The weather was terrible but we didn’t mind. It was a perfect place to stay and relax with a great view. Will be back for sure.

There was no hot water! Might explain the dirty dishes in the cupboards. It was a weekend and I called/texted several times before I got a response because it wasn’t considered an emergency and it was a Sunday so the automated response said everyone was at church praying. There was no one available to look at the problem until Monday and the property group offered another property but they didn’t meet our needs so they agreed to a refund and we went somewhere else.

Very nice beach house with great view of the ocean on the second floor porch. Clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay in this area again.

Would I stay here again? YES
Great family vacation spot with the beach in view and an easy walk to let kiddos build sandcastles. The interior of the condo is well done and comfortable, with a back nook where our daughter snuck away to read during the storm.
The building is older and there is a musty smell in the entryway to the building, but the scent was NOT noticeable in the condo itself. If you are there during a storm, water will sneak in around the porch door, but it's easy to clear with a standard towel. Lastly, pick up a bag of ice at the grocery as the ice machine in the fridge doesn't work. None of these issues are a big deal. Afterall you're renting, you don't own the place. Just know there are minor inconveniences.
I feel that Covenant Properties did a good job communicating with us throughout the trip and beforehand. They get high marks for this because they live there and their power was probably out at their house too, and the still kept in touch through the tropical storm.

We stayed at Emily’s Beach House for the Fourth of July, and have never had a better trip! The location was perfect, we brought our bikes, but also rented a golf cart to make getting around a little easier. The condo was clean and quiet, and we loved all the rustic hardwood and brick touches

Loved the location. The unit was exactly as pictured. Beds were super comfortable. It’s set up for a ST stay (which we were) but if you are staying longer you will need to provide all the basics you would need. Spices,

We were booked to stay in this adorable condo for 6 nights. Upon arrival, we were informed that the hot water heater wasn’t working and there would be someone coming to fix it.
As you can see by the text messages I am attaching, the water heater was never fixed by the time we left.
Later, we were offered the condo below us that only had 1.5 baths for 4 adults, or we were offered a condo with one less bedroom that would becoming available. Our only other option was to pack up our bath products and go shower in the condo downstairs. The owners of the downstairs condo dropped by and asked if we knew if anyone was staying in their condo because they came by to measure something and saw someone had been using the shower. I told them it was us and we had been given permission by Covenant.
When I asked for some financial compensation, we were offered one night free for a future booking that could not include a holiday. I said that is unacceptable so we were finally given one night free. This is my fault totally for not reading the contract that they are not responsible for mechanical failures and this is what we were experiencing.
In the end, the whole week was spent glued to my phone to see when and if someone was coming by to work on the hot water heater.
I would definitely recommend this beautiful condo with a great location but would not stay in a Covenant property again.

We checked in late. We found the master bedroom infested with flying carpenter ants. Tried to call the after hours emergency number but no one answered. The next morning, I was able to get assistance. I was offered another option but is was not in a great location. It was several blocks away from beach and on a busy road. We wanted to be close to the beach and have at least a view. Management company sent someone to clean up dead ants, spray for any new ants. It helped, but more ants were entering from the window and ceiling. They left the spray for us, and I did spray again and it seemed to help. I could not sleep in that room for fear more ants would return. We wound up using the little bonus room with pullout sofa and the room with twin beds for our stay, those rooms did not have ants. I feel like the condo should not be rented out if there is a bug problem. No one wants to sleep with bugs coming into the room. Property management tried to help, but not a lot they could do. Owner needs to get some pest control done on the building.

We have stayed in the unit several times. It has been a couple of years but all the updates and new furniture was fantastic and it looks wonderful. We especially like that we can sit on the balcony and see and hear the ocean and the breeze this time was amazing!

We enjoyed our stay and intend to visit again! The place itself was clean and exactly what we needed for our family of four. Very close to the beach and within walking distance of the pier and all the restaurants there and also a walk, just a little further, to the restaurants near the King and Prince resort. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful girl's trip staying in this little gem. The condo was more than equipped with supplies and furnishings to feel right at home. We absolutely loved staying at St. Simons Island!

We were looking for a place to go that was not too far from Tampa. Condo was just like the pictures. Location was great for walking to the down town. Easy drive to areas nearby. Drive to Savannah is an easy day trip.
The view to the water is exactly as the pictures show. The access is right across the street. Location is excellent.

We have stayed here twice now. Great place and so close to beach and village. Have stayed in 4 different places on St Simons but this is our favorite. Hope to stay more often.

This is an amazing property! Very clean, comfortable beds, and easy access to beach which is right across the street. Decor in unit is fabulous! You can sit on balcony and see/hear the ocean. Very short walk to the village, where there are several great restaurants and cute shops. We visit the island often, but this is our favorite rental thus far! Definitely will stay here again!!

The stay was great. Our first time to the area. The location of the condo is fantastic to the village and beach. Both within walking distance. Quiet Neighborhood location. We were there near the end of the summer, so it was not as crowded. Our only concern was that that the condo had very limited streaming options for the smart TV and we had a day and a half of bad weather. As adults, we would have liked to have some local weather TV options and more streaming channel options. Looking forward to our next trip.

My husband and three grandchildren found this the perfect place to stay in St, Simons. The condo was clean, cute, and well cared for. The balcony was the perfect place to watch the waves during a rainstorm. Beach access was directly across the street and accessible even at high tide. It was easy to carry our gear the very short distance to our spot on the beach! Restaurants and shops were within walking distance. We will be back!

We had a blast during our time staying here. Everything was as described and location to the beach was great! We walked to shopping and all of our meals. Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed the location, sitting on the balcony and seeing the ocean. The only problem was the dryer didn’t work. We contacted the manager who quickly sent someone to check it. Unfortunately it needed a new part and was unable to get it that day. The manager graciously offered the empty unit next door to us to dry our clothes. Highly recommend this place!
8.0
We enjoyed our stay mostly due to the great location - proximity to the beach and village restaurant/shopping district. The unit was very cute with adequately stocked kitchen and linens. The biggest disappointment was that we had no internet until the second day and were unable to reach the management company without going through the VRBO portal to message the owner because we couldn't reach anyone with the phone number we were given and the voicemail was full. Very disappointing and I would have expected better communication especially after learning about the problem. In addition, the clothes dryer had no heat. I would be hesitant to stay there again.

Simply Wonderful
We loved our stay in this condo! Everything was exactly as pictured and described, and we had everything we needed. The location is perfect with the beach being only a very short walk across the street and lots of nearby dining. There is a grocery store a few minutes away as well. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back.

Wonderful place!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this warm, inviting condo that is equipped with all that you need. Fantastic view from the front balcony and such an easy access to the beach. The location is right in the heart of town and it's an easy walk to the shops, pier and great restaurants. Would love to stay here again in the future. The owner, Bill, is a great guy - thanks for all!
