It has become increasingly difficult to find a location suitable in size to accommodate our growing family and Belle Cottage was perfect with the pool and close proximity to the beach.

Our only disappointment was the change in the beach near that house. A deep tidal pool has been created in the last few months that requires one to cross it to get to the actual beach. I don't know if that is a permanent thing or not. If the wooden bridge were extended, it would allow folks to walk across it to the beach.

The location of this home cannot be beat, just four houses from Goulds Inlet and beach. The rental company is wonderful; easy check-in, very responsive to requests and a delight to work with. But the house is tired and needs a deep and thorough cleaning As a VRBO host myself, I may be pickier and more observant than others. The exterior of the house is dirty, windowsills are filthy and the doors need scrubbing. Inside the furniture is very nice and super comfortable. The kitchen however is a mess. There is no organization and it is difficult to find pots and utensils. The amazing pantry is jammed with leftover stuff from previous guests. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back. This is a five star location and with a little cleaning and attention, the house could be five star as well.

So close to the water, very comfortable stay, the community was very friendly and everything was very convenient with our kids, ages 2-9. There was lots of different types of interests on the beach between the waves and the inlet sea life. FYI, the spa is not a hot tub and you need a glasses repair kit flat head screwdriver to unlock any bedroom or bathroom doors that get locked.

The hot tub wasn’t working, which was a bummer, but they were aware of the problem and waiting on a part for it to be fixed.

The house was very nice. The pool was a big hit. The house was a half block from the beach access and a half block from the bike trail. Everyone enjoyed the beach, the swimming pool, biking and paddling their kayaks.

It was nice for the whole family to be able to stay in one place. We loved the kitchen and pool area!

It is steps from beach access, plenty of parking, and spacious inside. We would definitely stay there again!

Our family (2 adults, 3 teens, 2 children) fit perfectly in this spacious house! Room for everyone to stretch out. The pool is great (although hot tub didn’t work) and you are a short 1/2 block walk to Gould’s Inlet, the best beach (IMHO) on the island. We rented bikes and it is very easy to get around the island on them. We liked being a bit further away from the village and public beaches (10 min drive?), but still close to restaurants. Towels and bedding were top notch, not like the threadbare stuff you see elsewhere. Really one of the better rental houses we’ve ever stayed in!

Reviewer Comments: Each year our family of women-aunts and nieces get away during Labor Day weekend to reconnect and spend time together as our Grandmother taught us to do. This year was our first year in St. Simons and it did not disappoint! We didn't allow the threat of Hurricane Dorian to dissuade us from coming. We enjoyed learning about the history of the island from our tour guide. We enjoyed walks on the beach and spent quite a bit of time in the pool and hot tub. The house was large enough for our group of 11. The kitchen was fully equipped where we cooked breakfast and could make adult beverages to enjoy. We played games in the spacious living room. I actually slept on one of the twin beds, which normally is not that comfortable, but actually was. The only area of improvement I would suggest is a thorough cleaning. There was some dust and scuff marks throughout the house. It has quite a bit of charm and a thorough cleaning & some paint touch up would help it really shine and pop for visitors.

We found Belle Cottage nicely furnished, well maintained and clean. The grounds are very nice and well kept. The pool is great! We all really enjoyed it.
The staff at Real Escapes is terrific. They went to great lengths to assist us and we very much appreciate them. The pool guy, Sam, was so very helpful. We had one glitch and he, too, went extra miles to help. I was impressed that, when I thanked him, he said that this is what the property owner would want him to do. And in easy walking distance to the beach, just a block! We would love to return to Belle Cottage and would definitely recommend it!

We had plenty of room and everyone had so much space to spread out. The Kitchen was fabulous because we could all sit around the table and talk. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone and the pool with hot tub was fantastic. This is a great home with all the amenities. Real Escape Properties were great to work with and very accomodating.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Adequate Though it could be a very nice house, it needs some serious repairs: the kitchen faucett, the dishwasher, the clothes dryer, the television in the living room, no knobs on furniture drawers, the headboards are not even connected to the mattresses and the mattresses are very old. The house was clean except for the kitchen, which was very dirty, all the drawers, and cupboards. There were 5 small plates literally swimming in butter, and very few glasses, none of which matched others. The ovens were very dirty and haven't been cleaned in a long time. Also the sheets were threadbare.

As in all the past years the experience has been made more perfect by Real Escapes personnel. Thanks again to your professional team!
