From our first interaction with Justin, I knew we had found a place that would feel like home. And it did! Sweetwater was spacious, clean, well equipped and perfect for our family. The beach is steps away, the on-site pool was quiet and private, the neighborhood was close to everything. We biked, walked, and tooled around the darling island in a golf cart. Justin recommended fun things to do and great restaurants. He communicated with us daily to see how our stay was going. The beds are amazingly comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more including spices, coffee filters and sweeteners. They had laundry detergent, soap, Kleenex. I’ve never had a VRBO so well stocked. If you are thinking about Sweetwater, stop thinking and just book.

Returning from an amazing week on SSI. The condo was wonderful. Fully equipped with anything you can think of. Very clean and well decorated to makes you feel at home. Short walk to the pool and beach. Justin responded quick with any questions.
SSI is a great place for a vacation. You can relax on the beach, visit historical sites, walk on the pier, paddle board and eat at some great restaurants. Planning on returning next year.
Thanks for allowing us to stay in your condo.

Our group of two adults and kids ranging from 17 to 21 had a wonderful stay at this east beach townhome. The unit was clean with plenty of linens and very comfortable beds for all. The decorating was updated and the layout was perfect for our crew. The teenagers loved the upstairs balcony! Easy access to overflow parking. The owners were easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Everyone agreed the townhome was a great find and the location was fabulous. Would definitely stay here again!

There is a reason why this property has a 5 star rating!! Everything was wonderful! Everything is just as described! The kitchen was very well stocked and there was plenty of room to sit and eat together as a family. The beds were super comfortable! There were chairs, a wagon and cooler that we could use for the beach - even beach towels! The owners really do think of everything! The pool and beach were great - and we never felt crowded. We hardly had to drive for 5 minutes to enjoy awesome food and service. Also, Ashley was great at communicating and answering all of my questions beforehand. I highly recommend this condo!

Everything was amazingly planned. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. A fresh water system and enough furniture for us to sit around chatting. Already plan to stay next year

We were extremely impressed with the condition & amenities of the property! The owner was very prompt in assisting us in any way. We loved the proximity to the beach & enjoyed some of the suggested local eateries. If you get a chance, put a sunrise outing to Driftwood Beach on your itinerary, only 20 minutes away! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for quiet beach time! Thanks to Justin & Ashley for letting us share your beautiful home!

Our family and I came down for Spring Break getaway and could not have ask for a more wonderful experience and beautiful, comfortable, extremely well decorated fun townhouse and place to stay. We were so happy with everything and especially the amount of towels and beach items provided by the owner for our stay. The listing is just as described and with 4 levels the elevator was an amazing asset to carry in groceries and luggage. Communication with owners was excellent. I can not say enough positive things about our experience and stay.
5.0 / 5.0
This property is well maintained and full of amenities. The owner has a fully stocked kitchen and also made accessible to us beach items such as good chairs, cart and cooler. This was wonderful since we flew into st simons which saved us having to buy these items.
The bedrooms had good quality linens and had plenty of above average towels.
Very nicely decorated and did not have a “tired” feel. Great quality comfortable furniture.
Plenty of TV’s, games, books and a video game system. Owner answered promptly questions we had. Easy access to property. Safe and in a good location. Beach access is very good.
We enjoyed our stay.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was exactly as described. The location is so nice for quick access to the beach and a short drive to some great restaurants and shops. We had nothing but great meals and service everywhere!
This place had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and amenities for the beach. A few of the beach chairs were not usable (broken) but we brought some along so all was good.
Quick responses from Justin were very helpful. The WiFi was a bit sporadic but we managed ;)
I would highly recommend staying here!

Justin and Ashley responded quickly to any questions asked. Overall I would give Driftwood 6 an excellent rating!

Absolutely Perfect
There is no way to describe our experience other than perfect. The home was just as described and Justin and Ashley were responsive, detail oriented, and so helpful. They really have thought of everything to make the stay the very best possible. From the wagon for the beach and the extra fans for the rooms, to the extra batteries for the remote and the abundance of towels; they have an immense eye for detail and it shows. I’ve done many VRBOs and this was by far the best. The location was perfect for as we were able to go back and forth from the beach without driving anywhere or making it a huge event each time we wanted to see the water.
Simply put, it was perfect and wouldn’t change a thing. This property is amazing as are the hosts.

Beautiful home, everything you need, just steps from the beach
Everything you could need for your beach vacation is here - towels, chairs, sand toys, and a beach wagon (🙌🏼). It is beautifully decorated and was perfect for our party of 7. My older parents truly appreciated the elevator that opened straight into one of the master suites. There are plenty of toys for little ones to play with at the home as well. The kitchen is very well-equipped, more so than any other property I’ve stayed in through VRBO. The owners are fantastic about communication as well, should you need anything. The beach that it’s located on is amazing! It never felt crowded! It was our first time to the island and I was so very pleasantly surprised by the beauty. We will surely be coming back, and will be staying here when we do!

Amazing
Our family LOVED this home!! It was exactly as described the pictures were spot on. The location to restaurants, shopping was perfect. The home was supplied with everything you could need. I have never been in a home that even had water for us!! The grill was perfect. State of the art appliances throughout the entire home. The walk to the beach was a little long but easily do/able!! We had a golf cart and puttered all over this amazing little island. My family had a blast. We would definitely return!!

