Perfect VRBO
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!

Very well appointed home with just about anything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The outdoor sitting areas were delightful, the kitchen very well appointed, the master and second bedroom spacious. Location quiet and proximity to the village an extra bonus. Definitely a repeat!

Terrific location near Mallery St
Overall, a great property. Big rooms, very comfortable place. Superb walking distance to Mallery St and the beach…although it was too cold for the beach the weekend we stayed there. Would most definitely rent here again.

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.

November visit
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.
