From beginning to end, we had a wonderful vacation. The house was very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we could possibly want. Heather was very quick to reach out before and during our stay to make sure we were happy with everything. We loved the bikes that were provided and enjoyed rides every day. The house had beach chairs, a wagon, towels, cooler, umbrella and beach games. We didn’t have to bring anything but clothes. Highly recommend 😊

Wow--where to start...stylish & comfortable home in great area of SSI--we walked to town and many nearby restaurants. The home was VERY clean, well appointed, very charming Pottery Barn meets the beach inspired. We spent so many hours on the screened porch with an amazing fire table, with separate standing heater for cooler nights. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, with an open floor plan that allowed our family group the right amount of togetherness and privacy. Heather has to be the friendliest and most communicative owner I've ever dealt with, (and I rent a lot of properties)--so helpful & knowledgeable of the area. My hope is to return for a warmer weather vaca soon. If you're looking for a great SSI experience, look no further.

We have stayed in many homes using VRBO over the years and this one rates among the best. I care about the little things and I’m quite the clean freak, so it can be hard to give such a high rating. This is someone’s home they are sharing NOT the standard rental. It is well cared for with all the things one May need when on vacation. The type of things I enjoy and notice are nice bedding, comfortable beds, nice thick towels and plenty of them, plenty of storage , the list goes on. Great communication with the owner who truly wants you to enjoy your visit to their home. I highly recommend this home if you are considering visiting St. Simons Island. The location is great, on a quiet street and you can walk to most anything you want to do!

This place was perfect for us. Quiet neighborhood with huge picture perfect trees draped in Spanish moss near restaurants and beach. Well appointed home, and everything functioned properly. Interior was tastefully furnished and comfortable. We were in town for a wedding and long weekend. Our host could not have been more gracious. We will definitely stay here again when we return to St Simons Island. I rarely give a review that is 100% positive but this place is great.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and well cared for. The owners were lovely. We all loved St. Simon's Island and all it has to offer. Looking forward to our next stay.

This property was amazing and perfect for our girls trip. The owners prepared an extremely helpful guide book not just detailing the rules of the property but detailing things to do and see, places to eat and other activities. The home was very well maintained, spacious and overall just enjoyable. Definitely would stay again if we go back.

This gorgeous home far exceeded our expectations. Perfect location and within walking distance to everything. We will be staying here again.

Great location
We had a great time! For parents of littles, our pack and play easily fit in master closet and there is an outlet for the sound machine. Plenty of towels for our week stay. Very clean.
The guest bedrooms don’t have enough floor space for pack and play to be set up.
There is no tub, but walk-in shower worked fine for bathing our 2 & 5 year old.
We liked that the kitchen had everything you could think of and eating on screened in back porch was convenient.
A golf cart is a great asset; renting for the week helped us get to and from beach easily at public beach access. You’ll want a tide table online to follow because public beaches get small at high tide. Mass whale or East beach has beach areas less affected by tide.
We liked that the owner has lots of extras - bikes, large cooler, beach towels, beach chairs and even a picnic basket so less you need to pack.
We found the neighborhood to be great - very quiet, close to tons of parks, restaurants, the pier village, lighthouse. We liked that there was not a pool because our two year old is very much the explorer and this felt like a safe option. Very little stairs (as so many condos have you hauling several flights).
The owner was highly responsive and helpful! We did experience an unexpected problem during our stay but she handled it quickly with a lot of generousity.

Excellent accomodations in very nice neighborhood.
This is an older home but has been tastefully updated to produce an excellent vacation spot. We spent a month and enjoyed our stay very much. The photos do not at all over show the house which is often the case. What you see, is what you get and what you get is excellent. Kitchen is very well equipped, beds are very comfortable, nice showers, great HVAC, great TVs, fireplace, etc etc. We would recommend purchasing water for drinking and coffee. The home is on city water which is heavily chlorinated; nothing the homeowner can control. Restaurants, shops etc are a short walk from the quiet little neighborhood. Plenty of Live Oaks with moss. Owners were very responsive to questions and provided plenty of suggestions for restaurants and activities.
This place is a keeper.

Perfect house for a girls’ weekend. Very short walk to the village, and beach, short bike ride to the coffee shop and grocery store. The back porch with gas fireplace was awesome! In a beautiful neighborhood, near a park full of Live Oaks. Would definitely stay again!

From start to finish, a wonderful experience. The owner, Heather, made us feel welcome via email before our stay and offered suggestions for restaurants, things to do, etc.. The house itself is beautifully updated with a well-equipped kitchen, great screened back porch, comfortable bedrooms, etc. Easy 5 min walk to Pier Village, Lighthouse, many shops/restaurants. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day September getaway in this lovely welcoming home. Not only super clean and in excellent condition with all the amenities we could ever need, but it added all those unique touches to make our stay extra special. In a quiet neighborhood with all of those beautiful moss-draped oaks, it's just a short walk to the beach, shops & restaurants of the Village, the famous Pier and Lighthouse. We also took advantage of the bikes provided for riding all over the island along the plentiful bike paths. Our gracious homeowner was very accommodating and most efficient in answering our questions or concerns both before and during our trip. Thank you for your kind hospitality! It couldn't have been more perfect and we look forward to another visit in the future for more sightseeing-we wouldn't think of staying any other place!!

