Wonderful little bungalow-

This small bungalow is wonderful for a couple. The location to the beach is terrific-just across the street. The property manager, Laura, is terrific! She responded to all of our requests very quickly and was able to bring us beach towels and chairs that were not provided in the unit.

Property was clean and great location. Excellent communication with the owner and property manager. The perfect place for our stay and will definitely book again. The only negative, if any, is that there was no TV in the bedrooms. Thanks!

Great location

Was nice having the beach right across the street. Just pick up your beach chair and go. The apartment was very clean and the linens on the bed, fresh and crisp. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our fresh seafood. The pool was an added bonus. Was nice to take a dip in after our morning walks.

October vacation

Property is in a great location. Easy access to the beach and fairly quiet! Price was on point. NO stairs is a big plus. The pool needs some attention but nice to have at the end of the day on the beach. Laura the Property manager took good care of us and our needs. We would definitely stay thete again

This location was excellent, the beach was right across the street and a short walk over the dune boardwalk. The cottage was clean and bright. The kitchen was well supplied. The downtown area was just a 20 minute walk. The area was very quiet, not much traffic at all.

Beach Bum is one of the few smaller places in St George, perfect for 2-4 people. Steps away from the beach, refreshing pool, and very cute neighborhood. Good communication with the manager too.

Our stay was perfect. Not a huge house, but perfect size for what we were looking for. We spent more time across the street at the beach! So close and easy to set up our beach spot and come home for lunch, or a dip in the pool!! ♥️

Very low end property

The property sleeps four comfortably. However, in the living area, there is only one chair and a couch. Very awkward and inadequate seating for two couples. There is a common courtyard with picnic tables outside for each unit, but they are all crammed in the same area with nothing to separate them and no privacy an all. This would be ok if all four units were occupied by the same party, but makes the courtyard pretty useless, otherwise. The pool is pleasant, but there are no tables or shade in the area, so you can't really eat out there and there is no relief from the sun. It's a cheaper rental and it really shows. I would recommend spending a bit more for a nicer property.
