Our group of 14 had a wonderful stay at sandy shores. The house was beautiful, clean and accommodated us all so well. We loved the beautiful little nature path to the beach, the walking and biking trails were wonderful, and the pool provided so much fun.
The house was great. Elevator was helpful for unloading everything. Pool was heated and covered. A walk to the beach, but an easy path, then a boardwalk. We would definitely stay there again.
This was our second stay at this property. Property was clean and well maintained, and we had plenty of room. Host was easy to reach and promptly replied to our inquiries. Will stay here again on our next visit to SGI.
Had a great stay at Sandy Shores. The house is just a short walk to the beach via a path right beside the property. The covered pool is nice on sunny days. Very secluded and quiet area.
We had a great time here. The house had everything we needed. Walk to the beach was a nice sandy path right next to the house. Lots of things to do in the state park at the other end of the island too. Kids went swimming on the bay side on windy days.
We gathered with families (plus friends) and enjoyed the pool, proximity to beach, many different activities to enjoy while at Sandy Shores!
The house is beautiful and accommodated us well. Felt like a piece of heaven.
Our hostess was very responsive to our contacts.
Love to visit again!!
Three brothers and a sister and spouses - plus a son-in law and 2 grandsons - got together to enjoy some fishing and relaxing. The great room and huge decks provided plenty of space for catching up. Easy walk to the beach. We'll be back.
We had a great time. The house was wonderful. The elevator was very useful for taking luggage up. We used the pool everyday. The place was perfect for our family of 13. We had no need to contact Laura because everything was in complete working order.
This home has everything to make a beach stay great! Clean, so well designed with each bedroom having its own bath, well-stocked kitchen, decks, porches, and a delightful heated pool! Owner was VERY quick to respond to any questions. We were a group of adults 65+, and the elevator was a great asset! Many of us started making plans to bring our families back to this home.
We were super comfortable in the house. The house is well laid out, and each room has its own bathroom. The kitchen, dining and living room are large and fit our group of 11 people comfortably. We spent lots of time on the screened-in porch. The pool is lovely- large and so perfect after the beach. Everything was clean and as described.
This house is in a private community of a beauitful island. St. George is pretty remote and being in a private community, we practically had the beach to ourselves. The beach is just a short walk away, and we were able to leave our beach chairs folded near the boardwalk so didnt have to carry them each day. At the beach we saw pelicans, dolphins, and starfish! Waters were pretty calm most of our stay- great for kids. We also rented a pontoon boat for the day one day and went fishing.
We would absolutely come back to this house. Great host, great experience.
We had an amazing family vacation! The location is perfect - private, close to the beach with lovely trails nearby. We also had lots of fun in the pool.
It is the perfect mix of privacy and beach vibes. It felt like we were in a tree house and within a few shots steps we were on the beach. House had everything we needed to feel at home. We stocked the fridge and didn't leave for 4 days.
We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren from the parade to lots of time on the beach. The grandkids loved their bunk room and the pool.

Sandy Shores was perfect for our family of 12! I was, at first, disappointed that we were not right on the beach, but it was a short walk. The grands and great grands loved the 4th floor set up and the elevator was a must for my husband. The house was well appointed and we had everything we needed for our stay

Nice place, great location but…
We had a great stay, nice roomy house but the place needs some attention. We do recommend it, but just sayin it could be better.
Response from mgmt service was prompt, but did not address the issues that we experienced "DURING" our stay. One of our party was on crutches, the elevator was not functional, and nothing was done during our stay to remedy this very important issue.

So much potential but needs maintenance
The property needs a lot of attention and maintenance in every floor. We found ourselves making compromises in many ways to make the property work. We didn’t use the balconies because the hand rails had cracks and felt very unsafe to allow our kids around the space. The bathroom in the bunk bed room had the shower roof caving in. Overall the property needs major renovations
Sandy Shores provided a perfect getaway for a family gathering over Thanksgiving. We chose the Big Bend region because the travel time was about the same for relatives coming from the NC coast, southwestern LA, and eastern TN. We selected St. George Island for its peace and tranquility. We picked this home for its spacious floor plan, proximity to the beach, and relative privacy.
The layout of the home and its five bedrooms (each with its own full bathroom) was ideal for our group of three couples, two young children, and a toddler. Even when we were all in the great room, it never felt crowded. The elevator is very handy for those with mobility issues, and it was a huge help moving luggage to the bedrooms and groceries to the kitchen.
The sandy path to the beach is only a couple of football fields long, and most of that can be walked barefoot. If you are a tenderfoot like me, sandals are helpful for cross the gravel driveway to the trail. In the other direction, it is only a 10-minute walk along a paved trail to the Egret Pond. Longer strolls or bike rides open opportunities to visit a variety of natural settings, including beaches, woodlands, and marshes. In hindsight, we should have brought a couple of kayaks, although there are local rental options too.
Although we did not use it during our stay, the pool was well maintained. The nearby shower and toilet add a bonus for those using the pool. As others have mentioned, Laura Davis was excellent at checking in with us and responding to any questions or concerns.
We will certainly stay here again if the opportunity arises.
