Our priorities for a SGI rental: 1. Location 2. Space/size 3. Decor
On the first two counts, this property is 5 star. It’s right on the beach and there’s nothing like flirting from the house to the beach. Magic! The house has three bedrooms on the main level surrounding a spacious common area with kitchen/dining. We did puzzles, played games, hung out: The space fit us well. Additionally, we cook a fair amount when on St George and the kitchen is sufficiently appointed to do so.
On the third count of decor we have to take away a star or three. This house is strange because while the space/bones of the house are good (a bit dated, nbd) and the furnishings are even nice-ish, the decor on the walls and knick knacks in the main room are wildly over the top! Gimmicky, beach-theme decor actually drips from the ceiling. The bedrooms are free from this treatment. If this property just removed 3/4th of the extraneous decor from the main room the rental would be lovely. It’s odd that it’s the removal of something that would improve this property drastically. I’m not fancy, but this was beyond.
About the downstairs: this space is fun! TV, ping pong, foosball, bunk beds. My kids (10,11) wanted to sleep down there alone. I was fine with it until bedtime, when I was literally locking them into the separate space and realized I wouldn’t hear even the loudest cry for help. Something to consider.
The deck needs some structural maintenance.
The owners were very responsive!
