Relaxing Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Horton cottage was in a great location. The deck was perfect for morning coffee with the sounds of the waves and watching the pelicans catch fish and the dolphins swimming by. The house was clean but could use a little updating. And minor repairs. But all in all in was a great stay. Would definitely come back to Horton House. M

Great location needs some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check-in process was easy and the staff was very helpful. The posting had limited pictures of the bathroom and the bedrooms. We assumed that the bedrooms would have closets but to our astonishment, they didn’t. The secondary bedroom didn’t have any storage other than a wire shelf hanging on the wall.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was clean and nice location. Kitchen is nice but could use a few more items. The out door shower is lacking. There were paving blocks on top of pallets that moved when you stepped on them causing a fall, so we didn’t use the shower the bath to beach is overgrown and very narrow making th walk to beach difficult. We enjoyed our time at the beach but probably wouldn’t rent this house again. Seems like they started a renovation and stopped.

All about the location!

We have stayed at a variety of VRBO's and understand that each property is unique and has their own quirks. Our first impression was a set of steep uneven stairs leading up the weathered exterior and we were a bit concerned for what would be inside, but it is definitely updated inside. The highlights for this stay is the location- steps to the beautiful beach, dolphins cruising by in the morning, sunsets! Beds were cozy, showers were good, larger than expected living space to sprawl in.This is managed by a company so the check in procedure involves visiting their office to check in during a 1-hour window (though we were called/emailed an hour before the check-in time and told our packet would be in the drop box for pick-up- which would have been nice to know earlier for a more relaxing drive in, but was fine). This is a property where they only provide starter supplies- 1 roll of TP/bathroom, 2 dishwasher pods, etc.- so plan accordingly or visit the very-well stocked Piggly Wiggly down the road.The kitchen had a decent variety of dishes and pots but there was not a trace of food to be found- no salt, no pepper- so again pack with care. A few more photos online would help people appreciate what this location offers- which is the location!

Week at Horton Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Weather near perfect, sunny and no rain. Horton Cottage was roomy, comfortable, furnished and cold ac. Week stay was Sunday to Sunday. Only problem: Cable TV reception failed on Thursday morning. Called Suncoast office and reported issue for three days. Problem was never fixed. Nice large screen TVs in each room were unusable. Overall, nice house and location, poor management by Suncoast.

Great house for the price

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 6 recently stayed at the Horton Cottage. After staying at another rental last summer in St George that was a couple rows back from the beach the location of Horton was great. It’s right on the beach and a very short walk to the sand. The beach was not busy at all at this location and we were probably not set up 75’or so to the next family. The driveway is plenty big enough for several vehicles. Although the interior is a little dated the house was very clean and had lots of room and everything you need to cook, etc. My only complaint and not a big deal was the outside furniture on the deck was not in good shape and a couple of the loungers were broken. If there were a couple taller chairs and maybe a table on the deck it would be great. It would allow you to see over the railings to the beach and enjoy your coffee outside in the mornings. I would absolutely stay here again though.

Forgotten Home on the Forgotten Coast

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this house cannot be beat. It’s a brief walk across the sand to get to the water. This is also the best quality of it by far. The house itself looks like it’s falling apart - from cracks in the ceiling to broken furniture and windows. One lamp was literally snapped in two. The outdoor shower is unusable as it does not have walls and the stairs sag and bounce at every step (and we aren’t huge humans). This property needs some serious maintenance and attention. They’ve refinished the kitchen area and part of one bathroom. We turned on one of the ceiling fans when we arrived and clumps of dust flew out of it for several minutes. The beach is great, so this rental would be tolerable if you didn’t need to stay inside much.

We had to evacuate one night for Hurricane Idalia, but SunCoast was so nice and let us stay an extra night at no cost or would’ve refunded us if we couldn’t come back!

Oceanfront home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house became our home for a week. The location is perfect. It was very comfortable for our party of seven , including five 18 year old men. The home was very clean, and well appointed. The kitchen appeared to be recently updated. The a.c.worked great in upper 90 degrees. The washing machine didn’t work when we arrived on Saturday, but the rental agency worked on that , and we had a new one by Wednesday. I love renting from the friendly folks at Suncoast , and will definitely return to the Horton Cottage Home.

Great Family Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Horton Cottage! House was nice and clean. Outside stairs could use a support brace(they're slightly wobbly) and deck chairs need to be replaced (the colorful chairs in the pictures have been re-painted grey, but they are all cracked or broken). We used our beach chairs to enjoy the deck, and this will not detour us from staying here again. We loved watching the dolphins from the house and the easy access to the beach was great for everyone. Everyone I interacted with from Suncoast was nice & friendly. Our family can't wait to be back next year! :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: SGI was amazing as always. Suncoast continues to be our choice based on the long standing and consistent service from their team. Horton, however, is in need of repair- roof leaks are evident with interior repairs done poorly. Deck railings need replaced; outside furniture at end of life.

Suncoast is an absolute joke!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The vacation house was great! It did have a small few things that could have been fixed but nothing that would hurt the trip. The issue I have with them is their cleaning company stole our chairs, cabana, and table. The worker Janice I spoke with on the day we left told me they stated they picked them up and would bring them right back. They never brought them back. Fast forward to today, I yet again called them. They have changed the story twice now and the cleaning company doesn’t have them? Don’t waste your money with this rental company. They will not help you, they will protect their own even if it costs you having to pay for all the items that their cleaners had no business picking up in the first place. Lesson learned! Will not use this rental company again.

Needs TLC!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Definitely adequate accommodations, beds were comfortable and of course a million dollar view! Had to remind myself of that when looking at it from the beach, it’s the most run down looking house in the area due to needing paint and a roof. It could have been better cleaned and the stove needs some work. Fridge kept everything nice and cold and the freezer worked well as well though!

Great location, nice house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week right on the beach in this rental. It was clean and it is apparent that the owners are in the process of fixing it up. As one of the older places on the beach it has only one flight of stairs. That was a distinct advantage for us.The kitchen has been remodeled and is lovely though not well equipped. We purchased a liquid measuring cup and left it for you. The beds were very comfortable. Bring blankets or warm pjs until Covid-19 is done. Also bring DVDs because they have been removed because of the virus. There are no closets or hangers, just a couple of hooks for hanging clothes so pack accordingly. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck morning, noon and night. We observed gulls, pelicans, dolphins, and sunrises. The gulf's white sand beaches are gorgeous.We would stay here again.

Great Beach, Home Could Use an Upgrade

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been to SGI many years in a row, unfortunately our "usual" house was grabbed up before we were able to book it this year. We selected Horton Cottage based on the photos and description but should have taken the reviews into account a bit more. The location is amazing, and really what we were there for. That being said, Horton Cottage is probably 40-50 years old and it shows. This property could definitely use a deep clean and bit of an upgrade. Outdoor furniture and steps were aging and splintering. Indoors was very dusty and we spent an hour sweeping and vacuuming when we checked in. Didn't feel comfortable using the fan in one room because of the thick dust sitting on the blades and its proximity to the top bunks where are kids were sleeping. There is definitely some regular maintenance needed to bring Horton Cottage up to where it could be. We would return for its location but will try other properties if possible for cleanliness and maintenance.
