We are sorry for the delay in signing your guestbook. Our grandaugther's wedding weekend this past October was made even more fabulous by your charming home. It is perfect for guests coming down for a wedding on the island, especially if held at The King & Prince. You can walk to the hotel and some of the islands best resturants. Of course having the beach and village in walking distance kept these Senior Mall walkers active as well. Thanks again for going the extra mile to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend staying with The Ladds. They treat you like family. All the best! Rose & Henry Barner

We are big St. Simons fans. Vacation in the summer every year with our two boys 8 and 3 years old. This year we decided to come down for a fall weekend and instead of staying in some of the older homes in East Beach we decided to try the Lighthouse cause it was brand new. We loved it! Sooooo close to beach. You really can walk it and the boys loved it that the baseball and soccer park was right next door. We'll be back this summer for sure.

As Yankee snowbirds we always venture down to the GA coast each fall to scope out a home to escape the Boston winter. We were quite surprised when we checked our favorite rental website and saw the Ladd Lighthouse as a new listing was also a new home. Very comfortable little house very close to everything we needed. We were only disappointed when we heard it was already rented for November and December. We will definitely call again next year.

We love St. Simons. Come every summer. This year we decided to wait until the kids got back in school so we could sneak away together. We were thrilled to find out that not only was the Lighthouse a new home but that we were your first ever guests! Hopefully we will bring you good luck. It is a charming home, decorated in the most clever beach theme. Herman the lobster will be missed!
