Great Time
Just a wonderful week. The weather was great, the home was as advertized. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Everything was super clean. Buck provided what we needed to make the week hectic free. I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a great place for a great time.

Perfect beach house for our family.
Great beach house. Well equipped, clean, easy to do business with the owner. Also, the fish seem to be biting right off the beach! Relaxing family time. Thanks!

Wonderful stay!
This house is perfectly situated on the beach and our family of 4 had a lovely time relaxing at SGI! We loved watching the dolphins, and our kids play, right from the porch! It was a short, pretty ride to the pool. Great location in the plantation. We had a great week! Thank you for hosting us!

A great family getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked with everything you would need to feel at home. Liked that beach chairs and umbrellas were even provided. It was great walking from the house directly to an almost private beach. We loved hunting for shells!

Year 2 at Gulfside
We stayed here last year as well and again we were satisfied with the property and location. We had the opportunity to do some more exploring of the Plantation area and with the home being centrally located within the community it allowed us to take off in any direction. You can’t beat the privacy and the Gulf being pretty much in your backyard!

Family Vacation
We loved this property. Steps from the beach and large deck for stargazing. Kitchen was very well stocked. Sea turtles nested on both sides of the house. It was an awesome vacation. Looking forward to staying at this property again.

Relaxing Beach Getaway
We had a family group of ten and we were very comfortable in this house. Buck, the host, was very responsive to our needs and made the process very easy. The beach is just steps away from the porch and beautiful. We were very pleased with our decision to stay in this house. Thanks, Buck.

Great location and good set up for two families
It is an older home in the Plantation section of SGI but the owner has been working on updating it. Walk down the deck to the beach which has very few people on it typically. Nicely separated bedrooms with a great space in the middle making it perfect for two families.

Pleasant Return
Updated flooring , new washer and dryer moved upstairs and new bathroom sinks with cabinets have added to the enjoyment of Gulfside Oaks we are return visitors for the third year and booked next year. Owners feel like friends and sincerely respond to requests and concerns. Many fond memories.

Gulf Oaks
Our family really enjoyed this property and our time on SGI. Fantastic space to relax and have fun on the beach, just steps from the house. Even though we had a lightning storm that knocked out the internet, Buck was responsive and went out of his way to fix the problem. Great customer service. Thank you.

Great location!!! If the owner would like further feedback we would love to chat with them. But not the rental people. Thanks.

Trip to Gulfside
Overall highly satisfied with this property and the property manager. Great views of the Gulf and the outside vegetation gives you the feel of your own little private paradise. Though the outside of the house is dated, the open feel of the interior along with the updates to the inside more than make up for it. The view out the two large back sliding glass doors are nothing short of amazing. Property location was great as well, far enough away from the center of the island so it is very quiet, but also close enough that trips to restaurants and stores are not too far. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

awesome property
Awesome property with a great beach. the only complaint we had was the condition of the deck. We spent a lot of time on the beach, but mornings and evenings were spent on the deck. The deck needs replaced, plain and simple! There were 7of us, and at some point we all got splinters from the weathered wood on the deck.

Great Location - Great for Relaxed Family Vacation
Like other reviews have mentioned, the house does need a little TLC. Chipping ceiling paint and on some walls. With that being said, the house was very clean and comfortable. The views were beautiful. There wasn't anyone staying in either of the houses to the left and right of us so we had the whole beach to ourselves. We played pickleball every morning and met some of the neighborhood locals. All who were super nice. The pickle ball courts were under construction so they had one of the tennis courts converted which wasn't a big deal to us. The courts were a nice 2.5 mile bike ride which we made using the bike trails so we could gawk at the beautiful houses in the neighborhood. We had a loggerhead lay her eggs in the dunes right in front of the house so we got to speak to the turtle volunteers which was a bonus. There were beach chairs and toys for kids. They house had everything we needed. We had no issues and would definitely stay here again!

Great Location and Layout, Needs TLC
House has a great layout and is in a really nice location on the beach / in the plantation. The owner is communicative and helpful and the price seemed good. However, the house has been 'ridden hard' and is below the standard that one should expect at this price point. Issues? Paint chipping and cracking, drywall falling off, shower head not working, fan in bedroom without bulbs and non functional, extra blankets dirty and smell like wet dog, sheets stained with coffee stains, washing machine loaded with mildew, stocked with bare minimum supplies (one roll paper towel, 3 garbage bags, 4 toilet paper rolls for a 1 week stay). There was surely some good, but renters should be aware of the 'bare minimum' approach to the property. There are so many basic things that could be done to make the stay more enjoyable.

Needs a lot of TLC!
We love staying inside the plantation. However, this is probably the most outdated house in the gates. The deck needs to be completely redone, we all have splinters from the deck floors, and railing. Picnic table on deck also had dried flaky wood, which will give splinters, so we couldn’t even use it. I understand that the sand dune to the left and right of beach against house can’t be touched, but the shrubs and plants growing on it could use a good cutting, bc you can only see the ocean from the direct middle, and absolutely no view of the ocean to the left and right sides. Sand dunes also kept the ocean from being seen from the bedrooms. There where several weak spots in the kitchen floors, bathroom ceiling vent in one bathroom was completely unattached from ceiling, flaking paint all around shower. I could go on.

Great Beach, Great Hosts
We had a great week at Gulfside Oaks. The house was just as described and the beach and ocean were even better. We cooked most nights and found the kitchen well equipped for all our needs. The house was comfortable and had all the amenities anyone would need, Including a good selection of umbrellas and beach chairs in the storage room downstairs. The best part of this trip, however, was definitely the beach and the view. We spent most of our time enjoying the ocean and watching dolphins pass back-and-forth just offshore. You could not ask for a better hosts! Early in the week I needed to get something delivered and Sammy offered to have it delivered to his office. We did have one night where one of the central AC units went out, but we found a temporary fix and Sammy had someone out the next morning to check everything out. A big thanks to Buck and Sammy. I dropped my wireless earbuds in the driveway on our way out. Buck found them, and Sammy offered to mail them back. Above and beyond!
