8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The Condo itself was fine- but the "short walk" to the beach was a bit of a disaster. The wooden boardwalk which was like 50 ft was fine , but then you pass through the gate into Jurrrasic park a swampy marsh- sand and muck over your ankles and biting bugs! We literally sprinted to the beach- spent a few hours and then trecked back - we got bit so many times- we literally were swarmed by mosquitoes and who knows what else. My daughter got bit at least 15-20 times on back and legs and I was close to that as well. We seriously had to go get cortisone cream just stop the itching and pain. We then explored other beach options and found out the East Beach public beach- which we purposely booked close to for dog friendly and bathrooms- was closed for renovations! - None of this was mentioned when we secured the rental! Not good! :(- We ended up finding Massengil beach and had to drive each day and find parking to go to the beach because obviously we were not going to use the walk way to to get eaten up by the bugs again. And we were not the only ones! We met numerous people at the Ship Watch Pool that were suffering the same issues!! Adults and kids alike. We made the best of the situation- because that’s our nature, but we were extremely disappointed.

Great condo! Lots of room. Convenient to everything on St. Simons!

The washer/dryer was missing knobs. The bunk bed was very loose so when anyone moved, everyone was shaken. Spare room was quite small and had the washer/dryer in there but no tv. Whole space felt smaller than expected.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The unit was clean and as described. King bed was uncomfortable and washer/dryer worked despite not being able to tell the wash cycle from the old knob. Aside from being pet friendly, the complex on the other hand was disappointing. We stayed in the complex in 2020 and don't remember the noise from units above- not much sound proofing when someone walks or opens the sliding glass door. We took the boardwalk to the beach our first day there and when it ends, we had a further walk through marshy dunes. I'm sure the beach erosion has changed over the years, but we drove to East Beach the rest of the week and wouldn't stay at this complex again for that fact alone.
