First of all, I would like to share the management company is fabulous! Thank you Monica for your terrific customer service.
I would like to list the positives about this property: clean; walking distance to village and fishing pier; great appliances: very comfortable; nice neighborhood: great place to watch the boats go by; nice landscaping in the backyard; incredibly soft bath towels. It is obvious this is a well loved family vacation home with the number of family photos.
I am however surprised that some of the obvious negatives of the property have not been pointed out. It could be guests are afraid of getting a bad guest review on VRBO? However, I will be brave and point them out for future guests. The photos of the property are deceiving. There is a large maritime structure right across the water destroying what we thought would be a gorgeous water view. We chose this property because of the outside space and were willing to pay for it. The outdoor cushions were completely covered in green algae and mildew spots. At my suggestion, management company was very willing to purchase beach towels to cover the cushions so they could be utilized. Please owners, replace the cushions! At this price point and being a beach house, dismayed to find no beach towels. Had to drive to Target to purchase. I assumed linens provided meant towels for the beach. No wonder they kept stressing don’t bring white towels to the beach. Also, there is a charcoal grill and not a gas grill. Would recommend upgrading at this price point. The upholstery needs tp be cleaned or upgraded as tired or dirty. Finally, there are not safe stairs to walk down to the beach but rocks. Would recommend owners invest in building a proper beach access staircase.
We love St Simons finding it quaint, friendly and relaxing. Would just choose another property when we return,
