Was just what we were looking for..mature tree shade, seclusion, privacy, space, outdoor living, fenced yard for dog, within walking distance to both gulf side and bayside beaches. Stores and restaurants on island very reasonable. We would stay at the Rosemary again!
Great house! We were on SGI for the Chili Festival and the house offered plenty of room for everyone. We also enjoyed not having neighbors on top of us. It was a short walk to the Gulf and the bay. Everyone enjoyed sitting under the house in the mornings and afternoons.Great place for a group of friends to hangout for a long weekend!
We come to St George every year. This was our first stay at the Rosemary. We were thrilled to have a fenced in yard for our pups! They enjoyed having freedom to explore and we enjoyed being able to let them out without having to walk them each time.
The house was clean and convenient. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We will difinitely be back and hope to book the Rosemary again!
Arrival was distressing...after 10 hours in the car we arrived to find the house had not been cleaned, there were no linens, etc. I contacted the property manager (Sam) who apologized and arrived within the hour to clean and sanitize and make beds, then returned the following day with extra linens and supplies.
Location is great; loved the fenced yard for our dogs and the easy access to both beach and bay. Kitchen is well equipped. Mattresses are brand new! The ROKU TV didn't work because we couldn't get the WiFi to work, but we didn't report it (because frankly we didn't care.) Sam was informed by text as we checked out.
In spite of the rocky start we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Good value.
My family and I had a great time staying at Rosemary. The access to kayaks was a great addition. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all, and I loved that it was in the woods. It gives it a treehouse feel. Overall, we had a great time.
Overall it was a great stay. The only problem was there were dishes left in the dishwasher and some of the ones in the cabinets looked dirty. I rewashed them but the problem is the dishwasher. It needs to be deep cleaned.

This home was a short walk to the beach and bay, which was perfect for my fishing trip. The property manager was great and even allowed us to move our vacation due to a work conflict. Home was clean and had a great yard with a fence for the dogs.
Nice, secluded house close to the bay. Sunset on bay was great. Good fresh food at friendly restaurants with good service. Loved the front porch and outdoor shower. We'll be back.
My third trip, also my longest trip, was awesome! I'll always stay here when visiting SGI.

Nice SGI location near the bay
Great location near the beach and very close to the bay. We rented bikes and a golf cart. Rode all over the island. Sammy, the property manager, is excellent. Very friendly and easy to contact. Would book again!!!
