Beach Bliss
The property was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Tom was very accommodating so that we could bring our two dogs who had a fantastic first beach trip. We all had a wonderful experience and would stay here again!

Everything was well maintained. LOTS of pots/pans/utensils etc - more than we have ever seen in another VRBO. Towels were plentiful. The location of this house is perfect. We enjoyed our stay and the peacefulness of St. George Island.

SGI Vacation
We loved this house! Our family, including our 2 dogs, stayed here and it was perfect for us! Plenty of room, loved the sunroom area, the deck was great to sit outside and watch the dolphins in the morning. That was my favorite! And we really got great use of the outdoor shower-that was a plus after spending time at the beach! The location was great and we would definitely stay here again!

Spent a tranquil week at the pristine Ruff Life. Perfect location to watch ocean waves roll in and the gulls circle from the deck. Clean, quiet and perfect little yellow house that was bright and spacious too. Lots to do. Check out the park at east end of island or the quaint history in downtown Apalachicola.

Spring Break 2024
We had a great week at Ruff Life. The house was clean and had all the things we needed. It is a bit out dated — but we thought it was charming, and that didn’t bother us because the beds were comfy, the location and the layout was perfect for our family. The view from the deck and sun room is amazing. It is just steps from the beach which was awesome! If we ever return to the island we would stay again at Ruff Life. The owner was available and very friendly to work with!

The Best Birthday Vacation
Myself, my adult kids, and their significant others immensely enjoyed my birthday week at Ruff Life. Although it’s not “oceanfront”, it may as well be. You can clearly see the ocean and hear the waves from the deck. We even saw dolphins a couple of different mornings while having our coffee out on the deck. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in the sun room. We cooked a lot too and the kitchen had everything you need for any meal you make. We truly enjoyed our time while there.

Ruff life stay
Great location and super easy access to beautiful/peaceful beach. The house could use some updating in the kitchen area cabinets/countertop and bathrooms. I had to tighten screws on doorknob leading to front outside deck beings it was almost falling off when we first arrived. The homeowner did have a bottle of champagne on table for our wedding anniversary waiting for us which my wife loved. Overall a nice quiet house just needs some updates.

Wonderfully Peaceful Stay
The pictures provided are spot on, the house was clean and the owners very friendly and accommodating. Our teenage son met a lot of new friends and our two dogs had a blast on the beach. The water was clear and calm our entire stay. We will definitely be returning to spend more time chilling out on that lovely deck with the ocean view!

Location!
Perfect location! Close enough to everything on the island that we wanted to do by walking or golf cart. My 12yo most enjoyed opening the windows in the sunroom and relaxing in the salty breeze. We were able to bring our 1yo pup along and she loved people watching from the balcony and going for golf cart rides. I was surprised at how pet friendly the island is. My husband shore fishes and found the outside sink very helpful for cleaning his catch. The rental had everything we needed and was the perfect location with beautiful views of the water.

Starting at check in, Tom and Sheryl, provided all the information we requested and more. Even a Happy Thanksgiving text! We found the place to be nicer than in the photos- we couldn’t believe how clean it was for being pet friendly. You can see views of the ocean from every room. The walk to the beach is short and the community loves pets!

Always apprehensive about pictures matching reality but this place is the real deal! First time traveling with our dog and were very happy to find such a wonderful place. The location is superb and great to be able to just easily walk back to get forgotten items or get the pup out of the heat. We all loved the house, the views, and the relaxing stay!

The house was just the perfect size and we enjoyed our stay! The location and views are unbeatable. Within walking distance of everything! A small glitch with an AC but the owners had taken care of it before we arrived and then followed up to make sure. We appreciated the personal attention! We'll be back on our next trip to SGI!

Summer ‘22 Ruff Life
Our stay was great. The house is small but our family of 5 (3 adult children) and a dog did just fine. This would not be a good place for those who need privacy. The outdoor showers was a plus! When I saw the tiny over/under washer-dryer, I was worried, but it was no problem. We jut had to keep laundry going constantly. Highly recommend Ruff Life.

Nice but…
The house is cozy and clean. The air conditioning in the sun room was out and unrepairable during our stay. The owners were very good about coming out to investigating the problem. The house needs updating but it is in a convenient location to all of St George and the beach!

This property is in a great location! Don't worry about it not being directly on the beach, it is such easy access it is worth saving the money to be a row back. The views are still amazing! I wish I would have know how golf cart friendly this community is and that they are easily available to rent. It looked like fun! I would definitely stay again - and rent a golf cart!
