I have visited St. Simons Island many times before and stayed everywhere from campground-style lodging in the interior of the island to hotels, to a duplex close to the beach.
Those were nice, but Beach Club #330 beats them all. No contest.
Beach Club itself is in a great location and we were really grateful for the parking under the building - it kept our car cool during the day. The spaces were a bit snug but worked for our mid-sized sedan. It was nice to have both luggage and grocery carts at the elevators to help you move your items to your condo.
The best part of this unit is the views. From the living room, dining room, or bedrooms, you have a view of the ocean. Even when it threatened to rain or storm, the views were fantastic. There is a building right next to this unit, but we found that to be a real benefit, in that this was a very quiet location for this condo. It was so nice to watch the sunrise or the stars from the balcony. In the heat of the day, it was nice to have our own shady spot to relax and read or people-watch.
The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms large, and the kitchen was fully equipped. There were TVs in both bedrooms and a large flat-screen in the living room with many family-friendly DVDs available. We used the in-unit washer and dryer daily, and that allowed us to travel home with suitcases full of clean clothes - another great benefit! I was pleasantly surprised at how large the shower in the Master bathroom was and my wife appreciated the large tub to soak in after a long day of walking, shopping, and sight-seeing.
The Beach Club's pool and private boardwalk to the beach were also incredible amenities. We rented chairs and umbrellas on the beach and could easily walk back and forth to the condo, pool, or snack bar. It was really nice to be able to play on the beach during the day, go back to the condo to rest, and then go back out to the beach in the evening. #330 gave us the freedom to really enjoy the beach during each part of the day.
Pat owns this unit and was so wonderful to work with. She called to check in with us to make sure we had settled in and made sure we had everything we needed.
We would not hesitate to rent Beach Club #330 again and hope that we have the opportunity to return soon. If you're looking for a great place to rest and relax that is close to everything, this condo is the one!
