Beautiful home and great location!

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: The layout of this house was perfect for us and was absolutely beautiful. I would have loved to have given it 5 stars BUT it has two dishwashers that simply don’t work well and we ended up having to wash the majority of the dishes by hand. Personally, I don’t like wash dishing at home especially not when I’m on vacation cooking for a big family.

Plenty of space, close to everything we needed in town, and the private boardwalk to the beach made us feel like it was our own private beach! The house was stocked with plenty of beach accessories, games, toiletries, and the welcome kit with the bag of goodies and spices was truly a nice touch. The rental company was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. This was the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in years and we can’t wait to go back!

Front Row Center AMAZING!

Everything we needed for our family vacation of 3 kiddos, 1 teen, 10 adults, and our two fur babies. Loved the convenience of two refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and of course, the elevator for luggage & groceries. The stocked kitchen was perfect for our nightly cooking dinners of fresh seafood. Thanks for an amazing week at Front Row Center!

Luxury and Relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Front Row Center was more than we could have dreamed it would be. The home was inviting, comfortable and very well maintained. Having 4 king suite bedrooms provided a private retreat for everyone at the end of each day. The beach was never crowded and the "Old Florida" vibe of the island provided a relaxing respite. We loved the options to enjoy the beach and pool (with all the beach chairs and toys included). The views from the beach and multiple decks were outstanding. Having a well-stocked kitchen and ample dining space, allowed us to enjoy family dinners when we didn't want to go out. The private boardwalk to the beach was convenient, well constructed and safe. We prefer the slower pace that SGI provides, compared to other busy commercialized vacation spots a couple hours north west of SGI, therefore, we will be driving to SGI in the future and skipping the "30A scene."

Awesome family vacation house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Front Row Center is the perfect house for a family getaway to the beach. All the rooms are spacious and have their own bathrooms. But the real gem is the Kitchen and living area. Very large and the most well stocked kitchen of any home rental I have ever experienced. They even provide you with a spice package for cooking, towels and sunscreen for the beach and beach chairs your whole crew can use. We had a professional chef come in to cook a special dinner and even he complimented the Kitchen! For outdoor fun...the beach is right out your back door and the pool is perfect for a cool dip in the late afternoon. We would definitely come back again!!

Nice house but...

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: ...don’t count on the dishwashers cleaning your dishes! Neither dishwasher got our dishes clean and we spent hours rewashing dishes and silverware. Otherwise it is a lovely, comfortable, well appointed property. The elevator was helpful in transporting luggage, groceries, etc. The many large windows give panoramic views of the gulf. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked which made it easier to cook for our crowd. A great property but I hope the owners install better dishwashers—no one wants to spend vacation time washing dishes!

Absolutely Amazing Abode on SGI

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the minute we walked into this property we were amazed with the place. It was immaculate and every little detail was taken care of from the beach towels to every and anything one may need in the kitchen. You only need your clothes to stay here. Beach chairs are plenty along with floats for the pool. The welcome gift was a great little touch as well. AND THE VIEW!!!! The only thing that I can even ding this place on is there is only one bedroom with an ocean view, but it was our room so the kids had to suffer. And make sure to wear your sandals to the beach, the deck can get a little warm on your walk back. Honestly, we've stayed at several places on the island and this one has been our favorite.

Wonderful House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was beautifully decorated and very well appointed. All bedrooms are very nice, but the master is outstanding (much nicer than the other rooms, with a porch and beach view). We especially appreciated the shaded section by the pool (pleasant surprise). Even the umbrellas and beach chairs at the house were quite nice and plentiful. It seems that everything was new (May 2024). Some people commented on the dishwashers (two!) not working well, which was true. It's better to break open the pods first. Not a big deal. Our only issue was with VayKLive, the company that provides their bikes/chairs/etc. Make sure you're there to inspect bike delivery, otherwise it may be 2 days before you get usable ones. The house's umbrellas/chairs are nicer than what you would rent.

Best Place and company!!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: OMG!!!! We have been coming to SGI at least once a year for almost ten years and this house was the BEST house EVER! So roomy, so comfortable, so up to date in appliances, rooms, pool, amenities, ELEVATOR, arrival gifts and goodies. I could go on for days. The weather was not the best, but we hardly noticed because the place was excellent!!!! And GCV will forever be my go to company for accommodations forevermore! They responded to my every desire and question and need with smiles and humor! So customer focused! I feel like I know them personally! My only regret is that Front Row Center is not available for our fall trip in 2024. But that is no surprise, the place is incredible! and the beach is just a step away from the deckS! Thank you!

Forever "Owl's Rest"

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We first stayed here in 1990 and continued to do so for 17 years. This location brings back such memories. For 16 years we were nomads on SGI, staying at various other houses. We came back home last year and this year following the extensive renovations. It feels like home, but far better. The children who grew up coming to this house are now bringing their children. The tradition continues. You may call it Front Row Center, but it will be forever "Owl's Rest" to us.

PERFECTION

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could not have been more pleased with our stay! Everything was so well appointed, every single kitchen item we needed we were able to find, the outdoor spaces were better than we expected and the house was clean and comfortable. Loved the decor and the little touches of home. We called maintenance once during our stay to reset the elevator and to shock the pool and they were quick, responsive and professional. Our only disappointment is that this house is already booked for the week we can go next year. We will be watching so we can snag it for 2026!
