Convenience: 5/5
My stay at this property started with the most convenient reservation process. Secondly, communication from property management system was almost intuitive and promptly providing me with pertinent information about my stay: answering where, when, how, who, and what. Third, the property itself was beautiful both inside and out. It was immaculately clean, decorated, and accommodating with everything necessary to make it an enjoyable and peaceful stay. I would most certainly consider it again! Thank You!

Everything about the home was wonderful. Beautifully decorated with ample seating. Rooms were very spacious especially the primary. Mattresses comfortable and ceiling fans in each room were clutch. Kitchen had plenty of amenities. Home was spotless. Easy parking and the location had easy access to everywhere. For a first time SSI visit, buy your drinking water. It is an island. SSI is gorgeous and I encourage everyone to rent this home.

Great Beach House!!

We really enjoyed our stay this past week! Communication was extremely clear about everything that we needed for our stay. As someone who loves to cook, there was everything that we needed to prepare our meals, including spices! The house is very centrally located, extremely spacious, exactly what you would want for your stay on Saint Simons. We will definitely rent this house again the next time we return to the island.

Wonderful St. Simons House

We enjoyed our stay here at this wonderful home on St. Simons Island. It was the perfect size for our family of 6. Spacious kitchen with everything you would need to cook or bake during your stay. The decor in the house was all new and so cute. It was close to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. The owner made the checkin and check out so easy. We will definitely stay here again when we return.

Perfect Getaway

We had evacuated here from Hurricane Milton and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. We loved the island and will be back for sure. The house is beautiful in a very nice friendly neighborhood! The owner/management was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend 10/10 ! 🙂

Above and Beyond

We stayed while a hurricane passed nearby. Power was off for a few days but the owner was on top of things from the start. Communication was excellent and the owner and property manager went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. House is new, clean, and in a great location. Recommend 100%!

Migration

Stayed here on our way home from a month in Florida on a whim and we lucked out to find it available. We were delighted in every way. The property was as described and the photos were accurate. Kitchen was well stocked and the home was nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable and the mid island location worked perfectly for us-only two miles to East Beach. Will stay here again and bring a houseful!

Beautiful House!

We met as a family to celebrate Thanksgiving since we haven't been together for a few years. There was plenty of room with 5 big comfortable bedrooms, 4 big bathrooms, and a laundry room! Plenty of towels. Plenty of dishes and silverware. Just a great place to get together.

Great St Simons Getaway at Turtle Cottage

Wow, I have only good things to say about both the house and the host. The host was super easy to work with. The house looks brand new, it even still smells new. It is very well decorated and has everything you could need. The listing photos are all accurate. It is across the street from a Starbucks and close to restaurants and bars. You can easily bike ride to the beach.
