Perfect little cottage for us; 2 bedroom 1 bath just short 4-5 min walk to the beach. They have a nice wagon and beach umbrella along with fishing supplies, a board and even water guns! Home kitchen nicely supplies with dishes and cookware. Outside has plenty of room for parking nice area to sit. This was our first time on St George and we plan to come back and book again at Papa Shack.

Great stay at the coastal cottage!

My family & I loved this place. The property feels secluded and private, yet it's a short walk to the beach and you can hear the waves crashing from the porch. The cottage living areas are spacious and open and had everything we needed to make meals at home if we wanted. Bedrooms were comfortable. All very clean and organized. We really loved this place!

Wonderful stay — peaceful, well-equipped, and perfect for our senior dogs!

We had a fantastic experience at the Papa Shack! It was just a short walk to the beach but felt private and quiet — the perfect mix. The home was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities like a washer and dryer.The host was incredibly communicative and made everything easy. We brought our two senior dogs for a special trip, and they had the best time exploring and relaxing. Truly a memorable stay — highly recommend!
