AMAZING VIEW! Fun, Pets Welcome, Steps from Beach

A Ruff Life is the quintessential Beach Cottage! Ruff features stunning ocean views, a fantastic deck, and is just 100 steps to the white sands of the Gulf. Its location in center island makes it the perfect place for families. After watching the dolphins from the deck or the soft sand, its an easy walk to the center of the island and all of the shops, restaurants, lighthouse, and activities St George Island has to offer.

Ruff Life, as the name suggests, is not only perfect for people but is pet friendly too! No reason to leave your fur family behind, Ruff has mats, flooring, and a gated deck so your furry friend can hang out with you before heading to the beach which is steps away!

Ruff features a well appointed kitchen, laundry, Wifi, Hi-definition TVs, DVDs, movies, and wireless speakers for streaming your favorite beach tunes. The open feeling and bright colors bring the beauty of this special island inside so even a rainy day is special. Take a quick walk to center island and pick up doughnuts, visit a restaurant or bar, or grab a souvenir or groceries. Walk home and enjoy wine on the deck as you watch the magnificent sunsets change the color of the ocean and sky. Ruff Life is the best of what St George Island has to offer--paradise.

There is plenty of room at Ruff Life with both a King and a Queen bedroom sharing the downstairs bath, and a loft featuring a full bath and 2 large twin daybeds with great ocean views.

*Ruff is pet friendly and allows (1) dog for a $75.00 non-refundable pet fee. If you have an additional pet please contact me and we can make it work. We also do a $300 refundable damage deposit

Amazing view of the gulf. Very nice setup in the house. Initially there was an issue with one of the televisions, but the host was able to rectify it within a few days. It really wasn't a problem however, because we were there to enjoy the clean air and beautiful views and spent the majority of our time out on the spacious deck. And the fact that it is a pet friendly rental made the trip that much more enjoyable with our chocolate lab, Annie We would definitely recommend this home.

Relaxing vacation

Staying at this house was very comfortable. The view from the porch was outstanding and we spent a lot of time there. The furniture in the house was comfortable and this included the bed. Management may want to update locks for the weather has taken a toll on them. This house did have beach supplies available but some were worn. This was a pleasant retreat to take our dog along.
