Home was well furnished and kitchen was stocked well. The steps going to the gazebo had soft spots but they were large enough you could easily avoid them. Pool area was fabulous and even in a 25+ mph wind day we had a soft breeze. Location was excellent for us and easy walk to the beach. The path through the woods had standing water and was unusable but it it’s Spring. Fish cleaning are was very nice as was the private sitting area under the other side. We did not feel like we were in a rental and it was tastefully decorated and made us feel at home. We will be back again for sure!- Corey V from Ohio, Posted: 04/04/2022Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback! We look forward to seeing you on St. George Island again soon.

Snowbird Paradise
The Birdwatcher House was perfect for us northern snowbirds seeking a retreat from the cold winters of Ohio! Such a comfy and cozy house! Well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our month away from home. Comfortable beds, excellent water pressure, cute little gatherings areas all over the entire property. The short walk to the beach on the nature trail was so convenient and quaint. It truly has the feel of being in a very elevated tree house.

Coming back after 20 years
Our return to Birdwatcher - the first property we rented at SGI - after 20 years was perhaps our favorite. The things that made it special then are still here - the big room/kitchen, the views of trees with birds, even the little swing under the deck! Adding the Tiki-themed pool deck and refreshing the kitchen/flooring/decor really made it worthwhile. Sure, we had ask for some common kitchen items, but if that’s all, it was a great stay!- Mark R from Gainesville , Posted: 08/31/2023
Example: “Is the balcony screened in?” or “Is there a toaster oven?”