Quaint Stay
My family of 6 enjoyed this home. It is has a large master bedroom and open kitchen/den. The backyard and porch provided a nice extension of the house for our grandson to play. We were able to watch football on the porch tv.
The area is great place to ride bikes and a HUGE plus that 4 bikes were included in the rental. We rented additional bikes from Bike Dude (they were recommended by Heather and their service was spot on).
Most of all, Heather was an exceptional host. She was easily accessible and checked on us numerous times.
We would definitely return to this rental when staying on SSI.

Wonderful Stay
We're just back from our four day vacation. We loved the house and our stay. The location was wonderful and the house was very clean. Outdoor area is beautiful but it was too hot for us to enjoy. Heather has been very helpful from the start till the end. She replied all of our questions right away. SSI is beautiful and very peaceful. I highly recommend this charming cottage.

Had a great 4 night stay in this home with our 1 year old and extended family. Very clean, nicely decorated, and very well stocked kitchen (we cooked a lot!). Great location walking distance to beach access, though not much of a beach at high tide, and restaurants, shops, playgrounds. The screened in porch was awesome, but too hot to enjoy while we were visiting. Owner was a great host and very communicative. If traveling with kids, one thing to be aware of is there aren’t any bathtubs. Would definitely consider staying again!

Home Away from Home
We really enjoyed our stay on SSI. The owner of this property was very helpful and all around a great host. The home was in excellent condition. The sleeping accommodations were great. The house is set up to allow plenty of room to have some space of your own, yet plenty of common space to share family game nights and great meals. The lot is beautifully landscaped with lots of privacy. We were also a short walking distance to the beach and to the heart of town. With the bikes the owner provided, we were able to bike all over the island. Highly recommend this property.

Not sure where to start. The house was absolutely perfect ,from the layout to the Host . I don't want to be long winded but I can't say enough about this home. My family has stayed at a few VRBO listings but never has a Host been so perfect . We will be back to the island again but don't have to bother looking anywhere else to stay . Looking forward to my next trip to St. Simons. See ya soon.

Beautiful Modern Home in Perfect Location
We loved everything! This home is freshly designed has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking or grilling and it is emaculate! We enjoyed the mornings on the screened in porch looking at the lovely yard. At night we made fires in the fire pit. The host made sure that the house was equipped with bikes, firewood, beach chairs, umbrellas anything you can think of they had available. This is a home of comfort. We were walking distance to restaurants enjoyed great hikes and visiting Jekyll Island. Our hostess was super she reached out to us several times during our stay to make sure we were having a great experience and offered suggestions on things to do. This has been the best two weeks we’ve had since Covid! We will definitely return.

We LOVED EVERYTHING! The home is freshly designed, has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking or grilling and CLEAN!! We Enjoyed the mornings on the screened in porch with the many throw blankets and looking at the lovely yard. We also liked making fires in the fire pit at night, loads of wood. Bikes were available to take into town. The home is within walking/ bike ride to great restaurants, beach, landmarks. The beds were super comfortable. I can’t say enough about our stay. This home was exactly as expected from viewing the photos, if not better. You will not be disappointed. (Hall bath shower a little tight for an adult- that would be my only negative) but I would book again- lovely street, very quiet and best location to get around. Our hostess was so nice, reaching out several times during our trip to make sure we were enjoying our stay and offered suggestions on things to do.

Simply the Best....Better than All the Rest!
I was looking for the perfect place to give my wife a break from serving as a frontline RN throughout the pandemic and this was the absolute best in every way imaginable. Heather and Dean treat their guests as members of their family and took great pride in making us feel right at home. They go out of their way to provide all the comforts of home and then some. If you’re looking for the perfect St. Simons Island location, the perfect hosts and the perfect home, look no further. The quiet street, lined with Oak trees draped in Spanish moss was a gorgeous location.
My wife fell in love with the “Pottery Barn” farmhouse decor. The array of fireplaces (outside, patio, living room and master bedroom) more than satisfied her craving for a warm cozy cabin feel. The kitchen and pantry were well equipped and stocked with everything you need to cook and bake anything you want.
The cottage was immaculately clean and included plenty of linens and towels. The bikes were a great way for us to explore the island and the house was well within a leisurely stroll to dinner, the lighthouse, the beach and the pier. I don’t know how hosts achieve certain rating status on vacation rental websites but Heather and Dean are exceptional in every way and deserve a “SuperHost” rating!
Perhaps the best way for me to close this review is simply to say I hope to return to spend more extended time on St. Simons Island often and I will look to stay here every time! Thanks so much!
