Thoroughly enjoyed our stay,friendly and very accessible to beach area. Beautiful place and would stay again and let friends know of this amazing place. Thank you very much Mr. Ben! Planning to book for next summer, if the Lordâs willing.
This is a well located condo. Itâs older construction but I really liked that it is a corner unit and has a very pleasant balcony. And the complex has a lovely common area with a pool and barbecue options, plus good access to the beach. I would stay there again.
Our host Ben was great and very responsive to any questions we had. A nicely renovated older complex with everything we needed for our family of four plus our family dog. Space for her to run around and swim at the beach as well. The pool was wonderful and clean. All of the people we encountered were kind and friendly. The beach chairs and bikes Ben provided were perfect for the beach. We went almost every day. Great location to get up and walk to the beach for sunrise. Also close to many restaurants, shops, etc. We walked, biked, and drove. The beaches were very clean here as well as on Jekyll Island too. The benches along Ocean Drive were a nice spot to sit watch part of the sunset also and just a few short blocks from the condo. We really enjoyed these restaurants/Cafes: Tramicis, Porch, Three Little Birds, Wake up Coffee, Palmerâs Village Cafe, and St. Simonâs Crepes. Would recommend to others to visit this area and check out Benâs Condo. Thanks for the memories!
Pictures accurately portray the tastefully decorated condo. Very comfortable for 3-4 guests. Kitchen stocked to prepare and cook basic meals. The location on the island is really good - we love biking to the pier, shops and restaurants that are nearby. Pool was nice. While this does have beach access which is great, it is a good 5-10 minute walk through the dunes down to the beach. Itâs fine, but itâs not your typical beachfront property with a view of the ocean. Owner was very nice and quick to respond to any questions that I had! We would stay here again!
We LOVED this condo! We were there in April for Spring Break. The location is perfect and the condo was decorated so cute. It had everything we needed. Looking forward to staying there again in September.
We loved our spring break stay! The place came with bikes, which we loved riding around the island, and a wagon with chairs and anything you'd need for a day at the beach. The place was well-stocked, and the beds were comfy. It had books, puzzles, and games, and the balcony was nice to enjoy coffee. Our dog loved making friends at the beach! We felt the place was not as clean as we would like, but we read the previous reviews and were somewhat expecting that. Nothing alarming but something to be aware of. We would definitely come back as we fell in love with St. Simon's!
With two young children, we were looking for a place very close to the beach where we wouldn't have to cross the street. After selecting another one of his properties, Ben suggested this property because it was on the first floor, rather than the third, after hearing that we have little ones. We were very impressed with his thoughtfulness and even more so with the property and location. It's even closer to the beach than we imagined, making it so easy to get there with the kids. The wagon was a life saver for us. The condo itself was clean and very well stocked. Close to grocery store and restaurants, as well. We would easily make the decision to return!
The place is great! Itâs smaller but well equipped. Steps from the pool and beach. The bedrooms are well sized and comfortable. Have two decent bathrooms is nice as well. Itâs lived in and relaxed. There are plenty of towels for home and beach. The cart for the beach makes it even easier to take the chairs that are provided down. The bikes are super handy to get to town to shop or go to dinner. The area and the people are great! Ben was super responsive if a need came up and took the time to check in to make sure we had everything and our trip was going well. Thatâs honestly a first for me, and Iâve used VRBO a ton! Thanks Ben!
Was perfect for our needs. We were down for grandsonâs tennis tourney. Condo was clean and cool. Communication was good. Could use new bathroom mats and sheets. Overall⊠great place at a reasonable price.
Good location on the beach and unit is very close to stairs and parking. Bikes, beach wagon, chairs, boards included in storage unit as well. Unit had some updated furniture from posted pictures as well which was nice. Would rent again.
This was an awesome condo to stay in. Loved the beds. Very nice. I brought things I thought I would have needed. But this condo already had everything, even things needed for the beach. I could've saved alot of space in my car .
The only thing that was missing was a fan but that is only because I need one to sleep.
But will definitely rent this one again. The owner was very prompt with all the information that I needed to check-in and out.
Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this property especially given that there is a required cleaning fee. Especially given the pandemic!
Black mold in shower - on shower curtain - we took the liner off completely and put in on the balcony.
Sticky floors
Carpets filthy and stained
Furniture and top of refrigerator not clean or dusted
Tubs not scrubbed if soap scum
We love St. Simons, and had a great experience reserving this property with Ben, the property manager. He was professional, communicative, and very helpful when we had some personal needs arise. Great location - we look forward to returning!
Overall we had an enjoyable stay in this unit. Our kids enjoyed the roomy pool, the complex was quiet and the people we encountered friendly. The bed, floors and showers were clean, but the unit is in need of a deep cleaningâinside cupboards, fridge, stove, floors around appliances, etc werenât very clean, which gives the feel of the whole place not as clean as weâd like. We were also counting on the sleeper sofa for a 5th person, but it wasnât comfortable so we ended up using our inflatable mattress instead. This unit would be best for 4 or fewer people. Having the bikes and beach equipment there was very handy. Ben was responsive and friendly when asked questions. This unit is in a good location.
This was our familyâs first trip to the East Coast. We live 1.5 hours from the Gulf of Mexico, but we drove 5 hours to experience SSI. It was totally worth the drive. Our room was impeccable. It was clean, accommodating, and very comfortable. All amenities listed were included plus some extras. We have kids ranging from 19 to 10, and everyone had a great time. We hope to make this our go-to spot for years to come.
