Its on an old plantation. They dont provide more than 3 sets of towels regardless of how many guests and charge you if you need more. They have a sign that says they encourage you to reuse your towels everyday. The lamps were dusty. The bathtub mat had mildew. The shower curtain had mildew. I wish we could have left but the hurricane was in effect.

For the price, this was a decent place. Beautiful grounds. Check-in given keys & map to the Turner Lodge. Should have been told about pool, church & service, dining facility, vending location, museum, any other amenities. No coffee in room, fridge was tiny w/ no freezer at all, mattress reasonably comfortable, very small TV. Worst thing was lack of insulation in building. We heard toilets flushing & sliding glass doors opening. Beautiful view from balcony & peaceful grounds. Convenient drive to town. Friendly staff, but they need to be trained to inform guests of what's available or give out a leaflet with info.

This was the first time we’ve stayed at Epworth by the Sea and it was amazing. The room was very clean and nice and the views were amazing! It was very peaceful and relaxing. We are already planning our next trip to stay here!

When I pulled up to this area, I was surprised it is a religious retreat area. I am fairly religious so no worries there -- I enjoyed the chimes on the hour and half hour and periodic hymns played by the bells -- but I did wonder if I went to the right place.
But wowza! The front desk was terrific and, when I had an issue with the room in the middle of the night, I received swift and wonderful assistance.
Great people, BEAUTIFUL campus to walk, and peaceful so one can relax and then hit the crowds of the beaches and shopping area for a nice balance.
I will be going back!

The campus is in a great location. It is on the water and has a great path that walks along the water. Beautiful to watch at sunset. It is a short drive to anywhere you would like on the island. The rooms are simple but comfortable. They do need small coffee makers though. It would have been really nice to sit on the balcony and watch the Sunset. That was a little dissapointing but other than that I was pretty happy with my stay. The price was very reasonable.

Nice views from the room. Room is dated with no coffee pot. TV is small and has no HD channels. Ceiling in the room
was missing paint in several spots and the lock on the bathroom door is broken. Front desk staff seemed annoyed that I was asking questions about where to get food on site. I was done with my shower by the time hot water started to flow from the shower head.

Loved how close the property was from down town and the property was beautiful.

Pictures are deceiving. Just a Methodist retreat masquerading as a luxe hotel. Rooms are like Grandma's condo purchased in the 80s. There are 2 buildings. One is not pictured. I believe called Robertson. Don't accept that. No patio or non-sealed windows. Older too. People near me partied until 2am. Reception just shrugged when I told them. It obviously had been going on w/o being remedied. No one there at night to call. It's just not a professional hotel. Good view and grounds though. Sand fleas nipped me while walking around.

Grounds were gorgeous! Stunning views! Cleaner than expected. Could use an update in-room, but easily 9.5.

Beautiful marshes view. Difficult to find the location.

Had a 2nd floor room. It's a 3-story property. We could hear toilets flushing from other rooms (they are powerful) and could hear the sliding glass door from the room above us as they walked in and out to their balcony. That was the only negative thing about our stay.

Amazing view of the sunset from our balcony. Great views of the river. Clean room, great place to take a nice walk if you want on the property. On the negative, the toilet doesn't have a lid so when you flush (it's a super powerful flusher) water squirts out of the toiler onto the floor, etc. I found myself flushing and running! Also, you're a quick 10- 15 minute drive to restaurants, beach, etc. on the island. We'll be coming back again....maybe with a lid.

Lovely, tranquil river-front facility. Although they host large groups, there was no evidence of it - no noise, no overloaded parking lots. Enough away from downtown, but close enough for easy access. Bike trails to town. 24-hr coffee station.

Epworth is a lovely, quiet retreat on St. Simon's, but personnel have little information about the island and not much more about their own amenities.
4.0
Beautiful spot. Worth noting this property is a “Methodist Retreat”; thus there is no smoking or use of intoxicates allowed on the property. Church bells ring on the hour and half hour from 8 am to 9 pm.
It is a clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.
