This place is amazing! Beautiful room (palm Court) overlooking pond and gazebo. Excellent breakfast and timing. Excellent location! Excellent hostess Debi!!!! Very worth the price!
Wonderful place to stay while vacationing at Saint Simon’s Island. Breakfast is wonderful and the host is very gracious and helpful with sharing tourist spots and events happening on the island.
Gracious and comfortable property surrounded by beautiful grounds. The location was excellent for exploring St. Simons Island.

Had a great time, enjoyed the grounds as well as our room!
Very private and more than comfortable!!
Debbie the inn keeper was fantastic to say the least!!
We will be back for sure!!
The Gray Owl is a charming B&B slightly off the beaten path but convenient to everything on the island. It is a very quiet retreat with a pretty pond with fountain. The breakfasts were great and Betty was an excelllent host.
The Grey Owl Inn is a retreat within a retreat. The setting is lovely, the rooms are whimsically decorated, and it is located conveniently to all the local sights.
It almost seen like it was I first visited. The hostess greeted us on arrival. The room we choose was from the previous stay early this year. The breakfast was delicious and home made served with juice and coffee. The beach was breathtaking and beautiful. We visited some historic sites as well.
