Had an amazing time with friends. The location was super convenient as we were able to walk to the pier. There was also a park right by the house, which was really helpful when traveling with a 3-year-old.

The house had more than enough room for my husband and me, our 21-year-old son, and golden retriever. The layout would be great for a couple of families with small children. It was beautifully decorated and nicely stocked with everything we needed. We loved playing cornhole in the fenced front yard with our dog watching nearby. I wish it had more of a backyard area, but the front was nice and roomy. The location was great for walking down to the village and pier. There are lots of dog-friendly places to check out. We got takeout from CJ's Italian restaurant which was just okay. We really enjoyed our breakfast on the patio at Palm Coast Cafe. It's not walking distance to a beach, but we made a trip over to Jekyll Island to see Driftwood Beach. It was worth the trip. We had fun searching for the Spirit Trees (at least I did), and climbing to the top of the lighthouse (my legs are still sore). Overall, it was a great place to relax for a long weekend.

Great experience

Sugar Magnolia is a beautiful home with such character! We enjoyed looking around and finding the nooks and crannies of this house! The kitchen is better stocked than my home....more spices than I keep! We cooked 4 meals while on vacation and there was nothing that I needed and couldn't find. The master bedroom is worth the price of admission!! A comfy king bed, two closets with velvet hangers, a huge sitting area and the ensuite with two sinks and a ceiling fan! Ceiling fan in the bath...genius!! The front and side yard is manicured, beautifully landscaped and was the perfect place for our dogs. I sat on the front porch each morning drinking coffee while they roamed and I didn't have to worry about them escaping! The location could not be better! We walked to the pickle ball courts and dog park several times. We walked to breakfast one morning and dinner one evening. We rode bikes to the beach and around the neighborhoods. It was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful, pet friendly vacation!!

This house was perfect for us. Shops, dining, beach access, pier, and light house were all within a 5-10 minute walk. The house is older but beautifully decorated. The yard is immaculate and the landscaping is beautiful. The kitchen was stocked better than any VRBO rental that I have ever stayed in. My only concern, I hate to even mention it because we truly loved the house, was the air conditioner. We were there in early May and the temps reached the high 80s, so not really hot, but the air conditioner couldn't keep us as cool as we are used to. We set it to 70 and it stayed around 72 the entire time. The upstairs was the warmer area because it relied on a ductless mini type of air conditioner. We weren't super uncomfortable but I would think if your temps were in the upper 90s then you would be hot for sure. I would definitely rent this house again, however.

My husband, adult children and two grandchildren had a wonderful vacation here! The house and yard were clean and spacious; our multi-generational party of 8 people and a large dog had plenty of room. We also enjoyed the neighbourhood, filled with giant moss draped trees, opulent blooms and the clean, sandy beach nearby. St. Simon's is gorgeous, and for our large group, this house was perfect!

Pros: The location could not be more perfect. An easy stroll in various directions leads to the village, the pier, a massive park and playground, a dog park. A short drive to the beach for daily walks (it was February). The house is very spacious and supplied with everything we needed. We had our little dog with us and appreciated the fully fenced yard. Cons: We were aware of a strong smell of pet urine on the rugs and mats in the main room and entrance. I appreciate how tricky it must be to avoid these sorts of things when a rental is pet-friendly, and we are grateful to find places like this, so we were happy to adjust to it. Definitely not a deal-breaker, considering how perfect the place was overall. The texting communication with the rental agency was cut off mid-conversation on the first day as it coincided with their end of day. At 5pm, mid-question, an automated text was sent to say the office was closed. We were having trouble with the TV and also had a question about a kitchen appliance... so not terribly important issues (we survived!). More importantly, though, a lawn care company came to spray pesticide in the front yard while we were out, and we weren't given a heads up. I only happened to notice the little sign in the ground a couple of days later, warning people and pets to keep off. Our dog had been spending time in the yard every day, and I was concerned (we all survived that too). Overall a truly excellent rental and we had a terrific week!

This was the most pet friendly vacation home we’ve stayed in. The fenced yard was perfect for our mini goldendoodle. The location is perfect and walkable to all the shops and restaurants in the village. Great place to stay, park the car and relax for a few days!
