St. George’s Vacation Rentals
The vacation rental market is exploding; travelers tired of cramped hotel rooms and expensive rates are
increasingly looking for alternative accommodations.
St. George’s has 40 units – varying from studio apartments to 6 bed units.
With the new hotel still in the planning phase it could be awhile before it is operational which means these
vacation rentals are providing enough beds to act as a hotel in the town.
A proposal has been made to government to allow for a hostel-like accommodation in the town. This type of
facility will be invaluable to cultural events, extended families, sports teams, and wedding parties.
