We had never been to St. George Island before. We decided to go on the recommendation of good friends. The house we rented was in the Plantation right on the beach. What we didn't know was the beach is very narrow and pretty steep so there's not a lot of room to walk, exercise, take the dogs out, and just relax. In addition, the "Red Tide" was out and we could not even sit on the deck as the smell was so bad and the Red Tide also hurt everyone's lungs to breath. The house was okay at best as it was not what it was advertised to be. For example, there were two, yes only two dish towels for the kitchen, no brush to help with dirty dishes, very little soap to use, the hot tub did not work, and overall the house was not clean. There were roaches every where. I do mean every where. They were climbing up and down the walls in broad day light. Would we do this again. No. We'll go back to the South Carolina beach where we've been going for many years.
