Great house - good location with a short walk to the beach. You don’t have a view of the beach from the house but it does overlook the pool area. The house kitchen is very well stocked (and labeled). It is the best stocked kitchen in terms of dishes and cookware of any home we have ever stayed in! Great set up for sleeping and visiting!

Family Tides is a nice, well equipped house. Definitely a better fit for dog owners since there is dog hair on furniture and even in washing machine. Plenty of space for our party of 9. Our only real issue was WiFi. No internet service for some device connections almost like there was a throttle. Problem was finally resolved on Tuesday evening. GCVP was very responsive to every issue we encountered. Had a really good experience with them after a very poor experience with a different rental agency 2 years ago. Resort Village pool is very convenient. Beach access is about a 3 minute walk and closest access requires walk up/down steps over sand dunes so plan beach gear accordingly.
This is our second year vacating on St George Island and the second time we’ve rented a house in the plantation. We’ve also rented many other beach houses on the gulf and on the Atlantic. Family Tides was one of the best houses we’ve ever rented. This house was very spacious and well equipped. Location was convenient, a quick ( 1 mile) from the gate house and while not beachfront, it was a quick and relatively easy walk to the beach. Access to the house was via key code and worked very well. The house has an elevator that goes to all levels which made day of arrival and departure much easier!The property manager was very responsive when things came up. What really made the difference with this house was how comfortable and well equipped this house was. Comfort - there were multiple sitting areas and family areas that were all comfortable places to hang out. There were plenty of games and puzzles to engage the whole family during evenings or a rainy day. Well equipped - this was the game changer. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. We brought many items with us that we’ve needed on previous vacations and a lot of it came back with us as this house already had it. The laundry room was stocked with plenty of clean beach/pool towels for guest use. This was a great rental experience from booking to departure. We will definitely look to book Family Tides again.

We rented this home for Spring Break to enjoy a vacation with our adult children and grandchildren. It was such a wonderful week on the island; great weather, quiet beach, breezy biking, good food and a fantastic rental home. Family Tides I was spotless and so well appointed, lots of light inside, an easy walk to the beach, with absolutely everything you need. GCV Properties were responsive and accommodating. Will totally rent again through them.
