We made last minute reservations for a quick family getaway after my mother-n-law's funeral, and our escape to Abiding Place was wonderfully healing! It was such a bright, happy beach house and the location was perfect! We are planning on making it yearly trip! Thank you!!!

Great Stay On The Beach @ St. George

My wife and I enjoyed our brief stay. The house is “as advertised”…clean, nicely decorated and in good shape. It’s conveniently located near the center of the island. All in all very pleasant. A couple of relatively minor and easy to address issues: 1. We could not get the ice maker to stop making ice, so the freezer had to be emptied every couple of days. 2. The front door to the house does not seal shut so it whistles when the wind blows. 3. The Wif-Fi needs to be upgraded, even with just two of us and a few devices, it was hard to stream on movie. Nonetheless, this is a nice house and has a great location.

Bday trip

This property is exactly like the online pictures! Right on the beach and a short walking distance to most things on the island. The property was clean, stocked, and easily accessible. The chairs setting out on the deck were nice quality and made relaxing on the desk a pleasure. During our stay a light bulb was out and the property owners called to see if we needed it fixed. Overall a great place to spend a nice vacation. Will definitely be going back!

Absolutely LOVED our time in St George

The rental was one of a few dozen adorable "pencil houses". The 3 levels of deck facing the ocean were an absolute treat! We loved that the rental was pet friendly and that the owners included a gate inside as well as a gate on the deck to help corral the pups. Our kids loved the beach gear that had been left by previous families. The location was fantastic and we truly enjoyed this beautiful island. Would absolutely recommend this location!

Convenient, fun getaway with the family and pup :)

Abiding Place is excellently positioned, looking directly at the beach with just a short stroll over it's own personal boardwalk to the sandy shores. It is also within walking distance to several restaurants and stores - once we arrived, we simply strolled around the island to go to dinner at all the dog-friendly restaurants. It is a three-level home, so beware those who struggle with stairs. The home was generally in good shape for being a rental on the beach, but everything felt just a little damp. That may be hard to avoid. We did have a couple of hard thunderstorms and one of the windows in the master bedroom (which we never opened) leaked a LOT of water. Just FYI if the owners see this! The kitchen and main level were very nice and well-stocked. The best things were - we got to bring our sweet pup to the beach for the first time, stay right on the water, and she played and ran like it was her happy place! We even got our two teens in on the action. That is all totally worth it :)

This is the perfect place with being steps away from the beach and a great view. Also it is a 5 minute walk to Sparks and Son Grocery store (highly recommend and nice folks). Also I would recommend Paddy’s Raw Bar which is also 10 minute walk. Everything is walking distance that you need at your stay. The townhome has plenty of room and very clean.
