We stayed at the Blue Crab for 5 days while my daughter played in a golf tournament. The house is very well appointed and very comfortable.
We had one issue com up during our stay but Susan was on top of it and it was resolver quickly.
We would definitely come stay again when we are in the area.
This was one of the cleanest and best managed properties we have ever stayed. The house is brand new and feels like home away from home. Every detail and need is considered. We fell in love with the decoration, wall art, objects around the house etc. Pool was great and my two teenage boys had so much fun. The property management team was on top of everything and answered every single question very promptly. If you are looking for a rental at St Simon’s area look no further. We can’t wait to come back sometime soon.
