My favorite place on the island

We choose this house for a lot of reasons: remodeled/wonderful, large/new pool that is waterside - and the fact that 4/5 bedrooms face the ocean We also 'must' be on east/west gorrie on the golf-cart route: this place is just far enough from town to be private but close enough to be easy to get to shopping/food. Lots of parking, large community kitchen place: we love the house I have stayed in a lot of St. George houses: this is my favorite

Fabulous Vacation home

The outside spaces at this home were top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck and the pool area. Furniture in the home was beautiful and appeared to be new. Thank you so much for a terrific vacation.

Loved St George Island

House was perfectly set up for our family and pets. The outdoor area was very nice. Having two sinks in the kitchen was great and allowed for quick cleanup after dinner. Beds were all very comfortable. Cleanliness could use some improvement.

Enjoyed our stay

This is a beautiful home in a fantastic location with great amenities - nice kitchen, comfortable beds, paved parking, private beach path, grass yard, hot tub, pool, covered pavilion, etc. WiFi was challenging when everyone was in the house particularly upstairs - hoping SGI WiFi continues to improve

Incredible House

We have stayed at many homes on the island over the years, and Valhalla is by far the best one yet! The home has everything you could possibly need during your stay. It was super clean and we loved having the fenced in grass backyard for the kids to play ball in. The pool area was large and well-positioned and private. The furniture was high-end and heavy grade quality. Comfortable beds and mattresses. We will absolutely be back!

Valhalla

Great to be just steps away from the beach! Pool was nice and we used it every day, several times a day! Cleaning crew came on our last day, but wish it had been earlier in our week. The deck furniture was awesome and we enjoyed sitting outside all week long. Loved the grass space for the small children to play in and enjoyed the small sandbox areas also. Great location on the island.

wonderful luxury house, nicer than competition

Wow: awesome house. 4 large bedrooms facing the water is rare - noone had to fight over what room looked over the water The fenced in/irrigated backyard was heaven for the dogs and wonderful for dog mommas who could let them out the door, and relax Plenty of Parking. Nice balconies and chairs and view, and pool. Pool is amazing It would be hard to choose any other property going forward, if this one is available Don't forget that you as a renter need to stay on East/West Gorrie so you can be on the golf cart path. Half the fun is renting a golf cart and putting around the island

Valhalla Family Vacation 2024

The house is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views both day and night. We loved the easy access to the beach especially for our grandchildren who are toddlers. The private pool was an added bonus and again proved to be very beneficial for splitting beach time and pool time for our little ones. We noticed that the owner appears to be in the process replacing the wood decking and updating it with Trex decking boards which will be a very nice addition once completed. As for dealing with Vacasa we had great communication from booking to checkout just like you would hope for with booking agency. Overall this is fantastic rental reasonably priced and we definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a layback semi- private beach experience. We are already planning on returning and looking forward to our 2025 family beach trip.

Great house, maintenance needs

The house was beautiful!!! Spacious and renovated, however, there were some small hiccups. When we arrived, there was a garbage can inside the house full of garbage and a dirty rag on that floor, no big deal. However, the bunk bed room had an icky chocolate look like stain, in not so many words, on the mattress cover. Also, by the end of ten first night we noticed the AC on the kitchen /bunk bed side was not uworking. They e

Valhalla – The Ultimate Beachfront Retreat on St. George Island!

Our stay at Valhalla was nothing short of amazing! This beautiful home truly lives up to its name, offering the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. The views are absolutely unbeatable – the house sits right on the beach, with a sprawling yard that makes you feel like you're in your own private paradise. The sound of the waves, the salty breeze, and the stunning sunsets made it hard to leave! Valhalla is a dream for families or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. While we didn’t have kids or a dog with us, it’s clear that the layout is ideal for both. The beach is just steps away, and the large, fully-fenced yard offers plenty of space to run around. The pool and hot tub were the perfect way to unwind after a day of sun and sand – we spent hours enjoying them! Inside, the house is spacious, modern, and impeccably designed. The rooms are generously sized, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The kitchen is a standout feature—open, airy, and fully stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal. We loved having the option to cook in and dine with a view of the beach. Whether you’re looking to enjoy quiet moments by the ocean or entertain family and friends, Valhalla has it all. We can't recommend this property enough and can't wait for our next visit. It’s the perfect spot to make lasting memories!

Nice location - house needs a lot of work

St George Island is very nice and the beach is beautiful. Tnis house has a very nice location on the beach. That being said the house is not well maintained and would probably never pass inspection. The appliances are old and fragile. The stope top has absolutely no venting and fumes accumulate in the house. Cubbard space leaves no room for food and the pantry has been turned into a storage closet full of mostly junk. There were some roaches in the house and the cleaning prior to arrival was minimal. The outside grill was non functional and was never repaired while we were there for 3 weeks despite our complaints. I could go on but all in all not a good experience

Fun times at SGI

This is our 15th trip with friends to SGI. We miss booking with RVP. Vacasa isn’t the same level of service. First, we couldn’t get into house until 6pm. Cleaners were still working when we pulled up at 4pm. No one let us know ahead of time. Had small kids and cold groceries in the car. Lots of gates - good if you have dogs or kids. Watch for dog poo in the grassy area. Hot tub isn’t covered from rain - you will get wet from deck above. There’s a golf cart and beach gear in closet under house. There’s beach towels and games/puzzles under the tv, also another game closet upstairs. Not a ton of fridge space and fridge froze many groceries. Ice maker present but not super effective, you’ll need to buy extra ice. Small drink fridge in laundry room upstairs. No whisk, measuring implements and minimal pots if you plan to cook. We didn’t have any insect issues. Some members of our party experienced allergy issues while there - perhaps bc of previous pets allowed. Decks do not provide any shade - we hung hammocks under the pavilion by pool which was nice. Need wasp sprays - we knocked down a few nests. Plenty of pool toys available. Pool and hot tub were clean during our stay. AC was very effective and seatings/beds were comfy! Great views of ocean. Two outdoor heaters if you’re there in winter.
