Great weather for a Fall vacation. Son of a Sailor was a good choice. Just the right size for us and our two sons families. Clean and well kept. More than one request to stay another week. Too bad we couldn’t. This could be our new favorite place.
My wife and joined friends and famiy to celebrate her 60th birthday. The house is fantastic. Plenty of room for 8 adults and the location is perfect. We all agree we want to donit again.

Sun of a Sailor was perfect for us. Spacious and comfy. Deck furniture was great for meals and just relaxing with coffee and cocktails! Sunset Beach at St George is my favorite 🏝🐬 We couldn’t use our kayaks and paddle board because of the bra high surf.
Otherwise, our stay was perfection!!

Due to a repair issue we were switched to Sun of a Sailor. We were not disappointed. This is a lovely property with a fabulous kitchen. Everything was clean and well cared for. I mean we noticed little things here and there but for the most part it was awesome. Thank you
The property was beautiful, great porches and open room for family time. The beach was amazing, no one was out there. I e had a few friends on the beach, but it was paradise. Kitchen had to enough stock to just bring your favorites and you’re home. I wish we could all be together so much longer, but I loved it - had a beach wheelchair for my bad knee and sciatica. It was great, so I got in the ocean the first day!!

Beautiful beach house! Very clean, perfect location. Management was quick to respond to requests. Had not been to Saint George island for 20 years. We rented a boat for the day and went out to the end of the island beyond the state park. Saw dolphins and stingrays.
The property/house was amazing! My husband and I had our 4 kids and their significant others join us for family vacation. We had plenty of space and privacy for each couple. Kids all in their 20s. Beachfront views and pool were very nice. The kitchen table was long enough for all of us.would like to stay again sometime. There wasn’t much going on being in the offseason and weather wasn’t ideal but we still had a great time. 2large refrigerators was also a plus. One for food and one for drinks!

Serene, Fabulous Spot for the Whole Family
We absolutely loved our time at Son of a Sailor! The property had everything we could possibly need and more. Our kids LOVED the beautiful bunk room, and we had space to house our entire extended family comfortably. We utilized the pack n play as well, so it was so nice not to have to travel with it!
Our kids wanted to spend all of their time on the beach, and it was so nice to be able to walk straight out there. When the wind got intense for them, we walked over to the pool and continued the party in the heated pool. We loved exploring in town, and the kids adored the ice cream shop.
We seriously cannot say enough good things about this place. We have been reminiscing over our first trip to St. George Island and we will definitely be back! Also, this may not be important to many, but the washer/dryer worked so well- which we appreciate traveling with little kiddos (!). We're so appreciative of all of the details and touches throughout the home. Thank you!
