"The beach is the only thing that makes the place worth it, floors are filthy bathrooms not cleaned. Specially bathroom floor looked like it had never been cleaned. Stove didn’t work was not able to cook in it after buying food to cook had to eat out."

"Needs some repair and restoration. "

"Tucked away along Florida’s quiet Forgotten Coast, this rustic beach house feels like a place time decided to treat gently rather than change. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm that’s hard to find in more crowded coastal spots. The house itself has a weathered charm—natural wood finishes, breezy wrap around decks, and just enough creak in the floorboards to remind you that it’s full of stories.What really stands out is how effortlessly it connects you to the surroundings. Mornings start with coffee and the sound of waves rolling in, afternoons drift by with salty air and wide-open skies, and sunsets seem to stretch on forever in soft shades of orange and pink. It’s not polished or over-designed—and that’s exactly the appeal. Everything feels authentic, simple, and welcoming.Inside, the space is cozy without being cramped, with thoughtful touches that make it easy to settle in. Big windows let in plenty of natural light, and the laid-back décor perfectly matches the slow pace of the area. Outside, the proximity to the beach makes it ideal for spontaneous walks, shell hunting, or just sitting and listening to the Gulf.If you’re looking for luxury in the traditional sense, this might not be it—but if you want peace, character, and a true escape from the busy world, this rustic beach house delivers in the best possible way. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return."

"We found the property to be well maintained and convenient to all the island has to offer. We travel with our dog and the property worked well for her. We hope to stay again next year."

"Despite the crazy wind all week we enjoyed our first trip to SGI. The cottages are in a great location. We loved staying there. The only negatives were that the shared wall is very thin and we could hear conversations through the wall. We had 2 nights where my daughter couldn’t sleep because there were 2 little kids next door screaming and banging around all night. The cottage could use some fixing up a little too. There is space around the doors and our first night there someone was using the grill and the smoke was blowing right into the bedroom under the door. We still enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again one day. "

"The place was very clean and comfortable!! I loved the dock and the BEAUTIFUL views!!! The hosts were easy to get a hold of, attentive and nice!! Just over a block from beach access! I really enjoyed my stay and looking forward to coming back!! "

"It was as described and was a wonderful place to stay!Heather was a great host! we cooked alot and we wonder why there is never a crockpot or slow cooker in any of the properties we have rented over the years? We have rented through vrbo many places and this is by far the best we have ever encountered! OB our German Shorthair dog was equally impressed!! Thanks Heather!! "
