FRONT ROW CENTER IS AN AMAZING HOME, WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED, GREAT LOCATION AND AWESOME AMMENITIES. GULF COAST VACATION PROP. OF SGI--TAKES EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF THEIR GUESTS AND OWNERS.
We’ve been to St. George Island many times, but this house has been our favorite! The check in process was very easy, and the property management group was very easy to reach and communicate with for questions. The house is stocked with almost every supply you’d need for a great day at the beach! An added bonus was the fabulous pool and hot tub for us to warm up during a slightly chilly week. We also loved the special touch of the welcome bag. We will definitely be rebooking for our next stay!

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.

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!!

...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!

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."

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.

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!

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.
