Great Location

This was the perfect location! You could walk to all of our favorite restaurants and the beach. It was only me and my husband, but the property would be ideal for a small family or a family and in-laws. The guest cottage was just as well equipped as the main house.

Only sleeps 3 - 4 possibly but not 6

My grown children and I rented this place for the weekend and saw that it advertised that it sleeps 6. One took the queen size since they can't sleep without a lot of room and they snore, a daughter and I took the twin beds and that left my son the pull out couch. The padding on the pull out was very flimsy and he said that he felt like he was sleeping on top of monkey bars the whole trip. There was only one extra thin "blanket" available for him to cover up with but it was small. He ended up trying to use all of the beach towels that we brought to both pad his mattress and help cover up with. Fortunately, he is only 20 and recovers quickly. We could not get the couch to fold back up so I doubt that it had been used in a while. In the "what to expect" email that we received prior to arrival, it listed that What to Expect: "All residences are furnished with: a starter supply of toilet paper, a starter supply of bar soap, one roll of paper towels, etc." There were no paper towels, but we had brought a roll anyway. Other than that, it was in a great location, the screened in porches were nice and there was ample supply of dishes, cookware, and updated appliances.

Hi! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the location of your vacation rental. We also love the screened in porches, it makes for relaxing afternoons enjoying the fresh air! The ample supply of dishes and cookware, along with the nice new appliances make this kitchen a fun place to be. We hate to hear the pull out couch was not up to par for your son but we are happy to inform you that next time you visit you will get to enjoy the new sleeper sofa we added to the unit recently. We also do apologize about the lack of paper towels in the unit, we hope the oversight did not detract from your time with us on St. Simons Island! We look forward to serving you again in the future.

St Simons July 2021

Initially impression was good. However, there were many "lack of maintenance" issues as the week progressed. Probably a fire code violation was the lack of a cover over a wall socket in the bedroom of the little house. Also, refrigerator was would not close, looks like it has been forced open too far. Vegetation outside the little house is in great need of pruning. The Big House had two (2) screen doors that are falling off their frames. In addition, one has screen torn loose. The ice maker did not function at all, there were cockroaches (Roaches, not "Palmetto Bugs") in the kitchen and wasps in one of the bedrooms. Also the seat in one of the dining room chairs was split. My daughter had planned on discussing these issues when checking out. I just wanted to follow up on them. Thank you.

Cute little place

Clean and comfortable, reasonably well stocked. Guest house was nice touch. Never given code to lockbox to get key. Property manager did not answer calls. Had to break into lockbox to get key. Oh, well.

Very nice, would stay again. Only complaint; the master bedroom mattress was terribly uncomfortable and blackout blinds for the master bedroom windows would be great.

Pet fee?

My only complaint was that I was charged a $150 non refundable pet fee when I have no pets. Everything else was great

Hi Robert, Thanks for staying with us! We are glad to hear you had a great time. This is a pet friendly unit however, upon checking your reservation information I can confirm you were not charged a pet fee since you didn't bring any furry friends along with you. Sorry for any confusion and feel free to reach out if you need a copy of your statement. We hope to see you again soon.
