Perfect for first visit to St Simons

This unit was very nice for our first trip to St Simons. It is close to the beach as noted in the description and also walking distance to multiple restaurants (Fiddlers was our favorite). We had a short stay (3 nights), but this unit would work well for a longer stay. Unit was clean and well equipped. The owner went above and beyond when she shipped an item we left behind to us (we reimbursed the cost). This was much appreciated!

Girls Trip

We stayed here for our girls trip this year and this property was super cute and in a PERFECT location. It was close to restaurants and was within a short walk to the beach. The property was clean and check in and out was super easy due to a code lock, and we barely had to do anything to check out. Communication was great. We had to call once because we accidentally flipped a fuse(girls and their hairdryers😆) and couldn’t find the box to flip it back. The owner answered the phone on the second ring and was there to fix it in less than 5 minutes. She was so nice about it! I would gladly stay here again, and would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone visiting SSI! We had a great time and it was perfect for our trip!

Cute duplex in great location!

My spouse and I enjoyed our stay in this sweet single floor duplex that was just a short walk to the beach. Living space was comfortable and had all of the amenities of home. We had everything we needed to start off our vacation. Despite it being a duplex, you could not hear any noise from next door. The unit was close to a number of restaurants, shops and the beach. There was an umbrella and chairs available for our use but we opted to rent from in front of the Kings and Prince Resort so we didn’t have to carry them back and forth. There was a place to rent bikes just up the street too. Great place to stay in a great location!

Great Location, Cozy Cottage

LOVED this cottage! Located just a couple of blocks from the beach, close to The Crab Trap, easy access to shopping by the pier. Adorable inside, had everything we needed, even a couple of puzzles which were great for the evenings once we returned. Beds were really comfy (and I'm picky about those), AC worked like a charm for the unusually warm days we had in Feb. Melanie was quick to respond to messages. Had a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again next visit.
