One of the best vaca spots! We have stayed at many properties up and down SSI and found this one to be among our favorites. Exactly as described by the owner and others. It was exceptionally clean, well equipped, well appointed and spacious. Loved the location!!! Beautiful neighborhood and easy walk to the village and the street’s beach access! We’d often run down to watch the big ships going by and view the amazing turn of the tides…AND soon discovered it was the best spot to enjoy the fireworks! We highly recommended!

Every step of this process was seamless. Great communication with the property mgmt. company. Easy check in and gorgeous home. Just a few steps from a beautiful water view and so easy to walk to the main downtown area. House was well stocked and very comfortable. Beach gear rental partnership was an awesome bonus. Can't wait to return!

Exceptional location in a quiet neighborhood, walk to dinner nightly. Great communication with property manager, easy check in/out process. Property just as in pictures. Comfy beds, great bath towels, master bathroom shower fantastic. Spacious house with a very well stocked kitchen. Board games for all ages, ping pong, cornhole, etc. Movie selections/streaming options a nice touch - plenty of space for a very relaxing trip. Highly recommend!

Perfect place to stay in St. Simons Island. Quick walk to the Pier, close to restaurants and shops. The house is lovely. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Just so you know there are a lot of exterior and interior stairs.
4.0
Very nice property tho the list of rules seemed endless - mostly just common sense.
There were 2 coffee makers but no coffee. In fact no basic supplies at all, except some dried herbs etc. We didn’t want to buy lots of food as we were only there 4 days, so a few pods of coffee would have been appreciated. Most vrbos I’ve stayed at supply some necessities, and most residents leave stuff they can’t use.
Very spacious house in great location.
5.0
We had the BEST stay when our family came to St. Simons for the first time to attend a friend's wedding! The home was so gorgeous and spacious and nestled in the most beautiful neighborhood within walking distance of some amazing shops and restaurants and of course walking distance to the water. We spend many days and nights on the home's gorgeous porches and would recommend to anyone!

Property was well maintained, close to beach access (beach access only available in low tides) and town center area of shopping/restaurants/bars. Can access everything with a short walk or even shorter bike ride. We enjoyed our stay and are hopeful to return to the area in the future

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! The anticipation and timing of check in and check out e mails from the team was perfect.
The location is just perfect. Park the car and walk every where. St Simons is such a delightful town to shop and find all sorts of restaurants.
One member of our group had to hop on/off work calls and used the library and was always within a few blocks to join us .
The house! Amazing. Really. I mean it. Comfortable and welcoming and well appointed. I so enjoyed morning coffee on the porch. This was a bucket list trip left over from childhood.
I am a terrible sleeper and I slept soundly and comfortably each night.
I give this property the very highest recommendation. Sincerest thank you .

The house was as stated in description, even more. A very short walk to stores/restaurants. In a quiet neighborhood. Our teens spend a lot of time in basement playing ping pong. Kitchen was well equipped for all of our cooking needs. Lots of time spent on porch. Already looking at our calendar to seen when we can visit again.
5.0
We loved the location being close to the pier and restaurants. We hadn't anticipated the weather being so nice-- a short drive to East Beach made for the perfect day. Rooms were large and clean. Very large TV in living room was nice. Only disappointment in the kitchen was that there wasnt a frying pan. Agency was very easy to work with-- instructions for check in and check out were made very clear. Would stay here again.
5.0
We loved the home and location. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Very clean. Great master shower. The only complaint would be that the ice maker did not provide any ice and the gas grill only had a small amount of gas. We were not able to cook the steaks on the grill and had to resort to using the stove to cook them. Other than those 2 issues, we absolutely loved our stay.
5.0
