    Terrific location near Mallery St
    Overall, a great property. Big rooms, very comfortable place. Superb walking distance to Mallery St and the beach…although it was too cold for the beach the weekend we stayed there. Would most definitely rent here again.

    Perfect place to stay in St. Simons Island. Quick walk to the Pier, close to restaurants and shops. The house is lovely. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Just so you know there are a lot of exterior and interior stairs.

    November visit
    Very nice property tho the list of rules seemed endless - mostly just common sense. There were 2 coffee makers but no coffee. In fact no basic supplies at all, except some dried herbs etc. We didn’t want to buy lots of food as we were only there 4 days, so a few pods of coffee would have been appreciated. Most vrbos I’ve stayed at supply some necessities, and most residents leave stuff they can’t use. Very spacious house in great location.

    Great location and beautiful spacious home
    We had the BEST stay when our family came to St. Simons for the first time to attend a friend's wedding! The home was so gorgeous and spacious and nestled in the most beautiful neighborhood within walking distance of some amazing shops and restaurants and of course walking distance to the water. We spend many days and nights on the home's gorgeous porches and would recommend to anyone!
