We are repeat renters for the last 20 plus years. We normally rent from owners instead of Vrbo but we were happy to of found a clean place at the last minute.
The condo was all we needed for three nights for our family of five. If we were staying longer we would have needed a little more space. Three things I would recommend to the owners because we wouldnât rent here again for these three reasons. #1 no access to a washer and dryer. Thatâs a real negative. #2 no internet, didnât realize it before we booked. We made it work, but it would be a deal breaker in the future. #3 no smart TV. Basic cable only. Itâs 2022, not 2002. Other than those three things, the condo was fine.
The overall property is dated, but they have tried to maintain the outside and the grounds so it looks better than it could. We were here during COVID so lots of nice to haves, like chairs at the pool, were not available. The property stacked all the chairs in the pool atrium area and were just shoved in versus neatly stacked or stored elsewhere. Parking at this property is a joke. We had to leave a note on a car once that parked in our spot, but she parked in our spot because a truck kept parking in the no parking zone behind a group of 3 cars and if all 3 of us were there we couldn't back out. Perhaps parking is well communciated from the HOA to the residents, but I don't think all renters got the same communication that they only had one spot. The HVAC broke the third evenining into our weeklong stay, however it barely worked the two days prior. The property management company handled the situation beautifully and moved us for the rest of the week as it was going to be multiple days before the unit was fixed. My complaint is that this unit was clearly old and on the verge of breaking and should not be back on the rental market until it is properly replaced. I would recommend to anyone staying here that they verify the unit has been replaced before they rent it. The actual townhome itself is exactly like the pictures on the website. It's perfect for a family of four or less, but no more. It's dated inside, but it's clean. The road construction at the intersection of East Causeway and Demere Road, where a roundabout is going in, leads to a lot of daytime construction noise and occassional traffic snarls. However, that is out of the control of the owners or proprty management company. All in all we had a great trip to St. Simons, but would not stay at this complex again.
We loved our stay. I'm honestly was expecting something little farther from the SSI center but not really everything was close enough. Actually we used the golf cart for all our trips from the condom to the beach to restaurant to the water park and to the center. Excellent we definitely enjoyed it and we'll back next year. Thank you
