The hostess was very nice and the home reminded me of home. Breakfast was delicious and service’s with a smile. Very knowledgeable of the areas (dining, tourism and where to get drinks. The yard was well maintained and very beautiful ( very colorful plants). Will be returning in the fall. Thanks for a a memorable visit. Tye/Mike
One of the best B&B's we've ever stayed in. It certainly lived up to it's website and delivered everything it promised. The setting was particularly lovely with the pond and beautiful old trees, and the owner was gracious and helpful without being intrusive. We look forward to going back!
The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. We were surprised when the bed was not made or towels replaced, as we were not advised that the management did not service the rooms at all during our stay. We did request more coffee, and it was left outside the room for us. The breakfasts were delicious, hot, and made to order. The inn is centrally located, and it was easy to get to attractions and the beach. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
I loved the property with its fountain pond and lush landscaping. It is within walking distance to the beaches and some very nice eateries. My room was themed about Dr. Albert Schweitzer and the safari camp where HRM Elizabeth II was staying when she inherited the throne upon her father's passing. The whole property is just filled with such details from books to gardens. And the breakfast in the sun room overlooking the garden was delicious and so relaxing (soothing if you will). Staff was awesome and helpful in finding things to see locally.
Beautiful quaint facility in wonderful location. Room and bed comfortable but lacked a closet or place for hanging clothes. Service was friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast.
Wow, this place was great, from the room, to the grounds, to the breakfast, and especially the hostess. They knocked it out of the park. No doubt that we'll be back.
Liked: Comfortable bed. Large room. Friendly host.
Didn’t like limited breakfast choice. Prefer other B & B’s that have several side choices offered each day for all main entrees, ie fruit, meats, breads, juices.
And engaging in keeper. Wonderful made hoping to order breakfast. A good addition would be the availability of a few beach cruiser bicycles with baskets on site for guests to use.
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.
Lovely location; very picturesque setting. Delicious breakfast. Debi was a very friendly host. I wish I had returned here for the last few days of my stay on St. Simons Island, instead of the other place I went to. If I come back, I will spend more time at Grey Owl. The elevator was a wonderful convenience; we did not have to tote our bags up and down the stairs.
This place was amazing, you felt right at home the moment you walked in. The grounds are so well maintained and the Inn is spotless. Debi the Inn keeper was so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was outstanding.
We needed the lift which was broken. No adjustment was made because of this. No daily maid service was offered or mentioned. Otherwise, the place is lovely with lots of special features. The daily full breakfast is wonderful.
