We brought our family to come stay for a few days and loved the house! There were plenty of bedroom options to meet everyone's needs and the living/dining area was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies that made cooking our meals easy. We loved the location as the walk to the beach was easy and we could also easily walk to the pier and shops. Check in and out were both easy and we would definitely recommend this property to anyone!

We need a home with 7 beds for 7 guys on a golf outing trip. This house fit the bill, was close to the Village and restaurants. The beds was comfortable and there was plenty of linens to accommodate everyone. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed to have everything you’d need. The house does have a lot of steps but we old guys managed to do alright with. There was a couple of restaurants you could actually walk to from the house.

We loved our first time coming to Saint Simons! The beach is a short walk away and the area is super nice and quiet. There is a little ice cream shop on the way to the beach that is so neat for the kids to play. The beach house has stairs but we didn't mind at all. We liked that it had enough space if you need to go take a nap or just need some peace and quiet from everyone else. Over all our stay was great and we would look forward to coming back to stay away sometime

Week at the beach
The town house is very convenient to the beach and a few restaurants that are in walking distance. Great spot to hang out with family for the week! Plenty of room to spread out but lots of stairs to climb. I would rent this place again because of the short walk to beach and restaurants! Right next to masengale park and king and prince resort! Thanks Nancy for answering any questions I had about the house!

Very good experience with renting house. Problems with 2 toilets but owner took care of having plumber come out the same day that I sent her a message. Beds were very comfortable. Furniture in family room was porch like furniture and could have been more comfortable. Overall - good location and plenty of room.

This is a great location. There was plenty of space for everyone. It was nice not to have to worry about bringing linens and towels. Lots of amenities but we were disappointed that we couldn't ride the bikes as all of the tires needed air but no way to pump the up. We had older family members with us. There are 3 flights of stairs. There are bedrooms on the lowest floor but you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the living area. This was not ideal for my parents or anyone who might have issues climbing stairs. As a techy family, we found the outlets were in odd places and some difficult to access (on the floor under furniture). Because we had to shift some furniture we noticed that it is probably time for a deep spring cleaning. The townhouse was easy and convient to access with a key code. Hope the code is being changed before each rental. Although I have listed a few observations, none had a negative impact on our stay. We had a great time in St. Simon. Loved being able to walk to restaurants near by! Recommend Crab Daddys but call for a reservation. Barrier Island Brewing had some tasty craft beer. Short walk to the beach.

This was a perfect house and perfect location to stay with family and friends. The only problem was that the bottom floor sliding door wouldn’t open. Other than that, everything was beyond perfect! Great location! We walked to the beach and restaurants everyday!

This condo is located in a perfect location in easy walking distance to the beach as well as a number of popular restaurants near the King and Prince resort. It is extremely spacious and was well cleaned and fully stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. There is room for two vehicles in the driveway, but our group was able to find ample overflow parking nearby, even during the very busy Memorial Day weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

The property has plenty of space and is very convenient to the beach and some good restaurants. And the fireplace and easy-burn logs were nice as it was a bit chilly. And the price was good. But the place was dirty. The carpets had not been vacuumed. A mask and a takeout menu were on the floor next to items. Counters and pots and pans were sticky or grimy. Showers and Keurig had old water mineral scum. Doors were sticky and handles loose. We could not find the beach towels until we tried to dry the ones we brought — they had been left in the dryer and were still damp. The beach chairs and umbrella mentioned in other reviews were nowhere to be found. There is a nice balcony on the top floors — but no chairs or other furniture. Generally not kept up.

A wonderful stacked house allowing both shared and private spaces. The well appointed, open plan kitchen supports a nice variety of cooking activities in the common area.. The geographic location offers proximity to both beach, and shops. What a great spot !

The property was perfect for our family! The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and tons of beach stuff to us! The house had a fun layout that was just right for us. The beach was super close too.
My only critique, and a very small one, was the sliding doors to the balaconies need some TLC. They were difficult to maneuver. They seem to just need some lubrication or something. They didnt really affect our overall stay though. We loved the property and would ABSOLUTELY rent again!!!

Let me get the negative out of the way first. When we arrived on Sunday the two trash cans out in front of the property where you park where overflowing with trash from previous renters. We know from the check in procedures that trash is only picked up on Tuesdays, so with 10 people staying for the week, this is going to be an issue with where to put trash that we accumulate until Tuesday. We placed two more bags on top of the cans & by Monday this had become an issue with flies & a horrible smell. Keep in mind that this is a very tight space for parking & where these cans are located, you have to walk past these entering & exiting the condo. Moving forward to when we came off the beach Tuesday afternoon, we immediately noticed that the trash had not been picked up. You could actually smell it from the corner. I notified the owner who said she would get in touch with the sanitation company. At this point, it is a nuisance & quite disgusting with the smell & the amount of flies around the area. But, I understand the owner didn't have control until I contacted her to let her know it was not picked up. She notified me that the sanitation company would be out that afternoon or first thing in the morning. So, we are moving into our 4th day with10 people accumulating trash with nowhere to put it. On Wednesday is where I have issue with the owner. Trash again was not picked up & I had to let her know. At that point I think the owner should have checked with not only myself but also the sanitation company to make sure it was done. It wasn't until I notified her on Wednesday that it wasn't picked up that she called the sanitation company. Their response was to see if we would deliver the trash to the local dump. (UNREAL) So, long story short, the trash that was left behind by the previous renters that had been sitting there for well over a week, was not picked up until Thursday morning, 5 days into our vacation.Now to the positive. This condo is all about location. Very nice short walk to the beach. The place is well spread out inside & very comfortable. Easily slept 10 adults. Kitchen was well stocked & the use of chairs & umbrella (by a few that forgot theirs) was a nice addition. The parking is very limited, there is only room to park 2 cars back to back in driveway. We had 5 separate vehicles because of everyone coming from different locations, but were able to park the 3 other cars a short walk away in front of the King & Prince. No big deal.

Great location!!
This rental has a lot of room and is in a super convenient location to the beach (shorter walk than we even expected) and everything else (less than 2 block walk to Crabdaddys, Crab Trap, etc...)! The unit comes stocked with anything you could need to use on the beach....which was a huge plus for us!! The owner is very easy to work with and quick with communication! There were a few issues but she had someone there to check on those ASAP. The unit needs some minor repairs and the cleaning person did not do a good job prior to our arrival, but it did not affect our stay at all!

The owner of this property is extremely friendly. The townhome is in close proximity to the beach and is easily accessible. We had a total of 10 guests and we all fit perfectly inside with plenty of privacy and room to spread out. Would definitely stay again.

Summer Vacation
The owners were good to work with you. Every time I emailed her she responded. I know the issue of parking has come up before with this property, but there really is a lack of parking especially on a holiday weekend. The first floor bedrooms are adjoined and you have to go through the first bedroom to get to the second bedroom and the bathroom. A little inconvenient. Over all it was a good stay. There are four flights of stairs and if anyone has any health issues this might make it difficult to enjoy the property. We had two individuals with health issues which limited their going about because of the stairs. Not a complaint just letting the next person know.

Great weekend retreat!
Lovely property and so convenient to beach and downtown. Rooms were exactly as pictured. While we carpooled, there were still 3 cars so parking was challenging-driveway only allowed for 2 and many other spots were reserved. Seemed to be a shortage of towels/wash clothes for 10 people but otherwise was a perfect home. Would definitely stay here again.
