This past Labor Day week, our extended family of six (five adults and one child) stayed at The Plantation at St. George Island for the first time. While the location and amenities were fantastic, there were several areas where the house fell short.
Positives:
* Prime Location: The Plantation's beachfront location is unbeatable.
* Spacious Accommodations: The house was large enough to comfortably accommodate our group.
* Gated Community: The gated community offers a sense of security and provides miles of walking and biking trails.
* Amenities: Guests have access to two pools, a clubhouse, and tennis courts.
Negatives:
* Maintenance Issues: Upon arrival, we noticed dirty sofas and mold in the ceiling vent of the living room. In addition, one of the guest rooms had a dirty diaper and a strong odor of urine.
* Back Porch Condition: The back porch was spacious but poorly maintained, with rusty nails and a mildewy rug.
*Overall cleanliness could have been better with dusty shelves and garbage under beds from previous guests.
* HVAC Disruption: During our stay, unannounced HVAC maintenance caused a significant inconvenience by shutting off the air conditioning for over five hours.
While we enjoyed the Plantation's location and amenities, the maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns in the house were significant enough to deter us from staying there again. We would consider staying within the Plantation community in the future, but would choose a different property.
