FREE Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!

There's no two ways about it. You and St. George Island are just meant to be!

Welcome to SOL MATE, a freshly re-decorated 4BR/4.5BA charming first tier beach beauty! Located within easy walking distance to the Island center and with direct beach access just a few steps across the street, SOL MATE is the perfect match for your next family beach vacation!

As you enter this one-level home, you are welcomed onto an open floor plan with a spacious living area, fully stocked kitchen and dining area with bar. The Gulf front living room is a comfortable gathering place for the family to prepare for the days beach activities while overlooking the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This room boasts an impressive 70" flat screen TV with blu-ray player and surround sound. An extensive movie library is available for any rainy days and a Queen sleeper sofa offers additional sleeping space for up to 2.

The kitchen has been equipped with brand-new stainless appliances, has a dedicated pantry closet and an Island/breakfast bar which makes meal prep easy and convenient. 3 bar stools provide additional seating while the large dining table comfortably seats up to 8. A separate bar with wine cooler also doubles as a coffee station with Keurig for quick and easy morning wake-ups.

And what better way to greet the day by enjoying a cup of coffee on the Gulf front deck! With plenty of space to soak up the sunshine or to relax in the shade, you will find yourself spending many mornings here watching the dolphins swim by or counting the seemingly endless stars at night. Don't forget to bring flashlights for the nightly round-up of ghost crabs along the shoreline!

A split-bedroom layout allows ample space and privacy for each bedroom. Two master suites are located Gulf front, with access to the Gulf front deck. Each of these King bedrooms enjoys a breathtaking view, a flat screen TV and a private bathroom with shower. A bunk bedroom is located off of the dining room and has access to a jack-n-jill bathroom with shower. The bunk bedroom also has a large flat screen TV w/ Playstation 3 game console so that the kids can relax in their own space. Bring your own games or enjoy ours! A third King bedroom is located just off of the kitchen and also has access to a private bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a flat screen TV. All beds have brand-new mattresses for a restful night's sleep.

The laundry room is located on the ground level and is accessible from the parking area. This room houses a full size washer and dryer as well as a convenient 1/2 bath. With plenty of under-house parking, this area also doubles as a cool and shaded space for the kids to play out of the mid-day sun. A cozy double hammock, gas grill and hot/cold outdoor shower also add to the convenience and enjoyment of the space.

A 12x25 private swimming pool is ready for you and your family to enjoy. We also offer pool heat in the cooler months for a $400 + tax fee.

A sandy beach path is located across the street, just a few short steps East of the property via a public sand path (please note the sandy beach path directly across the street is private property). SOL MATE is also conveniently located within easy walking distance to the Island center, where local shops and restaurants can be found.

View of the water was great from the porch. Pool was nice but apparently the pump was not working. A breaker for the pump had blown. We were none the wiser and pool. We stay on St. George as much as we can and this was our best house so far. Location is great house is great! We will most definitely stay there again

Great location, nice home for family getaway

We had a great stay at Sol Mate! The location is convenient to beach access and the home is even more spacious than expected. We had everything we needed and more - extra beach gear, well equipped kitchen with plenty of pots/pans and utensils, outdoor grill and dining, spacious bedrooms, etc. Only critique to be aware of would be the bathrooms are a bit outdated. The pool was great for a break from the beach. A great house for family time!

Absolutely Wonderful

We just returned from a week stay at this beautiful property!! The pictures do not do it justice!! Everything was clean, spacious, lots of areas for our group of 11 to spend time together or be separated for down time! The location is perfect! Just steps to the beach and close enough to restaurants, ice cream, and the lighthouse to be able to walk! We had a couple of issues but the management was quick to respond and everything was taken care of in a very timely manner!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to St. George Island!

Great location and convenient to the Island City Center. The property was well stocked with utensils, etc. The property needs a really good deep cleaning. Several in our party had respiratory issues during the stay. Overall, we plan to give this place another try next year.

Great location! Beautiful views

Large open kitchen and family room. The only disappointment was the outdoor grill was old/rusted and didn't work. I called for service w/property manager, but they never responded. Given the size of our group and purpose of our visit this was definitely a bummer. First visit to St. George Island - very low key and family friendly. Loved the area.

