The house was amazing! Large enough to accommodate our annual 4th of July vacation! Everything was perfect!

Pros: Great location, fenced in back yard, very pet friendly because there is tile EVERYWHERE (which also means no bad odors linger). Master on the main floor. Great for large groups. Good place to store your luggage because you are away from the house most of your stay. Cons: House is barren of personality, decor, and properly functioning appliances. Appears as though nothing has changed since house was built in 2001. This includes pillows, bedding (bed toppers and quality of sheets), paint to cover water stains on ceiling, rotted wood around most windows, NO option to open any window because the crank handles have all been removed. I had to ask for a vacuum and broom and iron and blankets which should be standard in every rental. Fireplace is ventless so there is no need to clean chimney. Allow it to be operable. One review had Vacasa say there is no gas in the house so no need for CO2 detector. The cooktop IS gas as well as fireplace. I opened a CO2 detector that was in laundry room and plugged it in. IMO, Vacasa is too big to be able to take care of renter's needs and actually manage a property. I would not recommend this property for more than a 1 week stay

Walking to the beach and restaurants was terrific. The master bedroom and bath very nice. The other beds were only so, so. There was a leg missing on a dressing table and stained upholstery in the office room. The garbage disposal and the vent for the stove didn't work, but otherwise the kitchen was great for cooking. We would stay there again.

We loved the layout of the house (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, and the lovely office (a couple of us had to work some on our vacation). Kitchen was well stocked. A very comfortable home for a larger size family (we had a total of 10 people).

We were very happy with Papa’s Place. Very nice home with EVERYTHING you will need . It is within walking distance to beach / shops/ restaurants/ parks( 5 minute walk). The home is large and beds are comfortable.. Communication with rental company was easy with quick response . You won’t be disappointed if you rent this home!

Great size for families and location is walking distance to the beach (we used our golf cart). I was disappointed in a few things - the floors were filthy when we checked in, turned the bottoms of our feet black. We actually went to the store, bought cleaner, and mopped ourselves. The master bed on the main floor is broken - has about a 15 degree decline at the head so when you sleep your feet are resting higher than your head. My wife and I ended up turning around and sleeping with our head at the foot board and our feet at the head board. The elevator is nice to have for luggage but if you sleep in the master bed, you will hear a 2-3 second mechanical hum about every 60 seconds so beware if you’re a light sleeper. There is a grill on the patio but when we took burgers out there we realized there was no propane - not that the tank was empty, there was no tank at all - so we had to broil them in the oven instead. One of the knobs are missing on the stovetop but other than that all appliances worked great. The A/C works great as well, house stays nice and cool. There’s a nice big sun room with large dining room table which is good for dinner or game night. All in all a nice, large house close to the beach which is what we were looking for.

House was as described - very spacious and good parking. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Has a drip coffee maker and a keurig. Office space was a plus and was used a few times by several of us. Lots and lots of beach towels clean and folded in laundry room. New washer and dryer.
Would suggest adding 3 more chairs to the front porch, as there were only 3. Same for back porch - only 3. Coffee table on back deck kinda shot, could be replaced. Enjoyed sitting on both the front and back porches depending on time of day. Appreciated the shade cover on the back porch - very effective. Gas grill is new and is huge - good for a house that may have a crowd eating dinner. Subzero refrigerator is also huge- also good for a big family's food.

Papa's Place was amazing! We had everything we needed; and our questions were answered within minutes. The house was lovely and HUGE! We had plenty of room. Friday evening, we had guests for dinner; and it didn't even feel crowded. There was room for everyone to chat, play games, laugh...it was simply perfect! Many thanks to everyone who made it such a great experience!

My family of 7 (all adults) enjoyed our week on Saint Simons Island at Papa’s Place. The house location is excellent as it’s a short five minute walk to East Beach and also walking distance (10-15 minutes) to the Pier Village area that has many restaurants (Must Go to Georgia Sea Grill), ice cream (recommend Saint Simon Sweets), shopping, and the Lighthouse Museum. The house was clean, comfortable, and definitely roomy with its 5 bedrooms (2 on first floor and 3 on 2nd floor) and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen has quality working appliances and everything we needed to cook-in a couple nights and prepare breakfast in morning. We used the gas grill a couple times which was fine except the grill grates needed a good cleaning first. The house could use some updating overall, but the central A/C keeps the property very comfortable inside. The floors were a little dirty in spots and the beds were okay; not the most comfortable, but overall very livable for a short stay.
Communication with the property manager via text was good as he responded pretty quick to my texts. Only issues we had were that the front door sometimes didn’t lock easily (several attempts required), a couple lights in the bathrooms didn’t work, and the back deck is pretty much useless because it’s so hot and humid.
For future renters of this property, the Vrbo listing states a hair dryer is included but it is NOT as confirmed by the property manager when I asked. Ladies, bring your hair dryer. The property also does NOT provide beach chairs which would be nice since the property is so close to a great beach. Recommend the property include beach equipment (3 or 4 foldable beach chairs and umbrella) along with the beach towels which are already provided.

My family had a great weekend on St Simons Island. The location of the house was perfect, within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and pier. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our large family. I enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Communication with the property manager was excellent and he got back to me right away when I had a problem locking the front door. The floors were a little dirty and the beds were not the most comfortable, but otherwise great property.

Our gang of eight get together every year, 4 couples who worked together years ago. The house worked fine for us. It is in a great location, easy walk to lighthouse, pier and beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen worked fine. Elevator and hot tub are off limits. Could use bedside lights. Lights in our room all ceiling mounted and controlled by the switch at the door.
Good spot for a large family or group of friends.

We were looking for a home to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This home was perfect for us. We had plenty of room and it was so clean. We really appreciated the hand soap at every sink & the scattered boxes of tissue. The rental staff was so easy to work with, too. We thank you for everything.

The house was very nice. Plenty of room and loved the large dining area. Kitchen was nice for preparing meals. Mattresses in 2 of the guest rooms were not comfortable and guest had trouble sleeping.
The outside backyard was unusable due to extremely large dog poops which literally covered the entire area. We looked for a shovel to clean it up but there wasn’t one.
We did enjoy our stay and it is a perfect house for a family getaway. I do think a 10am check out is a little early to get up have breakfast, clean up after breakfast, get the family all ready to leave and finish packing the car. 11am is much more reasonable considering the pricepoint for this house. Overall we had a very good time and enjoyed the house and our time there.

Perfect family getaway!
We loved staying here. It was big enough for our multigenerational family to meet on the island. It was conveniently located just away from the hustle and bustle. The fenced yard was fabulous for traveling with our puppy, and there was more than enough space for all our needs. We used the kitchen quite a bit, and main floor master suite with a sleep number bed was perfect for my folks! The elevator was a nice plus for the elders in the group. I would absolutely go back!!

Ample sized rooms, great patio and high ceilings gave us room to exhale. Large formal dining room and nice dishes made beautiful holiday meal possible. Cool to have a separate wine cooler along with other nice kitchen appliances. Dogs loved the back yard and we loved the high fence, especially the lights along its perimeter. Wish we could've parked in garage or used the hot tub, though. Double sinks in kitchen super handy and layout makes non-stop socializing possible. Wish the display on the microwave worked and that we'd had access to a broom and vacuum, however. Surprised there was an elevator (even though it didn't work).

Close to the beach. Easy to access. Good for well-behaved pets. Clean and plenty of appliances and kitchenware. Enough privacy for an extended family to stay comfortably. Some mattresses could use an upgrade but bringing a foam cover would solve that easily. Would recommend.
