Would absolutely stay here again! The master bed was so comfy and the location to the beach is ideal. Just a path through the sand and youâre there! I love that there are only four units in this building so itâs really easy to go back and forth without the headache.
The condo was in a great location and we could look out the balcony at the ocean. A short walk to the beach and a few blocks further to the shops and pier downtown. We cooked most of our meals at the home and had everything we needed. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
We loved Emily's Beach House! It's in a perfect location so we could walk into the village and also walk right to the beach. We loved the decor in the condo and everything was as advertised. The condo was clean and well taken care of. We loved sitting out on the porch listening to the waves in the mornings and evenings. We will definitely return for more visits.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emily's Cottage! It is comfortable and cozy. Among the many features that we liked was the walk-in shower. We had a lovely view of the ocean from the living room and the balcony. And it is literally 74 steps from the ocean. Our Oglethorpe neighbors were friendly and quiet. And it is an easy walk to The Village.
Loved this condo! Beautifully decorated, easy walk to beach. Parking right in front. Spent a lot of time reading on the balcony. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. The area was very quiet.
There was no hot water! Might explain the dirty dishes in the cupboards. It was a weekend and I called/texted several times before I got a response because it wasnât considered an emergency and it was a Sunday so the automated response said everyone was at church praying. There was no one available to look at the problem until Monday and the property group offered another property but they didnât meet our needs so they agreed to a refund and we went somewhere else.
Would I stay here again? YES
Great family vacation spot with the beach in view and an easy walk to let kiddos build sandcastles. The interior of the condo is well done and comfortable, with a back nook where our daughter snuck away to read during the storm.
The building is older and there is a musty smell in the entryway to the building, but the scent was NOT noticeable in the condo itself. If you are there during a storm, water will sneak in around the porch door, but it's easy to clear with a standard towel. Lastly, pick up a bag of ice at the grocery as the ice machine in the fridge doesn't work. None of these issues are a big deal. Afterall you're renting, you don't own the place. Just know there are minor inconveniences.
I feel that Covenant Properties did a good job communicating with us throughout the trip and beforehand. They get high marks for this because they live there and their power was probably out at their house too, and the still kept in touch through the tropical storm.
We were booked to stay in this adorable condo for 6 nights. Upon arrival, we were informed that the hot water heater wasnât working and there would be someone coming to fix it.
As you can see by the text messages I am attaching, the water heater was never fixed by the time we left.
Later, we were offered the condo below us that only had 1.5 baths for 4 adults, or we were offered a condo with one less bedroom that would becoming available. Our only other option was to pack up our bath products and go shower in the condo downstairs. The owners of the downstairs condo dropped by and asked if we knew if anyone was staying in their condo because they came by to measure something and saw someone had been using the shower. I told them it was us and we had been given permission by Covenant.
When I asked for some financial compensation, we were offered one night free for a future booking that could not include a holiday. I said that is unacceptable so we were finally given one night free. This is my fault totally for not reading the contract that they are not responsible for mechanical failures and this is what we were experiencing.
In the end, the whole week was spent glued to my phone to see when and if someone was coming by to work on the hot water heater.
I would definitely recommend this beautiful condo with a great location but would not stay in a Covenant property again.
Loved the location. The unit was exactly as pictured. Beds were super comfortable. Itâs set up for a ST stay (which we were) but if you are staying longer you will need to provide all the basics you would need. Spices,
Great house, was clean over all. Carpenter ants were in master bedroom and could not be used during
We checked in late. We found the master bedroom infested with flying carpenter ants. Tried to call the after hours emergency number but no one answered. The next morning, I was able to get assistance. I was offered another option but is was not in a great location. It was several blocks away from beach and on a busy road. We wanted to be close to the beach and have at least a view. Management company sent someone to clean up dead ants, spray for any new ants. It helped, but more ants were entering from the window and ceiling. They left the spray for us, and I did spray again and it seemed to help. I could not sleep in that room for fear more ants would return. We wound up using the little bonus room with pullout sofa and the room with twin beds for our stay, those rooms did not have ants. I feel like the condo should not be rented out if there is a bug problem. No one wants to sleep with bugs coming into the room. Property management tried to help, but not a lot they could do. Owner needs to get some pest control done on the building.
We stayed at Emilyâs Beach House for the Fourth of July, and have never had a better trip! The location was perfect, we brought our bikes, but also rented a golf cart to make getting around a little easier. The condo was clean and quiet, and we loved all the rustic hardwood and brick touches
We have stayed in the unit several times. It has been a couple of years but all the updates and new furniture was fantastic and it looks wonderful. We especially like that we can sit on the balcony and see and hear the ocean and the breeze this time was amazing!
We enjoyed our stay and intend to visit again! The place itself was clean and exactly what we needed for our family of four. Very close to the beach and within walking distance of the pier and all the restaurants there and also a walk, just a little further, to the restaurants near the King and Prince resort. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful girl's trip staying in this little gem. The condo was more than equipped with supplies and furnishings to feel right at home. We absolutely loved staying at St. Simons Island!
