could not get the ice maker to stop making ice, so the freezer had to be emptied every couple of days. 2. The front door to the house does not seal shut so it whistles when the wind blows. 3. The Wif-Fi needs to be upgraded, even with just two of us and a few devices, it was hard to stream on movie. Nonetheless, this is a nice house and has a great location.

just ok
Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this house was fine. It seems like a lot of the row houses are not in great shape and haven't been very well maintained. I guess that's what you pay for. We found several bugs, the sheets had some fresh stains on them and the dishes were definitely not clean when we went to use them. the furniture was very uncomfortable but we spent most of the time outside. if you're looking for a place to spend lots of time on the beach it will do, but if you're looking for a really nice place to stay this place is just average.

We’ve stayed at this property before and loved it. Unfortunately we only got to stay two nights due to hurricane Helene, but the property was clean and we enjoyed the time we got to spend there. Hope to return soon.

Wonderful place!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed here for 5 days to celebrate our anniversary. The house is very well maintained and very clean. We lived that it was literally on the beach. Location was fantastic! It was on a quiet area of the beach, yet still very close to the bars, restaurants and shops. In fact we would be only a short 4 min walk on the beach from the Blue Parrot tiki bar, which we would go to daily. Try their “Sandblaster” frozen drink! Trust me you’ll thank me later! We even saw Dolphins daily while sitting on the sand or in the water right in front of our rental. We also saw sea turtles and a large Manta. It was truly a magical experience! St. George Island was rated the #1 beach in the U.S. and I definitely agree. The sand is like sugar and the water is clear with no rocks or seaweed. And you can walk out 50 yards and still be in only 4 or 5 feet of water. We absolutely love this place! In fact we have decided to make it an annual tradition for our Anniversaries.

Your own piece of paradise!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible beach house for a week, and it was an absolutely perfect getaway! The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with stunning ocean views. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and having direct access to the sandy shore just steps from the door.The house itself was immaculate and exceptionally clean. It was clear that the hosts put a lot of thought into ensuring the home was well-maintained and welcoming. Every detail was considered, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen that had everything we could have needed or wanted. Whether we were cooking a family meal, relaxing in the spacious living room, or enjoying a book on the deck, we felt right at home.The amenities were top-notch as well. We appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, ample towels and linens, and the variety of beach gear available for our use. The house also had plenty of space for our entire group to spread out and enjoy ourselves.One of our favorite parts of the stay was the breathtaking sunrises we watched every morning from the patio. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and the lighthouse, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration.Overall, this beach house exceeded all our expectations. It provided a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable beachside vacation!

Nicely decorated, furniture in good condition, and well-equipped kitchen. Only issue was toilet in master bedroom (lower level) sometimes took several tries to fully flush. But not enough of an issue to contact property management over it. Generally water pressure seemed low.