A great week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week as a family on our first visit to SGI. This house was in a perfect location: we walked back and forth to the beach, walked to the restaurant, donuts, and playground/park. We used the path to walk, run, and ride bikes. There was a yard for the boys to play in, play baseball, etc. The beach was uncrowded - we could come set up all our wagon full of things with plenty of space at 8AM, 11AM, 2PM or in the evenings. We have never been to a beach where we were out early to save a spot. This was a wonderful, relaxing change of pace. The house had wonderful small touches that made it obvious this was someone's home, and they were proud of. The beds were comfortable; there were mini-splits to help keep everything and everyone cool; there were multiple places to rinse sand off your body or your toys/chairs; there was a downstairs bathroom; there was plenty of space in the living areas; and there was a wonderful small pool, perfect for the home. If I had to come up with something negative, the water pressure struggled to keep up when more than one person was showering or doing the dishes, which made for some difficult evenings with 10 people, but we managed. The dishwasher also struggled to clean the dishes, but we survived. :) We really had the very best time and can't wait to visit next year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have a large family and love spending a week every 2 years at St George Island. In the past each family has stayed in condos at The Villas but this year we included the Sol Mates house in our stay for 2 families. The kids were safe to roam around together and share time at the beach and condo pools. The house was a great addition where we shared and hosted a couple of meals and game nights. Such a blessing for our family to come together from all over the US.and enjoy time together.

Sol Mate

Property was comfortable and we enjoyed it. Some updates are needed, such as the cracked countertops, and bathroom fixtures. Several of the toilets need to be fixed, they didnt flush well. The ice maker didn't work due to water filter needing replacement. It was a wonderful location. A great week, even with these little things.

Perfect location!

We had a fantastic stay at Sol Mate. It is in the perfect location with the beach right across the street and walking distance to Blue Parrot. We had plenty of room for 3 couples and two teenagers. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the mornings for coffee and in the afternoons for cocktails. The pool was really an added bonus because we had some extremely hot days and needed to cool off. Property management called and checked in to make sure everything was okay after the first day or two, which was unexpected, but nice to know they were available if there were any issues. Be aware that the washer and dryer are under the house off the carport, so traveling up and down two sets of stairs is involved. However, this certainly was not a significant issue and I would highly recommend this rental house.

Beautiful house in a perfect location, walking distance to most shops and restaurants in the downtown area but secluded enough to feel private and right across the street from a beach access path. Lovely views from the front of the house; the large porch is a great addition. There is a ton of beach and pool stuff available. The hosts are extremely responsive by phone—when the front door lock malfunctioned they had staff there in less than 20 minutes—but not as fast to reply through VRBO’s messaging system. The rear bedrooms can get a little warm (there are mini splits in the front two rooms but not in the rear) and the water pressure is pretty low (one shower at a time) but neither of these really detracted much from a wonderful stay!! We hope to be back next year.

Great value, perfect location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was absolutely perfect. We were easily able to walk to the downtown restaurants, stores, and the lighthouse. Even though it was a central location, it was very peaceful and quiet and without much traffic. The beach path is just across the street which made it very convenient for everyone to come and go at their leisure. The house has very large windows on both ends, providing incredible views of the ocean from the front and of the rest of the island from the back side. The house was very spacious, and we appreciated having a separate bathroom for each bedroom. The bedrooms have very large windows with blinds and thick curtains. The kitchen was stocked adequately, however if you plan to do a lot of cooking, consider bringing your own specialty items (griddle, juicer, food processor etc.). The kitchen island is very big, so we had lots of prepping and serving space. There is plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen area. The small fridge in the coffee/bar area was extremely useful and it was very convenient to be able to set up a drink station in a separate area. The porch has plenty of seating space, a dining table and a very nice, large hammock. The pool area was nice and clean, and the pool was very well maintained, however it was rather small, especially for the size of the house and property. There is plenty of parking space and a large grassy area, where we were able to play volleyball. The downstairs bathroom was incredibly convenient and full of beach toys for us to use. The grill worked fine; however it is very small for a house that can house 12 people, and it could use replacing. The washer and dryer were a good size, and clean. A laundry basket would be a nice touch, since it is located in the basement. We had no maintenance issues during our stay. The only negative thing was that our trash cans were totally full when we arrived. Apparently, departure day is trash day, therefore, the cleaning crew should be in charge of putting out the
