We stayed in this home for 2 weeks and we enjoyed the home very much, it was spacious, clean and well equipped. The pool was very clean as well. Sheryl, the property mgr., was super nice. We brought our 2 little dogs and we all enjoyed hanging on the large porch. We made sure to keep them quiet (with bark collars) to not disturb the neighbors. We could only see a tiny bit of the ocean but we could hear the waves from the porch which was a bonus. We really enjoyed early morning dog walks on the beach and afternoon walks in the neighborhood. All in all, it was a peaceful and fun 2 weeks. We will be back to SGI for sure. ##### Claudia R. Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine K.

After a series of beachfront rentals, we opted for Sea Gem this time, which is Tier 1\. The house was very clean, kitchen well-stocked with a variety of pots/pans, dishes, and even spices! The property is well-laid out with nice bedrooms and only a couple of steps from the beach walk. While we didn’t use the pool at all, it was clean and inviting. Sheryl was wonderful and very responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property! ##### Catherine K. Stayed 14 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah M. May 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Getaway Sea Gem worked out perfectly for our family. The location was perfect. Everyone was very comfortable, we had plenty of room. The pool was extremely private and couldn’t have been better for relaxing and swimming and the kids loved the less sandy option for the toddler. The street was private and quiet, yet right across the way was a boardwalk path to the beach, a very short walk. Sheryl was quick to answer any questions. Our evenings ended with rocking in the chairs on the porch and planning our next visit. Sea Gem helped make this trip full of great memories which was exactly what I was hoping for! ##### Deborah M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Seth H. May 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dangerous upstairs banister Home and location are great. Only problem with the home is the banister on the second floor. The width between the spindles are very far apart. My 2 year old son actually fell between them and landed on the hard wood floors(from the second story). After $6,000 in medical bills, I would never rent this home with small children unless that has been taken care of. Otherwise the home was great. ##### Seth H.

"Sea Gem" was indeed a "gem." The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the heated pool daily and enjoyed only being a short step away from what felt like our private beach. Located within the gated Plantation community, we enjoyed the landscaped grounds, access to bicycle paths, and other community amenities. Though we ventured out to other parts of the island and nearby mainland communities, we were on the island for quality family time in a peaceful setting. Sea Gem checked all the boxes. Also, Sheryl (the homeowner) is also a "gem"--she responded quickly to any questions we had and was genuinely interested in making sure our visit to her property and the island went smoothly. Overall, this was a 5+ vacation home. ##### Barbara Y. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric D. May 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect property, location, and host My family has been vacationing on St. George Island for the better part of 20 years, with all but a couple visits not on The Plantation. We can't say enough about how much we've loved our time on the island over the years including fishing, kayaking, biking, running, swimming, and just general hanging on the beach. This is our definition of a beach paradise that allows us to bring our pups on the beach with responsible pet parents to boot, i.e., no compromising beach cleanliness, beauty, or general love of fur kids on the beach. Now, regarding the house: Sheryl has truly made a little beach paradise oasis all but a hop, skip, and jump from the beach. All the amenities you could ask for on the beach including kayaks, bikes, pool, and general beautiful setting and home. Location and property was not only as advertised but even better than expected. Highly recommended and two paws up from Pants, our 12 y/o Yellow Lab! ##### Eric D. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna F. Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property was just perfect for a relaxing vacation. Just steps away from the ocean, and with a lovely pool to relax after spending the afternoon on the beach was just what we needed. The location in Plantation was ideal for walking our dog too. This was a great find for us and would definitely like to return. Communication from the host was perfect and check in easy! ##### Lorna F.

Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home is stocked with plenty of pots and pans to cook with as well as lots of spices. We really enjoyed the pool. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around. Very short walk to the beach. The property owner is very sweet and informative on any information regarding the island or events going on. Would highly recommend booking this home for your vacation. ##### Misty E.
