The condo felt like it was in the middle of renovations. There were holes in the walls where pictures once stood (we have stayed here before and know what it looked like). There were not enough towels for a family of 4 and I had to wash a load to have clean towels daily.
It was the perfect spot for a last minute beach getaway with 2 of my kids! We loved the location and proximity to the beach and downtown area. We will definitely be back!
The location was actually better in person than the pics. Very homely (in our opinion) and comfortable and cheerfully and beachy decorated. It was just right for a long weekend trip! It was me, my husband and my sister on this visit. We enjoyed the beach both Friday and Saturday and ate delicious seafood.
The condo is right across the street from the beach (though you can't see it because of another building that blocks the view) which is really convenient, especially with kids. There are also a bunch of restaurants and shops nearby that are within walking or biking distance, which was great!
The only real con to this property was that the king size bed was very hard. If you don't mind that, this is the perfect property for your stay on SSI!
The condo was close to everything: beach, pier, restaurants, shopping etc. we only got in our car once during our stay.
Our place was clean and comfortable. We had everything necessary to feel at home on the beach!
The property manager responded quickly with information and instructions. It was an easy rental experience. The location was excellent and an easy walk to the lighthouse, shopping, restaurants, and beach.
The property is partially modernized. It is very close (walking distance) to shopping, eating, and the beach. The beds and pilows need updating. I woke up every morning with back aches because the mattress feels like rocks covered with a mattress pad. Other than that, it was great!
Donât get me wrong, you canât beat the location, literally on the beach in a minutes walk, & a short walk to the pier village. Itâs on a very quiet street & you can hear the ocean from the front porch. The unit itself has a great layout, updated & clean. There is a shared closet when you walk in with some beach chairs for you to use!
However some things worth notingâŠ
Most of the furniture needs to be replaced. All 3 beds, pillows and linens were terrible. You will not have a good night sleep in these beds. The sofas had little to no cushion left and the chair in the living room was worse than the couch.
The kitchen was not equipped for cooking⊠there wasnât even a proper knife to cut veggies.
The house was not stocked with any essentials you typically find in a VRBO (no dish soap, sponge, dishwasher tabs, hand soap, basic toiletries, trash bags, laundry pods, coffee essentials, salt and pepper, tissues, etc). We ended up going to buy our own. (According to the property management during check out there should have been some of these things, and we should have asked⊠but how were we supposed to of known).
The property is an older building so you hear EVERYTHING! We were woken up in the middle of the night by the guests above us moving about.
Overall, great stay, just wish it was more comfortable/equipped.
Right across from the 12th street beach access that pretty much always has beach even during higher tide. Say walk to the village and walking/biking distance to the shops and restaurants at Arnold road. Wonderful location.
Although we chose to leave a day early due to a lack of power as a result of a hurricane, this unit is excellently equipped and in a great location near the beach and the village.
The condo is in a perfect location. You walk across a quiet street to a public beach access to get to the beach. You can see the ocean from the porch, but there are condos that block a complete beach view. You can also easily walk to the pier with restaurants, shops, pool & playground.
Clean, well maintained and updated, beach access across the street, convenient to âvillageâ. SSI is beautiful and a definite âbucket-listâ location.
Location is PERFECT! We enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with the cleanliness of the condo. Kitchen had everything we need and the property was just as described. The bathtub drain needs work but other than that everything was perfect and we will be back!
We couldnât ask for a better location. This condo was convenient to the pier and village. It was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. This was our first time in St Simons and weâre already planning our next trip back!
The location of the property is very close to the beach and you can hear the ocean waves clearly. It was nice to see many people taking walks around the area, giving a pleasant environment. The unit was very clean upon arrival and being located on the first floor is helpful to elderly people. The only issue is the check in time and check out time, which gave a shortened enjoyment of the unit.
The condo is very nice - clean, updated furnishings, comfy beds, plush towels. The location is great - just across the street from beach access, walking distance to the lighthouse and a short drive to shopping and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay!
Great choice for a longer term stay. Excellent location across the road from beach access and close to the village. Property manager is extremely responsive. Bed/furniture is very comfortable, everything works great, nice porch for eating meals and hanging out!
Great place, very quick walk to the beach, and great for our 2 and 4 year old to get in and out easily. Nice clean place, with all we needed in the kitchen and nice to have a washer!
Very nice property! We really enjoyed our stay here. It is very close to the beach and the patio is perfect for sitting outside at night and listening to the waves.
