Family trip to celebrate bday
This property is amazing!! We are a family of 5 with 3 mostly grown sons and a dog - there was plenty of room for everyone to relax either on their own or all together. House was extremely clean and well stocked in the kitchen. Having a pool was a definite plus, as was being to close to the beach. We love staying at The Plantation because all the extras are so convenient (Nick's Hole, fitness center, pool, bike/walking/running path, sunset viewing on west end, fishing spots) I would certainly stay here again! Only caution is for people who have trouble with stairs. We are all fit and in shape so it wasn't an issue, but I can see an elderly person having trouble (3 stories) with the main part of the house being on the 3rd floor. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Making memories
Our goal has always been that we make memories that our children and grandchildren will always remember
That they always want to keep spending time with us all and enjoy ever moment of it
Our youngest granddaughter turned one and being at the beach to share that precious moment will forever be with everyone that we share it together

Elopement Vacay
Everything was absolutely wonderful! The house was perfect for our family and friends to come stay with us for out elopement we had on the beach. The location and privacy is perfect. It's dog friendly, which was great for us bringing our great Dane and little dog. It does say it sleeps 14 but there are only enough before for 11, which thankfully we brought an air mattress so it wasn't a problem for us at all. The management group was always quick with responses as well. We frequent St George a few times a year at a family friends home, but after this stay we've already talked about coming back and renting this property again. Overall we had a wonderful experience.

Top Notch at Topsy Turkey!
We were welcomed to a well appointed and clean house. A few issues with the tv’s in the rooms but that was not a big deal. The pool was clean and fun. The walk to the beach was short. The houses at the Plantation are always nice.