More like a home than a rental
We LOVED our time in this beautiful townhome! It is so well appointed and comfortable, not to mention stylishly decorated. Thank you for thinking of everything we could need to have a comfortable stay. We barely needed to bring anything! It felt like a home, not a rental. 😃

Great Service & Attention to Detail!
This property is amazing! Everything was super clean. Property has been updated & is very modern. Very nicely decorated with beautiful furnishings. Justin & Ashley have spared no detail! They have gone above and beyond from the electronic keypad on the entry door and nest smart system, tvs, chargers and speakers in every room, a fully appointed and labeled kitchen with everything you could need including a keurig. The beds are super comfortable with fresh white linens, nice pillows, & the baths have plush towels and bath mats. Very nice furnishings. Plenty of drawers and closet space. With 4 bedrooms there is plenty of room for a large family. The neighborhood has direct beach access, a very nice community pool, and it is super quiet. The condo is just a few minutes from the best restaurants as well as to the Village. There is a PS4, DVD players, fun games and books for rainy days and evenings. Justin & Ashley were a delight to rent from...they were quick to respond, super courteous & attentive. They answered every question and made sure we had everything we needed. We rented the condo for a cold & rainy President’s Day weekend so we really enjoyed having a comfortable & cozy condo to hang out in. We will definitely stay here again! I give this condo and owners a 5 star rating!

First time VRBO users. Rented the house with another family. 8 guests (4 adults, 4 kids) stayed 10 days. Houses was everything it was advertised to be. Pool and beach super close, both better than advertised. Quiet clean pool, HUGE wide beach. The house has every of you could need, finishes were very nice. Owners have thought of everything down to extra batteries for the Tv remote, phone chargers galore, and every kitchen utensil a chef or bartender could ask for. 2 master bedrooms were key to staying with 2 families. The owner, Justin was super accessible before, during and after our stay, had all the answers and made the experience top notch. First visit to SSI, the house is in a great location. Walking distance to downtown, shops, bars, restaurants. Close to golf, bike rentals, waking/running trails, kayaking tours, horseback riding tour. Thanks to Justin’s visitor guide we hit all the attractions, ate at all best the local restaurants and were able to coordinate beach chair and umbrellas to be setup every day by the ocean. Perfect beach getaway to recharge with friends and family. Great, relaxing trip, we would defiantly go back to SSI and would be honored to be Justin’s guests again in the future!

We had a wonderful time at this property! This townhome was decorated beautifully, with plenty of space. The owners also had it well stocked and were very attentive with any questions we had. Great location in East Beach! We would definitely visit again!

So great! They thought of everything!
Fantastic. This house really has it all- especially love the deck on the fourth floor. Proximity to the beach, the pool which was never crowded- that’s important to us during covid. The beach had lots of social distancing. The owners were really responsive! Neighbors were nice too. Only small thing was there was some construction next door- it’s over now but it was a little annoying to hear the hammering during the day. That’s literally the only drawback- everything else was perfect!

Wonderful vacation!
The townhouse is beautiful and accurately described in the information. Perfect location and having the pool available was a definite plus! The best part was Justin's responsiveness. Any question was answered within minutes. We hope to return!

The house is immaculate and the location doesn’t get any better. The owners, Jason and Ashley, are very responsive and are a pleasure to deal with.

Look no further ! This place is immaculate and comfortable .Beautifully decorated -walk to beach
Seven adults and one toddler stayed at this awesome townhouse for 5 nights. It's exactly as described and a great location. Steps to the pool and the beach. The beach here is great ..... wide , flat sand to walk or bike on . Tidal pools form at low tide which make it absolutely perfect for kids. They had umbrellas and chairs that we could use as well. The bedrooms were very comfortable and nicely decorated as was the rest of the home. The kitchen had everything you need to cook at home or if you decide to go out there are great restaurants within walking distance. And the best part was Justin, the owner! I've rented 18 homes in the past 3 years and he is by far the most responsive and helpful vacation rental owner that I have encountered. Prompt ! and goes the extra mile. Not only did he answers numerous email questions but I made reservations for a trolley tour and never received confirmation from them., nor could i get a response. Justin contacted them and handled it for us ! The outside look of this place is a bit deceiving ... a bit plain but dont let that deter you ... I almost passed it up and so glad I did not .The location and area is beautiful. Perfect home!!!!!

Perfect accommodations for a perfect week. The location of this spacious unit is steps from the beac
We loved Driftwood #6. This unit is beautifully decorated with great room sizes, comfortable beds and gracious seating. Just a short walk from the beach and the pool is great. We thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Spacious, clean and close to the beach!
With 5 adults and 3 children included in our party, I never felt we were "on top" of each other. The condo is very spacious and clean. Access to the beach was simple, just a short walk from the front door. Great area to run/walk on the beach or through the neighborhoods.

Great time for all
We loved our vacation on St. Simons Island, very relaxing and quaint place to spend a week. There are lots of things to do or you can do nothing at all and stay at the beach all day. The town home in East End was great, the elevator was a plus for getting luggage in and out of the 4 level town home. The kitchen was well stocked with almost everything you need to cook most anything you would want to. The only two critiques that I have are 1.) There should be a real coffee pot and not just the Keurig maker, we had a house full of coffee drinkers and even brought our own coffee but nothing to make it with. 2.) The settings on the thermostat were annoying, the air went up to 74 every night at midnight and everyone on the house woke up hot most nights. I finally figured out how to change it but should not have to, 70-72 would be a much better standard setting. Also, having down comforters on the 4th floor (or any floor) of a beach house in the summer when the air is set on 74 is not a great idea. Other than that the house was well stocked with games and books and we had a wonderful time at the pool and beach.

Vacay to the Max
Our family (5 Adults - 3 Children {9,11,&12}) vacation was absolutely wonderful. This 4 level townhouse was perfect for us. We plan to get the same place next year. This place had everything right there. Very updated, clean and minute walk to the pool and beach. I advise all that wants a great place to stay at SSI, rent this place.

Love the Townhouse
Love the townhouse, my only suggestion is blackout drapes in the 4th floor bedroom. Best equipped kitchen ever.
